Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 350

Chapter 350: Savage!

The moment the name Wu Sheng Yi appeared, the entire area fell into a dead silence. There was nobody on Azure Blue World who did not know this name!

The top ten on the Heaven’s Chosen Roll were all exceptional demon-level geniuses. They were all capable of beating fourth level cultivators with their cultivation of the third level!

But despite that, it was safe to say that even if the second- to ninth-placed geniuses joined hands against him, they might still not necessarily be able to beat Wu Sheng Yi!

No one knew where Wu Sheng Yi came from, but within the short time span of a single year, he rose to the top position of the Heaven’s Chosen Roll. His case could be considered as the sudden emergence of a new force!

“So that person was Wu Sheng Yi! He looks completely ordinary, but who would have guessed that he’s actually so strong!”

“Exactly. Those people deserved their fate, to actually dare to attack him!”

“Killing over a thousand experts at the same level with a single strike… is that still something that could be accomplished by a human?”

The onlookers were still suspended in a state of shock. Why did this sound like something out of a fantasy story? But no matter how much the crowd did not want to believe that matter, the facts were laid out before their eyes.

Countless people were heavily impacted by what they witnessed. Was there any way common cultivators like them could still play like this?

Which of these cultivators did not need to wreck their brains with schemes and risk their life just to kill someone of the same cultivation level? But this Wu Sheng Yi simply threw down a huge AOE ultimate ability and killed off a thousand people! This was so absurd that other cultivators at the same level as him could not even lift their heads with shame!

“How strong! As expected of the number one on the Heaven’s Ranking Roll!”

Aboard the numerous flying ships, the top disciples of the large sects were all smacking their lips with awe. Unexpectedly, this Wu Sheng Yi was even stronger than the legends painted him!

Some of the haughtier disciples of the sects were originally still quite unhappy about the ranking created by the Heaven’s Chance Sect. They felt that since they were all similarly third level cultivators, how much stronger could an individual be compared to the rest? But never had they thought that someone on the third level of cultivation could actually be strong to such an extent!

Even a fourth level cultivator would probably not be able to do as well as Wu Sheng Yi if they were asked to execute the same technique!

The younger generation disciples of those large sects were not the only ones aboard the flying ships. The strongest fighters of each sect had also arrived with them. Their main mission was to prevent Tian Mozi from slipping away, and to obtain the thing in his hand!

Large amounts of resources, single-use weapons, and all sorts of talismans were passed into the hands of the disciples.

These weapons were capable of unleashing an attack at the peak of the third level. Furthermore, their production cost was extremely high. But for the sake of the item in Tian Mozi’s hands, the sects did not hesitate to invest heavily into this mission!

The number of special weapons, talismans, and resources placed on the disciples of the ten great sects numbered over a million when added together! The number of third level cultivators were over 700,000! One could easily imagine how much the ten sects had spent this time!

If there were any accidents, the losses were something that not even the ten great sects could bear!

The losses would be enough to cripple them. But as long as they could get the item on Tian Mozi’s body, even if a million disciples and weapons were lost, it was still something they could bear!

After all, that thing was capable of helping the experts at the peak of the ninth level to breach their bottleneck and ascend to a higher realm! For these people who had lost all hope and could not advance any further, this was worth paying any price!

If they could break through to the realm above ninth level, it would be simplicity itself to establish a stronger sect from scratch!

One million cultivators was an impressive sight, its grandeur and scale something one could hardly imagine! And this was not counting the number of rogue cultivators. Including them, there were over two million people entering the secret realm!

And this was not two million regular people, but two million third level cultivators!

Without any exaggerations, if all these people were to unleash a strike together in an instant, the entire planet would be heavily damaged with gaping holes and scars everywhere!

Countless people flooded into the secret realm. The Ancient Spirit Secret Realm was an extremely unpredictable place. The opening and closing time of its entrance was never fixed. Sometimes it would remain open for three years, sometimes for ten. But when it was about to close, there would always be obvious signs in the secret realm. If one failed to exit in time, they would be stuck within forever!

From the time the signs appeared until the exit was closed, one had two month’s time to leave. Unless one was extremely unlucky and was stuck too deep inside the secret realm, this was sufficient time to leave.

The rogue cultivators were not the only ones to include people who suppressed their own cultivation to enter the secret realm. The large sects had similarly sent some cultivators with higher cultivation but lacking the potential to break through, and told them to suppress their cultivation and enter the secret realm.

Countless cultivators were flooding into the secret realm excitedly. In the instant they stepped through the entrance, they were transported into the vast space inside.

“The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi is really thick here! It’s actually double of what we have outside!”

“That’s the Blue Jade Root! And there’s even a Golden Flame Flower?! So many spirit herbs!”

The moment they stepped into the secret realm, those rogue cultivators were dazzled by the precious spirit herbs littered everywhere. The rare and expensive spirit herbs that were usually hard to obtain could be seen everywhere like the cabbages sold in wet markets.

In stark contrast to the awed rogue cultivators, the peak geniuses from the sects immediately gathered together into groups without even turning to look at the spirit herbs. Their target this time was Tian Mozi only. Nothing else mattered!

“Hou!”

“Sha!”

“Yin!”

All kinds of loud roars rang out continuously from the lush forests. In a short moment, numerous huge beasts with dangerous auras began to appear one by one!

“So many Demonic Beasts! Run!”

Over a thousand rogue cultivators had gathered together and formed a large group after hearing about the dangers in the secret realm as soon as they stepped in. But before they had even gone far, that group had already run into trouble!

Over a hundred Demonic Beasts had appeared, all drooling and snarling as they looked at the bunch of two-legged creatures panicking before them.

“Everyone, don’t be afraid, there are less Demonic Beasts here than us! Also, it’s not like the outside world doesn’t have the same species of Demonic Beasts. As long as we stay together, we can definitely slay them!” an old man stood out and shouted loudly as he gathered the crowd.

This old man was an elder of a large clan. The reason he came this time was naturally for the rewards offered by the ten great sects. He had a cultivation at the seventh level, and even though his cultivation had been suppressed to the third level, he was not someone that an ordinary third level cultivator could be compared with.

The group of Demonic Beasts were snorting and kicking their heels coldly with disdain. Those humans actually dared to resist? Truly a bunch of people who did not know life from death!

“Hou!”

A six meter long jet black tiger strutted out to the front gracefully, raised its head, and roared. The other Demonic Beasts around it immediately laid down on the ground in submission to it.

“Catch the boss and the gang will collapse by itself! Wait for this old man to slay this evil creature first!” Li Du declared arrogantly. From the way he saw it, these Demonic Beasts who lived their entire lives in the secret realm were like a bunch of flowers in a sheltered greenhouse. They were surely lacking in battle experience. If he made a move himself, he would definitely be able to catch the black tiger!

“Face your death, vile creature!”

The old man stepped on a third level crescent-shaped blade and flew out. His speed was extremely fast, instantly surpassing five times the speed of sound! The crescent blade under his feet separated from him, chopping down towards the black tiger!

“Dang!”

“Pu!”

The black tiger narrowed its eyes and did not even dodge. It regarded the blade flying towards it with disdain. Only when the blade reached its body did it raise a paw and swatted at it. After that, it swung out its other paw which instantly ripped through Li Du’s chest!

Li Du was directly torn in two and collapsed on the ground!

“Hou!”

The black tiger roared again, this time as if it was giving an order. In an instant, the hundred-plus Demonic Beasts charged into the crowd!

Similar scenes were happening all over the secret realm.

As chaos ensued, an inconspicuous translucent line dropped from the sky, landing on a quiet area in the secret realm where it remained unmolested.

Bei Feng’s mouth was hanging wide open with shock as he looked at the huge patches of spirit herbs around the hook. In that moment, he felt a little giddy from the sudden arrival of happiness!

Chapter 351: System, Let’s Make A Deal

The secret realm was experiencing its most chaotic moment since the time that it’d been created. Countless cultivators were flooding into it, and large numbers of cultivators and Demonic Beasts were dying every second.

But overall, the number of cultivators who died was much more. The Demonic Beasts were trashing the cultivators, their unexpectedly powerful strength catching the latter off guard!

Everyone thought that these Demonic Beasts were merely a bunch of native bumpkins with no combat experience. Reality, however, gave all of them a harsh slap on the face!

The Demonic Beasts were strong to a perverse extent. Ordinary third level cultivators could not even last ten blows against any of the Demonic Beasts before they were smacked to death!

These Demonic Beasts were not as weak and inexperienced as people expected, the reason being that they had been living in the secret realm for too long!

Although the secret realm was huge, it was ultimately still a place with limited space. But why was it that there wasn’t much change to the number of Demonic Beasts?

That was because all the weaklings had already been eliminated long ago and turned into food. The powerful Demonic Beasts only grew stronger and stronger as time passed!

The battle techniques and talent of these Demonic Beasts had been passed down for generations through their bloodlines. Those that dared to underestimate them were now all dead.

A million years of evolution had turned the still surviving Demonic Beasts into battle machines. In a sense, they had reached the limit of strength in the third level of cultivation!

At this time, everyone started to remember the rumors they heard before they entered the secret realm. Some of the rogue cultivators who’d gone in in previous years not only did not exaggerate their abilities, but said that they had vastly underestimated the dangers inside!

As death stared these people in their eyes, they finally understood why those rogue cultivators had been so reluctant to talk about their experiences in the secret realm before!

Countless cultivators were struggling desperately at this moment as they engaged the Demonic Beasts in battle.

Only after suffering a huge loss in their numbers did everyone finally begin to realize the true strength of these Demonic Beasts. Their bodies were strong to a ridiculous point, and anyone who got too close to them would suffer heavy injuries!

The cultivators gathered together into large groups and threw out talismans as if they were worthless paper. Everything was done just to keep the Demonic Beasts away!

A portion of the people took out their spirit weapons, controlling them from far away to attack the Demonic Beasts.

With enough people, the types of weapons became more varied. The different types of weapons complemented each other well and the Demonic Beasts were killed very quickly!

In another location, a spirit weapon shaped like a fishing net was thrown out, wrapping around a large Demonic Beast. A large number of experts instantly stepped out and used ice-attributed abilities to further inhibit the Demonic Beast’s movement. After that, the rest quickly threw their strongest attacks and weapons against its tough armor!

However, the Demonic Beast was not a pushover, either. The stronger Demonic Beasts were all capable of dealing powerful damage. With them in the lead, and numerous smaller Demonic Beasts behind them, they were also able to form into small groups which tore holes through the humans’ defensive lines!

Once they broke into the humans’ ranks, the Demonic Beasts completely wreaked havoc and bared their fangs and claws, unleashing their full strength.

At this time, a group of cultivators with over 10,000 members had surrounded several hundred Cloud Leopards, engaging them in a fierce battle. These cultivators were clad in black armors, and their faces were icy and cold. They were like a group of zombies, advancing and retreating as one!

The strongest among this group of 10,000 was only at the peak of the third level. There were even many people at the early third level stage. But when added together, they had a combined strength that allowed them to slaughter this group of Cloud Leopards easily!

The inner dan of the Cloud Leopard was a main ingredient for a type of foundation establishment pill. It was capable of allowing a third level cultivator to unlock their body’s potential perfectly. This kind of pill was extremely precious and if one’s name was not on the Heaven’s Chosen Roll, one would not even have the qualifications to use it!

The reason for this was that the Cloud Leopards had already gone extinct long ago in the outside world. All the foundation establishment pills on Azure Blue World were all bought from the Tianyuan Star!

Only precious Demonic Beasts like the Cloud Leopards were good enough to catch the eye of the sect disciples who were out for just a single mission, causing them to pause and spend some time killing!

A figure stood at the peak of a tall mountain far away, observing this group of people hunting the Cloud Leopards. A scheming smile hung on his.

“The ten great sects styled themselves as righteous sects and prosecuted us. But my Heavenly Corpse Sect had always been lawful, even to the point of buying the corpses with large amounts of money or hunting Demonic Beasts ourselves. But in order to obtain our secret manual, these so-called righteous sects actually fabricated a crime to accuse us and banded together to destroy my Heavenly Corpse Sect!”

A foul and foreboding aura surged out of Tian Mozi’s body, turning into threads of silver which flowed about wildly behind him. In that moment, he looked like a Demon God!

A three-headed ape not even one meter tall stood behind him quietly. An intense sinister aura coiled around its body continuously.

“Since you wiped out my clan, I’ll collect a little bit of interest first. Three-Headed Fierce Ape, kill them all! Let them have a taste of the power of my Heavenly Corpse Sect!” Tian Mozi exclaimed as he raised his head to the sky and pointed at a random cultivator.

“Hou!”

A loud roar rang out, as though it wanted to tear the skies apart. A terrifying might burst out of the dwarfish body of the Three Headed Ferocious Ape. With a heavy stomp of its foot, the entire mountain peak collapsed, and huge cracks ran down the sides of the mountain!

Within five minutes, the Three-Headed Ferocious Ape returned to the side of Tian Mozi with wounds all over its body. One man and one corpse thus disappeared into the forest in search of their next target.

In a quiet ravine half a month later. A wide and clear river flowed down the nearby mountains, creating a deep pool.

The ravine was long; its two sides were filled with numerous lush trees which blocked out the sunlight.

Numerous rare and valuable spirit herbs swayed in the wind, and fist-sized dark-golden bees were flitting diligently among the flowers in search of pollen for their honey.

A crystalline fishing line had already landed here for over half an hour. At this time, it was only moving around the area slowly.

Bei Feng felt a great deal of conflicted feelings in that moment. Through his perception, he could see that there were at least a hundred stalks of spirit herbs here!

But as he controlled the rod and explored the place for one round, he could not help but smack his lips mutely. The varieties of spirit herbs and flowers were simply too many!

If it was only this, Bei Feng would not be so conflicted. But the grade of each stalk of spirit herb was definitely not low!

The fragrance and medicinal essence of each stalk of spirit herb was so strong that they seemed to have materialized, forming thin, tangible ribbons of mist which floated in the air. Some of these spirit herbs were even actively swallowing the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi! Every inhalation and exhalation would produce some visible foggy substance that was absorbed by the spirit herbs!

Bei Feng was on the verge of tears by now. Wasn’t this situation exactly what was meant by the term ‘entering a mountain of treasures only to return empty-handed’?!

To Bei Feng, this many spirit herbs was more than enough to raise his cultivation by several level!

There were already so many spirit herbs around him. In that case, the number of resources in this land must be astronomical in number!

Bei Feng probed around for half an hour, but he did not discover any danger. Through the limited vision around the hook, he did not even see a decent Demonic Beast!

“System, can we discuss a deal? Can I put one million experience points on credit first?”

Bei Feng felt like his skin had thickened significantly in recent days. Right now, he was even shameless enough to discuss terms so plainly with the System!

“Ding! Host’s deal will not be accepted.”

The System was even more blunt than Bei Feng. With one sentence, it instantly killed all his hopes.

Bei Feng felt his cheeks stiffening slightly. All this while, it was him who made things difficult for others with his straightforward manners and bad conversation skills. But this time, he was actually on the receiving end of it.

And this time, he was truly frustrated beyond belief. He could see the treasures around him, but was unable to bring them away. To him, every stalk of spirit herb he could not take away was him making a loss on his end!

Chapter 352: Yin Slaughtering Formation!

Bei Feng wanted to cry, but his eyes were dry. To watch all the treasures slip through his fingers was simply too terrible a feeling.

However, the amount of experience points he had right now did not even reach 10,000. It was simply to far apart from the one million that the System required!

After the incident the last time, the System had added some new rules. He needed to have one million experience points ready if he wanted to enter the Myriad Worlds again.

And one million experience points was enough to raise his Fisherman level to Grade 4. To Bei Feng, it was still unclear if something like that was a gain or a loss!

---

In the Azure Blue World, Tian Mozi had already stirred up a storm of blood and slaughter with the Three-Headed Ferocious Ape. The two-headed ape corpse was already powerful enough to defeat newly advanced fourth level cultivators!

Now that it had gained one more head, its power had risen greatly. Right now, the only creatures that could defeat it was probably only those few king level Demonic Beasts deep inside the secret realm.

At the bottom of a disorderly mountain valley, the desolate figure of a human could be seen standing unsteadily on the rocky ground. Wu Sheng Yi spat out a large mouthful of blood, and a gaping wound as large as a football remained on his chest. One could see through his chest from the hole, and he appeared exceptionally scary.

The corpse of an armadillo Demonic Beast laid by his feet. This Demonic Beast was only about two meter long, and its scales gleamed brightly like platinum under the sun.

This armadillo was incredibly strong, and was one of the few king level Demonic Beasts in the secret realm. Normally, ordinary third level Demonic Beasts would not be able to withstand a single strike from it!

Even if it was the top ten geniuses on the Heaven’s Chosen Roll, apart from Wu Sheng Yi, it was likely that none of them would be a match for this creature!

This Demonic Beast had completely unlocked all its potential in the third level of cultivation throughout the many years of evolution. It could be said to have shattered the limits of its kind, and its battle prowess was shocking!

However, it was still killed by Wu Sheng Yi. One had to admit that Wu Sheng Yi was really too strong!

“Not a bad opponent indeed! Haha, kill!”

Wu Sheng Yi was like a madman as he roared aloud, his voice traveling far across the land!

As for the ten great sects, the amount of casualties they had sustained thus far was enormous. The Three-Headed Ferocious Ape was simply too powerful. In just half a month, over a hundred thousand people had been killed or heavily injured!

Cultivators on the same level of cultivation as it were simply as weak as chickens in front of it. Even the battle formations made up of top-tier geniuses of the sects were broken apart by it with pure force!

The Three-Headed Ferocious Ape was a corpse which did not feel pain nor any fear. More importantly, its body was infused with large amounts of precious treasures and materials, making it sturdy to a terrifying degree!

Its strength had also far exceeded normal primary stage fourth level cultivators. With all these factors added together, the most perfect killing machine for this stage was born!

But when all geniuses from the Heaven’s Chosen Roll formed an alliance, it became Tian Mozi’s turn to be hunted down.

A thousand people descended from the sky and stepped on a steep cliff. The third ranked genius on the Heaven’s Chosen Roll stepped out and said, “Tian Mozi! Stop running and surrender!”

“Hmph, little rascal, if this old man was not injured, I could smack a few hundred thousand of thrash like you into meat paste with just a single slap!”

Tian Mozi cursed with a chilly voice. As expected, the moment the tiger went down to level land, it would be insulted by the street dogs!

“Your words are not wrong. When you were at your peak strength, us juniors would naturally not dare to stand in your way. But now…”

Fang Yan shook his head with a smirk, clearly not angered in the slightest.

“Fight!”

Tian Mozi roared with rage. The Three-Headed Ferocious Ape beside him also jumped out without hesitation, beating its chest aggressively.

“Bam!”

The Three-Headed Ferocious Ape stepped off a large boulder and, in an instant, numerous large cracks appeared on it before it burst apart magnificently!

The Three-Headed Ferocious Ape’s strongest qualities were its speed, strength, and defense! In other words, it was extremely well rounded!

It moved without too many superfluous movements, and every strike from it was filled with barbaric might. A gray energy gathered at its paws, forming a hundred meter wide paw imprint which slapped towards the thousand over people!

“Seeking death!’

Over half of the group consisted of geniuses from the Heaven’s Chosen Roll. After fighting Tian Mozi for so many days, their coordination had improved drastically.

At this moment, they did not panic as they roused the ling Qi in their body for a counterattack!

Countless streaks of all kinds of weapons rose into the air. In just an instant, the fierce paw attack was destroyed!

Without losing its momentum, the weapons continued flying straight towards Tian Mozi, attacking him from all sides and sealing off all his paths for exit!

“Yin Slaughtering Formation, arise!”

Tian Mozi showed no signs of panicking as he made a series of abstruse hand seals with both hands. Numerous wisps of inky black, baleful Yin Qi gathered in Tian Mozi’s palms.

“Arise!” Tian Mozi commanded lowly as he slammed his palms ruthlessly against the ground!

“Weng, weng!”

A light buzzing sound traveled through the air, into the ears of everyone. The crowd readied themselves and exploded with their strongest attacks, directing them at the ground around them!

Numerous black patterns seemed to have come alive as the ground 10 li around them started to shake. A moment later, it rumbled violently as huge cracks the size of arms spread out from the area!

Countless wisps of dark gray baleful Qi rose out from the ground, forming a dome-like shape that trapped the crowd within!

“One, extinguishing Yang! Two, extinguishing body! Three, extinguishing soul!”

Tian Mozi made a seal with both hands, sending runic marks towards various points of the formation. Numerous small black flags unfurled in the wind, like a bunch of soul summoning banners!

The moment Tian Mozi finished shouting the three sentences, the wisps of baleful Yin Qi morphed into numerous skeleton cavalry, charging at the group within the formation!

“A third of you, come with me to block the Yin Qi creatures! The rest of you, use your full strength to break this formation!” Fang Yan gave the command swiftly, not panicking at all!

All kinds of magical abilities in the shape of fire dragons and ice phoenixes burst forth from the cultivators’ hands, smashing towards the strange creatures formed from the baleful Yin Qi!

“Do you think that my formation is so easy to break? Naive! The one thousand over people here should be the geniuses among geniuses in the continent. If all of you were to die here together, even the ten great sects would feel the pain for a long time, right?”

Tian Mozi sneered coldly. Although this formation was only a weakened version and did not even have one percent of the strength of the original one, it was still not something this bunch of people could break out of!

This Yin Slaughtering Formation was the central defensive formation of the Heavenly Corpse Sect! It was capable of both attack and defense, perfectly complementing the two!

And right now, Tian Mozi had only laid down the attacking portion of the formation, triggering the baleful Yin Qi beneath the ground. As long as the Yin Qi and baleful Qi was not sapped dry, the formation would continue running!

This spot was also specially chosen by Mo Tianzi to be the final resting place for these geniuses!

Tian Mozi stood outside the formation, controlling it. The Three-Headed Ferocious Ape was also sent to hide inside the formation to kill as it wished!

The moment the baleful Yin Qi figures came into contact with a human, the battle situation would be presented clearly.

The baleful Yin Qi was intangible and without form. Some attacks were completely unable to do anything to the strange creatures created from it at all!

“AH!”

“Don’t come here!”

Large amounts of baleful Yin Qi surged towards the crowd. With a speed visible to the eyes, the people who were entangled by the baleful Yin Qi quickly lost their vitality, turning into dried corpses which seemed like they had been rotting for millions of years!

“Those who cultivate light, fire, and spirit attributed arts, come over immediately! Only these elements can repel the baleful Yin Qi!” Fang Yan hollered. The crowd moved quickly, immediately moving to block the front.

“Hou!”

Unfortunately, the Three-Headed Ferocious Ape was still within the formation. When it reached within one hundred meters of the crowd, it sent out a slap, killing a third of the cultivators who were standing at the front line!

Chapter 353: Darkness Descends

The geniuses who had barely managed to stabilize their footing were suddenly dealt a devastating blow, suffering immense casualties!

Tian Mozi laughed loudly with glee as he watched the juniors struggling so desperately. He was in an extremely good mood. In just another hour, he would not need to fear the ten great sects any longer. His long-awaited chance for revenge would also arrive soon!

“Boom!”

A gentle ripple arose beside Tian Mozi as a figure swathed in black robes suddenly appeared. The figure moved with a speed akin to lightning, sending a long sharp needle as wide as a hornet’s sting towards him. In an instant, the needle broke past Tian Mozi’s defense!

“Dammit!”

No matter how he guessed, Tian Mozi had not expected that someone would manage to sneak this close to him. But when he realized the danger, it was already too late for him to dodge. He could only direct a flying sword to block in front of him!

But unexpectedly, the incredibly sturdy flying sword was instantly pierced through by the opponent’s needle, stabbing directly through his heart!

“PU!”

As the needle passed through Tian Mozi’s chest, a thorny flower pattern instantly bloomed on his chest. The black robed figure grabbed the needle and pulled harshly, instantly tearing Tian Mozi’s heart into shreds!

“Drip, drip!”

Large droplets of crimson blood rolled off the bowl-sized wound on Tian Mozi’s, dripping loudly on the ground.

“Sky Yin Hand!”

Tian Mozi coughed out a mouthful of blood as an ash-white flame appeared on his hand. With a swift counterattack, he smacked a palm down onto the black robed figure who hadn’t managed to back off in time.

“Pu!”

Lan Qianmo had not expected Tian Mozi’s movements to be so quick. A layer of golden light appeared on his body as he faced the incoming palm. However, that layer of defense was instantly shattered by Tian Mozi!

Numerous grayish white patterns appeared on Lan Qianmo’s body, covering his entire body. The sight was extremely frightening.

“You should be the second-ranked genius on the Heaven’s Chosen Roll, Lan Qianmo, right? What an amazing concealment ability!”

Tian Mozi hurriedly swallowed a strange-smelling pill. As he did so, blood stopped flowing out of his chest. However, he still looked extremely wretched.

Tian Mozi had not expected that he would end up stumbling at the hands of a little brat.

“Go to hell!”

Tian Mozi ignored his injuries and forcibly attacked again. Although his heart had been ripped apart, he would not die. That was because part of his body had already been refined into a Demonic Corpse!

“Have you heard the melodious gushing sound of blood before?”

A sorrowful voice seemingly torn by love and longing appeared, causing Tian Mozi to pause in his footsteps. A figure with a sword in his hand could be seen walking over from afar.

Tian Mozi suddenly felt his temples throb as an intense sense of danger flooded over him!

The Three-Headed Ferocious Ape that was on a crazed killing spree also halted its attacks and ran back towards Tian Mozi with all its might!

“Who are you!?” Tian Mozi probed darkly. The fact that this person was in the secret realm with him meant that his cultivation was only at the third level. However, this person who was only at the third level of cultivation was actually able to make him feel such an intense level of danger!

“The dead have no need for answers.”

Wu Sheng Yi raised his head, revealing a row of pearly white teeth. Following that, he dashed towards Tian Mozi with shocking speed!

Tian Mozi was incredibly enraged. He did not show any mercy as numerous wisps of baleful Yin Qi gathered in his hands, transforming into thick, heavy chains. With a flick of his arm, the chains shot toward Wu Sheng Yi!

“Dang!”

A light sound rang out, and all the chains formed with Yin Qi were broken apart!

Countless red thread-like Qi danced in the air, gleaming with an indomitable sharpness!

“Chop!”

“Sky Yin Shield!”

Tian Mo Zi did not expect his opponent to move at such a quick speed, appearing in front of him instantaneously. A small banner appeared before him, flashing with black light. A barrier blinking with black and white radiance instantly appeared around him, wrapping Tian Mozi within it.

“Pop!”

Tian Mozi’s expression turned unsightly as a light popping sound rang out.

“How could this be!?”

This Sky Yin Shield could be said to be completely unbreakable among the third level. On top of that, he’d added his own treasures to fortify the barrier. However, it was actually broken apart so easily!

“Pu!”

At the most crucial moment, the Three-Headed Ferocious Ape finally appeared, blocking in front of Tian Mozi, forcefully intercepting the attack!

The sturdy Three-Headed Ferocious Ape was instantly cut into two pieces. The sharp attack continued unhindered, slashing down towards Tian Mozi!

“Explode!”

Ruthlessness flashed across Tian Mozi’s eyes as he threw a bunch of magical treasures out, detonating them!

The combined explosive might of the magical treasures created a powerful shock wave which surged towards Wu Sheng Yi!

Without any hesitation, Tian Mozi turned around and leaped off the cliff!

A devilish crimson lotus flashed through the sky behind him, its might sufficient to rival a fourth level cultivator’s self-detonation! However, this attack was soundlessly extinguished by Wu Sheng Yi with a slash of his sword!

Wu Sheng Yi did not even cast an eye at the geniuses still trapped within the formation. With a decisive move, he directly chased after Tian Mozi.

“I just need half an hour, I only need to endure for another half hour!”

Tian Mozi gritted his teeth as he ran. No matter what, he hadn’t expected that he would bump into such a perversely powerful character like Wu Sheng Yi! From what he can see, even fourth level cultivators would not be a match for Wu Sheng Yi!

“Sky Demon Body Disintegration!”

Tian Mozi was blocked by Wu Sheng Yi once again. As he looked at this young genius before him, even Tian Mozi began to show a rare trace of fear!

In an instant, all the wounds and injuries on Tian Mozi’s body closed up and began to heal. The aura around him began to rise, not losing out to Wu Sheng Yi’s!

This was a supreme forbidden technique of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. It could only be maintained for half an hour; once the duration of the technique was over, that person would turn into a complete cripple!

Tian Mozi wanted to make a gamble. He was betting that he had not calculated the timing wrongly. If the timing was accurate like he predicted, he would be completely fine.

The two quickly clashed and descended into a fierce battle. Numerous small mountains were blasted apart, and sword Qi flew everywhere. Countless towering trees were toppled and uprooted from the ground!

Tian Mozi who was using a forbidden technique could only fight to a draw with Wu Sheng Yi. This fact caused the unease in his heart to grow heavier and heavier.

‘It’s fine. It’s almost ready! Ten great sects, I will return for sure!’

Tian Mozi had been calculating the time carefully since the start. The pressure Wu Sheng Yi was exerting on him had become stronger as time passed. Numerous bloody wounds which would not close had appeared all over his body.

“The time’s almost up. Are you waiting for that thing?”

Wu Sheng Yi suddenly stopped and looked at Tian Mozi with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

“How did you know?!”

Tian Mozi exclaimed with disbelief. This was the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s greatest secret. How did the other party know about it!?

Wu Sheng Yi did not even look at Tian Mozi. His gaze was directed at the sun in the sky as he muttered, “It’s about time for everything to end. You are no longer useful to me as a whetstone.”

A huge shadow had appeared in the sky and from the ground—it seemed like the sun was casting a shadow.

Wu Sheng Yi’s 365 acupoints had lit up, as if there were 365 small suns in his body!

“Ten Thousand Stars Chop!”

The 365 acupoints on Wu Sheng Yi’s body began to tremble as a terrifying stellar energy flowed onto his blade!

The sword vibrated lightly, forming a sweet-sounding sword keen!

Ripples appeared around the sword as it vibrated even more intensely. In an instant, Wu Sheng Yi directed the sword and chopped down at Tian Mozi!

“Tzzz!”

The space seemed to have been rended apart by that sword strike. A thin black ray flashed through the sky.

“Block for me!” Tian Mozi shouted with all his might as he looked up at the sun in the sky. Over half of it was still not covered by the shadow.

At this time, Tian Mozi had also descended into a state of madness. 36 of his acupoints also lit up before extinguishing rapidly one by one.

A powerful force ran rampantly through Tian Mozi’s body. His entire body even grew taller by one fold!

“Pu!”

A light sound rang out, and Tian Mozi’s aura plummeted rapidly.

At this time, the sun’s radiance was finally swallowed completely.

Darkness has descended.

Chapter 354: Super Great Harvest!

It was not only the Ancient Spirit Secret Realm that had descended into darkness. Even the entire Azure Blue World had been swallowed by the shadow!

This kind of darkness was not what was known as a solar eclipse. Therefore, it did not leave any residual light.

This was a complete darkness. Even if one only used their spiritual sense, they could forget about seeing anything clearly. Only ninth level cultivators and above could remain unaffected.

A look of pure joy still hung on Tian Mozi’s face, but his body had already lost any signs of life. With a single chop of the sword, the entire upper portion of his head had been cleaved off, disappearing completely!

“He was a fine opponent. After exiting this place, it’ll be time to make my breakthrough to the fourth level. After that, I’ll return to Tianyuan Star,” Wu Sheng Yi mumbled to himself as he followed his senses and made his way back to Tian Mozi’s body in the dark. He was prepared to bring the corpse with him on the way out.

“Eh? How could it be gone!?”

Wu Sheng Yi’s complexion turned exceedingly ugly. He had begun to grow anxious, but at this moment, he could not see anything at all! Picking up his sword, he slashed outwards, sending numerous crescent-shaped sword Qi flying in all directions!

However, his surroundings were completely silent, without any movements. Even the originally noisy forest had turned quiet with the descent of the darkness.

“After waiting for so long, it’s about time to reap the harvest!”

Bei Feng smiled gleefully. He’d actually noticed those two people fighting near his fishing line a long time ago!

Those two were incredibly strong. At the very least, he estimated that with the power of those two people, either one could insta-kill him with absolute ease!

Bei Feng had refrained from making any movements all along. When he saw Tian Mozi taking out all kinds of magical treasures from his spatial ring continuously, he’d already set his eyes on him long ago.

Coincidentally, he saw Tian Mozi being killed right before the sky turned completely black. If not for the Fishing Rod’s strange ability, he would not be able to see anything himself.

How could he let go of such a god sent opportunity? In that moment, he did not hesitate any further and directly took action!

A mere minute passed before the sky brightened again. Wu Sheng Yi looked at the desolation around him with confusion, but there was no sign of Tian Mozi’s body.

“Pit, pat!”

A drop of blood fell from the sky, dripping directly down on Wu Sheng Yi’s head. Before it could touch his skin, the drop of blood rolled off a barrier of energy surrounding him.

Wu Sheng Yi’s face contorted with realization as raised his head and looked upwards!

A two-meter-wide black vortex could be seen in the sky, shrinking rapidly. Tian Mozi’s body was also disappearing slowly through the vortex, only leaving the last tiny portion.

“Ah!”

Wu Sheng Yi completely exploded with rage. To think that someone was actually so bold as to play tricks under his own nose!

“Pu!”

Wu Sheng Yi spat out a mouthful of blood and descended into a state equivalent to being a crazed devil. Without an outlet to vent his anger, he began to carry out a massacre in the secret realm. All his unhappy feelings were vented on the cultivators and Demonic Beasts that were inside the secret realm with him!

Bei Feng’s face was completely blank as he pulled Tian Mozi out of the well.

“Ding! 3 Star Treasure, peak eighth level cultivator’s corpse obtained! (Every part of this corpse is a huge supplementary treasure for cultivators of the demonic dao!) Experience gained: 3,000,000!”

“Ding! 2 Star Treasure, Spatial Ring obtained! (This spatial ring has a space of 3,000 cubic meters!) Experience gained: 1,700,000!”

“Ding! 1 Moon Cultivation Technique obtained, Primal Chaos Heavenly Demon Art! (Practitioner of this art can absorb the energy of the primordial chaos once every solar eclipse. After nine rounds of absorption, the technique will reach grand completion and one will gain a Primal Chaos Heavenly Demon Body!) Experience gained: 9,000,000!”

“Ding! 9 Star Treasure, Heavenly Corpse Manual obtained! (This manual contains the various methods of cultivating corpses as well as knowledge on all kinds of corpses, including which kinds of creatures are more suitable for refining which type of Demonic Corpses!) Experience gained: 5,000,000!”

“Ding…”

Bei Feng’s mind was flooded with an endless surge of System messages. Soon, he had completely lost track of how many times the System message rang out!

When everything ended, Bei Feng realized that he’d gained over 40 million experience points!

“Rich, I’m rich!”

Bei Feng’s face remained blank for a long while before he burst out with joy. His harvest this time was actually so plentiful!

“Looks like the experience points I missed out on during the past three years had all been recouped in one go!” Bei Feng murmured excitedly. 40 million experience points were definitely enough to raise his Fisherman grade to Grade 5—with quite a large amount remaining!

“So the level after 9 Stars is Moon? Looks like every level is separated into nine smaller sub-grades.”

Bei Feng stroked his chin with interest. The Star grade treasures were obviously much more valuable than normal graded items.

There were only a few items at Star grade and above this time. The rest of the stuff were all Grade 7 or Grade 8 items.

However, the quantity of those treasures was simply too high. Added together, they still amounted to a huge amount of experience points!

“System, what is the equivalent cultivation of a seventh level cultivator compared to Earth’s cultivators?” Bei Feng asked in his mind.

“Ding! Host’s grade is too low to obtain an answer. Host only needs to know that a single finger is enough for a seventh level cultivator to squish host to death countless times!” the System replied icily.

‘Che, acting all mysterious… isn’t it just trying to cheat me of my experience points and make me level up my fisherman grade quickly?’ Bei Feng grumbled internally.

The spatial ring on Tian Mozi’s finger turned into a dull golden color as soon as it was removed from him. Faint golden lines could be seen flitting across it.

Bei Feng drew his fingernail across his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto the spatial ring. With a move of his mental power, a mental imprint was left on the spatial ring.

Every item that was brought out of the well would have its imprint wiped away, regardless of who the original owner was.

Bei Feng was able to refine the spatial ring with ease due to this. Otherwise, even though Tian Mozi was already dead, the mental imprint he left within the spatial ring would be strong enough to rip Bei Feng’s mental power to shreds the moment it entered the spatial ring!

All the items within the spatial ring appeared vividly before his eyes as he inserted his perception into the wide space within. All kinds of resources and treasures were piled up messily into a small hill!

With but a simple thought, a box of spirit stones was retrieved from the ring.

This box was filled with middle grade spirit stones, each one with a worth of a Grade 6 treasure! The spirit stones were the size of chicken eggs, and were white like jade. A faint misty luster could be seen on their surface.

“So this is a spirit stone? The energy contained within it is incredibly dense!”

Bei Feng closed his eyes and probed the spirit stone in his hand.

Using his mental power, Bei Feng carefully guided the Ling Qi out of the spirit stone and into his body. A stream of rich Ling Qi immediately flowed into his veins, quickly being absorbed by his body!

“This is some truly good stuff! These spirit stones could be said to be something that I’m coincidentally in urgent need of. The Ling Qi it contains is also very gentle, and will not cause much harm to the human body!”

Bei Feng grinned widely as he felt the pure Ling Qi coursing through his body.

There were over 100,000 of these middle grade spirit stones in the ring, and over 10,000 high grade spirit stones! There were even three top grade spirit stones which could be classified to be around Grade 9 to 1 Star level treasures!

Bei Feng began to look through the rest of the items in the ring. However, the more he saw, the more disappointed he became. Most of the manuals and books were related to corpse refining, and the various materials and resources were also mainly for the purpose of refining corpses.

The things that were truly useful to Bei Feng were one in a thousand!

Only some of the pills, formation manuals, martial techniques and weapons had some use for him. As for spirit medicine, most of it were destroyed. The remaining portion had been transformed into seeds by the System.

“In any case, I’ve reaped a huge harvest this time. It’s better to raise my Fisherman grade to the fourth level first. Otherwise, I’ll be trouble if I bump into some strong opponents again,” Bei Feng decided after thinking about it for a short moment. The Grade 3 Fishing Gear was simply too flimsy. The line had already broken once, and the rod had suffered some damage previously as well. If he leveled up the System, the upgrade to the Fishing Gear should be quite significant!

Chapter 355: Majorly Scammed

Bei Feng entered a command and one million experience points were deducted from him in the blink of an eye. Following that, the System began its upgrade!

The Grade 3 Fusang Wood Fishing Rod shot back into his body to be remodeled with the System’s rise in grade.

The thin Heaven and Earth Ling Qi in the surroundings was quickly sucked towards Bei Feng and absorbed by the System!

The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi within a hundred li was all drained cleanly. Then, as if the System was not satisfied, the radius of its absorption grew abruptly, extending to cover an area of a thousand li!

Large amounts of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi were drawn in as though it was liquid and absorbed by the System!

Bei Feng closed his eyes and felt the large amounts of Ling Qi flowing through his body before disappearing abruptly. This time, there actually wasn’t even a tiny bit left behind for him!

The abnormal surge of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi was like a cloud of mist, shrouding the entire mountain!

The plants on the mountain began to grow with crazy speed, visible to the naked eye!

This phenomenon continued for half a day before disappearing gradually.

Apart from Bei Feng, Mystic Three and Mystic One were the ones who gained the greatest benefits from this phenomenon. Mystic One was originally already in the midst of her secluded cultivation, planning to make her breakthrough. All of a sudden, she felt the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi around her thicken by a ridiculous extent!

She had been prepared to undergo secluded cultivation for a long period of time. But unexpectedly, she managed to break through to the Xiantian realm in just an instant!

Mystic Three’s aura also grew continuously, only stopping at half-step Xiantian. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to assail the Xiantian realm in one shot. But regardless of whether it was his body or mental power, both were at their limits from absorbing too much Heaven and Earth Ling Qi in a single shot. If he continued and tried to make the breakthrough, his body would only end up exploding from cultivation deviation!

The Cerberus also made use of this opportunity to reach the peak of Xiatian primary stage! With the correct conditions, it could break through to the middle stage Xiantian realm at any time!

Bei Feng scrutinized the changes made to the System. Overall, it had not changed much.

The Fisherman Grade had been raised from Grade 3 to Grade 4. But not only had the number of days in between each fishing attempt not shrunk, it had been lengthened instead! Right now, he was only allowed to make one fishing attempt once a month!

The fishing rod had changed greatly in terms of appearance. It looked incredibly dazzling, like a shortened staff completely made of gold. Its name had also been changed to Golden Ebony Fishing Rod!

The amount of vision he was granted in the Myriad Worlds had grown to a range of 200 meters around the hook. This was definitely a useful utility upgrade which would allow Bei Feng to have a much easier time fishing!

Apart from that, there was also a reward. Bei Feng nearly choked on his saliva with shock at this. This scam-like system actually knew how to give out rewards?

“Ding! The System can help Host to refine an eighth level Heavenly Demonic Corpse. Refinement time will be 100 years, and the cost will be a mere 20 million experience points!”

Bei Feng read the System message carefully and scratched his chin with some uncertainty.

“System, this deal feels quite sketchy… the refinement cost seems a little too hefty?”

Bei Feng hesitated. 20 million experience points was enough to let him raise his Fisherman grade to Grade 5!

“With Host’s cultivation talent, it should be possible for you to reach the eight level of cultivation in another 10,000 years. Work hard! This System thinks highly of you!”

The emotionless voice of the System seemed to have changed a little. It sounded somewhat dry and sarcastic this time, containing a hint of anger within its tone. It seemed to have gained a higher level of intelligence as well.

“Pu!”

Bei Feng directly spat out the tea in his mouth as he listened to the sarcastic tone in the System’s voice.

“10,000 years?! How could it be so long!”

Bei Feng sputtered with disbelief. Who would have thought that it would take so much time to reach this “eighth level cultivation”!

“10,000 years is just an average estimate. In other words, it’s entirely possible to attain that realm before 10,000 years. Still, there’s also a possibility that it could take 20,000 years or more,” the System continued.

“Refine it then!”

Bei Feng gritted his teeth and spat. This was too much of a scam! The reason he was hesitant about refining the Heavenly Demonic Corpse was because he felt that 100 years was too long. Who knows, he might have surpassed that eighth level realm long ago before then and the corpse would be useless to him. But after hearing the System’s words, his pride instantly deflated like a balloon.

“Ding, preparing to initialize corpse refinement!”

Bei Feng could feel the spatial ring of the unlucky bastard open by itself as all kind of treasures flew out automatically and sunk into the corpse.

“Eh? Ehh?! Why are you using my materials!”

Bei Feng felt his throat turning more and more parched as he looked at the treasures flying out of the ring. That stuff was the fortune he’d accumulated with much hard work while risking his life!

“Ding! This System does not provide the materials.”

The System’s replies were extremely simple and straightforward.

But since his experience points had already been deducted, Bei Feng could only wrinkle his nose and accept the situation!

As he looked at the large amounts of spirit materials and treasures sinking into the corpse, Bei Feng felt as though someone was cutting off his flesh with a knife!

But as time passed, he slowly began to grow numb. Apart from some manuals and spirit stones, there wasn’t much stuff left in the spatial ring anymore.

Bei Feng wanted to cry aloud, but found that he had no tears. There had been too many spirit weapons of a higher grade than Soaring Rainbow in the ring. However, everything was gone before he could even raise an objection!

But what caused him to really spit out a mouthful of blood was when the numerous manuals were also drawn into the corpse!

“Are you serious? Why would those manuals and books be needed to refine the corpse?!”

Bei Feng’s expression turned exceedingly ugly to behold. This was definitely a scam! A huge scam!

The Primal Chaos Heavenly Demon Art and the Heavenly Corpse Manual were also included among those manuals!

“The quality of the items produced by the System are definitely the best. This System also does not recommend for Host to practice the corpse refinement body techniques. After practicing the Primal Chaos Heavenly Demon Body, one will lose all emotions, including towards one’s family and loved ones!

“The refined corpse will have unlimited potential, and any valuable stuff can can continue to be added into the corpse in the future.”

After being upgraded to Grade 4, the System seemed to have gained intelligence as it explained to Bei Feng casually.

Bei Feng opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, finally sucking in a breath of cold air. Although he felt extremely unconvinced tight now, he felt much better when he thought of how he’d gain a peak eighth level Heavenly Demonic Corpse bodyguard 100 years from now.

“A third of Host’s mental power and half of Host’s marrow and essence blood are required to tame the Heavenly Demonic Corpse. Extract?”

“Go ahead.”

Bei Feng nodded mutely. He’d already invested far too much to turn back now.

All of a sudden, Bei Feng felt a third of his mental power ripped away from him, and half of the essence blood in his bone marrow was drawn out!

The agony of having his mental power ripped apart caused him to scream loudly with agony. His entire face became as white as a sheet of paper in an instant!

This kind of pain which came from his soul was so unbearable that Bei Feng felt like his head was exploding. In the blink of an eye, his clothes were all drenched with sweat.

Shortly after, two balls of light appeared within Bei Feng’s body. One was red, with traces of gold within it. The other was pure and transparent, rippling gently.

Bei Feng took out a bottle of Tri-Clear Pills from the spatial ring and directly swallowed the whole bottle of pills. Only then did he feel somewhat better as he laid on the ground, gasping for breath in a wretched manner.

Half of his most valued essence blood had been drawn out, directly causing his cultivation to drop from Xiantian middle stage to Xiantian primary stage!

“It seems like the more I cultivate, the more my cultivation level regresses!”

Bei Feng looked at the sky with disbelief, his face constipated with pain.

“Host need not worry. This System is a professional and knows exactly how far to go and when to stop. Host’s foundations were not hurt at all, and you would only require a period of time to recuperate,” the System spoke up at this time, giving Bei Feng yet another blow.

Bei Feng did not have the mind to chat idly with the System at this point. He took out a spirit stone and began to circulate the Ling Qi through his body. He felt like his cultivation might drop further at this rate if he did not start circulating his Qi!

Chapter 356: Bai Xiang

Bei Feng held a middle grade spirit stone in his hand and inserted his mental power into it to guide the Ling Qi into his body.

Numerous wisps of pure Ling Qi was quickly absorbed by Bei Feng, nourishing his body.

As he circulated his blood and Qi, his bone marrow also started to produce more blood again.

But even after a spirit stone was reduced to dust, the amount of essence blood still had not recovered much.

“Looks like I’ll need at least half a month to recuperate this time,” Bei Feng muttered to himself. However, he did not feel too worried since his foundations had not suffered any irrecoverable damage.

The bottle of pills he’d swallowed earlier had also started to show its effects. Numerous wisps of warm Qi flowed through his sea of consciousness, wrapping his mental power in its embrace. Gradually, his mental power began to recover.

The yard was left with the dredges of the materials which had been refined into the Heavenly Demonic Corpse. A frigid Yin Qi lingered in the yard.

“Boom!”

A sinkhole just large enough to accommodate the Heavenly Demonic Corpse suddenly appeared under the corpse. The Heavenly Demonic Corpse fell into the sinkhole and quickly vanished from sight.

Bei Feng bent over and looked down the murky darkness with unfathomable depths. A thick Yin Qi surged from it, causing the entire sky to turn a grayish dark!

Within the yard, the plants which were covered by the grayish fog began to wilt with a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Rumble…”

The sinkhole closed swiftly soon after; the ground looked completely normal, as though the sinkhole had never existed there before.

“I guess I’ll only see it again 100 years from now… how lengthy!”

Bei Feng sighed. He was not even 30 years old after living for so long. But the time to refine the Heavenly Demonic Corpse actually required 100 years!

However, as he thought back to the Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse at Qing Ling Village, Bei Feng instantly felt a lot better.

That fellow was something that had been incubating for thousands of years! But compared to his Heavenly Demonic Corpse, that guy was not even fit to carry its shoes for it!

The Heavenly Demonic Corpse had been taken somewhere to unknown depth underground. Along the way, a divine dragon made out of pure Yin Qi appeared and swallowed the Heavenly Demonic Corpse into its stomach in one gulp. Nestled in the belly of the dragon, large amounts of pure Yin Qi began to seep into the corpse.

Back on the surface, Bei Feng briefly accounted for his remaining profits. There were a bunch of seeds, some pills, spirit stones, and ten or so third level Demonic Beast bodies. Apart from that, there was also the spatial ring.

He had over 20 million experience points to his name now. To Bei Feng, this was still a rather large fortune!

The Demonic Beast corpses were quite clearly something that had been prepared by Tian Mozi to refine into Demonic Corpses. However, he hadn’t had the chance to do anything with them before he was chased all over the place by his enemies.

These third level Demonic Beasts had extremely powerful bodies with plenty of blood and Qi in their veins. Bei Feng examined them and found that they were not any weaker than the Grade 9 Savage Beast meat in his hand!

In fact, it was even a bit stronger, though not to a point where the level of the meat had changed. From this, Bei Feng could guess that the third level of cultivation was roughly around Grade 9. Using the power grading system on Earth, this was equivalent to the realm above Controlled Dan!

It was impossible that nobody noticed such a huge commotion in the villa. However, not a single person came forward to ask Bei Feng about it.

Bei Feng did not have any intentions to give any sort of explanation as well. He directly went to take a bath and went back to his room to sleep.

As he slept, two beams of stellar light shone down on him, beaming directly onto his head and his chest area. The divine trees within his stellar acupoint were rustling noisily as they grew taller at an indistinct pace. The branches and leaves also grew larger grew slowly.

Early the next morning, Bei Feng awoke and cooked a large pot of third level Demonic Beast meat.

A sweet aroma drifted out of the kitchen, causing one to be intoxicated with its fragrance.

The entire pot was filled with a creamy white beast bone broth. A layer if redish-gold fat oil covered the top of the soup.

Without further hesitation, Bei Feng began to shove large mouthfuls of the soup into his mouth. The blood and Qi energy flowed into his body and was quickly absorbed.

With a flick of his hand, two middle grade spirit stones appeared.

Bei Feng started to practice his Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique. A suppressive pressure surged over from all directions, pressing down on him!

If one was capable of x-ray vision, they would see that Bei Feng’s internal organs were all crushed to the point where they became deformed!

The organs looked like they were about to be crushed into pieces at any moment, appearing exceptionally worrying!

Large amounts of blood and Qi flowed through Bei Feng’s body, with their focus being the internal organs.

The organs were the weakest parts of the human body. If he were even slightly careless, the organs would end up being crushed by this pressure. Thus, Bei Feng would always send large amounts of blood and Qi to protect his organs.

The pressurizing force was especially evenly distributed. In other words, every part of his body was subjected to the same amount of pressure, regardless of whether that part was inside or outside of his body!

Clear and pure Heaven and Earth Ling Qi was guided through his veins, causing those damaged vessels to begin repairing itself.

Numerous blood vessels were being cleared, causing Bei Feng’s strength to improve!

Bei Feng was at the peak middle stage Xiantian realm. However, his battle prowess had dropped greatly right now. Even if he used the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Art, he would still probably not be an opponent for Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts. At this moment, Bei Feng was undoubtedly much stronger than any Fake Dan experts on Earth. However, he was still somewhat weaker than Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts.

Ten days went by like this. Large amounts of Demonic Beast flesh, together with over a hundred spirit stones, were expended before Bei Feng managed to finally regain his middle stage Xiantian cultivation.

He was rapidly approaching the peak of middle stage Xiantian realm. With his current pace, it should be quite fast for him to return to the peak middle Xiantian realm!

---

In a desolate dessert far away, the air was dry and arid; the temperature in the shadeless land under the afternoon sun was high enough to shock one to death!

In the heart of the dessert, at the bottom of a huge ravine, there were countless minerals of various varieties which had formed naturally.

The mineral rocks were like an uncountable number of divine swords, gleaming sharply. Anyone walking within the area would feel a great sense of unease, as though numerous swords were pointing at them.

A human figure with indistinct features could be seen running rapidly through the area. The figure was tall, with a bulky frame. His entire body was shrouded by a thick layer of golden light.

“I’ve finally finished the training!” the stalwart man murmured with delight. Following that, the golden light around him trembled, turning into numerous sharp golden swords which shot outwards in all directions!

“Pu, pu!”

The incredibly sturdy mineral rocks were unable to block the golden swords at all. It was like a hot knife slicing through butter, easily piercing through the rocks and leaving countless tiny holes in them!

The man stepped out of the golden halo and scratched his head with a silly, honest smile on his face. “I guess that old man should no longer be my match now?”

This person was none other than Bai Xiang!

It had been over three years—nearing four—since he left. But apart from his height which had gotten even taller, he hadn’t changed much in terms of appearance. Bai Xiang looked like he had undergone another round of puberty, bringing his height to an impressive 2.4 meters!

As he thought back to the bitterness he’d suffered the past few years, Bai Xiang could feel his heart quivering with fear.

He could recall the many times he’d been thrown into all kinds of dangerous lands to fight for his survival against the local savage beasts. The most dangerous moment was the time he was left in the middle of the ocean to struggle against the waves and the sharks. He killed a total of 18 great white sharks and nearly lost his life!

After two whole years, his training finally neared its end. He traversed through the world’s largest desert, braving through ferocious sandstorms and all kinds of harsh situations before ultimately pulling through.

His training objective was to reach this ravine and train his Golden Geng Undying Body. It took him a year to finally reach grand completion in it!

Chapter 357: Assaulting The Xiantian Late Stage!

“That old man should have nothing else to say now right?”

Bai Xiang scratched the back of his head uncertainly. Throughout this period of time, he’d really suffered greatly in the hands of the old man.

This ravine was over 3000 meters below ground level and just happened to be situated right beside a small desert oasis.

Bai Xiang stomped heavily against the ground and his body immediately rose into the air. In the blink of an eye, he’d reached over 100, 200 meters!

“Earth Sword!”

The ravine was flanked by smooth, sheer cliffs over 500 meters tall and with no footholds. Bai Xiang gave a low roar and a large number of golden swords appeared behind him, looking like a peacock fanning out its tail!

A series of buzzing sounds rang out as the swords stabbed into the side of the cliffs with ease, forming a flight of stairs!

Bai Xiang shifted his body and stepped on a sword, propelling himself upward. Everywhere his feet landed, there would be a series of golden swords appearing under him.

“AHH!”

“I’ve finally come out!”

Numerous two meter long and three fingers wide swords soared out of the ravine behind Bai Xiang and disappeared into his back.

“Yi? So much confidence? Looks like your Golden Geng Undying Body has reached grand completion already.”

Just as Bai Xiang was rejoicing over his return to freedom, an aged voice drifted over from the top of a tall cactus nearby, sending chills down his spine.

“Old man, my Golden Geng Undying Body has already reached the grand completion stage. Y-you’re no longer a match for me now…”

The first half of Bai Xiang’s words were rather loud, but his voice fell into a whimper as he finished his sentence.

The one who had spoken earlier was a short old fellow, only about 1.5m tall. His head was full of jet-black hair and faint wrinkles lined his face, a sign of his age.

“Spar with this granddaddy then!”

A look of pride and relief flashed across the old man’s aged face. This child was like a disciple to him, and a grandson at the same time. The only problem with the kid was that he was a little too honest and trusting and his mind was a little too slow.

“Earth Sword!”

Seeing the old man act as soon as he finished with his words, Bai Xiang also jumped back in fright, instantly activating the Golden Geng Undying Body!

A thick layer of golden light appeared around Bai Xiang’s body. The golden light was so dazzling that Bai Xiang looked like a moving buddha statue. Numerous sharp swords appeared around him, streaking through the air to appear right before the old man!

“Not enough, it’s still not enough!”

There was no semblance of the weak and short image on the old man as soon as he started fighting. In fact, anyone under Controlled Dan would feel like they were facing a huge mountain if they were watching the old man’s movements!

“Dang! Dang!”

A series of clear sounds rang out, like the clanging church bells on an early morning.

Numerous incredibly sharp swords struck the old man’s body, instantly shattering inch by inch!

The corners of Bai Xiang’s mouth twitched uncontrollably as he saw this. How was he supposed to continue fighting? He couldn’t even break the other party’s defense!

“Earth Shaking Slaughtering Land!”

Bai Xiang directly used his strongest killing technique. A huge layer of golden mist formed in front of him, before directly appearing right in front of the old man!

The golden mist was incredibly realistic, surging endlessly!

“Boom!”

A huge explosion rang out, sending dust and sand flying in every direction!

The golden mist was like an entire piece of land, smashing down on the old man. As it descended and trapped the old man in its center, the huge landmass suddenly burst apart. The explosive force was all concentrated onto the old man’s body!

A sand cloud burst into the air, shrouding the entire area and causing everything to appear illusory.

“He was not smashed into the ground by me, was he?”

Bai Xiang scratched the back of his head and wondered.

“Bam!”

Before Bai Xiang could go over and check out the situation, a fist suddenly appeared beside him, smashing onto his head.

“Hur hur, you still have to train for a long time if you wish to defeat me, kid!”

The old man lightly blew away the dust on his fist as he chuckled loudly.

Bai Xiang stood to the side sulkily, rubbing his head. A huge swollen bruise had risen on his head, appearing exceptionally comical.

“Still, you can reluctantly be considered as having finished your apprenticeship.”

The old man rubbed his chin and smiled at Bai Xiang.

The old man almost suffered a blow from that last strike, which caused him quite a bit of surprise. Unexpectedly, although the kid was a little dim witted, he had a shockingly high comprehension of anything concerned with martial arts!

Luckily, he’d managed to react in time and block the strike. Despite that, he was still forced to erupt with his full power in that moment to block it. In the end, he’d expended too much strength, and even the ground below his feet felt light.

---

At this time, Bei Feng had finally managed to regain his peak middle stage Xiantian cultivation. His blood and Qi energy was like the roaring oceans, surging through his meridians.

Bei Feng did not stop circulating his blood and Qi. Instead, he prepared to begin assaulting the Xiantian late stage!

As he cultivated anew from Xiantian primary stage to the peak of Xiantian middle stage, while his overall blood and Qi had not grown more bountiful, his control over it had grown much more refined.

Large amounts of blood and Qi energy gathered into a huge wave, smashing against the barrier before his aperture!

Every time the wave hit, the barrier would tremble violently from the impact!

Bei Feng sat down cross-legged with a high grade spirit stone in each hand. With a constant supply of Ling Qi, his own blood and Qi energy was maintained at its peak level all throughout!

Even if his meridians received some damage from the large amounts of energy, they would be repaired very swiftly under the nourishment of Ling Qi.

Although Bei Feng was a pure body cultivator, it didn’t mean that spirit stones were useless for him.

In fact, the pure energy within the spirit stones could help his cultivation speed improve greatly!

Qi refining cultivators absorbed Heaven and Earth Ling Qi, turning it into a part of them, while body refining cultivators treated Heaven and Earth Ling Qi as a fuel to temper their bodies.

Although both methods resulted in an increase in power, the results were extremely different.

This siege on the barrier lasted from afternoon until the moon was high in the sky. The silvery rays of the moon shone down on the earth, covering everything in its warm glow.

Stellar energy from the Extreme Yin star cascaded down, automatically entering Bei Feng’s stellar acupoint, turning into fertilizer for his divine trees.

Bei Feng’s external aura grew dimmer and dimmer, finally disappearing completely. He seemed like an old monk in meditation, completely without emotion.

From the surface, it looked like he had failed to breach the bottleneck. However, huge changes were happening inside his body!

The blood and Qi energy in his dual apertures were shrinking and compacting continuously, waiting for a single earth-shaking moment to strike!

“Poof!”

The two high grade spirit stones had completely been sapped dry. With a light crushing sound, the two spirit stones burst apart into tiny particles of dust.

At this point, Bei Feng could already feel his body pulsing with pain. All the blood and Qi energy had already been compacted to their maximum capability.

“Hong long long!

If a dam was released, thousands of tons of water would rush forward with a deafening sound, blasting towards its destination!

“Badump, badump!”

Bei Feng’s powerful heard started to pound loudly like battle drums!

If anyone was standing beside Bei Feng at this moment, they would be able to hear his thumping heart!

It was hard to imagine how such a bountiful blood and Qi energy could exist in a human body. This alone was extremely shocking!

Bei Feng remained expressionless, not caring about the pain in his meridians. He was observing the changes to his body silently as though he was only an onlooker.

“Whoosh!”

The bountiful blood and Qi energy suddenly burst forth, charging with the force of countless war horses, smashing brutally against the barrier!

A series of soft sounds rang out brightly as numerous blood-diamond-colored Qi was evaporated. The blood and Qi energy backed up also grew continuously as it surged against the barrier relentlessly!

“Po!”

The incredibly sturdy barrier suddenly collapsed, turning into numerous motes of light which sunk into his meridians, following his blood and Qi to flow into the newly opened aperture!

A small vortex abruptly appeared on his right foot’s aperture point, as if a mini-sun had risen in his body!

Chapter 358: Nine Star Aligment!

The dazzling sun hung high in the sky, its rays beaming radiantly down on the earth. The sky was clear and blue, as though it had been washed clean with water.

Atop a small mountain, there was an old tree brimming with vitality, its crown rich with broad green leaves. Perhaps it was due to the high noon’s temperature, but the tree looked rather listless this afternoon.

Bei Feng sat cross-legged under the shade of the huge tree. A blood-red light shone from three spots on his body, casting an eerie crimson glow over the mountain peak, causing the place to seem like a spot in hell.

The three apertures on Bei Feng’s body were expanding and contracting in a rising and falling motion, responding to each other as though they were breathing.

Bei Feng opened his eyes. An intense keen light flashed past his pupils before they quickly returned to their calm.

“I’ve finally returned to the Xiantian late stage!” [1]

Bei Feng clenched his fists and felt the power surging through his veins. In that moment, he felt like he could shatter a mountain with a single strike!

Of course, that was merely an illusion. Although his strength was great, it was nowhere near the point where he could do that. But if it was a small hill, it was still possible for him to cause it to collapse if he used all his might!

Back at the villa, Bei Feng enjoyed a peaceful meal with Mystic Moon and the rest. He’d finally broken through to the Xiantian late stage today, so he had no desire to continue cultivating immediately again.

Early the next day, Mystic Three brought an invitation letter to Bei Feng.

“Boss, this invitation was sent by the northwestern Wang Clan.”

Mystic Three respectfully handed the invitation letter to Bei Feng and stood to the side.

“Alright, you may go.”

Bei Feng nodded and waved his hand dismissively as he picked up the invitation letter.

“Interesting. I recall that I still owe that little lass some favors?” Bei Feng muttered to himself. Since his cultivation had more or less stagnated for now, it was a good time to go out for a walk.

The invitation was for a month later, so he still had a lot of time.

Bei Feng inserted his perception into his spatial ring and searched for a moment. A moment later, he furrowed his brows and slapped his forehead before turning around and walking to the vault-like room and retrieving a small box from it.

Four dark golden pills lay in the middle of the small box. As he opened the box up, there was a strange illusory image of a dragon and a tiger prancing about. But upon closer inspection, the pills were still as they were—pills. There wasn’t any dragon or tiger at all.

“I’ve promised to return Wang Yuyan something equivalent to the value of a stalk of the Reishi King. I don’t have any spirit herbs similar to that right now, but these Dragon Tiger Pills should be more suitable for them.”

Bei Feng considered seriously for a moment as the Dragon Tiger Pills in his hand disappeared.

Although the box had only been opened for a short moment, a strong pill fragrance had already spread out. In a short moment, a huge dog with three heads suddenly charged in from the side with great momentum.

“Wu, wu!”

Insatiable and Black Hole whined and stuck their tongues out cutely as they poked their heads past the door and looked at Bei Feng.

“Your noses are indeed sensitive. However, this isn’t anything nice to eat… Alright, you can eat this.”

Bei Feng shook his head helplessly. Insatiable and Black Hole were still as innocent as before. Whenever they smelt something good, they would come running with their tails wagging excitedly.

Bei Feng did not use much strength, lightly pushing Insatiable and Black Hole’s head back out of the door.

Seeing the two fellows pushing their heads back in shortly after again, Bei Feng sighed with exasperation as he took out a piece of meat the size of a fist from his spatial ring. After slicing it into three even pieces, he placed it before the Cerberus.

“Woof, woof!”

Insatiable and Black Hole wolfed down the meat excitedly, letting out light whimpering sounds as though they had not eaten enough, while Indigestion simply looked at them mutely.

Bei Feng laughed loudly and lightly rapped the two fellows on the forehead.

“Be careful not to stuff yourself to death!”

Bei Feng shook his head. Why wouldn’t those two idiots look at their big brother Indigestion? Didn’t they see that fellow remaining silent? They already had to endure the large amounts of energy from the piece of meat. If they still ate some more, it would be a wonder if they weren’t stuffed to death!

“Alright, roll to the side. You’re so fat already and you still want to eat!”

Bei Feng shook his head speechlessly as he watched the Cerberus running lightly to the yard and capering about playfully.

Seeing the scratches on the ground left by the claws of the huge beast, Bei Feng could not help but beat his chest with a bitter smile on his face. That fellow’s size had become larger and larger and just its height alone had reached four meters. Its body was also over eight meters long!

By his estimation, if the Cerberus advanced by another grade, its body would grow even larger. At that time, he would probably have to let them stay outside of the villa. This place was definitely unable to withstand the destructive might of that huge fellow!

Bei Feng led an extremely leisurely life during this period of time. When he had nothing to do, he would cultivate a little and practice his martial techniques. Apart from that, he would accompany Mystic Moon and plant peach trees with her on the mountain.

Numerous tiny peach trees were planted personally by Bei Feng and Mystic Moon with the hopes of turning the entire mountain into a sea of peach blossoms.

Throughout the entire process, they behaved exactly like regular people, using a shovel to dig a hole and planting the seedlings in manually.

Bei Feng carried a water bucket in his hands and watered each seedling carefully.

“Yue’er, why don’t we directly plant the mature peach trees? That way, we’ll already be able to see the sea of peach blossoms next year. I don’t even know how many years it would take for these little seedlings to reach maturity!” Bei Feng asked with some confusion.

The two of them behaved like a pair of newly wed couple, doing everything together in this period of time. Bei Feng had gotten so comfortable with Mystic Moon that even his form of address for her had changed.

Mystic Moon snuggled deeper into Bei Feng’s embrace and said with a cheeky light smile, “For people like us, is there any difference between one year and a few years? Our lifespans are much longer than the average people’s anyway. In any case, it’s a really enjoyable thing to watch these peach trees grow taller slowly everyday until their peach blossoms cover the entire mountain!”

Bei Feng nodded his head suavely in response. With their talent and his resources, they would definitely be able to cultivate to a realm that was unimaginable to the people of this world if given enough time. A few years was perhaps really not worth much.

For some reason, Bei Feng kept having a bad feeling recently as if something was going to happen. He committed the feeling to his heart and raised his alertness. This kind of feeling was a type of sixth sense, and Bei Feng trusted his intuition.

Bei Feng had been spreading his mental power to cover a vast area of 120 meters around him for the past few days, but nothing special had happened. Still, he could feel that the repressive feeling of a coming storm was becoming heavier and heavier!

All of a sudden, Bei Feng felt his vision darkening. Lifting his head to the sky, he saw a dark shadow creeping over the sun!

The black shadow was very fast and in just a few seconds, it’d occupied the entire sun!

Suddenly, he recalled the news he’d seen on the TV a month ago. This was the once a millennia solar eclipse predicted by astronomers!

But what these experts did not know was that nine stars had lined up together this time!

And these nine stars were all Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin stars! And the mass of each of those star was much greater than the Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin stars on Earth’s solar system!

The nine stars shone their rays at each other before their rays converged like a magnifying glass, reflecting onto Earth!

The sky completely turned black, and the strange feeling in Bei Feng’s heart intensified drastically!

Something was wrong; Mystic Moon’s body was suddenly trembling violently!

“Yue’er, what’s wrong with you?!”

Mystic Moon’s head remained lowered towards the ground, as though she could not hear Bei Feng’s words.

“This is?!”

Numerous black patterns had extended from Mystic Moon’s shoulders all the way down to her pale hands.

“Ha… HA-HA!”

Mystic Moon suddenly gave a deep laugh, her voice growing louder and louder until it spreaded through the entire mountain peak!

“Peng!”

A devilish looking black peach blossom suddenly blossomed on Mystic Moon’s back. Along with its appearance, countless pure, black silky pollen-like stuff which seemed to have originated from the source of evil burst into the air, spreading through the area around the black peach blossom!

Chapter 359: Enormous Changes!

Of all the scenarios he’d envisioned, Bei Feng had not expected something like this to happen! In that moment, he finally understood the reason behind his unease!

“Yue’er! Wake up!”

Bei Feng roared anxiously, his voice reverberating through the mountain like thunder!

Mystic One and the rest dashed out of the villa and the first thing they saw was this scene.

“Boss!”

“Don’t come over!”

Mystic One and the rest were just about to rush over when Bei Feng stopped them.

Mystic Moon’s aura was growing stronger unceasingly as if there was no upper limit to her body!

Even Bei Feng could feel a suppressive pressure radiating from her. The Mystic Moon at this time was even stronger than him!

Two powerful auras appeared in the sky above them as two huge beams of murky light shot down from the sky!

One of the light beam was over a thousand zhang thick, and while the other one was smaller, it was also several tens of zhang thick!

The thicker beam of chaotic light landed on the mountain peak. Within the murky chaos, there were numerous lines of black light hidden within. The black light seemed as if it could absorb sunlight itself!

Everyone was wrapped in this huge pillar of light. At the same time, the smaller pillar of light landed solely on Mystic Moon’s body!

Sitting at an unknown depth underground, the black dragon made out of Yin Qi with the Heavenly Demonic Corpse also opened its eyes. A beam of chaotic light penetrated through the numerous layers of rock and mud, shining on the dragon’s body!

Numerous wisps of incomparably pure energy flowed into the Heavenly Demonic Corpse’s body, causing its aura to surge rapidly!

Even the huge Yin dragon also seemed to have felt the benefits of the beam of light as it opened its mouth wide and swallowed voraciously.

Back on the ground, the stream of chaotic Qi continued to flood into Mystic Moon’s body, causing her aura to grow stronger and stronger!

“Hehehe, hahahaha!”

A series of eerie laughter rang out, causing everyone to feel a deep chill in their bones.

A huge branch pattern had appeared from the black peach blossom on Mystic Moon’s back. As the chaotic Qi continued to be absorbed into her body, the number of branches grew more plentiful as well!

Expert astronomers from every country had begun to appear, imparting their knowledge and interesting facts about the solar eclipse to the public. Countless people also went out of their houses and looked up with interest at this rare sight that would only appear once every few centuries.

But half an hour later, the excitement of the masses started to turn to panic.

“Yi? What’s going on? Didn’t they say that this phenomenon would pass in at most a few minutes? How come the sky hasn’t brightened even after half an hour?”

“That’s right! Are there any experts who can come out and explain this?”

“My god! The sun wouldn’t have just disappeared like that right?”

“I’m not well educated, so please don’t lie to me. It can’t be that a solar eclipse that only appears once several centuries would last so long?!”

Countless people all over the world were discussing this strange phenomenon with shock. Large amounts of threads flooded the various forums online, and many experts had also appeared to give their opinions on the matter.

But an hour later, the masses had begun to lose their wits and society was on the verge of a major public panic! Large amounts of people flooded into the supermarkets, snatching up life-saving necessities like candles, food, and water in great amounts!

Bei Feng was completely petrified. Mystic Moon had only given him a glance, but his entire body seemed to have been hit with a freezing spell.

At the same time, the black light within the chaotic light beam began to burrow into Bei Feng’s body. Even Mystic One and Mystic Three who were at the side was unable to avoid the light beam!

The Cerberus was the only one that managed to escape in time. As soon as the strange phenomena began, it had already scampered to the back of the mountain!

The little fox stood still on the spot with a silly look on its face. Any black energy that neared it was automatically repelled from it without it needing to do anything!

In a short amount of time, Mystic One and Mystic Three were writhing on the ground, screaming miserably. In just a few short minutes, the black light could no longer enter their bodies. It was like their bodies had already reached their maximum capacity to store the black energy!

Having lost its target, the black energy turned around and pounced towards Bei Feng’s body as though it possessed intelligence!

Bei Feng’s body was like a bottomless hole. All the black energy that entered his body was led to his abdomen. Gradually, when the amount became too much, they began to be compressed together!

Numerous drops of black liquid had formed in Bei Feng’s abdomen, turning into a pitch-black ocean!

Mystic Moon’s changes were even more shocking. An archaic peach tree which looked incomparably thick and tough had appeared on her back, its height reaching over a thousand zhang!

The bark of the peach tree was like the scales on a dragon, extremely sharp and full of layered cracks!

This peach tree did not look any different from a regular peach tree—except for the color of its flowers! The peach blossoms on this tree was all black, and at a glance, it looked extremely devilish and evil!

---

Vatican City, a tiny city state with an area the size of only a few dozens of football fields.

Although it was small, the people who came here daily on a pilgrimage were uncountable. The entire city was constantly wrapped in the tranquil sounds of scripture reading and singing.

Within the church, the over 300 years old pope raised his head and casted his gaze towards the East.

“A great devil has been born in the East!”

The pope tightened his grip around his papal staff and sighed heavily after a long time.

The present Vatican was not the same as the Vatican of the past. Although their foundations were deep enough to scare others to death, those were all their trump cards and could not be used lightly!

“These are troubling times!”

---

Atop a tall mountain in the Tibetan wilderness, an aged Lama was banging a huge bronze bell when he suddenly sensed something. Lost in his shock, the old Lama released too much strength and the entire bronze bell shattered into multiple pieces.

Similar incidences were happening all over the world. As long as one had reached the realm of Controlled Dan, they could all detect the same thing.

Bei Feng’s white hair flew wildly behind him. His hair was so white that it caused others to narrow their eyes with shock! There was only the purest white in his hair, it did not contain a single tinge of any other colors!

A series of blood-red lines flashed past Bei Feng’s pupils, looking extremely frightful.

A boundless pitch black ocean had appeared beside his dantian, billowing with huge waves!

Unknowingly, a small vortex had appeared in his dantian, slowly growing larger and larger. Finally, it grew so large that all the black liquid were sucked upwards by it!

A huge black tornado spun with reckless speed in his dantian, and the black drops of liquid continuously splashed against the barrier around his dantian!

Bei Feng’s dantian began to expand with a speed visible to the naked eye. Very quickly, it grew so big that it was impossible to see its boundaries!

“Boom!”

The center of Bei Feng’s dantian shook violently before an explosion suddenly rang out!

“Pu!”

Bei Feng spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood was a deep dark red, and wisps of black fumes rose from it. All the plants 10 meters around him died instantly from it!

The explosion in his dantian had caused Bei Feng a bit of light injury. But as he was a body cultivator, the damage to his dantian would not affect his strength at all!

A thumb-sized black pearl now sat in place of where his dantian was previously. A thick baleful Yin Qi lingered in the air. Without him needing to do anything, the sinister Qi was all absorbed into the little black dantian!

At this time, the Nine Stars Alignment had also reached its end. An incomparably huge Extreme Yang Star shook violently, suddenly bursting apart from the pressure!

As soon as the balance between the nine stars was broken, the other eight stars began to revolve gently as well and before they resumed their orbiting path.

A hint of sunlight burst out of the sky, causing the masses to run out into the streets to celebrate!

The chaotic light beam had disappeared completely. Mystic Moon was emanating an intense ice cold demeanor as she glanced at Bei Feng. Then, all of sudden, the huge peach tree behind her shook violently!

“Si la!”

A spatial rend suddenly appeared in the sky. The crown of the huge tree also began to squeeze itself past it!

Bei Feng struggled to keep his eyes open. Everything looked red and hazy before him, but he still managed to spot the huge peach tree manifestation disappearing. But disappearing along with it was Mystic Moon as well!

Chapter 360: Primordial Chaos Qi, The Source Of Evil

The strange phenomenon had not caused much damage to the society, only adding an interesting conversation topic for people to discuss at the dinner table at the most.

A solar eclipse that lasted an entire hour… not to mention seeing one, nobody had even heard of such a thing in the past! But now, it’d actually happened right before the eyes of the masses!

Quite a number of people had witnessed the strange sights on Bei Feng’s mountain as well. The moment the sky brightened again, as long as one was not blind, it was impossible to miss the thousand zhang tall peach tree which had appeared momentarily!

“What’s going on? I think I just saw a thousand zhang tall tree just now!”

“Your eyes did not deceive you. I saw it too! It was over there, on that mountain!”

“That’s too scary! Let the security guards go over and check out that place!”

Everyone was discussing fervently. With something as strange as this happening nearby to them, nobody could set their hearts at ease.

“Captain, what should we do?”

Tens of people were gathered together, anxiously surrounding their captain. Although everyone were retired elite soldiers, they were still human and would naturally feel frightened by this sort of paranormal stuff.

“Bring up two small teams with you. We’re going over to take a look.”

After a short moment of silence, Tang Weiguo gave the order.

Every resident in the Blue Spirit Mountain villa range was extremely wealthy. The property management fee they took every year came to a huge amount. Now that something like this happened, they had to at least bring some people to investigate the matter so as to set the minds of the residents at ease.

Ten people stepped forward and followed behind Tang Weiguo as they moved towards Bei Feng’s villa.

---

At this time, Mystic One and Mystic Three had woken up. Numerous black patterns had appeared on their bodies, flickering between reality and illusion. An evil aura that was hard to describe with words radiated from the black patterns.

Bei Feng stood to his feet and looked up at the sky without saying a word.

“No matter where you are, I will definitely find you!” Bei Feng finally opened his mouth and declared after a long time as he gazed at the spot that Mystic Moon had disappeared.

“System, come out! Why did something like this happen? And why didn’t you inform me beforehand!” Bei Feng hollered angrily as a tyrannical aura surged through his heart.

“What the hell was that black energy!”

Bei Feng continued questioning internally.

Unfortunately, the System did not seem to have any intention to explain anything. There wasn’t a slightest bit of response from it at all!

“The two chaotic beams of light were obviously drawn by the Heavenly Demonic Corpse and Mystic Moon. However, the black energy actually ended up entering mine and Mystic One and the rest’s body. The reason the Primal Chaos Heavenly Demon Art was added into Heavenly Demonic Corpse was so that the Heavenly Demonic Corpse could absorb the Primordial Chaos Qi, wasn’t it? Then why wasn’t I warned beforehand to escape the area? Shouldn’t I be given an explanation?”

Bei Feng calmed himself down forcefully. With regards to Mystic Moon’s departure, there was indeed nothing he could do to stop it even if he had the information beforehand. However, he actually somehow wounded up with a black pearl in his body. Something must have happened!

The black energy in the primordial chaos light beam contained an intense evil intent. It was not the kind of evil that stemmed from greed, murder, or hate. This was a much higher level of evilness, as if it was the source of all evil!

“Damn it! Damn it!”

Seeing that the System was remaining silent for a long time, Bei Feng burst out in rage, his blood and Qi energy surging to the skies!

“Boom!”

Everyone only felt the world before their eyes shake as if they had entered a new world!

A dark-red blood and Qi energy surged upwards, enveloping an area of several hundred meters!

“Giant Bear Strike!”

“Sky Piercing Eagle!”

Bei Feng’s eyes had turned completely black, like two black holes that wished to devour everything!

Numerous powerful attacks were launched by Bei Feng, dissipating the clouds above him!

“Eagle Bear Strike!”

“Boom!”

Bei Feng’s attacks were like numerous guided missiles, each one carrying a shocking destructive might! Bear and eagle strikes intertwined together, instantly decimating the mountain peak of a small mountain several hundred meters away!

Large rocks and boulders tumbled down the mountain unceasingly. Fortunately, there were no villas constructed on those small mountains near Bei Feng’s villa. Otherwise, such a level of destruction would definitely not leave any survivors!

A long time later, Bei Feng finally stopped. Numerous black lines had formed on his face. It was only a few lines, but it gave him a much more sinister look.

“Mystic One, Mystic Three!” Bei Feng called out without even turning his head.

“Your subordinates are here!”

Mystic One and Mystic Three had also been infected by the black energy. Their eyes and hair were as red as blood and a violent aura of destruction constantly surged through their hearts!

“All of you have one day’s time. No matter what method you use, I want everybody on Blue Spirit Mountain villa estate to leave! If you can use money to settle the issue, use money. If money doesn’t work, use might! You have my permission to kill without mercy!

Bei Feng’s voice was emotionless, causing a chill to run the spines of anyone who heard it.

“As you bid!”

Mystic One and Mystic Three exchanged a glance before each revealing a sinister smile. After that, their figures disappeared.

Bei Feng reached the mountain peak in just a few steps. He sat down cross-legged and began to inspect the changes to his own body.

The 5 star mental power was incomparably vast. Although it was not enough to affect reality, it should already be the strongest among the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts in this world!

The powerful mental power wrapped around his body in an instant, quickly displaying an image of his body to his brain!

Numerous hair thin black lines had appeared all over his body. It was impossible to determine how many there was!

They formed a huge, intricate web-like pattern with the thumb-sized black pearl near his dantian as its heart.

This little pearl contained a massive strength. Although it was small, this pearl was condensed by an unimaginable amount of black liquid!

Bei Feng used his mental power and carefully approached the black pearl. However, there was actually no response, as if the black pearl did not exist!

“This pearl is like a curse, but I don’t have any ways to control it right now,” Bei Feng mumbled to himself. This pearl was radiating a faint aura constantly, slowly influencing his mind and mental state!

If he allowed it to do as it wished, he would eventually fall under its spell!

Right now, his mental power was still able to suppress this energy. However, the pearl was actually starting to grow as well by feeding on the negative emotions of others near it. When his mental power was unable to keep up with this black pearl’s growth, he would be transformed by it!

‘This aura is filled with destructiveness and violence. After its power mixed in with my own aura, the power of my body has risen by a full one-third!’ Bei Feng calmed his heart down and evaluated his own destructive abilities from a moment ago.

His blood and Qi energy had originally grown much stronger after breaking through to the Xiantian late stage. When he was at the peak of middle stage Xiantian realm, he could defeat Jian Shen, but would not be able to kill the latter. Now that he’d broken through to the Xiantian late stage, he had a 60% confidence of killing that old man if they fought again!

Right now, that number would rise to 80%, with the last 20% being both sides losing while suffering great injuries!

“This aura is akin to boiling a frog in lukewarm water, unknowingly affecting me. However, the benefit of harboring it is also very obvious. This energy cannot be left unchecked. But assuming that I do not destroy or remove it, how do I gain control over its power without being affected by it?” Bei Feng murmured to himself.

To him, there was no such thing as good energy and evil energy when it came to cultivation. Even the most righteous martial arts could be used for evil if it was wielded by an evil person. Similarly, the most sinister martial arts could be used for good if it was in the hands of the benevolent!

Chapter 361: Taking Over Blue Spirit Mountain!

What Bei Feng wanted to do was to command this power as his own, not be controlled by it!

But right now, he didn’t have any other choice. This strange power had melded with him so deeply that it was like he had been born with it. Unless he died, it was impossible for him to separate it from him with his current strength.

‘This power has a really strong ability to bewitch the human mind! Mystic One and Mystic Three only absorbed a little of it, and their aura had changed greatly as though they’d been possessed! Even their mental power is filled with a tyrannical and domineering aura. If not for my Book of Spiritual Contract controlling the two, the two of them would probably have rebelled directly!’

Bei Feng thought back to the strange states of Mystic One and Mystic Three earlier, and furrowed his brows.

But despite him managing to see that Mystic One and Mystic Three were behaving weirdly, he had failed to detect that there was something strange with his own behavior! That was the most frightening part!

Bei Feng cleared his mind and calmed his Qi as he proceeded to scan his body with his perception inch by inch. The source of evil energy had infiltrated every part of his body, not even sparing his stellar acupoints! The Fusang Wood Divine Tree and the Evergreen Laurel Tree had also been dyed completely black!

Stellar energy from the heavens continued flowing unceasingly into the stellar acupoints and absorbed by the two divine trees. At this moment, the trees no longer had any resemblance to divine trees. Instead, they looked more like devil trees!

Mystic One and Mystic Three’s strength had risen greatly. Although their cultivation levels had not changed, their battle prowess had risen by more than one time!

Bei Feng’s foundations were incomparably deep and stable, allowing him to contend against and even slay Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts with his strength as a late stage Xiantian Lord. Under such circumstances, the evil source energy still managed to raise his strength by a full 30%!

Mystic One had only recently broken through to the Xiantian realm and had just stabilized her foundations. Mystic Three was only at the half step Xiantian realm. After being tainted by the evil source energy, although they had only absorbed very little of it, their battle prowess had actually increased twofold!

By the time Mystic One and Mystic Three reached the mountain’s waist, a group of people was also on the way up, and their paths intersected.

“Hello, we are the security team of the Blue Spirit Mountain villas. We have received reports that something strange had appeared on the mountain which your villa is located on. We would like to go up to understand the situation better.”

Tang Weiguo’s tone was exceptionally polite. However, he could feel that the two person’s eyes were exceptionally creepy, as though there were no human emotions in them. The way they looked at them was as if they were looking at a group of dead people!

The numerous security veterans at the back also raised their guards secretly as a sense of shock rose in their hearts.

As retired military elites, they knew the meaning behind this kind of gaze all too well. None of the people who possessed this kind of eyes was not someone that had not gone numb from killing. It was because these people had simply killed too many people, to a point where they were no longer affected by anything in the world.

A queer smile hung on Mystic One’s face as she flashed a row of neat white teeth and said, “Right ahead of you is where my boss lives. If you guys dare to take another step forward, all of you will die!”

Mystic Three stood behind Mystic One and added with a bone chilling tone, “Apart from that, the entire Blue Spirit Mountain villa estate will belong to our boss from today onward. All the residents must move out by today!”

Those that heard his words could not help but to shiver involuntarily.

Tang Weiguo furrowed his brows deeply and replied, “Sir and Miss, all the residents in Blue Spirit Mountain villa estate are incredibly wealthy. There’s no way they will move out, and it’s the same even if you give them money!”

Was this a joke? Even if you had enough money to buy over the entire estate, others might not fancy it!

“Hehe, don’t worry, they will definitely move out. Oh, and remember, do not try to cross this line or people are going to die!”

Although Mystic One was talking with a casual smile, none of the others could hear any emotion in her voice at all.

Mystic One and Mystic Three both stepped out lightly with only the tip of their feet pushing off the ground. In an instant, they had dashed past the group of retired elite soldiers, appearing far away. With a few more steps, the two had already disappeared from Tang Weiguo’s view!

“Captain?”

“Those two are actually martial practitioners!”

“How strong! I think they’re even stronger than the sergeant!”

“Then do we still go up?”

These people were all retired elite soldiers, so they were naturally not as ignorant about the martial world as normal people.

The drill sergeant for the group was in fact a martial practitioner. His speed was fast beyond belief, and a punch from him could shatter a 2-meter-tall rock!

But at this moment, everyone felt that the immensely powerful drill sergeant in their hearts could not even be compared to the two people they just saw! In that case, how much more powerful was that “boss” they mentioned?!

Tang Weiguo fell silent for a moment before making his decision. “Let’s go back to wait and observe! People like them are not opponents we can handle. But those residents are not simple people, either! Their connections are very powerful people. This is definitely not a fight we can involve ourselves in. Otherwise, we won’t even know how we died!”

As he turned around to look at the path leading up the mountain, Tang Weiguo could not help but feel a cold shiver run down his spine. Although it was the middle of the day and the sun was blazing high in the sky, Tang Weiguo felt that the entire peak was shrouded in darkness!

Bei Feng was sitting in his rock pavilion, pouring himself some tea. He did not bother himself with Mystic One and Mystic Three’s actions. He only cared about the results, nothing else.

“Tea from one’s hometown is still the best!”

Bei Feng sipped lightly on his cup of tea, fully savoring the bitterness on his tongue.

With his current identity, it was not even a problem for him to obtain some tea leaves from the famous Da Hong Pao parent trees on Mount Wuyi. However, he just loved the bitter and coarse wild mountain tea leaves from Mt Qing Ling.

This was not the kind of bitterness with a sweet aftertaste. Instead, it was just a plain bitterness with very faint tea fragrance. 99% of people would not like it at all.

But to Bei Feng, he was relishing it with every sip as though he was drinking some heavenly tea.

Whenever he thought of Mystic Moon’s smile and her voice, Bei Feng would fall silent with longing. At the same time, the dark patterns at the corners of his eyes would gleam ever so slightly with a gloomy light.

“Meep, meep!”

The little fox did not know what had happened at all. With a few steps, it jumped onto Bei Feng’s shoulders and rubbed its furry head against his face.

“Be good. Go and play at the side, I want to be quiet and alone for a moment.”

Bei Feng had a gentle smile on his face as he stroked the little fox’s silky fur tenderly.

But although he was doing such a peaceful action, a faint impulse was tugging at his heart, causing him to suddenly feel like destroying everything before him!

“Meep!”

The little fox’s fur instantly bristled and stood on its ends, like a cat with its tail stepped on! It could not understand how this person before him could suddenly change into a different person in a heartbeat!

However, the little fox did not try to escape. Instead, it jumped about on his shoulders in an extremely concerned manner, using its little claws to scratch at his face as if asking where he was feeling unwell.

Seeing this, Bei Feng forced himself to calm down as he spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

After that, he laid down on the ground and looked up at the sun silently. The little fox also curled up and laid down beside him.

From time to time, it would turn over to look at Bei Feng with concern before falling asleep again with a light snore.

Bei Feng raised his hand nonchalantly and drew it across the sky. As he did so, a black line appeared in the sky, emanating a strange buzzing sound, as if the air itself was being corroded.

In the garden below, large patches of flowers were vying with each other to bloom more resplendently. As the Primordial Chaos Qi permeated through the air, they seemed to be going through some kind of mutation.

The trees on the mountain had grown into a forest, and the vines hanging off them were as thick as a grown man’s thighs, causing one to feel like they had stepped into a prehistoric jungle!

“This power could be used like a martial practitioner’s Zhenqi! And the quality of this thing is even stronger!”

Bei Feng’s slash had been done while triggering the evil source energy in his dantian area. Originally, he’d assumed that this power could not be moved. But unexpectedly, he could actually wield it with ease, as though it was a bout of Zhenqi he had cultivated himself for a long time!

Chapter 362: Drama

The discovery that the evil source energy could actually be used like Zhenqi was something that Bei Feng had not expected.

He stretched out his hand and a jet black energy burst out of his palm, accompanied by a bout of blood and Qi energy of a similar quality. In that moment, the two kinds of energy collided together, forming a new power!

Bei Feng stretched his hand out and brought it down with a clawing movement.

A mutated stalk of rose in front of him was directly smashed into smithereens by the eagle claw. A gentle breeze blew across the area, bringing the rose which had been turned into powder with it, erasing it from existence completely!

“Among the same level, this new energy is stronger than normal blood and Qi energy by one fold!”

Bei Feng gasped loudly as he concluded his analysis with a finding that shocked even himself!

After his entire body had been infiltrated with the evil source energy, Bei Feng was already extremely shocked to find out that his strength had increased by 30 percent. But who would have thought that the new energy was actually capable of unleashing such a startling might!

“In any case, this power is already deeply rooted in my body. Then when I break through to the Controlled Dan realm, should I take advantage of the opportunity to merge this power with my source of strength?!”

Bei Feng thought for a moment and felt that this matter was definitely doable! Purely merging the two powers together manually all the time was simply too slow. It needed a certain amount of time to complete, and although it was possible to shorten the casting time slightly, there was no way such a method would be faster than using a single source of power!

The differing qualities of the two types of power meant that it was impossible to use this ability in a proper fight. Where would he find the time to leisurely merge two energies together in the middle of a fight?!

As Bei Feng ran his mind through the matter, his eyelids slowly drooped downwards and he fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.

At the same time, Mystic One and Mystic Three were at the entrance of the villa estate, waiting for the rest.

“What’s going on? There’s actually someone demanding me to hand over all my rights for Blue Spirit Mountain Villas!”

Lan Shihe had an extremely dark expression on his face. The person speaking to him was not polite at all, causing him to feel a great deal of anger in his heart. How many years has it been seen someone had dared to speak to him like that!

The Lan Clan was also a martial clan. However, they were considered as a rather small clan. The strongest person in their clan was only a mere Evolved Jing master.

At this time, Lan Shihe was rushing to Qingcheng with a bunch of men behind him!

Jin Sanjue had also received Mystic Three’s tipoff. Taking 50-60 Dark Jing and Light Jing experts with him, he directly rushed towards Blue Spirit Mountain Villas.

Jin Sanjue did not know why Mystic Three had called him over this time. But having tasted the sweet benefits the last time, he did not ask further and directly rushed over. In any case, he knew that he definitely wouldn’t be left out if there was any good rewards!

Since he was originally situated at Qingcheng, Jin Sanjue arrived very quickly.

This time, he’d brought along a third of Qingcheng’s Martial Practitioner Control Department’s manpower!

There were about a dozen Dark Jing masters, and the rest were all Light Jing experts. A long limo quickly pulled up in front of Blue Spirit Mountain Villas.

“Sir, what are we doing here?” a Dark Jing master asked.

Jin Sanjue did not reply, and looked around the area carefully. As he spotted Mystic One and Mystic Three, his eyes lit up and he quickly ran over.

“Greetings, two young lords!” Jin Sanjue greeted respectfully.

“En. I need you to gather everyone inside the villa estate with the exception of the boss and bring them all out here,” Mystic One said with a lazy tone. Mystic Three was like a block of ice, standing silently behind her with an unfriendly aura that caused others to feel frightened to approach them.

“Understood!”

Jin Sanjue stiffened slightly at this, but still nodded his head rather quickly. Although there were a lot of people in the villa estate who had connections with the Martial Practitioners Control Department, there should be no problems since he knew that there would be a tall figure capable of holding up the skies even if it were to collapse!

Jin Sanjue only hesitated for a moment before passing Mystic One’s instructions down. The group of experts behind him immediately expressed their disagreements.

“Sir, this does not conform with the regulations right?”

“That’s right, Sir. The residents here are not people who can be offended. Most of them have extensive ties with the martial community!”

A few Dark Jing masters stood out and expressed their doubt, seemingly not intending to move out.

Qingcheng was not a small place, but it wasn’t exactly a huge city, either. Everyone was part of the same city, and the most influential people definitely had pretty good relationships with the Martial Practitioners Control Department!

Many of them were guests elders at these wealthy families, or were their main patrons. Some of them even had marital ties between their families.

At least from the looks of the situation now, the greater half of the people here did not intend to make a move. Seven, eight Dark Jing experts were leading everyone to question Jin Sanjue’s orders.

“I know what everyone is thinking. But while you people are scared of losing those wealthy patrons, shouldn’t you be scared of me also?”

Jin Sanjue revealed an unkind expression. They had left in a hurry earlier and he did not have the chance to tell them what they were here for.

However, he had not expected that these people would actually refuse to follow his commands!

The few Dark Jing experts at the lead exchanged a glance and remained motionless, displaying their attitude towards this matter.

The number one factor that directly influenced a martial practitioner’s cultivation was resources! Without sufficient resources, one would still never get anywhere even if their talent was high enough to reach the skies!

Many of the experts were directly supported with resources by those wealthy residents in the villa estate. As such, how could they bear to act against them now and offend these wealthy people?

“Although you are one of the people in charge of Qingcheng’s Martial Practitioner Control Department, we still cannot act against these people without a proper cause! Most of the people here might be normal people who had never practiced martial arts, but their positions in society are not low! If it was just one or two, then fine. But without giving us any reasons, you want everyone to follow this order? If this matter was reported upwards, you will still not get off easily even if you are one of the people in charge of here!” Dong Yun Peng said as he stood out, completely disregarding Jin Sanjue’s darkening expression.

Dong Yun Peng was a talented individual that rose up pretty recently. He was not even 30 years old, but was already a half-step Evolved Jing master who could break through at any time. For this kind of talent in a small city like Qingcheng, he could already be considered as a genius!

Because of this, Dong Yun Peng had managed to catch the eye of a Xiantian Lord. The moment he broke through to the Xiantian realm, he would be accepted by the Xiantian Lord as an official disciple!

At the longest, he might take two to three more months. But if he was fast, he could definitely break through to the Evolved Jing realm in ten days to half a month’s time!

In other words, Dong Yun Peng could already be considered to have obtained the backing of a Xiantian Lord. This reason was enough for him to not fear Jin Sanjue at all.

‘What a joke, did you think that Qingcheng’s Martial Practitioners Control Department was run by your Jin Family? At the most, we’ll just join the command of any of the other two Evolved Jing masters!’

‘My wife is living in this villa estate. Could it be that you want me to go in there and apprehend my own wife? Laughable!’

The few Dark Jing masters at the front sneered in their hearts.

“This matter was ordered by an esteemed figure! I don’t care what concerns you guys have; just keep them away first!” Jin Sanjue hollered angrily, his voice reverberating loudly against everyone’s ears.

“Which esteemed figure is it? Can Master Jin reveal it to us? Perhaps my master might know this person? Or don’t tell me, it’s that little girl who isn’t even past her puberty yet? HAHA!”

Dong Yun Peng laughed loudly as he narrowed his eyes with disdain. The people behind him were also holding onto their laughter forcibly, seemingly on the verge of bursting out with laughter yet not daring to laugh. These people were not like Dong Yun Peng, having a powerful backer to lean on!

“Looks like you can’t handle your subordinates? Let me give you a hand.”

Mystic One had completely lost all her patience. She was not interested in watching this lame drama any longer. In that moment, she stepped forward and her chilly voice sounded out like a cold spring.

Mystic One was wearing a beautiful snow white dress which flowed down to her ankles, and she held a crimson whip in her hand, dragging it behind her, creating a long trace which snaked through in the sand.

Chapter 363: Subdue

Mystic One’s patience had already been worn down long ago. She was no longer in a mood to quibble further with these people. Without waiting for Jin Sanjue to say anything, she walked over with a sway of her slender hips.

Seeing this, Jin Sanjue stood over to the side quietly with a meaningful gleam in his eyes. At the same time, he felt a bit of embarrassment at failing to control his own men, being the target of insubordination in front of everyone.

“Why? You want to use violence against me?”

Dong Yunpeng snorted coldly as he regarded Mystic One. This little girl was quite pretty and although she was still a little young, her features had begun to blossom.

“A bunch of trash like you have the guts to defy my orders?” Mystic One spat coldly as she walked up to Dong Yunpeng. Although she was not as tall as the latter, she gave everyone a feeling as though she was high above Dong Yunpeng!

“Plop!”

A powerful pressure surged towards Dong Yunpeng. The poor fellow was only a half-step Evolved Jing master, so how would he have the ability to resist Mystic One’s Xiantian aura? In an instant, he was forced to his knees by the pressure!

Even the martial artists behind him felt a heavy feeling like a rock sitting against their chest, causing them to take numerous steps backwards.

At the same time, everyone sucked in a cold breath of air at the same time. From the sound of Dong Yunpeng’s knees hitting the ground, it sounded like it was extremely painful!

“B*tch! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!”

Ever since Dong Yunpeng received the acknowledgement of that Xiantian Lord, even the three top executives of Qingcheng’s Martial Practitioners Control Department had to be polite to him. As a result, his pride had been greatly inflated.

But right now, he was forced to kneel down before a little girl. How great a humiliation was that?! In the heat of the moment, he had already lost his mind from rage. How would he have the mind to think about how the little girl was able to force him to his knees just with her aura alone?!

“My master is an esteemed Xiantian Lord! Damn all of you! I will definitely make you all pay the price for this!”

Dong Yunpeng was extremely unconvinced. His eyes were practically boiling with hate and anger at this point.

Jin Sanjue stepped forward and asked tentatively, “Miss, do you think we should show him mercy this time? His master is a pretty well-known Xiantian Lord, I don’t wish to create trouble for Lord Bei Feng for no reason.”

The way he saw it, although Bei Feng had indeed killed Xiantian Lords before, it still wasn’t a good thing to offend other Xiantian Lords on his behalf.

“Xiantian? That might barely be sufficient to qualify as a servant under my boss!”

Mystic One turned around and revealed a sinister smile, leaving Jin Sanjue completely speechless!

“The most important thing for a person is to have some sense of their own limitations. Please improve your eyesight in the next life.”

Mystic One narrowed her eyes and lifted her whip.

The crimson whip seemed to have turned alive as it coiled agilely around Dong Yunpeng’s body!

“AH! You dare to kill me? My master will not let you off!”

The sharp edges of the whip tightened around Dong Yunpeng’s body, drawing thin lines of blood out, causing the crimson whip to seem a shade more devilish.

The whip was as agile as a snake, tightening around Dong Yunpeng’s body slowly. At this point, his screams were the only sounds left in the area.

As the whip coiled around his head, the screams become more and more muffled until, finally, nothing could be heard!

Mystic One pulled back her whip expressionlessly, revealing the grossly deformed Dong Yunpeng. With an in icy gaze, she looked over at the crowd who were all standing quietly like a group of frozen cicadas in winter. “Anyone else who is still unconvinced? Feel free to step out. However, your ending will be the same as this fellow!”

Mystic One pulled lightly on her whip and met the eyes of the crowd. In that moment, not a single person dared to open their mouth. Whoever stuck their heads out first would definitely be met with death only!

Everyone was cursing Jin Sanjue’s entire 18 generations of ancestors in their hearts at this point. At the same time, they were regretting following him here.

‘This lass is still so young, but her temper is really fiery!’

‘This girl is so vicious!’

‘Hmph! I’d like to see how Jin Sanjue will answer to the organization later. As for these two who dare to interfere with the Martial Practitioners Control Department’s operations, they, too, would not be able to escape!’

Many of the people present were grumbling in their hearts, each harboring their own thoughts. However, with an example laid out before them, nobody dared to raise their heads.

The group of experts hurried into the villa estate. Although Tang Weiguo and the rest tried to stop them, they were still forced to stand on the side and watch helplessly as numerous Martial Practitioners Control Department authorization badges were flashed in their faces.

At this time, Bei Feng had felled a large tree and hollowed it out, fashioning it into a wooden boat which he placed on the lake. In his hands was an ordinary fishing rod. The line hanging from it did not even have a hook.

The aquatic plants around the lake were plentiful and further out, there were numerous large trees growing closely together, each with trunks thick enough for several people to wrap their arms around. These trees originally only had trunks with the thickness of an adult’s thigh. But after absorbing the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi drawn over during the System’s upgrade, as well as the gush of energy saturated by the Primordial Chaos Qi during the solar eclipse, they had all grown rapidly!

Bei Feng closed his eyes and allowed the wind to carry his little boat as it pleased. His mind was filled with the image of Mystic Moon.

“I don’t even know if this goodbye is temporary, or an eternal separation,” Bei Feng muttered silently. The universe was simply too huge. Without knowing where she had gone, where would he start searching?

Even if he had had the System’s aid and sufficient experience points to forcefully traverse all the different worlds, he still wouldn’t have had any confidence of finding her!

This task was essentially more daunting than searching for a needle in an ocean! At the very least, it was possible to find out the exact size and limits of an ocean. However, the universe was simply too expansive!

The fishing rod in his hands was not the Golden Ebony Fishing Rod. This was just a normal bamboo pole with a string tied to it.

Bei Feng inserted his blood and Qi into the fishing rod, causing a dark-red energy to appear around the rod. In an instant, this ordinary rod had taken on an extraordinary look!

“Pa!”

As the blood and Qi energy rose to a certain limit, the fishing rod suddenly exploded, turning into mere dust and powder which disappeared with the wind.

Bei Feng shook his head and threw the tiny section of bamboo in his had away. After that, he laid down on the boat with a light sigh as he allowed the wind to carry the boat.

“I still can’t do it… is it really so hard to refine Qi into a thread?”

Bei Feng sighed lightly. He could not remember how many times he’d failed already. From the time he successfully introduced his blood and Qi energy into the Fusang Wood Fishing Rod, he’d been practicing this technique secretly by himself.

Unfortunately, this technique was incredibly difficult, causing him to feel extremely unresigned.

Still, he did not throw in the towel yet. This kind of ability to refine Qi into thread was much stronger than his current method of wielding his strength!

The boat floated lightly across the center of the lake, gently stirring up some light ripples. At the bottom of the lake of unknown depths, a huge head reared up, and its eyes swiveled upwards. After a short moment, it began to swim upwards.

This fish looked incredibly savage, like a giant piranha! A third of the scales around its stomach was red and its mouth was filled with huge sharp teeth, causing any who looked at it to feel a chill running down their spines!

This fish was over eight meter long. It was also one of the three overlords of this lake. At this point, it had already survived for 200 years!

This Demonic Beast had a strength of Grade 5. Its movement speed in the water was as fast as lightning. With a few swishes of its tail, its speed increased greatly and in the blink of an eye, it’d reached within several tens of meters of Bei Feng!

Chapter 364: Honorary Vice President

Bei Feng seemed to have selective amnesia when it came to Mystic Moon’s departure. In actual fact, he’d only hidden this kind of helpless feeling into the deepest part of his heart!

The wooden boat floated gently on the lake. Directly below it, a huge fish was surfacing quickly. From its perception, it could sense that devouring this human would definitely be extremely beneficial for it!

As for whether or not this meal was something it could stomach wasn’t a matter its simple brain could process.

“Peng!”

The huge fish swayed its tail powerfully and charged towards the little boat. However, the water itself seemed to have become as hard as a thick piece of steel, causing the fish to smash its head bloody!

The intelligence of this fish was clearly not sufficient to understand why it could not exit the water. As the blood flowed freely from its head, it became even more ferocious!

“Sniff, sniff!”

Bei Feng wriggled his nose absentmindedly as he turned his eyes to look at the pool of blood in the water.

The fish charged towards the surface once again, quite clearly not content to let this huge meal go!

Unexpectedly, the fish was actually able to exit the water this time! With a single leap, it soared high into the sky and dropped head first towards Bei Feng!

Bei Feng did not even raise his head. The dark patterns around his eyes gleamed briefly.

“Kill!”

A burst of killing intent as dense as a flood surged upwards at the huge fish!

The huge fish turned stiff in an instant as an indescribable chill washed over its body as if it wished to freeze its soul!

Bei Feng’s hands shot out with the speed of lightning, grabbing onto the jaw of the fish. With a slight exertion of his strength, he gave a powerful tug!

“Rip!”

The figure of a huge eagle appeared behind Bei Feng’s back. His two hands were bent in the shape of an eagle’s claws. Without any resistance, the 8-meter-long beast was directly torn in two!

A torrent of blood rained down, dying the entire lake surface red!

Numerous aquatic Demonic Beasts started to swarm over with rapid speed!

“Huala!”

Bei Feng flung the Demonic Beast body into the water casually, causing the entire area to turn dark-red with blood and gore.

“HAHA! Kill, die, destroy!”

A crazed smile suddenly appeared on Bei Feng’s face as both his eyes turned red. A bunch of strange words appeared from his mouth unconsciously.

“Heaven Splitting!”

“Earth Splintering!”

Bei Feng stood suspended in the air above the lake, blasting claw strike after claw strike into the unfathomably deep lake!

There wasn’t any big explosion or anything. In contrast, the lake seemed rather peaceful!

The claw strikes were all wrapped with a constantly revolving Qi flow, allowing them to slice through the water surface with ease, not creating much disturbance.

The numerous Demonic Beasts did not even have the time to react, and were instantly killed!

More Demonic Beasts swarmed over, their minds crazed and clouded by the overpowering blood stench. However, not a single one was able to escape, all of them being torn into numerous pieces!

Several minutes passed before Bei Feng was able to snap back to his normal state of mind, regaining his clarity with the help of his powerful mental power.

Bei Feng’s expression was exceptionally grave as he looked at the huge pool of blood spreading through the water. With a shake of his head, he quickly left the area.

If he did not hurry up and leave, the compulsive thoughts might arise again and smash against his mind’s defenses again!

“Who knew that the sight of blood would cause the evil source energy’s influence to erupt so violently!”

Bei Feng escaped the area and immediately felt the compulsive desire to murder and destroy subside substantially.

---

On the other side, all the residents were still confused about what was happening when they were abruptly chased out by the large group of martial practitioners.

With Mystic One directing the scene, all resistance was squashed quickly. After killing about a dozen more people, everyone obediently followed Jin Sanjue’s instructions.

Bei Feng’s group had amassed a great fortune after wiping out the Han Clan. Most of the people immediately agreed to move out without further hesitation once they were offered double the price for their villas.

Only a small number of people refused to move out due to attachment, or because they felt that it was too much of a loss of face to be forced out of their homes. A few others felt that their backers were strong enough, and were unmoved. In the end, they were all killed like a bunch of chickens as an example to the others.

Everyone felt their scalps growing numb as they looked at Mystic One. This little girl’s methods were certainly ruthless! She actually dared to kill those important figures!

In that moment, everyone knew that there was no longer any meaning in putting up any resistance. Without a second word, they all left Blue Spirit Mountain Villas obediently.

“Sir and Miss, these people will definitely not let this matter rest. We may have caught them off guard today, but later, when they manage to gather their forces again, they might become very problematic to handle.”

Jin Sanjue had already started to regret his actions in his heart. As long as those people came together, they would be able to suffocate him to death with just their influence alone!

“Take this and stopper their mouths with it. Anyone else who dares to jump out after that will be met with death!”

Mystic One took out a command token and threw it to Jin Sanjue.

Jin Sanjue hurriedly caught the token and examined it closely. It wasn’t clear what material the token was made with. It had a dark sheen, and the words Martial Practitioners Control Department were carved into it using the small seal script.

A majestic mountain was carved on the other side of the token. Quite apparently, this was the fabled Mt Kunlun, home of the Gods!

“What’s this?” Jin Sanjue asked uncertainly.

“That’s the command token that the Martial Practitioners Control Department gave to the boss. Right, if we were to look at it strictly, our boss is also an Honorary Vice President of the Martial Practitioners Control Department.”

Mystic One’s voice was calm and cool, but to Jin Sanjue, her words were like a bomb that had gone off in his brain!

As a rather highly ranked member of the Martial Practitioners Control Department, he naturally understood what the vice president of the organization meant!

A position of that level was only held by Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts! Ordinary weapons were completely useless against these people. Unless they were surrounded or bombarded with weapons with great destructive strength and wide area of effect, experts of that level could roam freely anywhere they go!

“This subordinate understands!”

Even the way Jin Sanjue addressed himself changed in that instant as his face lit up with undisguised happiness!

This time, he had unknowingly hugged onto a super-thick thigh! The Martial Practitioners Control Department would only gift a position of Honorary Vice President to anyone who broke through to the Controlled Dan realm. Even throughout the entire organization, there were very few of these experts!

Jin Sanjue hurriedly left as he prepared to mobilize the entire Qingcheng’s Martial Practitioners Control Department. Anyone with the guts to stick their heads out at this point would all be smashed back into place!

Not many people dared to say that their records were completely clean since they managed to reach such high positions and grow their businesses to such a level. With a serious investigation, it was a simple thing to throw these people into the line of the law.

Mystic One allowed Mystic Three to follow Jin Sanjue back. As for herself, she turned around and walked towards Tang Weiguo’s group.

“The entire Blue Spirit Mountain Villas belongs to my boss now. If you guys are still willing to stay here and watch the gates, you will receive three times the salary. If there’s anyone who’s unwilling, please leave now,” Mystic One said casually. Then, without waiting for Tang Weiguo’s reply, she directly turned around and left.

Tang Weiguo and the rest looked at each other for a long time without saying a single word. Although Blue Spirit Mountain was somewhat remote, the pay here was rather high. If they lost this job, they would not be able to guarantee such a high pay for their next job.

Tang Weiguo finally opened his mouth and said, “Whether you want to stay or leave, you guys can make the decision yourself.”

Everyone stood before Tang Weiguo in a disciplined manner and said, “Captain, what about you? If you’re staying, we’ll all stay with you!”

“What else can I do if I don’t stay? Apart from being well-versed at killing and covert operations, what else do we know with only our knowledge from the military? Put bluntly, we’re a bunch of people that’d been separated from normal society. I’ve decided to stay!”

Tang Weiguo laughed self-deprecatingly. When he joined the army that year, he hadn’t given any thoughts to what he would do after leaving the army. But although he ended up without any proper skills to join a decent workforce and build a career, Tang Weiguo had never regretted his choice for even a single moment!

He’d sacrificed himself to protect the country, and had been true to his heart!

Now that he’d served the country, it was time for him to live for his family!

Chapter 365: Dragon Meat In Heaven, Donkey Meat On Earth!

The quiet and beautiful Blue Spirit Mountain Range had officially changed ownership. Despite that, Tang Weiguo and the rest only thought for a moment before deciding to stay.

Just one month’s salary from this job was sufficient to let their families live without any worries! This was the only thing they could do for their families.

---

Mystic One had returned to the villa, standing quietly by a corner as she looked at Bei Feng in the yard, standing within a bunch of peach trees.

The peach trees had grown to a height of over 10 meters and their trunks were each as thick as an adult’s waist. One had to know that just a few days ago, these trees were not even half a meter tall. Within the time frame of a single afternoon, they seemed to have jumped 50 years forward in time. The trees were weirdly separated into two types. Some of them had completely black barks, while the rest had normal-colored trunks.

Bei Feng could remember clearly that the black peach trees were all planted by Mystic Moon, while the normal ones had been planted by him.

The entire area was filled with the different colored trees growing together, with black and pink peach blossoms everywhere.

The fragrance of flowers permeated the entire area, causing one to feel extremely refreshed, as though they had received a baptism of the spirit.

Mystic One walked over and reported respectfully, “Boss, the matter has been taken care of.”

“En. Get a few guys and tear down all the villas. I want to plant this entire mountain range full of peach trees,” Bei Feng instructed lightly as he ran his fingers along the trunk of a black peach tree.

“Understood.”

Mystic One nodded lightly and turned around.

Cerberus strutted over gracefully as it returned to the villa. It’d spent a day in the mountains and had been acknowledged as a king by all the creatures on it. This alone caused its mood to soar.

“Yip!”

Lost in its dreamy state, the Cerberus bumped into Bei Feng as it walked. In an instant, its back arched dramatically as it jumped backwards.

Insatiable and Black Hole sniffed the air suspiciously, but after seeing that it was Bei Feng, they still went up to him although their eyes held some hints of fear.

After Bei Feng patted them on the head and left, a grave expression appeared on Indigestion’s face.

Indigestion cocked its head and thought, ‘What the hell happened with that little b*stard? How did his aura transform so drastically? Even this Lord Dog got a shock from it!’

Even those two idiots, Insatiable and Black Hole had been frightened to that extent, almost failing to recognize Bei Feng.

Bei Feng returned to his room, calmed his mind, and began to examine the ancient scrolls again.

With a pot of clear tea and a scroll of ancient text, Bei Feng managed to calm his heart down and sink his mind into the book.

It seemed like the ancient scriptures had a certain resisting effect against the evil source energy. Although the effect was not huge, it was enough to keep him from being corrupted by the energy.

Time passed and as he raised his head to look out of the window, the sky had already darkened. The tea by his side had grown cold long ago.

Bei Feng got up and stretched his limbs slowly. “The effects of the scriptures are only that much. It can only suppress the influence of the evil source energy temporarily, but it is incapable of removing it.”

He came to the yard and with a thought, retrieved a Demonic Beast body which looked like a donkey.

This Demonic Beast looked exactly like a donkey on Earth, being only much bigger in size. It was over six meters long and had long perky ears. There was a long wound on its abdomen.

Bei Feng took out the purple gold knife and began to slice at the skin and bones. It was unknown what material the knife was made of, but it was able to cut through the tough donkey hide with ease.

Within a few minutes, the entire beast had been skinned cleanly, revealing its pinkish red muscle and meat.

This donkey was a peak third level Demonic Beast. Its battle prowess was so high that it could even contend against some newly advanced fourth level human cultivators! Its strength was frighteningly high, and the energy in its blood and flesh far surpassed normal third level Demonic Beasts!

The knife in Bei Feng’s hands danced gracefully, quickly separating the meat and blood into neat chunks, leaving behind a bare skeleton.

A strong bloody stench rose continuously into Bei Feng’s nose, and he could feel the evil source energy in his dantian beginning to stir again.

Bei Feng who had just finished reading a bunch of scriptures was able to forcefully block the invasive influence of the evil source energy and keep his clarity of mind.

But from the bloodshot look in his eyes, it was easy to tell that his current situation was not as calm as he portrayed it.

All the innards was buried in his specialized medicine garden. At the same time, he buried 20 middle grade spirit stones into the ground as well. Then, he planted some of the seeds he found in Tian Mozi’s spatial ring as well.

After settling everything, Bei Feng spat out a mouthful of turbid air and looked towards the bare skeleton.

The skeleton had not been cleared properly of meat, there was still a large amount of blood and flesh stuck on it. Bei Feng took some water from the kitchen and started to clean it. After that, he left behind an entire piece of thigh bone.

With a flick of his hand, a huge pot appeared from his spatial ring. An enormous hand appeared and supported it, causing it to be suspended in midair.

A grayish white flame burst into life in Bei Feng’s hand, which then drifted lightly into the pot.

The meat from the thigh bone was carefully scrapped off by Bei Feng, while Mystic One stood to the side, helping him to prepare the ingredients.

The flame was very small, only about the thickness of a thumb. However, its temperature was extremely high. In under a minute, the pot was already hot enough.

After putting in the beast oil he refined from the meat, he added in some garlic and other complimentary ingredients before throwing in the thigh bone meat and stir-frying everything together.

When all the ingredients turned fragrant, he poured in a large portion of water and the shattered thigh bone before leaving everything to boil.

There were many folklore stories and sayings in the past which described the taste of donkey meat. For example, there was the saying: Dragon meat in heaven, donkey meat on earth. Although no one had tasted a dragon’s meat before, the ancient people felt that the heavenly taste of donkey meat would definitely be able to match up to dragon meat!

According to historical records, donkey meat had a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness. It had the effects of calming one’s mind, relieving stress and madness, nourishing blood and Qi, and so on. It could alleviate physical symptoms caused by long-term strain and ache caused by exposure to wind in addition to other benefits. The meat could be cooked and eaten directly or refined into sauce and used to boil porridge. Donkey broth soup was also very suitable for improving the symptoms of mentally disturbed sufferers.

From this, one could see how precious and delicious donkey meat had been in those times—a delicacy that could only be found on the tables of the rich and influential. Ordinary folk would not have any chance to savor it!

Although people enjoyed the taste of donkey meat and loved its taste, they found that its texture was rather tough. Thus, those people came up with a certain method…

This method was to catch a donkey between one and half to two years old and, while it was still alive, they would slice off pieces of its flesh!

After a period of time, the wounds on the donkey would gradually heal, replaced by new, tender flesh! These people would then slice off the meat again and cook it. They would then repeat this process over and over until the donkey eventually died!

Although this method was exceedingly cruel, it ensured that the donkey meat retained its taste, as well as an incredibly tenderness which practically melted in the mouth! At that time, this meat was something the powerful clans loved to eat the most!

Bei Feng controlled the fire carefully as he boiled the broth.

From time to time, he would add more water into the pot. After a while, an intoxicating fragrance rose out of the pot.

It was well-known that determining whether a meat dish was delicious depended on the amount of amino acids in it. Normal donkey meat already contained a rich amount of amino acids, not to mention this powerful donkey Demonic Beast of the third level!

In terms of taste, texture, and nutritional value, this donkey Demonic Beast had already surpassed the level of a normal donkey by umpteen times. Its meat was exceedingly tender, yet it still retained a nice chewy texture.

Just the smell of the broth alone was enough to cause one’s saliva to overflow uncontrollably!

This was especially the case for Bei Feng who had not eaten for an entire day. Right now, the meat in the pot was already cooked. However, it did not fall apart like regular donkey meat. Instead, it remained complete and sat calmly within the glistening soup.

The snow-white broth bubbled energetically. With each bubble that popped, a thick fragrance would rise out of the pot!

Chapter 366: Dumbfounded

The yard was filled with all kinds of different flowers blooming together. Many of the flowers which were not supposed to be growing at this time of the year were blossoming resplendently. Numerous butterflies and bees flitted through the garden jovially.

Mystic One, the Cerberus and the little fox were all sitting before the pot, watching the donkey soup with unblinkingly eyes.

Bei Feng lightly sprinkled some salt into it and recalled the Azure Alchemist Fire.

Initially, he had thought of using the Alchemist Azure Fire to burn the evil source energy away. That was because the flame simply sounded too amazing. However, the flame itself was nearly extinguished when it came near to the evil source energy. From then on, Bei Feng did not dare to take that risk anymore.

A large pot of donkey broth was soon done, and paired with hot piping White River Rice and some specially prepared chili sauce.

Every grain of rice was cooked to perfection, with none sticking together. When bitten into, it tasted like top grade caviar.

With a light bite, the rich taste of the fragrant white rice permeated through the mouth. Each grain was chewy, yet not sticky at all.

Donkey broth belonged more to a light and refreshing kind of food. It could be eaten by itself, and did not lack in taste.

However, Bei Feng had already grown used to having rice with every meal. He did not eat it just because the bland taste of rice complemented everything. Although the lightness of the broth was good in itself, the meal would not contain the joy and enjoyment of stuffing one’s face with rice if it was eaten alone.

The donkey meat was thoroughly cooked; its texture was somewhat similar to jelly when grabbed by the chopsticks. One could see the meat quivering lightly as they raised it to their mouths.

Bei Feng gently swiped the meat over the chili sauce, tainting it with a faint crimson sheen. He sprinkled some chopped fresh green onions over the top. At a glance, the meat looked incredibly appetizing!

The Cerberus looked unblinkingly at Bei Feng with all three heads, while the little fox also sat down like an obedient child. It’d even brought its own bowl to the table and was sitting there calmly.

Mystic One had completely discarded her ice queen image, sitting on the edge of her seat like a greedy child.

An unprecedented calm reigned in Bei Feng’s heart at this moment. Every time he looked over to the side of the table at the empty set of plates and chopsticks, he would fall into a solemn silence.

Seeing the bunch of hungry fellows sitting in front of him, Bei Feng could not help but chuckle a little. He fished out the huge thigh bone and placed it before the Cerberus.

Then, he calmly picked up the little fox’s bowl and scooped a small spoonful of soup for it. As for Mystic Moon, she only received a ladle of soup and two pieces of meat.

The two beasts and one human looked up at Bei Feng with stupefied expressions as though they were thinking of rebelling.

Looking at the little bit of food before them versus the huge pile of meat before Bei Feng, everyone nearly cried aloud together about the injustice!

“This Lord Dog wants meat!” the Cerberus demanded through mental transmission as it cast a disdainful gaze at the smooth bone before it. That bone was so smooth that it looked like it had been licked clean by a dog before. There wasn’t the slightest morsel of meat on it at all!

“Meep!”

The little fox stood up on its two legs and meeped in protest. It pointed its little paws at the two pieces of meat in Mystic One’s bowl in a disgruntled manner as if it was saying, “I don’t want soup. I want meat too!”

Mystic One didn’t say anything, but a sneaky look passed on her face as she eyed the large pile of meat in front of Bei Feng.

“A bunch of greedy ghosts! Finish what you have in front of you first! If you’re not stuffed to death by the time you’re done, I’ll give the whole pot of meat to you!”

Bei Feng snorted with exasperation.

Seeing that their protests were ineffective, the few of them could only lower their heads to tackle the food before them.

Each of them looked more ferocious than the other as they ripped at their food, as if they were imagining that the Bei Feng was in their bowls!

All three heads of the Cerberus were opened wide, revealing rows upon rows of incredibly sharp teeth!

“Kuang!”

“Yip!”

A tragic cry rang out, and everyone turned their gazes to the Cerberus.

“AH! AH! This Lord Dog is going to die from the pain!”

The Cerberus’s teeth had been shattered, falling all over the floor. Each head had lost at least three to five teeth, causing the poor creature to recoil with pain!

The huge thigh bone in front of them was completely unharmed. Apart from the scars left by Bei Feng when he chopped it apart, there wasn’t even a single teeth mark on it!

“Wu, wu!”

Insatiable and Black Hole whimpered pitifully and raised their heads at Bei Feng.

“What did those two say?”

Bei Feng didn’t know what those two fellows were saying, so he turned to Indigestion instead.

Indigestion had a weird expression on his face as he asked, “Are you sure you want me to translate it?”

“If I ask you to tell me, just do it. What’s the point of asking nonsensical questions?”

Bei Feng gave Indigestion a rap on its forehead and prepared himself to listen to what those two little fellows said.

“Those two idiotic fellows asked what kind of motherf*cking stuff you just fed to them, causing all their teeth to drop!”

“Bang!”

Indigestion fled as soon as it finished its translation. But before it could get far, it was caught by Bei Feng again and given another sharp rap on the head.

Indigestion pouted in an extremely aggrieved manner. It felt like it had been wronged greatly. It was you who wanted this Lord Dog to translate for you, but it was still this Lord Dog that got hit in the end!

Bei Feng shook his head with exasperation. With a flick of his hand, Soaring Rainbow flew out and darted around his body briefly. Then, it instantly appeared beside the bone and brushed lightly against it once before returning to him.

After being refined continuously by Bei Feng’s bountiful blood and Qi energy, the structure of the Broken Star Ores and the Golden Geng metal had become more condensed. The next step would naturally be to meld the two different metals together, combining them into a brand-new type of metal!

The thigh bone which could not be hurt by the teeth of a powerful Cerberus was easily split apart in the middle by Soaring Rainbow into two pieces.

The Cerberus came leaping back eagerly at it pushed the bone apart lightly. A bright light burst out from the bone as it fell open, causing the Cerberus to squint all six of its eyes in response.

A bunch of gooey golden yellow marrow laid glistening in the hollows of the bone, emanating a thick fragrance.

“Ao-wu~”

Insatiable and Black Hole were so excited that they even began howling like a wolf!

“Indigestion, you should watch these two greedy little fellows properly! I don’t want to see a scenario where you lot die from being overstuffed!”

Bei Feng’s voice drifted over, causing Indigestion to shiver slightly.

At this time, it suddenly remembered the fist-sized piece of meat Bei Feng gave it the last time. That time, it had nearly gotten into trouble from eating too recklessly!

“However, this Lord Dog is now a peak primary stage Xiantian dog! That piece of meat the last time would only be sufficient to be a morning snack for this Lord Dog now!”

Indigestion smirked nonchalantly as it rolled out its tongue and lapped up some of that delicious-looking bone marrow.

The moment the bone marrow roiled down its throat and entered its stomach, the Cerberus immediately felt an incredible amount of energy surge through its entire body!

“Not good!”

Indigestion’s face changed drastically. Not bothering with the protests of the other two fellows, it charged madly towards the yard!

“Hong long long!”

A series of rumbling sounds drifted over.

“I’ve told you so earlier… you just wouldn’t listen.”

Bei Feng looked at the huge creature speechlessly. Looks like he would need to adjust his stance with these fellows again.

Sighing lightly, Bei Feng placed a piece of donkey meat into his mouth. The texture of the meat felt like jelly when it entered his mouth, quivering lightly.

Biting down lightly, he discovered that all the gelatinous quality of the meat was locked within itself, not overflowing in the slightest.

The first thing that came to mind when he bit down was that the meat was tender and chewy. As he chewed further, the smoothness and purity of the meat was displayed fully. The taste was the last element to be unleashed.

The fragrance of the meat was so intense that it was like watching a hundreds to millions of tons of lava spewing out from a volcano, enveloping everything around it!

This sort of heavenly taste coupled with the tenderness of the meat caused anyone who tried it to sink into a perfect state of blissfulness!

“The ancient people indeed didn’t lie!” Bei Feng exclaimed aloud and proceeded to gorge himself with the food.

Although it seemed like there was a lot of food in the pot, most of it was just soup. The meat on the thigh bone had mostly been sliced off by Bei Feng in the beginning after all.

This time, the amount of donkey meat most likely did not even reach two jin. However, just this two jin of meat was enough to make Bei Feng feel so bloated that it was uncomfortable. After eating just a third of the meat and drinking some soup, Bei Feng immediately rushed off to practice the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique to remove the excess energy from the meat.

Chapter 367: The Cerberus’s Considerations

The energy contained in this donkey meat was even stronger than the Grade 9 Savage Beast meat. Quite obviously, this realm also had differences in power.

Bei Feng began practicing his Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique in the yard as large amounts of energy rampaged freely through his body. Bei Feng calmed his heart and sunk his mind into his cultivation.

As the pressure around his body grew stronger, the rampaging energy also slowed down as if it had been shackled down by chains. Their speed grew much slower before incorporated by Bei Feng’s own blood and Qi energy and directed towards his veins.

“Pop!”

Numerous faint but realistic sounds ran out. Each popping sound represented a vein or meridian being cleared!

The energy contained in this donkey meat was stronger than any other Demonic Beast meat he had ever eaten, almost to a point where it was on a whole new level!

There was also nothing to criticize about the beneficial effects of eating it. If the ability of the Grade 9 Savage Beast meat to force open blood vessels and meridians was rated one, then the donkey meat was three!

At the same time, Bei Feng was gripping two middle tier spirit stones, one in each hand, as he absorbed the energy within without restraint!

The newly opened veins were frail, and if he was not careful, they would easily suffer damage.

In the past, Bei Feng would stop all the blood and Qi from going through a certain vein immediately after it’d been cleared to continue clearing another vein. Instead, he would let the blood and Qi sit in the vein to nourish it.

Then, the next time when he cultivated again, he could use that vein to carry his blood and Qi to besiege the other veins connected to it.

But now that he had the spirit stones, his options had increased substantially. The Ling Qi could be directly guided to a vein that had just been cleared, nourishing it immediately.

With speed visible to the naked eye, the fine cracks and scars left behind by the violent blood and Qi energy on the newly cleared veins were quickly healed by the Ling Qi from the spirit stone.

At the same time, the thickness of the veins were improved, allowing them to carry more powerful blood and Qi!

Bei Feng revolved his blood and Qi repeatedly until white steam rose continuously off his back, forming a fog cloud over a meter tall over his head.

A gentle breeze swept across the yard, causing the fog cloud to deform. However, it was eventually still not dissipated.

“Hu!”

Bei Feng opened his mouth and spat out a breath of steam. In an instant, his jade-white skin turned red, seemingly having transformed into a boiled lobster!

Droplets of impurities which had been lodged in Bei Feng’s veins were slowly forced out of his skin.

“Just half a jin of donkey meat allowed me to clear over a thousand veins! How unexpected!”

Bei Feng swept his perception over his body and revealed a smile.

The Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique simply required too much in resources to train in. It was so hefty that even Bei Feng felt quite shocked. One Jin of Grade 9 Savage Beast meat was only enough to help him clear about 200 to 300 veins.

Seeing the dirt on his clothes, Bei Feng could not help but narrow his eyes with disgust. These smelly droplets of sweat were actually the impurities from the deepest parts of the body. As long as a vein was not cleared, it was impossible to remove the impurities within.

Bei Feng returned to his room and went directly to the bathroom. After cleaning himself thoroughly, he felt extremely relaxed, as if the pores on his body were breathing as well.

This was not a mere feeling or some illusion. In fact, his pores were really breathing!

But what they were breathing in was actually not air. Instead, the pores were breathing imperceptible amounts of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi!

In other words, Bei Feng’s body was absorbing Heaven and Earth Ling Qi from the air. The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi would flow to every part of his body and be absorbed by his cells, slowly strengthening him.

Of course, this kind of strengthening was very slow. A tiny bit of result might only appear after over a decade or so of constant absorption.

When he was done, Bei Feng pulled a fresh robed over himself and went back to the dining table. The little fox had picked up its bowl and downed its spoonful of soup in a suave manner before puffing its chest out and walking away in a satisfied manner as though it was drinking some strong alcohol. Mystic One had also disappeared after eating her fill. Bei Feng also did not bother to find out where everyone had gone.

The donkey broth had already become somewhat cold, so Bei Feng used his Azure Alchemist Fire and heated it up again.

The large amounts of energy he had received from the first round of donkey meat had already been expended to clear his blood vessels. At this time, his stomach was still not satisfied!

In a few minutes, the milky white broth had started bubbling again, and the rich fragrance of the meat broth spread through the air.

Bei Feng did not rush to eat the meat. Instead, he started by scooping himself a bowl of soup.

A thin layer of oil and greasy fat lined the surface of the soup. A few pieces of chopped green onion floated above it. Just the appearance of this soup alone was enough to rouse the appetite of anyone!

Bei Feng scooped up half a spoon of the piping hot soup and brought it to his mouth. As soon as it entered his mouth, he could feel the soup slide across his tongue like silk. The fresh meaty taste in the soup was even superior to the actual donkey meat itself!

Although only the most basic complimentary ingredients were added to the soup, there wasn’t the least bit of any gamey taste in the soup! Normally, there would always be a slightly gamey odor in any cattle-type dishes if they were cooked and treated with simple ingredients only.

In contrast, there was a refreshing taste reminiscent of spirit herbs which had been deeply melded into the blood and flesh of the meat!

“Could it be that this huge fellow was a herbivore?”

Bei Feng felt rather astonished at this discovery. All the Demonic Beasts he’d seen before, no matter what species they were, would usually eat a bit of meat to make the leap to become a Demonic Beast. Even after making the leap to become a Demonic Beast, these creatures would not mind changing their diets to a purely carnivorous one.

At this moment, the Cerberus was at the back of the mountain, violently striking at everything around it. Its destructive power was extremely shocking!

“Boom!”

The mountain peak of a small mountain nearby was directly blasted apart by a Moon Seizing strike!

“Hu, hu!”

The Cerberus stuck out its tongues, huffing and puffing raggedly.

“D*mn bastard! This Lord Dog almost died!”

At this time, the Cerberus’s size was fluctuating wildly, sometimes growing larger and sometimes shrinking down. Its breath was also wild and uneven.

It had not expected that the energy in that bone marrow would actually be so monstrous! Those two greedy idiots had swallowed quite a lot of bone marrow with just one bite!

“I must definitely watch these two properly the next time! Otherwise, they’ll kill this Lord Dog one day!”

Indigestion was on the verge of tears. For a period of time, the Cerberus had nothing nice to eat. Then, all of a sudden, it was getting stuffed with every morsel it took!

The Cerberus stopped its actions and surveyed the chaos around it. The place looked like it’d been blasted with several bombs, and looked completely messy.

As it felt the huge surge of energy still rampaging through its body, the Cerberus gritted its teeth and decided to make its breakthrough!

A dense devilish Qi rose out of the Cerberus’s body, forming a huge cocoon around him.

The strongest thing about Demonic Beasts was usually their body. Every species were different, but Demonic Beasts usually had huge bodies. That was because a larger body could hold more strength and energy, usually making the larger Demonic Beasts more powerful when compared with others within the same realm.

Although the human body could not contain as much power as a Demonic Beast of the same realm, humans were better at controlling and using their powers.

Still, unless it was some monstrous genius-level characters, Demonic Beasts were usually stronger than their human counterparts.

“Hong!”

A few hours passed, and the Cerberus’s aura surged madly upwards. Blood and Qi energy as well as a frightening demonic aura rushed into the sky!

“I’ve finally recovered my Xiantian mid stage cultivation! This was much faster than I’d expected,” Indigestion mumbled with excitement. At this current rate of improvement, it should be able to break through to become a Controlled Dan Demonic Beast for real within a decade! [1]

As of now, its strength had already reached the Controlled Dan level. However, its cultivation was still within the middle Xiantian realm. But as long as it had sufficient resources, it was not impossible for it to break through to the Controlled Dan realm within a year!

Of course, Insatiable was not thinking about rushing to reach the Controlled Dan realm so quickly. Instead, it was doing its best to suppress its cultivation right now.

It wanted to make its foundations as stable as possible! After all, a chance like this to start anew was a heavenly gift!

Chapter 368: Body Cultivation And Qi Refining

Although it had managed to reach the Fake Dan realm in the past, it had actually not realized its maximum potential!

What the Cerberus wanted to do now was to grab every opportunity to set the most stable foundations in every realm and minor stage. At the same time, since it was cultivating the Xiantian realm using its knowledge of a Fake Dan expert, it was like answering a primary school student’s questions using the knowledge and experience of a university student. It was bound to discover the errors in its previous cultivation.

This was not an exaggeration in any way, because the difference between Controlled Dan and Xiantian was truly that huge! Anyone in the Controlled Dan realm could be said to have stepped into a higher level of existence!

The most obvious mark of a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert was that one could stay suspended in midair without any external aid. Although they could not hover in midair indefinitely, this was still a large leap forward for any life form!

Right now, the Cerberus had reached over 5 meters in height and 15 meters in length!

The Cerberus lifted its body and looked around its surroundings with a domineering air!

Actually, only Indigestion’s head was raised domineeringly. Insatiable and Black Hole looked rather absent-minded.

Unfortunately, right now, the Cerberus was simply too monstrous in size. Rows upon rows of sharp canine teeth gleamed with a cold light, and adding on its ugly features, it would be hard even if it didn’t want to scare anybody!

---

One would only think that a tiger was cute and harmless if they only saw it on TV.

But if they were to bump into a real tiger in the jungle, they would learn that no matter how cute a tiger was, it was still a carnivorous predator! Especially if a meal was delivered to its doorsteps, there was no way the tiger would reject it!

There was a saying that went, “The person was bitten with my own abilities. By what rights should I spit him out?”

The same logic applied for Mystic One as well. It was just a bowl of soup and two pieces of meat, so she did not take it seriously at the start.

But only after finishing everything did Mystic One realize how wrong she was! The huge amounts of energy rampaged through her body, causing her to feel like she was going to explode from eating too much food!

Mystic One’s main path of cultivation was mainly a Qi refiner, with body cultivation as a complimenting path.

The Minor Illumination Breathing Technique she practiced had set a pretty strong foundation for her body. With just the strength of her body, she could sweep through all other Evolved Jing masters unrivaled!

The very first step to refining Qi was, most importantly, to have a strong body. Where did Qi come from?

There was a certain term: training vital essence and evolving Qi! Qi was, in itself, something that was refined from the physical body!

With a powerful physique, not only would the Qi refined through it be of a higher quality than normal, it’d allow one to progress through the Light and Dark Jing stage much quicker!

Mystic One only used three months to step past the Light and Dark Jing realms, directly becoming an Evolved Jing master!

In just over two years, she’d managed to attain a cultivation of half-step Xiantian. Such an achievement could not be accomplished without her foundations of a strong physical body!

And right now, Mystic One’s strength had already been stabilized at the primary level of the Xiantian realm. Large amounts of energy flowed through all her limbs.

At this moment, Mystic One was revolving her blood and Qi, separating the energy into two portions. One portion carried 90% of the energy and was being circulated to every part of her body, strengthening it.

The remaining 10% was used to cultivate her inner Qi.

Mystic One knew that a strong body was required if an early stage Qi refining martial practitioner wished to improve quickly and control their strength.

She also knew that she would have to make her choice ultimately. And for Mystic One, her choice was to focus mainly on body cultivation in the early stages of her martial path, while the later stages would be focused on Qi refining!

Until she reached a point where her inner Qi would strengthen her body by itself, Mystic One would continue to focus on body cultivation.

Only with a strong body could she progress quickly as a Qi refiner!

If the body was like an empty shell, no matter how much spirit herbs one took, the Qi refined by that person would definitely be unable to compare with the Qi refined by another person with a strong body!

The only exception was if one managed to reach an incredibly high level in Qi refining, allowing them to refine Qi directly from the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi around them without needing to draw it into their bodies first. At that time, it would be completely fine to discontinue body cultivation.

At that level, the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi would also clash with the body’s inner Qi. When that happened, the body would be tempered and its strength would also begin to rise slowly!

As for cultivating both paths together, that was something that had never crossed Mystic One’s mind. Mystic One was a clever person and naturally understood that there were many people who were smarter than her. However, it might not be a big issue to cultivate both the body and inner Qi at the time if one had sufficient resources.

But once one reached a certain level of strength, they would start to see just how much resources was actually needed to be a dual cultivator!

It was completely not as simple as one plus one equals two. After reaching a certain point as a dual cultivator, it would be impossible to just turn back and only cultivate one path!

Admittedly, the battle prowess of someone who cultivated both paths at the same time would be invincible within the same realm. If paired with a good set of martial techniques, it was possible to cross ranks and fight! However, there still existed a huge disadvantage in cultivating both paths!

That was, the cultivation level difference between the two paths must not be too huge. Otherwise, one would end up being unable to progress. Take for instance a scenario where the inner Qi level was on the Xiantian realm, while the body cultivation level was only at the Evolved Jing level.

Unless the martial practitioner could raise his body’s cultivation level to the Xiantian stage, it would be impossible to ever step into the Controlled Dan realm!

In other words, the further one trained on this path, the more it would feel burdensome!

If for some reason one path was impossible to follow any further, the other path would never lead to a breakthrough as well!

Of course, there were a few heaven-toppling geniuses who attained extremely great heights in both fields. However, they were an extremely small number.

All that information had been gained using the data of the Martial Practitioners Control Department. There were indeed quite a few people in the past who were not scared of death. They all felt confident that they had sufficient resources.

Adding on to the fact that they would have no opponents on the same level, even having the thrill of crossing levels to battle, many people had already gone ahead as test rats.

At the beginning, they did improve very quickly, even managing to cross ranks and fight. All these felt extremely glorious.

Many people took up dual cultivation after witnessing the benefits. But the further they went on this path, the greater the requirements for comprehension and knowledge also grew—until crossing every minor realm would require a huge amount of time and effort. In the end, they reached a point where they were invincible under the same level, even managing to cross ranks and fight!

However, the peers who they thought had been left far behind had eventually managed to catch up to their level, even pulling ahead and chucking them far behind their backs!

So what if you were unbeatable under the same realm? So what if you could cross a few minor levels and fight? My cultivation is now much higher than yours—to a point where I could kill you with a single slap!

So what if you could skip one or two level to fight? So what if you could skip an entire realm to fight? At the end of the day, it was all but dust.

From then on, the elders in every sect and clan would always remind the juniors who were beginning their cultivation that they must never bite off more than they could chew! A human’s attention and strength were limited. They could only afford to focus all their energies completely on one path and use all their efforts to go as far as possible on that single path!

“Crack!”

After a long time, a series of popping and crackling sounds rang out from Mystic One’s body. A layer of impure dirt was also forced out of her pores.

Mystic One stood to her feet and moved her limbs slowly. In that moment, she felt like her whole body was filled with power!

She had once again taken another step forward in her body cultivation. Her height had grown taller as well. From the looks of it, she was almost 1.7 meters tall!

Chapter 369: A Mountain Would Collapse If One Leaned Against It Too Much

Bei Feng sipped on his donkey soup leisurely. Unexpectedly, the energy provided by the soup was far from what the donkey meat gave him.

But this did not mean that the soup was inferior to the meat. In fact, Bei Feng felt that the effects of drinking the soup was even a bit better than eating the meat!

The pure energy rose unceasingly from his stomach, flowing directly towards his sea of consciousness, turning into a warm spring of energy and nourishing his mental power!

Even the crazy madness in his mind that caused him to feel an impulse to destroy everything was being suppressed by this energy. The feeling of this sort of mental restoration caused Bei Feng to feel a nice comfortable feeling in his heart.

“This broth has such a strong effect!”

Bei Feng opened his eyes slowly. The redness in his eyes had already disappeared, and his entire aura had also changed!

If the he before drinking the soup was surrounded by an evilness, his aura could now be described with words such as tranquility and serenity.

All the darkness and sinister aura had disappeared from him. However, Bei Feng knew that this was only temporary. As time passed, the influence of the evil source energy on him would eventually affect him, guiding his thoughts and actions slowly!

“The most important thing now is to train my mental power, as well as find a heart-calming martial technique!” Bei Feng mumbled to himself. Before he could find a way to resolve the issue of the evil source energy for good, it would be like having a blade hanging above his head!

“Boom!”

A huge sound rang out, accompanied by a huge dust cloud.

Bei Feng’s face darkened as he looked at the huge Cerberus dashing over and raised his hand.

“Wu, wu!”

Insatiable and Black Hole took one look and saw that they were about to get a beating. With a nervous yelp, they quickly bit onto the huge club on the floor and ran away, leaving a huge mess behind them in the hall.

Bei Feng felt the corners of his mouth twitching continuously. As expected, the scenario he’d envisioned had come to fruition. These two idiots had not noticed that they were far too huge now, and could no longer fit through the door.

Bei Feng looked at the Cerberus’s current size and knew that its strength must have improved greatly again. They should be at the Xiantian middle stage now, but if someone below the Controlled Dan realm of strength wanted to bully them based on their middle stage Xiantian strength, they would definitely be beaten up properly by it!

Right now, if the Cerberus’s strength was not enough for it to be invincible under Controlled Dan, it would still be close to that level.

With the innate abilities and natural advantage granted to the Cerberus, if it was the old Cerberus, its strength would probably only be equivalent to the peak of Xiantian right now.

However, this fellow could not be looked at with normal logic. Its foundations were much more stable than before, and its control over its strength was incredibly powerful. Adding its bloodline techniques into the mix, it could claim lordship even among Fake Dan experts!

Typically, Demonic Beasts needed to reach the Fake Dan stage before they could speak the human language. Of course, this was not an absolute thing. Some Demonic Beasts would only be able to open their mouths and speak when they reached a much higher realm.

Upon reaching the Controlled Dan realm, Demonic Beasts would gain the ability to manipulate their bodies with ease. That means that they could control their body size, shrinking or enlarging at will. Although they could not shrink their bodies to a ridiculous extent like the size of a needle, it was not a problem for them to remain the size of a newborn calf!

Bei Feng was completely speechless as he looked at the mess around him. He called Mystic Three and instructed him to bring some men over to clean up the place later on.

After that, he went to the yard and began to practice the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique.

---

On the other side, Jin Sanjue and Mystic Three had already taken over the entire Qingcheng Martial Practitioners Control Department. The moment the command token was taken out, the results had already been determined.

As for those people who continued to object or refused to recognize the command token, wanting to oppose Jin Sanjue and Mystic Three? They had all become cold corpses by now!

One had to know that Mystic Three’s temper was not pleasant to suffer right now. After being invaded by the evil source energy, his temperament had become much more explosive.

The world was such a beautiful place, but his heart was so irritable. As such, anyone who dared to offend him had to face his wrath! All his enemies were killed, including one of the three Evolved Jing masters in charge of Qingcheng’s Martial Practitioners Control Department.

Although Mystic Three had only absorbed a minuscule amount of evil source energy, not even amounting to a thousandth or ten thousandth of the amount that Bei Feng had absorbed, its influence on his mind was not small.

This kind of influence was more on a character kind of thing. It was like his original emotions had been locked up, only leaving a tendency for savagery, coldness, and slyness.

His cultivation had been raised to half step Xiantian back when Bei Feng had induced the huge Heaven and Earth Ling Qi storm when he was upgrading his System. With the evil source energy added to the mix now, his entire demeanor had changed to something similar to a savage beast.

His strength was not much weaker than a Xiantian primary stage expert. The current Mystic Three was more than enough to front this takeover. Killing a single Evolved Jing master was even more so an effortless task for him.

The first command Mystic Three and Jin Sanjue passed down after taking over Qingcheng’s Martial Practitioners Control Department was for all members to keep a close eye on those rich ex-residents of Blue Spirit Mountain Villas.

This matter was quite a simple and uncomplicated thing in Mystic Three’s eyes. Money-wise, he’d not shortchanged anyone. They’d even paid double the price to each person. Although a portion of them were forced to accept the money and vacate the place, he could not care less about that.

From his point of view, he’d already given out the money, and not only had he not shortchanged them, he’d paid more than he needed to. If these people were still unsatisfied and wanted to create trouble, Mystic Three would not mind teaching them a lethal lesson so that they would learn to be cleverer in their next lifetime!

Once everyone witnessed a few people getting killed, the rest quickly quietened down, not daring to make noise anymore.

Since they were able to do so well in business and grow their companies to its current state, these rich people would not be idiots. Just looking at the attitude of the Martial Practitioners Control Department this time, they knew that they’d kicked their foot against a steel plate.

A few wealthy owners who had connections with Chengdu’s Martial Practitioners Control Department immediately began to seek from help from that side and lodge their complaints that way.

Chengdu was the heart of the provincial capital. Thus, the Martial Practitioners Control Department there would naturally be stronger!

“Cousin, you must help me this time! The Martial Practitioners Control Department here are abusing their authority and killing us wantonly!”

A fat middle-aged man with a net worth of several billions was currently complaining angrily as he dialed a number.

The middle-aged man’s cousin was someone with a high position in Chengdu’s Martial Practitioners Control Department. He was someone at the peak of Evolved Jing, and in the absence of Xiantian Lords, only five to six people had a standing higher than him in Chengdu’s Martial Practitioners Control Department!

“Dammit, if you want to die, don’t drag me along with you! Qingcheng’s Martial Practitioners Control Department is now controlled by a powerful figure! If you still dare to jump about and create trouble, I’ll be the first one to smack you to death in case you end up dragging me into the grave with you!”

He Wuchang cursed freely, not bothering to leave a bit of face for kinship.

Two hours ago, Qingcheng’s Martial Practitioners Control Department had already informed their (Chengdu) side about everything, especially making an effort to emphasize the appearance of the Vice President command token on their side!

“Are you kidding? If not for me supporting you wholeheartedly in the past, providing you with all sorts of valuable resources, would you have your current accomplishments today?!”

The fat middle-aged man was stunned for a good moment before he unleashed a tirade of scolding back.

The same scenario was happening all over the place. There were quite many people with connections in Chengdu. However, they all received the same reply. None of them was to try anything funny and they had to pretend that none of these ever happened!

There was even a Xiantian expert from Chengdu who warned his family members fiercely that they had to stop all their nonsense immediately. Otherwise, he would catch them himself and bring them to the other side to receive their punishments!

After Chengdu’s Martial Practitioners Control Department received the news, they immediately sought to improve their relationships with Qingcheng’s Martial Practitioners Control Department for fear that they would end up offending a powerful figure over a small issue.

The group of people who were originally extremely unresigned to the situation also had no choice but to swallow the bitter cup of wine in the end.

This child is feeling extremely aggrieved, ah! Those guys were supposed to be our backing. But now, the backing actually said that they could not handle the load, and told me to just suck it up! Looks like leaning against a mountain too much will cause it to collapse as well!

Chapter 370: Helan Mountains

In the blink of an eye, half a month went by. Bei Feng’s life had been calm and largely undisturbed throughout this period.

Numerous peach trees had been planted by Bei Feng himself. But as for how long it would take for them to reach maturity, no one knew.

Due to the System’s rise in grade, he could only go fishing once a month. And the 18th of every month was the exact fishing date.

Today happened to be the 18th. If he did not make use of this opportunity to fish, he would be wasting time unnecessarily.

Bei Feng sat in the yard, surrounded by a sea of resplendent flowers. He held on to a fishing rod quietly.

The Golden Ebony Fishing Rod was like a long fiery stick in his hands. It was so dazzling that one could almost see a blazing fire burning wildly in it!

The fishing line had also turned completely golden, and even contained a high temperature!

Bei Feng casted the fishing line into the well, causing a black swirl to appear. The vortex was so dark that it could cause one to feel a sense of panic if they stared down at it!

A moment later, Bei Feng’s eyebrows twitched lightly as he looked at the manual in his hands wordlessly.

“Sunflower Canon… is this a manual to turn me into a eunuch?”

Bei Feng shook his head as a ball of flame appeared in his hand, instantly consuming the crimson manual.

The System originally had a pretty high evaluation towards this book, calling it one of the strongest martial techniques!

This description alone made Bei Feng spend several hundred thousand experience points to translate it. But unfortunately, it was not very useful to him.

Just the sentence: “One must first castrate themselves before they could cultivate this martial technique”, was enough to make Bei Feng flee from it!

“I’ll rather cultivate the Vajra Virginity Technique than train in this bullsh*t!”

Bei Feng didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. In that moment, he did not even intend to leave the manual behind.

Now that he thought of it, there should still be a market for this martial technique in the current times. After all, it was becoming more and more difficult nowadays to determine if the beautiful girl in front of your eyes is really a girl, or if she had a long thing hidden under her skirt…

Bei Feng retraced the fishing rod with some interest. Right now, he still had over twenty million experience points. What should he spend it on?

After a moment, he decided to translate the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique fully first, and save the rest of the experience points.

“Previously, I did not even have enough experience points to use. But now, I have too much of it. How troubling!”

Bei Feng sighed lightly as he began to translate the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique.

A full one million experience points were spent before the whole thing was completely translated. Bei Feng widened his eyes with disbelief. It didn’t even require that much experience points when he translated the upper portion of the technique the last time!

But the last three layers of the technique actually cost 200,000 experience points each!

But before he could wallow in the heartache, huge amounts of information flooded into his brain.

“Ah!”

Even with Bei Feng’s 5 star mental power, he still felt a terrible pain as though his brain was suddenly stuffed with large amounts of information.

“Earth is impermanent, Heaven is without form, and no man is perfect…”

It was as if there was a person chanting right beside Bei Feng’s ears. Large amounts of information regarding the essence and spirit of the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique was transmitted right into Bei Feng’s mind.

“Journeying through the Heavens and Earth, everything is based on the word ‘Dao’. That is also the foundations of Heavenly Laws Embodiment. As such, a practitioner of the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique is the same, a pursuer of the Dao!”

Bei Feng finally regained his consciousness after a long time. He shook his head hard to reorientate himself. But that one shake actually caused his brows to be furrowed deeper!

Right now, Bei Feng’s head was like a bunch of gooey paste. Just a light shake would bring him a huge dizziness.

Bei Feng knew that this was not the time for him to inspect his gains. He hurried into the room, then fell into a deep sleep.

A round moon hung above the tree, and a ray of gentle moonlight shone warmly on him as he slept.

Countless slivers of silver light darted towards his stellar acupoint like agile little fishes. Not only was his Evergreen Laurel Tree growing slowly, his mental power was being nourished by the moonlight, beginning to recover.

The entire Blue Spirit Mountain range had already turned into Bei Feng’s private property now, and security guards prowled the area at all times. But with only one villa to watch, they had large amounts of free time now.

A helicopter flew over and landed at the entrance of Blue Spirit Mountain Villas.

Mystic Three jumped out, his face as pale as a sickly man’s on the verge of death. However, his eyes were filled with a proud and intractable look as if he was a bloodthirsty eagle!

Bei Feng’s long white hair was tied up simply behind him. A silver pattern was emblazoned on his clean white robes, suiting his image extremely well.

Mystic One was dressed in a scarlet dress, and her crimson whip was tied around her waist like a belt.

“Boss.”

Mystic Three immediately bowed his head and lowered his face as soon as he saw Bei Feng. All his arrogance had disappeared, and in his eyes, there was only respect remaining.

“En. Let’s go.”

Bei Feng nodded his head and took the lead to board the helicopter.

Mystic One sidled up to Mystic Three with a charming smile and said, “A method of a clever person. It’s a pity that the look in your eyes changed too quickly. Otherwise, I really look forward to digging out those eyeballs of yours and collecting them.”

Mystic Three’s face turned dark and stormy, but he did not say a single word in reply. His heart was definitely filled with fear when it came to this girl. She was exactly the model of a crazy female!

The group of five quickly disappeared into the sky. Apart from Bei Feng’s group of three, the other two were the pilots.

The place they were going to this time was in the northwest. The journey was long, and Bei Feng simply shut his eyes to immerse himself in the peace.

There were still a few days left from the date stipulated in the Wang Clan’s invitation card, and Bei Feng also had the intention to take a walk around.

The Northwestern Wang Clan was situated outside the Ningxia Hui nationality autonomous region and Inner Mongolia autonomous region. They had already been there for more than 500 years!

In the northwest territory, the Wang Clan was a top grade large clan. Just the number of Xiantian Lords under their wings known to the outside world numbered no less than five!

The number of Xiantian Lords under them that was not known to the public was probably around the same as well. For a single clan to have more than 10 Xiantian Lords was already enough to count them as an overlord of an area!

This was especially so for the northwestern part of the country. As the country’s development was not very evenly spread out, some of the super-powers here had already moved their bases to the wealthier cities.

Apart from that, the strongest power in the northwest was probably the Martial Practitioners Control Department. That was because the Martial Practitioners Control Department’s main headquarters was located in the Land of Thousand Deities, Kunlun!

Of course, there was also the Helan Tribes of Helan Mountains. Although their tribes did not have any Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert, their foundations were not bad.

Bei Feng sat on the helicopter and looked down at the mountain range. As he flew over the majestic mountains, he could feel a powerful aura gush up at him!

As he viewed the grandeur of the mountains, he could see a graceful group of horses galloping across the plains. In the Mongol language, they called these mighty steeds Helan!

The northwestern Wang Clan was not far from the Helan Mountains. They were also a huge family clan only second to the Helan Tribes!

At this time, Wang Yudie was sitting in the Wang Clan residence with a downcast expression on her face. The beautiful girl who used to look like a fairy untainted by the world now had a face that was filled with frailty and troubles.

As long as one was born in the clan, it didn’t matter whether one was male or female. How could a lady remain untainted by the world? Since they enjoyed all the benefits the clan provided, they naturally had to pay the equivalent price!

The tree might wish to be still, but the winds would not cease!

Wang Yudie does not wish to partake of the filth of the world, but the decision passed down by the clan recently had caused her to descend into a troubled and helpless state.

“Elder Sister, they’re going too overboard! Those old fogies in the clan must have all gone silly in their old age to actually marry you to a guy old enough to be our father! I don’t know what father was thinking to actually agree to it!”

Wang Yuyan pushed open the door and walked in huffily.

“You… ah, you’re still acting like a grown child. Father was not wrong, and neither were we in the wrong. The fault lies in that we were born into the clan…” Wang Yudie mumbled sadly as she looked out the window. No one knew what she was thinking about in her heart.

Chapter 371: A Ghost?

The vast mansion looked rather out of place, nestled between a huge mountain and a silently flowing river. The fragrance of flowers filled the air, and verdant tall trees swayed gently in the wind.

A small creek ran through the mansion, with numerous colorful koi fishes swimming merrily within.

It was hard to imagine that such a dreamlike scene would exist in the forsaken lands of the northwest mountains. A group of servants were going about with their daily busy activities.

Wang Yudie stared out of the window, eventually settling her gaze on a small butterfly.

“How I wish that I could be like a butterfly, flying about so freely, with nothing to restrain me.”

Wang Yudie’s eyes misted slightly.

As humans living in this world, one did not live only for themselves. They also needed to live for their families.

There was no way that everything in the world could move in accordance purely to one’s whims and wishes in life. If not for their families and their parents, perhaps most people would not be dreaming of living in a huge house in the city. Perhaps, they might rather choose to lead a simpler and more fulfilling life for themselves.

However, one’s parents often acted as a set of spiritual chains in people’s hearts. No matter what decision one was making, their first thoughts would always be their families and parents.

Parents worked tirelessly all their lives to bring their children up. As such, they also hoped to see their children grow up to be fine adults with stable careers, and continue the family’s legacy.

And as one grew older, many of the things they wanted to do would dissipate like dust. When one was young, they would not have any fear, and would barge through everything and regardless if they were to smash their faces bloody.

But the moment they became parents themselves, they would start to be careful with their actions and decisions. This was only natural.

If one was alone, the ten thousand dollars in their hands would be their capital. Perhaps they might be daring enough to use the entire sum of ten thousand dollars to start a business without any hesitation!

But once a man had a wife and children with him, would that person still dare to throw everything into a business whose success or failure could not be determined?

At this time, most people would no longer dare to do that. This had nothing to do with courage. Rather, it was a newfound sense of responsibility!

Wang Yudie was in the same kind of dilemma right now. She did not like the person at all, but her entire clan had already agreed to the marriage.

Perhaps this had something to do with the betrothal gifts the clan received from the Helan Clan? This relationship would perhaps let the strength of the clan to soar another level!

The party who would benefit the most from this marriage was the Wang Clan and its later generations.

Wang Yuyan’s eyes grew puffy and red as she said with exasperation, “Elder Sis, this is too hard on you!”

The two sisters were only 22 years old this year. This was a time when a lady’s beauty was at its prime, and also a period when she held the most hope towards love!

However, Wang Yudie’s fate had already been determined with a marriage alliance!

Even though the two sisters were daughters of the clan head, they still could not escape from this fate.

The reason for this was that there were already two candidates above them to be successors of the clan. Apart from them, the girls still had two elder brothers.

“I guess so… but although I already knew that this day would come long ago, I hadn’t expected that it would be so quick. And I didn’t think that when the day came, that I would be so sad and lost, even though I thought that I had already prepared myself for it.”

Wang Yudie’s tone was calm, like the gently fluttering wings of a butterfly.

---

Bei Feng’s group had finally landed at the county after some time. This place was still several dozen kilometers away from the Wang Clan. Right now, there was still three days until the event at the Wang Clan.

Bei Feng did not intend to go over so early anyway. Leaving the pilots behind, he proceeded into the Helan Mountain range with the other two.

As they traversed through the land, Bei Feng witnessed the vastness of the northwest region for himself. The land was huge, and humans were rarely seen. Along the way, they only saw a few small villages.

Bei Feng looked at the group of handsome horses galloping across the plains, heading deeper into the mountain range.

Compared to the southern mountains, the Helan Mountains carried a stronger aura of majesty.

The southern mountains were more graceful and beautiful, and did not seem as desolate.

Most of the Helan Mountains were completely bare as though there weren’t any life there.

But upon entering the mountain range, one would discover that this was not the case. While plants appeared to be scarce here, the animals which depended on plants for survival were not few.

As they walked, they saw many a beautiful scenery that they had never seen before. They also saw some extreme lands with harsh conditions.

Groups of wild mountain goats trotted gaily alongside the steep mountain face, looking for food. Unless one witnessed such sights for themselves, it would be hard to imagine how these wild goats could possess such surprising agility!

“Yin!”

High up in the sky, a few black dots could be seen circling.

These were mountain eagles, and very little prey could escape their talons!

Mystic One and Mystic Three followed behind Bei Feng. While they did not like these desolated mountains much, they did not say much about it.

Bei Feng walked along with the speed of a normal person. Although his steps were not fast, they were very steady, as though nothing could obstruct them.

The sky slowly turned red as the sun descended and hid behind the mountains. The mountains face which had been scaled by the scorching sun the entire day also began to cool!

Soon, the sky had turned completely black, only leaving the countless blinking stars in the sky. For some reason, the stars seemed brighter when viewed on a mountain…

“You two stay here, I’ll go ahead and walk alone,” Bei Feng instructed.

“Yes!”

The two of them did not attempt to dissuade Bei Feng. Apart from making fools out of themselves, there would be no other result if they did so.

While even Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts did not dare to claim that there was no place on Earth they couldn’t reach, there was indeed no place on Earth where they didn’t dare to go. Although the sky was pitch-black at the moment, even Mystic One and Mystic Three could see the road before them clearly, much less Bei Feng.

While they did not know why Bei Feng had chosen to come here, they did not bother to ask. It would instead be a disaster if they knew something that they were not supposed to know.

Bei Feng enjoyed the desolate and lonely aura of the land as he walked, slowly feeling his mental state growing calmer and smoother.

From the moment he looked down from above in the helicopter, Bei Feng had already made up his mind to do this.

“For tens of millions of years, the Helan Mountains had stood here silently by themselves. Everyone knows of their loneliness, but what of mine?”

Bei Feng allowed the wind to blow through his hair. He had never felt a night as lonely and as dark as this!

It was like the darkness had morphed into a huge beast, drawing Bei Feng into its gaping jaws which was filled with blackness!

At this time, a shadow suddenly flitted in the distance ahead. The features of that figure could not be seen clearly, and a mist even darker than the night surrounded it.

“Who!”

Bei Feng raised his voice and called out in shock as he raised his guard.

Although he had been immersed in his thoughts for a moment, it was still impossible for just anyone to get so close to him!

One had to know that the area of 120 meters around him were constantly monitored by his mental power. But this person actually managed to appear within 100 meters of himself! This alone was enough to cause Bei Feng to feel incredulous.

Although his mental power was locked onto the figure now, he was still unable to get a sense of the figure’s appearance. He could not even detect a trace of life from it!

Seeing that the figure did not reply his question, Bei Feng cautiously moved towards it.

This area had not been established as a tourist site, so no matter how he looked at it, this person appeared extremely suspicious. Bei Feng created a fist imprint in both his hands and walked to the back of the figure.

The Bear Form Style and Eagle Form Style attacks were ready in each hand, and Bei Feng was not afraid of any kind of sudden change in the situation!

Under his wary gaze, the figure slowly turned around.

“How can this be!”

Bei Feng’s mouth fell wide open with shock in the instant that the figure turned around. The other party… actually looked exactly like him!

Wrapped in the darkness, even the hair of the other ‘him’ was also the same color as his!

Chapter 372: Shadow!

A chilling wind blew across the land, stirring up a small cloud of sand.

Bei Feng’s face was extremely unsightly as he stood atop the mountain. A deep chill rose from the depths of his heart.

“Who are you?!”

Bei Feng looked at the person before him with disbelief. This person’s appearance was exactly the same as his, without the slightest difference at all. The only thing that was different was their aura.

Bei Feng’s aura carried a hint of devilishness within the calmness, while the aura from the other figure was pure evil!

Bei Feng did not notice that the black patterns at the corner of his eyes had reappeared, shimmering coldly. This kind of sinister light was even blacker than the night. Although a normal person would not be able to see Bei Feng’s features properly in the darkness, they would still be able to see the black glow on his face clearly!

“Hur hur, I am you, and you are me! We’re one body!” the figure in black robes said with a hoarse voice as he observed the ugly look on Bei Feng’s face.

“Acting mysterious!” Bei Feng roared with rage as he smashed a bear paw forward without hesitation!

A huge claw descended from the sky, slashing towards the figure in black!

“Boom!”

A palm as big as a heavenly pillar descended from the sky, smashing the figure into pieces!

Numerous huge boulders rolled down the mountain, and the sound of them crashing to the ground only rose up after a long time.

Bei Feng turned his body around quickly and furrowed his brows as he looked at the figure that had reappeared at the other side.

“I’ve said it before, I’m you, and you are me! We’re basically one and the same. Whatever you know, I know it as well!”

The black robed figure revealed a wide smile, flashing a row of sharp teeth as he looked at Bei Feng.

“Dang!”

“How could this be!”

With a flash of his intent, Soaring Rainbow shot out of Bei Feng’s body, slashing towards the figure’s head!

But unexpectedly, another Soaring Rainbow shot out from the sleeves of the black robed figure, colliding head on with Bei Feng’s dagger, creating a flash of dazzling sparkles!

“Die!” Bei Feng hollered angrily as a huge white wing appeared on his back.

Flapping his wing furiously, Bei Feng’s speed suddenly accelerated to a rate where it was impossible for the other party to react, instantly breaking through the air with a speed six times the speed of sound!

This speed was already Bei Feng’s limit. Right now, he could even feel a ripping feeling on his body!

“Giant Bear Punch!”

“Giant Bear Punch!”

The two of them actually used the same killing technique together!

“Boom!”

A huge shock wave blasted outwards. Some of the plants were even directly smashed apart in an instant!

The movements of both figures were so fast that it was impossible to follow them with the naked eye. At the same time, their flying daggers were clashing continuously in midair!

“Eagle Bear Slash!”

Bei Feng was becoming more crazed as he fought. The more blows he exchanged with the black-robed figure, the more shocked he became in his heart. That was because the martial techniques his opponent was using were exactly the same as his!

“Eagle Bear Slash!”

Bei Feng’s heart dropped. As expected, the black robed figure knew the same killing technique as well!

The fight between the two was incredibly quick. In just one minute, they had exchanged countless blows. Numerous large rocks and boulders were sent tumbling down the mountain!

“Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique!”

Bei Feng’s body shook violently as his clothes were ripped apart. In an instant, he’d turned into a four-meter-tall giant!

A dark-red blood and Qi energy burst out of Bei Feng’s body, forming a layer of armor around him. His turbulent blood and Qi energy resembled a powerful devil or demon that’d just been birthed!

“Earth’s Hand, Impermanence!”

This was a martial technique that Bei Feng had just comprehended recently. The blood and Qi energy around Bei Feng surged violently as a strange magnetic force appeared in his hand!

This magnetic force was made up with the principles of the Earth’s magnetic force, gravitational force, magnetic field, and so on. A purple glazed light gathered in Bei Feng’s hand!

Soon, the light had formed into a palm-shaped energy the size of a hand basin. The palm was clear like crystal, and appeared dazzling and flawless like a beautiful art piece!

As if mirroring him, the black robed figure made the same action, forming an identical palm-shaped energy!

“Shu, shu!”

The two palm-shaped energy attacks did not emit any sounds, but each shot towards the opponent with the speed of lightning! As Bei Feng watched with wide eyes, the two palms collided together in midair!

Following that, numerous purple electric bolts the size of thumbs flashed out from the point of impact, quickly turning the dark sky bright with a lightning display!

“Kaboom!”

The two balls of energy grew calm for half a beat before exploding!

A terrible boom like that of heavenly thunder and of raging wave rang out!

Bei Feng and the black-robed figure did not manage to dodge in time, and were hit squarely in the face by the shock wave!

“Pu!”

Two sounds burst out as Bei Feng and the black-robed figure both spat out a huge mouthful of blood.

A huge—20-30 meter wide and 5-6 meter deep—pit had appeared between them!

An intense heat simmered in the pit, and a thick black smoke rose up into the sky continuously.

The land was completely charred as though it had been splashed with black paint.

Bei Feng felt like his limbs and organs had been shocked numb with electricity. He lost control over his blood and Qi, allowing them to rampage blindly through his veins!

“Hur hur, you are not my match! We have the same martial techniques and the same cultivation. However, you will tire while I will not!”

The black-robed figure stood up and walked over. His mouth were still dripping with black-colored blood. A sinister expression appeared on his face as he stretched out his tongue and licked the blood up.

This action immediately caused Bei Feng to feel even more agitated. This fellow had the exact same abilities and appearance as him. But could it not make such a disgusting expression while wearing his face?!

Bei Feng furrowed his brows and spat with disdain as though he’d just stepped on a pile of steaming dog poo.

The smile on the black figure’s face stiffened immediately. He had naturally seen Bei Feng’s actions.

“Who the hell are you! And don’t keep saying bullsh*t like you are me and I am you. Do you think that I will believe that?”

Bei Feng spat out some residual blood on his tongue and raised his head.

Truthfully, Bei Feng was mostly convinced by that person’s words. After all, his martial techniques were mostly not from this world. However, the other party had still managed to use them.

Bei Feng’s expression darkened. At the start, he’d thought that the black robed figure was only imitating his actions. But as they fought, he realized that even the timing that his opponent used certain skills were the same as him!

“Heh. I am you, and you are me! I am the darkness in your heart, and the evil in your soul! I guess you could call me your shadow.”

Shadow smiled widely, his teeth gleaming sinisterly under the starlight.

“You seem to be living really lethargically. Why don’t you let me eat you? Wouldn’t it be great to let me take your place in this dull world? Oh, right! I know the whereabouts of Mystic Moon as well!”

A cackling laughter drifted over. This voice seemed to be right beside Bei Feng’s ears, yet seemed as though it came from the mist!

Bei Feng seemed to have lost his soul as the voice wormed itself into his mind. The light in his eyes dimmed slowly, turning empty and void.

Shadow continued talking, his voice strangely enchanting, like the calls of the devil himself. It caused one to feel like giving in to its requests uncontrollably!

A huge grin surfaced on Shadow’s face as an undisguised excitement flashed across its eyes. As long as it swallowed Bei Feng, it would obtain a brand new life!

“Sha!”

“How…”

A bright sound like something cutting through cloth sounded out suddenly. Shadow looked down at the golden line wrapping around its body as his eyes widened with shock. His disbelief were stuck in his mouth, choked like a duck gripped by its neck.

“You said that you’re my shadow? Since even I don’t know where Mystic Moon is, how the hell would you know it? Besides that, I wonder if you have the Golden Ebony Fishing Rod as well?”

Bei Feng grinned widely, displaying eight bloody teeth.

“AH! I’ll be back! I’ll definitely return!” An ear-piercing scream rang out as Shadow struggled violently.

Bei Feng shook the Golden Ebony Fishing Rod lightly, instantly setting the hair-thin fishing line ablaze!

“Po!”

A light sound rang out, like an illusion being dispelled. The surroundings began to change and the mist disappeared.

The mountain was still a mountain, and Bei Feng was still standing on the same spot. He was still holding the Golden Ebony Fishing Rod in his hands. The only thing that confirmed that all these had not been a dream was the terrible scene of desolation around him!

Chapter 373: Meeting Wang Yuyan Again

The mountain peak was completely smashed to a sorry extent, confirming that what happened was not a dream.

However, Bei Feng did not think that this was real, either.

“From the beginning, I was the only one unleashing those attacks. It’s just that the illusion was too strong and I couldn’t see through it!” Bei Feng muttered with some fear.

“Is that the evil source energy’s retaliation? How powerful! I almost fell to it.”

Bei Feng felt some lingering fear in heart. If not for a flash of inspiration, directly using the Golden Ebony Fishing Rod, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

“If I were to really die just now, would I really be replaced by a shadow?”

Bei Feng did not dare to confirm this thought. But one thing he was sure of was that if he had not broken the illusion earlier, he would definitely have died!

Bei Feng shook his head, unwilling to linger on the thought. Only, he started to raise his guard in his heart.

At this time, a red line finally appeared on the horizon as the sun rose over the mountains.

“It felt like only a short moment had gone by, but an entire night had actually passed!”

Bei Feng finally understood how terrifying the evil source energy was. Without knowing, one’s consciousness would be dragged in by it, unable to extricate themselves!

After evaluating his injuries, Bei Feng loosed a sigh of relief.

His organs had shifted somewhat, and his blood and Qi energy had been overdrawn. But these would all recover with a few days rest.

On a mountain a distance away, one could see all kinds of wild flowers blooming resplendently. The flowers grew in large patches and looked extremely dazzling.

Bei Feng cast his gaze over the horizon for a moment before turning away. Mystic One and Mystic Three had remained at the same spot as last night, not moving away.

High up another mountain peak, Bei Feng began to prepare breakfast.

“Using the donkey meat to repress the evil source energy influence is not a long-term solution. If it was repressed for a long time, the rebound will be even stronger!”

Bei Feng furrowed his brows with worry. Donkey meat by itself already had a mind-calming effect, not to mention this third level donkey Demonic Beast.

But unfortunately, the evil source energy was not such a simple thing to deal with, either. That thing was the source of ten thousand evils!

“Unfortunately, I can only depend on this to repress the evil source energy for now. To remove is better than to suppress. However, I really don’t have any other solutions now.”

Bei Feng shook his head. Seeing that the meat in the pot had turned soft and the thick aroma of the broth was rising up, he began to eat immediately.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. The surrounding areas had all been visited by Bei Feng’s group at least once during this time.

Ultimately, Bei Feng realized that he still could not meld into this kind of environment. It was like he was just a visitor.

The Northwestern Wang Clan was currently decorated with joyful colors. The servants were also up to their noses with work.

“Patriach Ge! A rare guest, a rare guest indeed! I haven’t expected that you would make the journey. Haha, come! This way please, this way please!”

Wang Hong stood at the door receiving the guests with a suave smile on his face.

“Haha, Wang family head is too courteous!”

Ge Biao smiled jovially and followed Wang Hong into the inner halls. At this time, there were already quite a number of people in the inner hall.

Wang Hong was the family head of the Wang Clan. Where would he have the energy to stand at the doorway all day long receiving guests? Only some esteemed guests would require him to come out to receive them personally.

As for those small clans that did not even have a single Xiantian Lord, they were not even allowed into the inner hall.

This was what it meant by making dishes for different types of people. Guests could be found everywhere in the mansion, but only powerful clans with at least a Xiantian Lord overseeing them would have the rights to enter the inner hall.

The Wang Clan was considered a top-tier power in the northwest region. Furthermore, the marriage alliance between the Wang Clan and the Helan Tribes was something that affected everyone in the northwest region.

“Wang family head has truly given birth to a good daughter!” an old man praised as he clasped his hands and laughed aloud. A few faint traces of mockery could be seen in his eyes.

‘That old bastard!’

The smile on Wang Hong’s face stiffened as he looked at the coarse laughter on the old man’s face. Was that old bastard taking a roundabout manner to say that he was selling his own daughter?

Another middle aged man stepped out and said, “Haha, by the way, doesn’t Wang family head have another daughter? How about forming a marriage with my clan as well?”

Wang Hong laughed loudly and said, “Haha, that will have to depend on what my daughter thinks. It’s a liberal society we’re living in, and us as elders cannot have too much of a say on whom the girl fancies. It’s too old-fashioned to be talking about arranged marriage nowadays!”

‘Shameless! This old bastard is becoming more and more shameless by the day!’

‘Ai, why don’t I have a pair of daughters like that in my own clan?’

‘The way he speaks is as if his daughter willingly chose to marry a forty-something-year-old man! Is she blind?’

Everyone pursed their lips with disbelief. Wang Hong that old fellow did not even blink when speaking such outrageous lies!

Still, everyone knew what Wang Hong meant. Unique items were naturally more valuable!

The Wang Sisters were publicly acknowledged as the two most dazzling pearls in the northwest region. Their beauty and charm were known to be top tier.

It was impossible to tell just how many young men in the northwest martial world had fallen in love with the two beauties. However, all of them were now sitting in the outer hall, drowning their sorrows in wine.

Esteemed guests flowed in endlessly. Today was only the engagement day. There was still a period of time needed to prepare for the actual ceremony.

Bei Feng’s group of three also arrived outside the Wang Clan manor and handed over their invitation card. After that, they were respectfully led to the outer yard.

His group occupied an entire table and as he looked at the colorful decorations around him, Bei Feng also felt some interest bloom in his heart.

“Helan Tribe arrives!”

A clear shout rang out from the gates.

Following that, Wang Hong could be seen walking over with a large group of the Wang Clan’s top executives following closely behind him.

To the Wang Clan, the Helan Tribe was akin to a God of Fortune! The betrothal gift they’d prepared this time was worth three times as much as the Wang Clan’s accumulation of over several hundred years!

That was an extremely shocking number, signifying that the might of their clan would be able to soar greatly after that!

Wang Yuyan and Wang Yudie was among the group, and their expressions were rather dark.

A group of people dressed like cavemen walked in with huge crates of valuable resources being carried in behind them.

These people were slightly taller than the average person, and they were mostly clothed in either beast skins or coarse sack clothes.

The females had strange patterns on their faces, looking like tattooed runes yet like random drawings.

The group directly proceeded into the inner hall. Only Wang Yuyan faltered in her steps, remaining outside.

The group of youngsters outside looked up with delight at this. Although the elder sister was getting married, there was still the younger sister!

Bei Feng took a sip from his cup of tea and instructed casually, “Mystic One, go and invite her over.”

“Understood.”

Mystic One had a strange look on her face. Could it be that the boss had taken a liking to this girl?

‘Hmph! Other than her chest being a little bigger, she doesn’t seem superior to me in any other way!’ Mystic One thought and pouted as she walked over. The way she looked at Wang Yuyan also turned a shade more unfriendly.

“My boss wants to meet you. Come with me.”

Mystic One stepped out and raised her hand. Her hands were like a pair of fish, easily diving through the crowd and separating Wang Yuyan from the people surrounding her. Her face was expressionless, and her voice was cold and chilling.

“You are?”

Wang Yuyan widened her eyes slightly with surprise. From the way she looked, this girl didn’t seem very friendly!

Mystic One did not reply and directly led Wang Yuyan to Bei Feng’s table.

Since she was in the Wang Clan, Wang Yuyan did not fear anything.

“Long time no see.”

Bei Feng smiled lightly as he looked at the girl before him. It’d been a few years since they last met. Seems like the girl had grown up a little.

Bei Feng did not notice anything strange about his thoughts. It was as though he’d forgotten that he was also a young man under 30.

Wang Yuyan looked a bit absentminded as she looked at Bei Feng. A moment passed before she finally remembered to ask, “May I know who Sir is?”

“That year back at the Yarlung Zangbo grand canyon, you can be considered to have saved my life. This time, you’re the one who sent me the invitation letter as well. How come you can’t recognize me now?” Bei Feng replied with a chuckle.

Wang Yuyan felt a little fuzziness in her brain as she sat across Bei Feng. Who would have thought that this person would have changed so much in the span of a few short years!

Chapter 374: Leave Your Hand Behind

In a carefree garden jungle similar to Jiangsu’s waterways, numerous people were gathered in groups and chatting leisurely. The servants were rushing about looking exceptionally busy, even though no one knew what they were busy with.

Wang Yuyan was simply looking at Bei Feng with wide eyes. This was completely due to curiosity. How could a person change so drastically?

Back at Yarlung Zangbo grand canyon when she first met Bei Feng, he seemed like a sharp sword, extremely domineering.

But now, he just seemed like a normal person. Although he looked rather youthful, she could feel a sense of age in him as though he’d experienced the myriad vicissitudes of life.

This had nothing to do with age. Rather, it was something formed from one’s experiences in life.

“This is something I promised you that time; an item of equivalent value to the Reishi King spirit herb, the Dragon Tiger Pill! As long as an Evolved Jing master consumes this, they will be able to breakthrough to the Xiantian realm with 100 percent certainty!

Of course, the flaw of this thing is also very obvious. Once one relies on it to break through, they will be stuck in the Xiantian realm forever, never to proceed further!”

Two small boxes appeared on the table with a wave of Bei Feng’s hand.

He opened the boxes lightly, revealing the pills inside. As he did so, a thick pill fragrance drifted out.

“Mmh? What’s that smell? It’s so nice!”

“Those are pills! And not just any regular pills!”

Although Bei Feng had only opened the box for a short moment and closed it again immediately, the pill fragrance had still spread outwards.

The guests from the other tables quickly turned around and looked at the box in front of Bei Feng. Quite obviously, the fragrance had come from there.

“Are the pills really as amazing as you said?”

Wang Yuyan’s eyes shook unsteadily, somewhat unwilling to believe such a good thing.

How difficult was it to reach the Xiantian realm? The entire Wang Clan only had about 10 in total. Of of those 10, six were over a hundred years old. In the last century, only four people managed to break through to the Xiantian realm. As for the recent years, only Wang Hong managed to breakthrough!

From this, one could see just how difficult it was to reach that realm! Although Bei Feng seemed to have met lots of Xiantian experts, that was because the circle of people he came into contact with was different! If one was strong, the people they came into contact with would naturally also be of the strong!

“Of course! This can be considered as fulfilling one of the three favors I owe you.”

Bei Feng carried a light smile on his face as he looked at the innocent expression on Wang Yuyan’s face. In that moment, he felt the burden in his heart lessen by a lot.

“Wait a while, I’ll get my father to come and take a look!”

Wang Yuyan leapt up and ran off.

“Boss, are we really giving this Dragon Tiger Pills to the Wang Clan?” Mystic Three asked tentatively.

“For the current me, the Dragon Tiger Pills are not anything worth a mention at all. Could it be that you want one for yourself?” Bei Feng asked with a smile that was not a smile.

“This subordinate deserves death!”

Mystic Three’s face paled as he hurriedly bowed his head. He would be able to break through to the Xiantian realm by himself with just a little more time. Consuming the Dragon Tiger Pill now would be the same as cutting off his own path!

A group of people walked over to Bei Feng. The one in the lead was a young man, and he had an amiable smile on his face as he clasped his hands and asked, “Friend, I am from Qingzhou’s Yang Clan. May I ask where these pills came from?”

“Mount Longhu.”

Bei Feng took another sip out of his cup and furrowed his brows lightly. Although this tea was good, it didn’t have the taste he was looking for.

“I wonder if this friend her is willing to sell the pills to me? I can definitely offer a good price to trade for them. How does three stalks of third grade spirit herbs sound?”

Yang Feng looked extremely sincere and gave others a comfortable feeling.

However, Bei Feng did not bother to look at him, and was minding his own business, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

When Yang Feng saw Bei Feng closing his eyes he’d already sowed a seed of hatred in his heart from the beginning. No one had dared to slight him like this in all these years of his life. In that moment, he moved to open the box and take a look at the goods. He didn’t care if Bei Feng was willing or not, and his words were only a form of formality. But before his fingers could touch the jade box, a cold voice sounded next to his ear.

“Leave your hand behind and go. Otherwise, I don’t mind slaughtering you here and now.”

Yang Feng’s body stiffened for a moment and he retracted his hand as he regarded Bei Feng with unfriendly eyes.

Although that fellow had a head of white hair, he was obviously not old. The two following him were also youngsters. From the looks of it, this guy should just be the successor of some small clan.

Yang Feng laughed coldly as he finished measuring Bei Feng. This thing that couldn’t tell life from death actually dared to speak to him like that? One had to know that the strength of his clan was not inferior to even that of their host, the Wang Clan!

The middle aged man behind Yang Feng stepped out and spat in a low voice, “Preposterous! It’s your honor that our Young Master is willing to speak with you!”

There was nothing extraordinary about his looks, except for his red palms which caused one to be unable to forget him after just seeing him once.

“I’ll trouble Uncle Yang to help me bring the pills over her for me to take a look.”

Yang Feng nodded and signaled the middle-aged man with his eyes.

Yang Tielan boldly walked to the table and stretched out his hand to grab the jade box.

Bei Feng did not even look at him. But from the eyes of the crowd, he looked like he had been scared silly to a point where he didn’t dare to say anything.

Yang Tielan’s aura was simply too overbearing. He was like a fiery furnace, sending heat waves roiling out from him in all directions. From this, one could tell immediately that he was an Evolved Jing master, and he was not a weak one at that.

“Since you’ve stretched out your hand, just leave it behind!”

Just as Yang Tielan’s fingers came into contact with the jade box, his face suddenly contorted drastically. A crimson whip had appeared at an unknown time, coiling around his arm!

“Sha!”

“AHH!”

Mystic One smiled warmly, but her eyes were cold to a frightful extent. With a light tug of the whip, it tightened around Yang Tielan’s arm in an instant!

Without expending much effort, Tielan’s arm was completely ripped off his shoulder!

A wretched cry rang out, spreading through the entire yard!

One had to say that Evolved Jing masters were truly powerful experts! Even their cries were so bright and clear!

A sprout of blood spurted from Tielan’s shoulder, dying the ground red. At this point, Tielan’s forehead was filled with large droplets of sweat. However, his willpower was exceedingly strong!

Gritting his teeth with pain, he forcefully jabbed at a few areas around his shoulder, causing the blood flow to lessen greatly before finally stopping.

“Audacious! You’re looking for death to dare to challenge my Yang Clan! Today, I’ll let you experience what it means to wish for death!”

Yang Feng exploded with rage. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that those ragtag bunch of people would actually dare to retaliate! Furthermore, they actually crippled an Evolved Jing master with a single strike!

Yang Tielan’s cultivation path was such that his strength was mostly concentrated onto his palms. Even if his arm was reattached, his overall battle prowess would still drop greatly!

Just as Yang Feng was prepared to lead the five, six experts behind him to fight, Yang Tielan suddenly screamed out while gritting his teeth with pain, “Hold it!”

“Uncle Yang?”

Yang Feng looked towards Yang Tielan in confusion.

“The matter today ends here. May senior please show forgiveness,” Yang Tielan said respectfully.

Yang Feng’s face alternated between green and white as he looked at his Uncle Yang. Those who could cause Yang Tielan to show so much respect were only Xiantian Lords!

But looking at Mystic One’s young face, how could someone of her age be a Xiantian Lord!

Although the Yang Clan was powerful, they could not afford to offend Xiantian Lords for no good reason! Unless, of course, they had the confidence to kill the opponent in one strike!

“It’s possible to be spared from a death penalty, but it’s hard to escape a living punishment. Mystic One, go and cripple his cultivation,” Bei Feng instructed casually.

“Yes!”

Mystic One nodded her head lightly and stepped out towards Yang Feng with her long red whip trailing behind her.

“I’m the son of the Yang Clan’s clan leader! You dare! There’s over 10 Xiantian Lords under our clan. Are you forcing the Yang Clan to form a death grudge with you?!”

Seeing Mystic One walking closer and closer to him, Yang Feng hurriedly backed off and hid behind the five, six experts he’d brought. As he ran, he did not forget to raise his voice and challenge Mystic One. His eyes were filled with anger and venom!

In his heart, he was wondering where the elder had gone off to. The Yang Clan had actually arrived under the lead of a Xiantian Lord this time. Originally, their purpose was just to bring Yang Feng over to take a look and, at the same time, see if he could strike up a good relationship with Wang Yuyan. As long as the elder arrived quickly, he would no longer have anything to fear!
