Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 352 - 349: Regaining the Treasure
Chapter 352: Chapter 349: Regaining the Treasure
In the grey, sinister fog, Xiu Xin held the Gathering Yin Banner, from which a strange Yin Qi fell and enveloped around the two of them, masking the vitality emanating from their bodies.
The two cautiously trekked deeper into the Dragon Tomb, relying on Xiu Xin’s enhanced sensitivity to Dead Souls to avoid the Undead Dragons wandering in the lethal fog of the Dragon Tomb.
According to the plan they had agreed on, the first step was to help Xiu Xin suppress a Fire Element Dragon Soul. Otherwise, once they harvested the Dragon Spirit Fruit, there would be no chance to subdue the Dragon Soul.
However, not all Giant Dragons’ souls remained in the tomb after death. Only a minority transformed into Undead Dragons here. Considering the diversity of Giant Dragons across different elements, and adding to that the varying strengths of these Undead Dragons – too powerful to confront, yet too weak for Xiu Xin to bother with – they encountered several dozens of Undead Dragons before he finally found a suitable Fire Element Undead Dragon.
Then, Xiu Xin set up a Yin-Locking Array using the dense Death Qi in the Dragon Tomb and created some disturbances to lure that Undead Dragon over.
As soon as the Undead Dragon entered the range of the Yin-Locking Array, Xiu Xin unleashed all his methods, deploying a plethora of techniques aimed at Ghosts, dazzling Qin Feng with the flurry of actions.
Soul Suppressing Seal, Evil Exorcism Peach Wood Sword, Soul-Locking Chain, Soul Beating Whip, Soul Shaking Bell, Ghost Nourishing Gourd – these Magical Treasures were all deployed by Xiu Xin in an instant. Then, with a wave of his hand, thirty-six Sealing Ghost Talismans turned into a giant red net, trapping the Undead Dragon Soul within.
Initially, he did not possess so many Magical Treasures, but as a True Disciple of the Ghost Controlling Sect, the Spiritual Artifacts he carried were the finest of the fine. Similar to Qin Feng’s Sky Battle Halberd, they were semi-Magical Treasure level Treasures. After Xiu Xin attained the Golden Core, he spent some time refining all his possessions into Magical Treasures, significantly enhancing his combat power.
However, the trapped Undead Dragon had been very strong in life, and its Soul Body after death possessed the strength of a high-level Level Eight Demon Beast, with spiritual power even nearing Level Nine, potentially reaching the realm of a Level Nine Undead Creature if it continued to cultivate here for a few hundred more years.
Thus, even with Xiu Xin’s full effort, he could not suppress the Undead Dragon quickly, and there was even a chance it could break free from the imprisonment and escape from the Yin-Locking Array.
Fortunately, Qin Feng was there to assist.
In fact, simply deploying his Healing Divine Power, emanating strong life force and Light Power, was the best approach against Undead Beings.
However, his goal in helping Xiu Xin subdue this Undead Dragon was not to destroy it; thus, Qin Feng of course could not use such Spirit suppression techniques. Otherwise, a careless move might scatter the Dragon Soul, which would be a pity.
So, Qin Feng used the Ruyi Golden Light, turning it into chains that bound the Dragon Soul, aiding Xiu Xin in trapping the Undead Dragon.
Then, he released the Swallowing Sky Toad, allowing it to use the Star Power to form a Star Barrier that sealed the Dragon Soul.
After its upgrade to Demon Core, the Swallowing Sky Toad’s strength had greatly increased, becoming even more adept at controlling Space Power. It could seal the Demon Qi within its body, preventing it from emanating too strong a presence, thus not drawing the attention of other Undead Dragons.
If it had been the Fire Ape instead, that would not work.
The Fire Ape, being large and bursting with vitality and violent flames, would certainly conflict with the surrounding dense Yin Qi even if the Yin-Locking Array tried to mask its presence.
Under the suppression of Xiu Xin’s many treasures, with the assistance of Qin Feng and Swallowing Sky Toad, even such a formidable Undead Dragon, continuously emitting Netherworld Fire and thrashing wildly, could not withstand their combined assault.
In just a moment, they had suppressed it within the Yin-Locking Array, rendering it immobile. Then, Xiu Xin sealed it in the Ghost Nourishing Gourd.
“Haha…”
Even with Xiu Xin’s usual composure, he couldn’t help but burst into exultant laughter at this moment.
Having this Dragon Soul was tantamount to securing his path to advancing to the Purple Mansion, a celebratory event for any Cultivator, and he was naturally overjoyed.
“Many thanks for your assistance, Daoist Fellow.”
Xiu Xin couldn’t help but express his thoughts, “Indeed, fortunes are gained through travels abroad. But traversing to such a remote world as you and I is indeed rare!”
Qin Feng chuckled lightly and waved his hand casually, “This place is still fraught with dangers for us. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, we should quickly harvest the Dragon Spirit Fruit and leave this place.”
“That would indeed be best.”
Xiu Xin nodded, put away the array, and lifted the Gathering Yin Banner, then continued onward with Qin Feng towards the inner area where the highest number of Dragon Spirit Fruits were found.
“Unfortunately, I can’t summon a Guardian Angel here, otherwise with the combat power of a Four-Winged Angel, we would definitely defeat several Undead Dragons, and the Angel’s Light Power would surely attract most of the Undead Dragons in the Dragon Tomb.”
Qin Feng sighed lightly, “Alas, the Angel is only meant to protect my safety and does not completely obey me. I have previously summoned the Angel to assist in battles in inappropriate places twice; he must already be suspicious. Summoning him to the Dragon Tomb might lead to him conversing with the Undead Dragons there, which would be troublesome.”
If the Angel had definitely obeyed his command, Qin Feng would have summoned him when subduing the White Dragon and the two Nine-Headed Snakes would not have escaped from Qin Feng’s grasp.
Xiu Xin smiled and said, “I have also read some records about Angels during my travels in various countries. After all, they originated from the Divine Clan, with insights and vision, not among the ignorant. Deceiving them once or twice would work, but you can’t expect them to be of constant service to you.”
Qin Feng nodded.
He just mentioned it casually; it was not a true regret. Just using the Angel against the Rock Giant during his time in the Underground World had yielded rich rewards, which had already satisfied him greatly.
Besides, he couldn’t always treat the Angel as a tool.
The two walked for a long while, entering two hundred miles deep into the Dragon Tomb, nearly reaching the core area. At this point, they dared not proceed further.
They distinctly felt the stronger Yin Qi here, and the Undead Dragons were more formidable, including some reaching level nine.
Of course, the number of Dragon Spirit Fruits here was also greater, with one appearing every seven or eight miles.
After careful consideration, the two chose this area.
Mainly because it had the Dragon Spirit Fruits that Qin Feng needed.
He had previously obtained the Fire Element and Light Element Dragon Spirit Fruits, so this time he mainly selected other types.
Particularly the Gold and Wood Element Dragon Spirit Fruits, which Qin Feng needed most at the moment.
The Wood Element Dragon Spirit Fruits could enhance his Azure Dragon Daoist Body’s strength and cultivation speed, while the Gold Element Dragon Spirit Fruits could deepen his understanding of the Gold Element Daoist Skill. More importantly, he could use them to deduce and refine the technique of Melt Gold and Iron, which would be a significant contribution to his Sect once successful.
On a Giant Dragon Tomb resembling a small hill, a thriving three-foot tree bore a cyan Dragon Spirit Fruit.
It was the fruit of the Dragon Spirit Tree, which sprouted from a dead Plant Type Green Dragon, containing not only massive vitality but also the essence of the Plant Type Green Dragon’s power.
“The marvels created by the heavens and the earth are truly breathtaking.”
Xiu Xin exclaimed, “Who would have thought that, in such a Land of Death, a natural treasure filled with pure life could grow!”
“Indeed.”
Qin Feng also said, “Yin and Yang creation, life born from death, the mysteries of Dao, beyond our comprehension as mere Golden Core Cultivators.
Without entering the Purple Mansion, it’s difficult to touch Heavenly Dao; without becoming a True Immortal, it’s hard to achieve the Law. We should still encourage each other and strive harder in the future.”
“Daoist Fellow speaks the truth.”
After reflecting, Xiu Xin stretched out his hand to set a Shielding Breath Prohibition around Qin Feng and then said, “I will head to the next location now. Time your actions, and in half a quarter-hour, we’ll act simultaneously to pick the Dragon Spirit Fruits. We’ll meet at the Dragon Tomb twenty miles away where the Dragon Spirit Fruits are located, and including the two we encounter on the way, that makes a total of five fruits, which should be sufficient for your cultivation.”
Qin Feng clasped his hands, “This time, I’m indebted to Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin.”
“No need for such formality, Daoist Fellow.”
Xiu Xin gave a slight bow in return and immediately, merging with his Lifebound Spiritual Ghost, Chi Xiao, he vanished into the deadly fog, flying toward a Dragon Spirit Tree located ten miles away.
Qin Feng timed the moment, and as soon as half a quarter-hour had passed, he stepped out from the prohibition that cloaked his aura, activated the Shrinking Ground to Inch Divine Power, and within a couple of steps, he had walked atop the Dragon Tomb, plucked a Dragon Spirit Fruit, and placed it into a jade box.
“Roar…”
No sooner had he appeared and taken the Dragon Spirit Fruit than he startled the nearby Undead Dragon.
Not only was the Dragon Spirit Fruit uniquely potent and within the sensory range of the Undead Dragon, but Qin Feng was also a living person whose life soul aura was easily visible through the death fog to the Undead Dragon.
Especially since it had only been a little over a year since Qin Feng’s last uproar in the Dragon’s Grave, where he had stolen two Dragon Spirit Fruits, not only were the Undead Dragons alert, but one of them even recognized Qin Feng as the Human Clan thief from before.
Thus, with a furious roar from it, the previously silent and still Dragon’s Grave erupted into chaos, with hundreds of Undead Dragons flapping their wings and rushing over from the fog afar. Even from the deeper core areas, several formidable presences emerged and started moving toward him.
Qin Feng was startled by the response of his Divine Sense.
He realized then that the Undead Dragons indeed held grudges.
However, his strength was no longer comparable to the past; back when he was merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could gain some advantage. Now that he had reached Golden Core Great Success and possessed many Divine Skills, although he couldn’t match the powerful Undead Dragons in a prolonged battle, escaping from an ordinary Undead Dragon’s pursuit in the short term posed no problem.
Qin Feng’s movements were incredibly fast, pushing his Shrinking Ground to Inch Divine Power to its limits, taking a hundred feet in a single step. Within mere moments and just a few dozen steps, he arrived at another Dragon Spirit Tree some miles away. He quickly picked the gold-element Dragon Spirit Fruit, flashed away from an Undead Dragon’s Netherworld Fire Breath, and swiftly dodged another approaching Undead Dragon, running towards the meeting point agreed with Xiu Xin.
As the roars of the Undead Dragons echoed, those super strong Undead Dragons lurking deep in the Dragon Tomb also became aware of the situation’s severity. Not only had that thief who stole the Dragon Spirit Fruits returned, but he now also had an accomplice, and between them, they had already taken several Dragon Spirit Fruits.
If they couldn’t completely stop them this time, there was a risk that these two, having tasted the reward, might sneak in again to steal their treasures.
Thus, even those super Undead Dragons, generally loath to move, hastened their pace and flew energetically toward the area.
Their formidable presences left Qin Feng and his companion quaking.
The two of them raced ahead as fast as possible as they needed to meet up quickly.
Especially Xiu Xin, he needed to meet Qin Feng; otherwise, if delayed, Qin Feng would have to activate the Transmission Array Plate on his body, potentially leaving Xiu Xin alone to face countless Undead Dragons!
So in that moment, Xiu Xin was even more anxious than Qin Feng, boosting his speed at the expense of his essence blood by using a secret technique, his body blurring past several obstructing Undead Dragons like a wisp of blue smoke, racing towards the Dragon Tomb where the Dragon Spirit Fruit lay.
However, when it came to speed, Qin Feng was still faster.
His legs moved as if whirlwinds, quickly covering the distance to the Dragon Spirit Fruit. Even several Undead Dragons approaching to block his path misjudged his speed due to unfamiliarity with the Shrinking Ground to Inch Divine Power, allowing him to dodge their attacks preemptively.
As Qin Feng once again plucked a Dragon Spirit Fruit, the super Undead Dragons rushing forward saw this scene and let out continuous roars, their overwhelming might bearing down on the pair like a blanket covering the sky.
“Xiu Xin, even faster!” Qin Feng urgently shouted, moving directly towards Xiu Xin.
He needed to immediately activate the Guiding Array Plate, as even Elder Kongkong would need some time to guide him from the Red Flame Demon Realm, and he did not want to wait for those super Undead Dragons to arrive and squash them.
Xiu Xin let out a short shout and, moving like lightning, swiftly arrived in front of Qin Feng, threw a couple of jade boxes from his sleeve pouch to Qin Feng, and then summoned a folded fan. He transformed into blue smoke and entered the fan which, with a shake, also ended up in Qin Feng’s hand.
Qin Feng flung his sleeves, storing the two jade boxes thrown by Xiu Xin, grabbed the folded fan, instantly triggered the Guiding Array Plate on his body, and then sprinted towards the outer perimeter of the Dragon Tomb.
He needed to get as far away from those super Undead Dragons as possible before he was transported away.
Otherwise, who knows if those fellows would have some special way of attacking or if they would kill him with a powerful spiritual shockwave. If that happened, even if he were retrieved, Elder Kongkong would be retrieving nothing but a corpse.
Fortunately, Elder Kongkong turned out to be reliable just as Qin Feng was about to be overtaken by the Undead Dragons. Spatial fluctuations transmitted, pulling him towards the deeper recesses of the space.
“Roar…”
A group of Undead Dragons chasing behind him roared furiously, especially a few of the Super Undead Dragons who were closing in. Their eyes boiled with Netherworld Fire, and their powerful spiritual power swept across the void, attempting to flatten the spatial fluctuations and leave Qin Feng behind.
Unfortunately, although they were powerful, compared to Elder Kongkong, they were outclassed by far more than a thousand times. Under the guidance of Elder Kongkong, although Qin Feng still inevitably endured some spiritual shock, it was minor. Before the Super Undead Dragons could reach him, Qin Feng’s figure was already enveloped by a thin barrier, sinking into deeper space.
However, he turned his eyes slightly, forcefully summoned his energy, and from his viscera, he forced out a mouthful of congealed blood, then turned his face slightly pale, mimicking the appearance of someone who had suffered a spiritual shock.
A crying child always gets more attention. Returning in such a pitiful state, he should also receive more rewards from the Sect elders!
Qin Feng looked back and could vaguely still see a large group of Undead Dragons, furiously spewing Dragon Breath at him. Unfortunately, their attacks couldn’t even break the space barrier, let alone harm him.
Within the spatial channel, the figure of Qin Feng moved as swiftly as electricity, constantly traveling through layers of space towards a distant dark red star.

After watching for a moment and feeling that it would still take some time to return to the Red Flame Demon Realm, Qin Feng opened the folded fan in his hand and looked inside.
Within the fan were mountains and waters, flowers and grass, pavilions and towers, houses and courtyards.
Qin Feng saw inside one of the rooms within the fan, Xiu Xin was sitting opposite a bride dressed in wedding attire, her head covered by a large red bridal veil.
“Daoist Fellow, you are quite fortunate to be playing the role of keeping a beauty in a gilded cage. Truly enviable to others!”
In the room, Xiu Xin, who was sitting opposite the Ghost Bride, couldn’t help but give a bitter smile: “Why must Daoist Brother tease me? Shiniang is also a woman with a hard fate. She encountered unkind people in life and died wrongfully. After I dissolved her resentment, although she recovered her former nature, her temperament is somewhat mischievous and odd. Plus, with her obsessions from her lifetime, jokes are off-limits; otherwise, I will suffer in the future.”
“Oh?”
Qin Feng said in surprise, “Does this bride also wish to find a husband to fulfill her wishes? If so, Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin might as well satisfy the lady’s earnest wish. It would be better than letting her remain lonely and live her days alone.”
Hearing Qin Feng’s words, before Xiu Xin could respond, the Ghost Bride nodded repeatedly, obviously very much in agreement with what Qin Feng said.
“What nonsense are you talking about, why are you nodding blindly?”
Xiu Xin, angered, looked a bit ugly. If it weren’t for his well-practiced Qi cultivation skill, he might have stretched out his hand to knock on her head a few times.
He just worried that if he stretched out his hand, the bridal veil on the Ghost Bride might get tangled in his hand, and then he would inadvertently lift it, which would lead to bigger problems later.
“Aren’t you curious about the bride’s appearance?”
Qin Feng, after stirring up trouble from outside, watched happily as Xiu Xin dealt with the Ghost Bride inside: “Imagine the bride must be a beauty, she won’t disappoint you. Lift the veil and see; I will definitely send a congratulatory gift later!”
Xiu Xin became anxious: “If you want to see, why don’t you come in and look yourself, why incite me?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Ghost Bride across him became unhappy, pulling at his sleeve angrily, obviously blaming him for casually pushing her to someone else.
Helplessly, Xiu Xin had to comfort her for a good while before he managed to calm the Ghost Bride’s emotions.
