Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 374 - 371: Senior Brother Qin, It’s Me

Chapter 374: Chapter 371: Senior Brother Qin, It’s Me

Ning Wuxu did not pay attention to the second disciple’s sadness, feeling that putting some pressure on Hao Shicheng would be beneficial for this disciple.

Then, he rode the Light Escape and quickly flew back to Heavenly Snake Ridge with several disciples.

Gazing at the familiar courtyard, Ning Wuxu couldn’t help but sigh lightly, “Although this expedition only lasted a few years, we’ve experienced quite a lot. It almost feels as if I’ve lived through another lifetime!”

“Yes,”

Zhao Qiankun took over, “Honestly, until now, I still find it hard to believe. Hearing about those Major Sects from the Southern Domain, some of which had ventured into the void and attacked otherworlds decades before our Beast Taming Sect, only one of them managed to send back some news. The rest have yet to establish any communication through space.

Yet here we are, not only did we conquer the Red Flame Demon Realm within a few years, but Ancestor Martial Uncle Gui Ling even managed to prove the Dao to become a Golden Immortal in such a short time. If this news were to spread, it might cause quite the sensation.

Not to mention outsiders, even I am shocked now!”

Qin Feng said with a soft smile, “Senior Brother, not only has Ancestor Martial Uncle Gui Ling proved the Dao and become a Golden Immortal, but our master has also broken through the bottleneck and is about to achieve the Longevity Dao!”

“Ah?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiankun and Hao Shicheng were both stunned and delighted, and they turned to look at Ning Wuxu, asking in unison, “Master, is what Junior Brother said true?”

“Yes, these are true words!”

Ning Wuxu nodded, “You both know that the main reason I participated in the expedition was to explore different cultivation systems from other worlds, attempting to break through my own limitations, shatter the Shackles, and prove the Longevity.

Not long after your junior brother entered the Red Flame Demon Realm, he discovered by chance another world. That world wasn’t too far from the Red Flame Demon Realm, and it was possible to summon demon beasts from the Red Flame Demon Realm to fight there. Later, Elder Kongkong took advantage of the timing when that demon beast was in the otherworld to send your junior brother over to explore that world.

He then brought back a special Druid Transformation Technique, which involves absorbing a demon beast’s demon core to temporarily transform one’s body into that of a demon beast. I relied on this Technique to merge with a demon beast that had just ascended to the Demon God Realm, drawing on the Power of Laws within that demon beast’s divine status. This allowed me to perceive more of the Dao Principles, creating a possibility for advancement.”

“That’s wonderful!”

Zhao Qiankun excitedly paced around twice on the spot before calming down, “If Master achieves longevity, our Spiritual Snake Lineage will have three Supreme Elders. By the way, Master, how much longer might it take for you to become an Immortal?”

“Hehe…”

Ning Wuxu chuckled lightly, thinking for a moment before responding, “I have just returned and haven’t fully unwound my spirit to perceive the Heavenly Dao Laws, so I’m not completely certain yet. However, I feel that it could be as soon as a couple of months, or up to three to five years at most, that I will be able to break through the realm and ascend through the Crossing Tribulation!”

Upon receiving this answer, both Zhao Qiankun and Hao Shicheng excited themselves for a while.

“Alright, sit down now.”

Ning Wuxu waved his hands, signaling the two disciples to quiet down, “I’ll soon go on seclusion at Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven. Before I leave, I want to arrange some matters.

In the next few days, the Sect will be dispatching more personnel from among the disciples to go to the Red Flame Demon Realm for battle. Qiankun, you should go too. Once there, look after each other with your Junior Sister Liu. You have already cultivated to the late stages of the Purple Mansion, nearing the peak, and this is indeed the time when you need to gain experience. It truly isn’t right to keep you stationed at the Sect.”

“Yes, Master.”

Zhao Qiankun nodded happily, “This disciple also had this intention. Now that Master permits it, I will speak with the Sect Master and Martial Uncle once I return.”

Initially, when the expedition began, he wanted to join, but Ning Wuxu, being the Great Elder of the Spiritual Snake Lineage, had already taken another Purple Mansion Realm disciple, Liu Xuanling. To avoid taking him as well, Zhao Qiankun was asked to stay behind.

But now that Ning Wuxu had returned, Zhao Qiankun could go without worry that their lineage lacked strong protectors.

“As for the second disciple?”

Ning Wuxu looked at his second disciple, Hao Shicheng, and said, “Since you seek to follow your heart, then I won’t make more arrangements for you. Follow your heart in your cultivation, go if you desire, or stay at the Mountain Gate if you prefer. Everything is up to you, but you might want to ponder over the Druid Transformation Technique.”

Hao Shicheng replied, “This disciple is ashamed for causing Master to worry over my matters.”

Ning Wuxu smiled and waved his hand, “You are my disciple, of course, I can’t ignore you. After I achieve the Immortal Dao, I will focus on explaining the Daoist laws to you and help you clarify your path in cultivation.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Hao Shicheng bowed deeply.

Ning Wuxu smiled faintly and turned his gaze towards Qin Feng, saying, “Your cultivation has advanced rapidly, and you possess the Rock Giant transformation, your combat power is not inferior to a typical Purple Mansion cultivator, so your teacher won’t comment further on this aspect.

However, your biggest issue is the comprehension of your own cultivation technique. Although you have some initial understanding, it might still take a considerable amount of time to perfect it completely, and this can’t be rushed. As your teacher, I can only offer you some concepts; I cannot aid in your comprehension, for the method you develop may not be the most suitable for you.

Furthermore, I will soon head to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven for secluded cultivation. Before I achieve immortality through Crossing Tribulation, I won’t have time to guide you further. You must cultivate diligently on your own, but remember, in comprehending the cultivation techniques, you mustn’t be impatient to achieve immediate results. It’s better to slow down rather than make mistakes out of haste.

Otherwise, as your cultivation level increases, you will find more and more detours on your cultivation path, which in the long run will be counterproductive.

You are still young, and despite your high cultivation level at such a young age, I fear that your spirit may become unstable. If arrogance arises, you might easily overlook small but critical details, and this absolutely must not happen. For cultivating independently and comprehensively understanding techniques, it’s most suitable to proceed steadily and securely.”

“Master, rest assured, your disciple will be cautious.”

Qin Feng said, “In this world, there are countless cultivators with formidable cultivation. I am merely at the Golden Core Realm. This expedition has also allowed me to witness many powerful individuals and learn about many cultivators from different sects with profound Dao cultivation. Although I stand out among the younger generation, there are still peers who can match me, not to mention that I am still not capable of contending with the older generation of powerhouses.”

“Indeed, it is good that you understand this,” Ning Wuxu nodded. “In the cultivation world, there are numerous masters and eccentric individuals who practice various mysterious techniques. As long as you can remain focused, with your talent and understanding, your future achievements will surely be boundless!”

Then, Ning Wuxu briefly explained what would happen after his secluded cultivation and elaborated on the Druid Cultivation Techniques he had comprehended to his disciples.

Even though the technique was originally presented to Ning Wuxu by Qin Feng, who could already complete a Rock Giant transformation himself, Ning Wuxu’s insights into the technique, based on his integration with the Demon Beast Divine Status of a Demon God Level, and his explanations of how to better integrate it into his own cultivation methods, were still very enlightening and engaging for Qin Feng.

Half a day later, after Ning Wuxu had finished expounding the techniques and answered the disciples’ queries, he left Heavenly Snake Ridge with the respectful send-off from his disciples and went to Ten Thousand Demons Cave for his secluded cultivation.

After the master had left, Zhao Qiankun immediately clung to Qin Feng, “Our master’s secluded cultivation is crucial, so I didn’t want to bother asking him in detail about the Red Flame Demon Realm earlier. Junior brother, tell me quickly so I can prepare in advance.”

Hao Shicheng also came over, interested, and listened together with Zhao Qiankun as Qin Feng explained about the Demon Realm.

It wasn’t until the evening when the stars were glittering and the moon had risen that Zhao Qiankun and Hao Shicheng reluctantly let Qin Feng go.

Qin Feng took out a small Qiankun bag and handed it to Hao Shicheng, saying, “Second Senior Brother, this is a collection of Demon Realm spiritual medicines I specially gathered for you from the Red Flame Demon Realm. Though these herbs are accustomed to growing in the Demon Realm, I think you might try removing the demonic qi and planting them in a place rich in spiritual energy; they might just survive.”

“Oh?”

Hao Shicheng was immediately delighted, “Junior brother is thoughtful.”

“We are brothers, why stand on ceremony with me!”

Saying this, Qin Feng handed over the storage bag.

“Ha ha, junior brother is right, I was being too sensitive,” Hao Shicheng replied as he took the storage bag, pulling out several jade boxes and eagerly opened them to inspect.

He found that Qin Feng had been very meticulous, labelling each jade box with the name of the spiritual medicine inside and its specific effects. Seeing these, Hao Shicheng felt increasingly happy.

He was devoted to exotic flora and managed spiritual medicines not just as a discipline for his mind or purely out of personal interest but also with the intention of using these medications for alchemic proof of Dao. Thus, he especially loved these exotic herbs from otherworldly realms.

At this, Zhao Qiankun who was watching felt slightly discontented, “Junior brother plays favorites! You and the second are brothers, does that make me, your eldest senior brother, an outsider? Why did you only think of bringing gifts for the second and forget about your eldest senior brother?”

“Err… how could that be?”

Qin Feng felt a bit embarrassed.

He had indeed not thought about bringing a gift for his senior brother.

Mainly because his senior brother was so highly advanced in Dao cultivation that ordinary items seemed inappropriate, and presenting such to his senior brother at the Purple Mansion Late Stage would seem too modest, unlike with Hao Shicheng who was at the same Golden Core Realm and loved exotic flora; to please him, Qin Feng just needed to cater to his preferences. As for Zhao Qiankun, Qin Feng genuinely did not know what would be a suitable gift.

Moreover, since Zhao Qiankun was soon heading to the Red Flame Demon Realm for battle, ordinary Demon Realm products wouldn’t do; otherwise, it would be awkward in the future.

However, luckily Qin Feng had successively fought across two realms, especially later when he plundered resources extensively among the clans in the Demon Domain, gaining a great deal.

Soon, he took out a level nine Demon Beast’s Demon Core and handed it over, “This is a level nine Demon Core that I obtained from the City Lord Mansion of a Demon Clan powerhouse when I infiltrated deep into the Demon Domain. I believe it might be of some use to Senior Brother.”

“This…”

Zhao Qiankun was startled.

He had just been joking with Qin Feng. After all, when this Junior Brother had first left the Mountain Gate to join the Expedition Team a few years ago, he had only been at the Foundation Establishment Realm in his cultivation. Although he knew that Junior Brother had progressed quickly in cultivation, he hadn’t adjusted his perception and still thought of Qin Feng as the young man still in the Foundation Establishment Realm. He hadn’t expected Qin Feng to actually present him with such a precious item as a joke.

A level nine Demon Beast was an entity comparable to a Purple Mansion Cultivator, and such a demon core was equivalent to the Nascent Soul of a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

However, the Nascent Soul of a cultivator was much harder to obtain.

Zhao Qiankun looked at the Demon Core in Qin Feng’s hand, felt the surging power and the subtle Law’s power within, hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly waved his hand, “Forget it, I was just joking, that item is quite precious, you should keep it for yourself.”

“Senior Brother, please accept it.”

Qin Feng smiled and said, “This time, I’ve gained a lot in the Red Flame Demon Realm, I got no fewer than ten of these level nine Demon Cores alone; it’s a pity that the Demon Clan doesn’t have the habit of sealing the soul of the Demon Beasts when they kill them, otherwise, they could be offered to the Sect to be used for cultivating the Druid Transformation Technique.”

“You’ve gained that much?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiankun was somewhat surprised, “I’ve heard that the disciples from various sects on this expedition have all gained much, but your gains are exceptionally large.

That’s just Demon Cores; if you add other treasures, my god, I even feel like robbing you now.”

“Heh heh, the ordinary cultivator’s gains can’t compare to mine.”

Qin Feng proudly said, “I changed my identity and infiltrated the Demon Domain, mingling among the Demon Clan, fostering discord, letting the Demon Clan fight continuously amongst themselves, consuming one after another, of course my harvest far exceeds those cultivators who can only battle the Demon Clan on the frontline.”

Hearing this, Zhao Qiankun no longer hesitated, stretched out his hand and grabbed the level nine Demon Core from Qin Feng’s hand, “Since that’s the case, I won’t be polite with you, heh heh, this Demon Core can just help my Fire Lizard reach the Purple Mansion Realm, this time I will take advantage of you, when I return from the Otherworld Battlefield, I’ll give you a gift to make up for it.”

“Senior Brother, no need to be so formal, especially since you are soon to set out on an Expedition, nurturing spiritual beasts and improving strength are the right priorities. If one Demon Core is not enough, just let me know, I still have more.”

At this moment, Qin Feng appeared exceptionally generous, of course, mainly because Zhao Qiankun wasn’t a stranger, plus there was surely a bigger reward to be reaped in the future, so he was eager for Senior Brother to ask for more items to nurture spiritual beasts.

“No need, no need, this one Demon Core is enough.”

Zhao Qiankun waved his hand, “My Fire Lizard already possesses the cultivation of the Peak of Demon Core, with this Fire Element Demon Core, it’s sufficient for it to advance.”

“In that case, forget it.”

Qin Feng didn’t mind, and after thinking a bit, he said, “Fire Lizard? Maybe Senior Brother could consider trying to merge it with the bloodline of a Fire Element Giant Dragon, you might be able to cultivate a Fire Dragon.

Actually, a Demon Dragon would also be possible, since you will be fighting in the Red Flame Demon Realm for a few years, but since the Demon Dragon bloodline ultimately contains Demonic Qi, it might not be appropriate if your spiritual beast has Demonic Qi in its body after returning to the cultivation world; it’s not as ideal as the Fire Dragon in this aspect.”

As he spoke, Qin Feng suddenly slapped his forehead, “I felt like I was forgetting something, previously when Master was in the Demon Realm, he killed a Super Demon Dragon and imprisoned the Dragon Soul in Dragon Crystal. Initially, Master said he would leave the Dragon Crystal of the Demon Dragon for Senior Brother to use for his Druid Transformation, earlier Master must have been in a hurry to close up for enlightenment and forgot about it.

Senior Brother, you should send a Communication Talisman to ask, Master is probably still consulting with the Supreme Elders about becoming an Immortal, and he should not have closed up yet, ask Master to bestow the Dragon Crystal soon, otherwise once Master closes up, you will have to find a suitable Demon Beast for your transformation by yourself.”

“Ah? There’s also that matter?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiankun too was moved, promptly took out a Communication Talisman and sent it to his master to inquire about the situation.

He was Ning Wuxu’s eldest disciple, having followed his master for much longer than Hao Shicheng, with a close relationship, so he didn’t hesitate; otherwise, if it were someone else, it wouldn’t be so easy to straightforwardly ask the master for benefits.

Originally, Zhao Qiankun wasn’t the type to ask for benefits from elders, but a Super Demon Level Demon Dragon was different; its existence was comparable to the Dharma Image Realm, and since Master was originally preparing it for him, if he missed this opportunity because of Master’s retreat, with his current strength, it was almost impossible to obtain a Super Demon Level Demon Core needed for Druid Transformation.

Luckily, Ning Wuxu had indeed not yet closed up for retreat, so upon receiving Zhao Qiankun’s Communication Talisman, he soon sent a Spiritual Beast to deliver the Dragon Crystal of the Demon Dragon to Heavenly Snake Ridge, giving it to his own eldest disciple.

Zhao Qiankun, upon receiving the Dragon Crystal of the Demon Dragon, felt the overwhelming power inside and the unwilling roar of the Dragon Soul, and was instantly ecstatic.

“Since Junior Brother Hao managed to fuse with a level nine Rock Giant while at the Golden Core Realm, perhaps it’s not impossible for me to fuse with this Super Demon Dragon.”

“After all, I am also a true disciple of the Spiritual Snake lineage. I have cultivated the Azure Dragon Divine Technique, and my physical body is much stronger than Qin Feng’s. Moreover, my cultivation has reached the late stages of the Purple Mansion Realm, just half a step away from the peak.”

“Congratulations, Senior Brother, for obtaining such a powerful Super Demon Dragon’s demon core. If you can complete the transformation, you will be able to comprehend the power of the Demon Dragon’s laws, and your cultivation will surely soar.”

Hao Shicheng looked on with some envy.

But envy was futile in his case, as he lacked the power, and even if his master gave him the dragon crystal of this demon dragon, he wouldn’t be able to use it.

“Hehe, Junior Brother Hao, don’t be envious. When I return from the Otherworld, I will surely bring you a few suitable demon cores.”

Zhao Qiankun offered some words of comfort, then said, “I will return to my Cave Mansion to study the Druid Transformation Technique and strive to complete the transformation as soon as possible.”

With that, he didn’t wait for the two to respond and had already flown off eagerly.

Clearly, he was also excited by the hunt, having acquired such a treasure that immediately attracted his spirit.

Qin Feng and Hao Shicheng exchanged a glance, and Qin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle, “Senior Brother sure is in a hurry.”

“After all, it’s a Super Demon Dragon. I suppose I would be the same.”

Hao Shicheng shook his head, “Forget it, Junior Brother. I know you must have had a tough time battling in the Red Flame Demon Realm. I won’t disturb you further. You should rest for a while. We can talk more later.”

“That sounds good, I’ll head back then.”

Qin Feng nodded.

Honestly, he hadn’t really rested well in the past few years.

If it were an ordinary disciple, it might have been fine. They could follow the directives of the elders in the Sect and stay with their fellow disciples, and not many unexpected situations would occur.

But Qin Feng was different. Whether mingling among the Demon Clan or posing as a Druid young man, he always had to be cautious, fearing that someone might see through his identity. So although his cultivation had increased significantly, his spirit was still quite tired.

This was also one of the reasons he wanted to return to the Sect so early.

After saying goodbye to Hao Shicheng, Qin Feng returned to the small bamboo hut he had set up in the bamboo forest at the back.

As the bamboo used to build the hut was rather spiritual, Spirit Bamboo, and Qin Feng had also added a few simple spells like the Dust Cleaning Spell to it, the inside of the hut remained clean and fresh, filled with a faintly light and spiritual air.

When Qin Feng returned to the small bamboo hut, he immediately felt his spirit relax, flew straight to the bamboo cot, and without meditating, he closed his eyes to rest—and he actually fell asleep.

Once a cultivator reached the Golden Core Realm, unless extremely exhausted, he might not sleep once throughout the year.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to sleep, but their souls were strong, their divine senses powerful, and they usually didn’t feel sleepy, so the stronger the cultivator, the more time they could have for cultivation, whether meditating to refine Qi, pondering cultivation techniques, or comprehending divine abilities.

But because Qin Feng had been exerting great effort for a long time, although his divine sense was still in a full state, his spirit was already tired, which made him quickly fall asleep.

He slept straight through until the next day, and the sunlight dawned bright yet he had not awakened.

The sun was high in the sky when, as Qin Feng was still fast asleep, there suddenly came the sound of light footsteps outside the bamboo forest.

Then someone gently knocked on the bamboo door, “Senior Brother Qin, wake up!”

“Who is it?”

Inside, Qin Feng turned over, avoiding the sunlight shining through the window. He covered his face with his wide sleeves and asked groggily.

“Senior Brother Qin, it’s me!”

Outside, that cute voice came through the crack of the door.
