Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 705 - 699: Spring and Autumn Reward, Divine Text Scroll
Chapter 705 -699: Spring and Autumn Reward, Divine Text Scroll
After Elder Long Qian had explained the situation in detail, the few Great Powers present had a clear understanding of the matter.
“Bring out that Three-Legged Crow for interrogation!”
Elder Gui Ling glanced at Gongsun Cuo and, seeing that the Mountain Master kept silent, knew it was because Long Qian and Qin Feng were juniors from his own Beast Taming Sect; he would not overstep his bounds, and thus he remained silent himself.
Therefore, Elder Gui Ling took the initiative to give an order and then said, “Also, bring out that so-called Divine Artifact for inspection!”
“Yes!”
The group responded in unison.
Qin Feng waved his hand and released the Three-Legged Crow.
On the other side, Li Miao Zhen and Elder Long Qian each took out a Treasure Mirror.
These two mirrors looked similar in shape and identical in aura; the only difference was that one was merely a mirror of the Immortal Level, while the other was a Treasure that possessed complete Dao Principles. The mirror’s surface contained an Immortal aura. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth, extremely far apart.
The Great Powers only briefly glanced at the Three-Legged Crow before losing interest.
The crow clearly did not belong to the Golden Crow Clan of the Heavenly Demon Great World that reigned supreme as the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons. There wasn’t even a noticeable trace of the Golden Crow Bloodline within it, and its strength was mediocre at best!
Of course, this ‘mediocre’ was only in relative terms to them!
What truly captivated the attention of these Great Powers was the Eightfold Mirror in Li Miao Zhen’s hands!
Elder Long Qian stepped forward and said, “Ladies and gentleman, this mirror in my hand is the sacrificial item used on the Altar to communicate with the Otherworld. It has a mysterious connection with the treasure mirror in Miao Zhen’s hands. This Three-Legged Crow emerged through this mirror.”
“Oh?”
Elder Gui Ling reached out and summoned the Treasure Mirrors from both Elder Long Qian and Li Miao Zhen into his hands. After examining them closely for a moment, he passed the two mirrors to Gongsun Cuo.
“So this is the Treasure!”
After pondering briefly, Gongsun Cuo quickly retrieved the memory of this mirror from the depths of his past recollections.
“Does the Mountain Master know the origin of this mirror?”
Beside him, Su Muzhe asked curiously.
“Hmm.”
Gongsun Cuo nodded slightly and said, “This Treasure doesn’t have much provenance. If it weren’t for having encountered the owner of this mirror on the battlefield during the Ancient Great Tribulation and clashing with them, I would not have remembered it!”
After a moment of contemplation, he continued, “The owner of this Eightfold Mirror is a powerful being from the Fusang World, one of the worlds associated with the Golden Crow Clan of the Heavenly Demon Realm.
When the Ancient Great Tribulation broke out, the Fusang World had eight million Ghost Gods drawn up by the Golden Crow Demon Emperor to follow the Heavenly Demon Realm and invade Biluo, committing a fair share of atrocities. However, it wasn’t long before they were caught in a great war. The eight million Ghost Gods were caught in a Great Killing Array and most were refired, with only a few surviving to escape. After so many years, it’s unknown whether their strength has recovered.
Hmph, audacious indeed. How dare such a minor Fusang World leave behind a backhand in my Biluo? Aren’t they afraid that we might strike back and annihilate their realm?
Are they feeling fearless because they have the backing of the Heavenly Demon Great World, or do they think my Biluo is no longer a concern after the Ancient Great Tribulation and thus act so insolently?”
“It must be because they have a Space Gateway connected to the Heavenly Demon Realm, which gives them such confidence!”
Elder Gui Ling chuckled lightly and glanced at the Three-Legged Crow, saying with a smile, “The specifics, why not ask and find out?”
“Yes, Daoist Fellow speaks wisely!”
Gongsun Cuo nodded in agreement, but instead of questioning the crow, his eyes shone brightly, staring intently at the Three-Legged Crow.
The Three-Legged Crow, being already overwhelmed when captured by Qin Feng into the Demon Refining Pot and refined by it, was shocked. Now, released and facing so many great powers, it felt utterly cold and fearful.
It was initially crouching on the ground, uneasy and unsure of what kind of treatment it would receive, but upon catching Gongsun Cuo’s gaze, it froze and became stiff, not moving an inch.
After a while, Gongsun Cuo let out a soft exclamation, then looked at Elder Gui Ling, “Daoist Fellow, please come with me!”
With that, he swept the crow into his sleeve with a flick of his robe, taking with him the Eightfold Divine Mirror and Elder Gui Ling, both disappearing from sight.
Not until half a day later did they return to the hall.
“You have done very well this time, earning great merit for Biluo!”
Gongsun Cuo nodded appreciatively at them, “If it wasn’t for your timely discovery and the killing of the Demon Cultivator, capturing this Three-Legged Crow, a great disaster might have been brewing.
Even though Spring and Autumn Ancestor and the Heavenly Union have decreed that external powers cannot arrive in this world without permission, being discovered in this Star Domain could bring countless troubles.
Such merit deserves a rewarding prize. What would you like?”
Elder Long Qian shook his head: “We are, after all, cultivators of Biluo, and it is our duty to contribute to our realm. There is no talk of craving rewards.”
Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen exchanged glances.
Since Elder Long Qian had already spoken thus, they naturally could not object and likewise nodded in agreement.
Qin Feng said, “What Elder Long Qian said is absolutely correct. Just as our seniors have exhausted their thoughts for the welfare of Biluo, it is only right for us disciples to do our bit for Biluo as well!”
“Hehe…”
Gongsun Cuo chuckled lightly and said, “It is said that if there are achievements without reward, then good deeds won’t be encouraged; if there are wrongdoings without punishment, then evil won’t fear.
Therefore, those who should be rewarded must indeed be rewarded, or else who would fight the enemy with all their might in the future.
Besides, the Eightfold Divine Mirror you all captured, along with other things, will be used in our strategic planning and temporarily cannot be returned to you. Nonetheless, it isn’t right to let you suffer losses, is it?”
He thought for a moment, then continued, “Didn’t you capture a Demon Tower? I remember that object. It should be a treasure refined by the Demon Lord Chi Li of the Heavenly Demon Sect. It contains the forces of earth, water, wind, and fire, initially prepared to be used against our Righteous Path Cultivators. However, before he could complete its refinement, he died in the last siege.
It’s ironic to think that the Demon perished at the hands of several Deans from the Spring and Autumn Academy and Taiyue Academy, and now his treasure has ended up in your hands.
Since that Demon Tower’s laws are not yet perfected, there’s still the possibility to purge the Demonic Qi.
How about I use the Vast Energy to refine it for you? That way, you can have an extra protective treasure!”
“In that case… thank you, Mountain Master!”
Overjoyed by these words, Qin Feng quickly retrieved the Demon Tower and presented it. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Gongsun Cuo glanced at Li Miao Zhen, and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, “I rather like this girl, so I’ll give her a piece of Divine Text for protection as a reward for her contributions!”
As he spoke, he pointed his hand, and immediately a streak of light fell onto Li Miao Zhen’s brow, disappearing into it.
“This Divine Text that I’ve condensed with the Vast Energy will not only nurture your Primordial Spirit Soul but also save your life in a critical moment. Remember not to use it lightly in your daily life!”
“Thank you, senior!”
Li Miao Zhen bowed gracefully without any pretense.
Gongsun Cuo pondered for a moment, and waved his hand to send a scroll of scriptures to Elder Long Qian, “I see that you’re attracting qi yet not releasing it and are clearly accumulating strength to ascend to Profound Immortal.
However, becoming a Profound Immortal is not just about accumulation. This scripture records some of the profound truths of heaven and earth. Studying it might provide you with some insight and help you find clarity for what lies ahead!”
“Thank you, Gongsun Mountain Master!”
Elder Long Qian was also delighted.
He had originally felt that as someone who had become an Immortal a long time ago, he shouldn’t accept rewards like the younger generation, Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen.
Moreover, as a cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect, and with Gui Ling Ancestor present, any rewards ought to be granted by the Gui Ling Ancestor, or he could simply be credited with a great merit upon return to the Sect. Little did he expect a pleasant surprise.
If it were other magical treasures or Immortal Pills, he might not care much, but a scripture that could help him break through his cultivation bottleneck was truly enticing.
If he had guessed correctly, this scripture surely contained some of Gongsun Cuo’s personal insights. It was like receiving much-needed aid in the snow – simply perfect timing!
If he could break through his bottleneck with it and ascend to Profound Immortal, the core strength of the Beast Taming Sect would also increase significantly. Aside from Elder Kongkong and Elder Liuling, with him included, there would soon be three Supreme Elders at the Profound Immortal Realm.
“Okay, take away this Crow!”
Gui Ling Ancestor glanced at Qin Feng and instructed him to take away the dispirited Three-legged Crow, whose memories had been examined by who knows how many people.
Then he added, “You all may go now. Rest for a few days in the Spring and Autumn Academy before returning to the Southern Domain. Qin Feng and Miao Zhen have just made their breakthroughs, and although their auras are profound, they advanced too swiftly, so it’s crucial to stabilize their cultivation.”
“Yes!”
The group nodded promptly.
They were aware that the powerful seniors were still to discuss the conquest of the Nordic God Realm, so they didn’t want to interfere further. Since the matter with the Demon Cultivators using the altar to communicate with the Otherworld had been resolved, they bowed and took their leave.
After leaving the hall, they were escorted to the Academy’s guesthouse by the same scholar who had brought them, where they were to stay temporarily.
The main reason they didn’t leave straight away was because Gongsun Cuo had promised to refine the Demon Tower for Qin Feng.
Even though Gongsun Cuo was an immensely powerful being at the Peak of the Eternal Realm, purifying the Demonic Qi from the Demon Tower and reversing the origin of its powers would still take a few days.
It was quite timely for them to consolidate their cultivation in the Academy for a few days. They could see old friends, listen to the teachings of great scholars, and utilize the Academy’s Vast Energy to purify their Daoist Hearts and cleanse their Divine Souls, solidifying the strength that had surged excessively.
Although Qin Feng and the others had a firm foundation, due to refining the Golden Apples, their cultivation was also significantly profound with no signs of instability. However, such rapid progress was not without risks. It was that their Daoist Hearts might not keep up with the surging cultivation, and they might not adapt to such formidable power.
…
“Ha ha, Brother Qin, Daoist Fellow Miao Zhen!”
From outside the guesthouse, Tang Sanyuan’s hearty laughter could be heard, “I have missed you so much over the years. Just now, I couldn’t believe it when some schoolmates mentioned that the two of you had come to the Spring and Autumn Academy; I never expected it to be true!”
Tang Sanyuan, Tang Qiyun, Fang Chengqian, Daoist Wu, and several others strode into the courtyard. Upon seeing Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen, they were immediately overjoyed.
But before they had taken a few steps, their expressions changed, “You’ve both become Immortals already?”
