Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 177: Chapter 175 Divine Skills of Space Movement Chapter 177: Chapter 175 Divine Skills of Space Movement Spiritual Snake Peak.

Qin Feng, feeling pleased, jumped down from the back of the Spiritual Vulture.

Just as he was about to perform a hand seal to open the prohibition and enter the courtyard, he suddenly noticed a young male and female disciple walking out from a nearby fork in the road.

The male disciple’s face, originally smiling and talking with the female disciple beside him, suddenly turned gloomy upon seeing Qin Feng.

He snorted coldly and led the female cultivator towards another courtyard not far away.

Qin Feng recognized that guy, and though they were not close, he knew his name was Zhao Qinglin.

This guy had quite a reputation in Spiritual Snake Peak, and it was said that he had once even killed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator while at the Qi Refinement Realm.

…

He could have had the chance to join the Inner Sect last year, but he ultimately missed out due to a slight misstep and being defeated by someone, resulting in another year of secluded cultivation in the Outer Sect.

Qin Feng remembered that some time ago, when he followed Liu Xuanling to the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, Elder Lingxiao of Heavenly Dragon Peak had curiously asked Liu Xuanling why Zhao Qinglin wasn’t chosen to go to the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm.

Clearly, this guy was seen as a disciple with great potential by many.

Qin Feng had only moved here a few days ago and genuinely did not know that this guy’s cultivation place was so close to his own.

He squinted his eyes.

It seemed that Zhao Qinglin was somewhat dissatisfied with him!

Indeed, anyone who thought they had a secure chance to enter a secret realm but suddenly had it snatched away would naturally feel upset.

It was normal for Zhao Qinglin to have some resentment, and Qin Feng didn’t mind it.

Whatever his dissatisfaction was, as long as he did not provoke Qin Feng, it was fine.

Otherwise, Qin Feng wouldn’t mind showing this guy his true power.

Though Zhao Qinglin had been a disciple a few years longer than himself, what did that amount to?

His clan uncle, Qin Ying, had joined the sect decades before him, and he hadn’t achieved much.

Zhao Qinglin might have some renown, but he definitely wasn’t a top-notch genius.

True geniuses were like Kong Xuan from Mystic Bird Peak, known across peaks while still in the Qi Refinement Realm, or like Lin Jingxin from Spiritual Tree Peak, known even before entering the Mountain Gate for her Innate Dao Heart, not someone like Zhao Qinglin who only gained fame after several years into his discipleship.

Although Qin Feng had only recently entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, relying solely on the various Divine Powers of the Ruyi Golden Snake, he had already secured a position among the many Foundation Establishment Disciples of the Outer Sect.

Not to mention, he also possessed the Swallowing Sky Toad, Ghost-Faced Spider, and Fire Ape, several Spirit Beasts at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Unless facing those veteran Foundation Establishment Late Stage disciples with substantial accumulations, he truly feared no one in the Outer Sect.

Back in the cultivation room, Qin Feng couldn’t wait to place the Swallowing Star Toad into the Demon Refining Pot, and after sending the Swallowing Sky Toad back to a spatial layer, he directly took out a large quantity of Spirit Stones and put them into the Demon Refining Pot, activating it to begin integrating the bloodline for the Swallowing Sky Toad.

This time, without the support of a Spirit Vein, Qin Feng truly experienced what it felt like for money to flow like water.

Tens of thousands of Spirit Stones were visibly depleted under his Divine Sense’s watch, drained of all Spiritual Energy by the Demon Refining Pot, yet it was still not enough.

Qin Feng gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and continued to put more Spirit Stones inside.

The last time he had integrated bloodline for the Swallowing Sky Toad, due to its only being at the Qi Refinement Late Stage, the consumption had not been too great.

Although it still left him penniless, it only cost a few thousand Spirit Stones.

Now that the Swallowing Sky Toad had reached Foundation Establishment, its strength far surpassed that of before, and the required number of Spirit Stones had multiplied tenfold, causing Qin Feng great distress.

It took great effort to gather these Spirit Stones, and he had hoped to save some to buy Spiritual Elixirs that could accelerate the refining of his physical body, but he couldn’t afford to use them all up.

Even though it pained him to use so many, he couldn’t stop now.

He had already fused more than half, and stopping midway would be the greatest waste.

Finally, after he had invested 68,000 Spirit Stones, the Demon Refining Pot finally gave a feeling of saturation, and the fusion with the Swallowing Sky Toad completely ended.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and was also secretly glad that he had resisted the temptation to buy the more expensive Taiyin Moon Toad.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have had enough Spirit Stones for the fusion, and ending it halfway would truly have been a devastating loss.

He still had about 80,000 Spirit Stones left, enough for a Foundation Establishment Disciple to be extravagant with.

With only a few months left until the year-end Outer Sector Competition, he planned to use these Spirit Stones to buy a large amount of Spiritual Medicine to aid in his cultivation, aiming to advance his cultivation further before the competition to ensure his entry into the Inner Sect.

For him, getting into the Inner Sect as early as possible was preferable to staying in the Outer Sector, as the difference in treatment between the Inner and Outer Sects was too vast; he preferred to enter the Inner Sect and focus on his cultivation.

For many years, his family had always hoped to nurture an Inner Sect Disciple.

Frankly, if he hadn’t fortuitously obtained the Demon Refining Pot, with his original aptitude, it wouldn’t have been possible for him to enter the Inner Sect so easily.

The most likely scenario would have been following his father’s old path, spending tens of years to achieve Foundation Establishment, or if he was unwilling to retire to his family, he would slowly cultivate in the Sect, hoping one day to achieve the Golden Core.

Now that he was a disciple of Ning Wuxu, entering the Inner Sect was already a certainty; the key was that he had to earn his place through his own efforts in the Outer Sector Competition to officially become a direct disciple of his master.

If he couldn’t even pass this test in the Outer Sector, that would make him seem too incompetent.

Even if Ning Wuxu said nothing, he probably wouldn’t have the face to claim he was Ning Wuxu’s disciple.

Taking a light breath, Qin Feng gathered his spirit and summoned the Swallowing Sky Toad.

After its advancement, the Swallowing Sky Toad had grown a bit larger, transforming from the size of a fist to that of a palm.

As it continued to eat and cultivate, its body would keep growing, and it might eventually become a massive beast.

The mature Swallowing Sky Toad was naturally large; it had only been fist-sized because it was still juvenile.

Now, having entered the Foundation Establishment Realm and fused with the Swallowing Star Toad’s bloodline, its body would surely continue to grow.

Qin Feng cradled the Swallowing Sky Toad in one hand while gently stroking its smooth back with the other.

At that moment, the toad’s back was covered with dazzling star patterns that echoed the stars in the distant heavens.

From now on, its cultivation would focus on two aspects: one was the Space Dao inherent to the Swallowing Sky Toad, its current stage still focused on devouring various foods, using spiritually rich objects to nourish the space within its stomach.

The other was harnessing the power of the stars for cultivation.

The stars of the Nine Heavens were infinite, present in the cosmic sky night and day, though invisible during daylight to the common eye.

However, the Swallowing Sky Toad could directly use the star patterns on its back to connect with the Nine Heavens Star Power and continuously absorb and refine it.

Moreover, because the Swallowing Star Toad’s Bloodline Power was perfectly integrated into its body, the star power it absorbed also merged with the space in its stomach.

Qin Feng, through his spirit sensing, discovered that its stomach walls now seemed to contain countless tiny stars, mysterious and beautiful, brightening the space within, which was no longer pitch black as before.

Additionally, it could also absorb water Spirit Energy for cultivation.

Although its Water Manipulation Divine Power and Cold Ice Arrow were far less potent than its space and star abilities, they were still directions for cultivation, and as its realm increased, it could also elevate its comprehension of the Water Element Dao.

“Show me your current abilities.”

Qin Feng said to the Swallowing Sky Toad.

“Gurgle, gurgle…”

The Swallowing Sky Toad let out a couple of light croaks, then pushed off with its limbs from his hand, and leapt forward.

“Huh?”

Qin Feng felt a slight fluctuation of energy from the Swallowing Sky Toad, and then he lost sight of its figure.

He hurriedly released his Divine Sense to scan the area and found that the Swallowing Sky Toad had already appeared at the doorway.

“Is this…

Space Movement?”

Qin Feng was both surprised and delighted. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Such a Divine Skill was indeed impressive.

At the very least, before a cultivator had reached a profoundly high level of Cultivation, they had virtually no sense of space, and even existences at the Dharma Image Realm like Luo Zhancheng wouldn’t dare to easily step into the void.

The innate Divine Ability of the Swallowing Sky Toad was related to space, which allowed it to comprehend the Divine Skill of Space Movement right after its Foundation Establishment.

If the Swallowing Sky Toad could grasp the Dao of Space and fully control the power of space within its body, it could advance further and transform Space Movement into Void Shifting, a Great Divine Power.

Space Movement only allowed for short-range movements within a certain boundary, whereas Void Shifting was a method to traverse the cosmic starry sky—the two, although intricately linked, were profoundly different in practice.

The Swallowing Sky Toad let out a few more “gurgles”, and Qin Feng understood its message; it had just recently advanced, was still weak, and could only move about twenty or thirty yards at most in one go.

If it wanted to travel further, it would have to wait until the power of space within it grew stronger.

Next, it demonstrated another new Divine Skill related to the stars.

Behind it, starlight shone brilliantly, and bits of Star Power gathered like rain before suddenly striking the wall.

“Come on, you financial burden—are you done yet?”

Qin Feng complained internally.

I just asked you to show your strength; was there any need to destroy the wall?

Luckily, the Cultivation Room had been set up with prohibitions when it was built, and he quickly formed a hand seal and activated the room’s Forbidden Technique to block the attack.

Still, the wall was marked with many fine shallow pits, a result of the Star Power’s sharpness, which was especially good at penetrating defenses.

Of course, Star Power was even better at breaking magic.

During the Ancient Great Tribulation, the cultivators from the Northern Domain Wuji Star Palace were the main force resisting the Heavenly Demon Realm, and they relied on Star Power Divine Skills to slay countless demons.

Though the Star Power within the Swallowing Sky Toad was still weak, it possessed the Breaking Law Attribute unique to the Nine Heavens Star Power.

Qin Feng was thrilled.

With such capacities, the Swallowing Sky Toad could once again become a significant aide for him, no longer just a minor actor.

Of course, it still needed a long time to gain enough Star Power and convert it into Star Power True Essence.

Qin Feng decided to let the Swallowing Sky Toad stay outside to absorb Star Power for its Cultivation from now on, unless he needed to take it with him.

Usually, he would try not to put it back into the Demon Refining Pot.

Since the room had prohibitive barriers, absorbing Star Power there would greatly affect the Swallowing Sky Toad and significantly reduce the effectiveness of its Cultivation.

Hence, Qin Feng tossed the Swallowing Sky Toad into the courtyard and let it cultivate on its own.

Thus, the Swallowing Sky Toad began its miserable life, having to lie on the rooftop every night to draw in Star Power and mostly hiding under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard during the day to avoid the sun and continue Cultivating.

Since Cultivation could enhance its power, Qin Feng wasn’t keen on wasting resources on feeding it too much.

It only ate occasionally, just enough not to starve.

Otherwise, with its huge appetite, even if Qin Feng spent all his remaining eighty thousand Spirit Stones on it, it wouldn’t be enough for the Swallowing Sky Toad to advance to the Demon Core.

Developing space was much more troublesome than tempering the physical body and accumulating True Yuan, and the resources required were far beyond what Qin Feng could currently afford.

That day, after finishing his Cultivation, Qin Feng was planning to read some Daoist books and learn some new spells when he suddenly heard a series of knocking sounds from outside.

A sweep of his Divine Sense revealed the skinny youth standing at the door was none other than Liu Wuxiang.

Qin Feng stood up to greet him.

Liu Wuxiang was his best friend at Spiritual Snake Peak.

While he knew many other disciples, they were mostly just acquaintances with whom he occasionally exchanged a few words.

It wasn’t that he was antisocial, but he spent most of his time on Cultivation.

His purpose in joining the Beast Taming Sect was to cultivate for longevity and not to make friends, so naturally, he wouldn’t put the cart before the horse.

His youth was the prime time for Cultivation, and he was unwilling to waste it on making so-called friends and delay his own progress.

Thus, in the two years since he joined the Sect, Liu Wuxiang was really the only one from Spiritual Snake Peak whom he got along well with.

In fact, Liu Wuxiang had also been quite influenced by him, so his daily routine was very similar to Qin Feng’s, spending most of his time Cultivating or in the Scripture Pavilion watching Daoist books unless he had to complete necessary tasks.

Moreover, Liu Wuxiang’s Lifebound Spiritual Beast was the Black Water Mysterious Snake, possessing great potential, and his personal prospects were much more significant than those of ordinary Outer Disciples.

Therefore, he also carried a bit of pride and naturally disdained to just get by like other ordinary Outer Disciples.

“Brother Wuxiang, what brings you here today?”

Qin Feng smiled warmly as he opened the courtyard gate and welcomed Liu Wuxiang inside.

He observed the aura around the youth and found that he had also reached the Late Stage of Qi Refinement.

Qin Feng congratulated him, “Congratulations, Junior Brother!

Having reached the Late Stage of Qi Refinement, you can now take on tasks from the Foreign Affairs Hall.

As long as you’re careful, you’ll earn more Cultivation resources outside than staying within the Mountain Gate, which will speed up your Cultivation.”

“Senior Brother is kidding me; my Cultivation is nothing compared to yours.”

Liu Wuxiang gave a wry smile.

“You’ve already reached Foundation Establishment, while I’ve only just reached the Late Stage of Qi Refinement with my family’s support.”
