Chapter 238 - 238 235 Special Spiritual Beast
Chapter 238: Chapter 235 Special Spiritual Beast Chapter 238: Chapter 235 Special Spiritual Beast Ning Wuxu had arrived.
He had timed his arrival to the day.
Three months had elapsed, and it was time to take Qin Feng out.
The Dragon Transformation Pond had accumulated a significant amount of energy infused with Dragon Qi, which was not easy, and it couldn’t be allowed to be incessantly drained by Qin Feng.
Qin Feng had also been honest this time; unlike during his earlier cultivation in the Earth Milk Essence Pool in Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven, he didn’t secretly channel any into the Demon Refining Pot.
The Dragon Transformation Liquid in the pond had been hard-earned by the sect, unlike the Earth Milk Essence; it was a treasure of the sect, and he dared not help himself.
Otherwise, once it was noticed that too much had been consumed, he would definitely be suspected of tampering, and even though they might not do anything to him, his standing in the eyes of the Sect’s upper echelons would surely plummet.
…
He had struggled to achieve several major contributions and earned the position of a True Disciple; he didn’t want to diminish his image in the eyes of the Sect Elders for a mere bit of Dragon Transformation Liquid.
Therefore, whether it was from his own volition or out of respect for the Sect’s rules, he would not privately consume the Dragon Transformation Liquid.
Qin Feng had originally been cultivating in the Dragon Transformation Pond.
Now, with significant advancement in his cultivation, he could sense his master’s arrival through the murky essence of the Dragon Transformation Liquid.
Not wanting to keep his master waiting, he hastily finished his cultivation technique, and with a splash, he shot out from the pond.
“Master.”
He landed in front of Ning Wuxu, bowing deeply, “Disciple greets Master.”“Not bad.”
Looking at the robust Qin Feng before him, Ning Wuxu smiled and said, “It seems you have made substantial progress during this time.”
At this moment, Qin Feng’s whole body emanated vitality, exuding a virile aura, with not an ounce of superfluous fat.
His muscle contours were nearly perfect, and every movement carried the weight of thousands of pounds—this was the initial result of his cultivation of the Azure Dragon Daoist Body.
Moreover, as his cultivation progressed, the strength of his physical body would continue to improve; after all, it was still just the beginning, and it required more time and careful refinement.
If he could also master the War Skills associated with the “Azure Dragon Divine Technique” in the future, integrating the full power of his body, he could then stand on equal footing with cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Peak solely with the strength of his physical body.
At that time, he could openly declare that he dual cultivates both the Law Body and Physical Body.
Upon hearing his master’s compliments, Qin Feng hastily said, “It is all thanks to Master’s guidance and the help of the Dragon Transformation Pond that this disciple has achieved such feats.”
“Hehe…”
Ning Wuxu chuckled lightly, “There’s no need to flatter your master, I don’t fall for that.”
“Master is right.”
Qin Feng immediately agreed, “Master has shown great care for his disciple, and my words are genuinely from the heart, not meant to curry favor.”
“Mm.”
Ning Wuxu nodded slightly, quite pleased.
Clearly, he found his disciple’s flattering words quite gratifying, and his previous comment was just a casual remark.
He turned and began to walk outside, “Alright, let’s go, it is time to leave.”
“Yes, Master.”
Qin Feng followed behind his master, heading out.
As they walked, Ning Wuxu spoke, “By now, the disciples from various sects have almost fully assembled, just waiting for the last bit of preparatory work to be completed and all the material support from each sect to arrive.
Then, the expedition army for the raid on the Otherworld will set off.”
“That quickly?”
Qin Feng was somewhat surprised.
When he had first gone into seclusion, not a single Sect had arrived, and before his seclusion had ended, not only had the cultivators from various Sects almost gathered, but most of the preparations were nearly complete.
Indeed, the efficiency of cultivators was commendable, with various Space Magical Treasures available for transporting materials and many Flying Escape Treasures to assemble the personnel.
“Not fast at all.”
Ning Wuxu continued, “This is also the first time the Sects have teamed up to raid the Otherworld, so there are many aspects that still need to be coordinated, which has delayed matters somewhat.
Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven had its ceremony completed two months ago; now we just wait for the Sects to deliver resources and personnel.
Now, only a few small, remote sects have yet to fulfill their expected contributions.
Once their resources and personnel are delivered, Ancestor Gui Ling will unite the upper echelons of the sects to offer sacrifices to heaven, and then we will set off.
So, regardless of whether there was any significant achievement from your cultivation of the ‘Azure Dragon Divine Technique’ during this period, it’s time for you to come out from seclusion.
Fortunately, seeing that you have made some progress in the Azure Dragon Daoist Body, it seems you haven’t let your master’s hard work go in vain.”
“Master has been troubled.”
Qin Feng complimented, then asked, “With so many forces gathering together, won’t it seem too chaotic?
When we reach the Otherworld, will we follow the commands of our Beast Taming Sect, or will each faction fight on their own, choosing their primary targets?”
“This had been discussed early on when we first invited numerous Sects to join forces for the raid on the Otherworld,” Ning Wuxu explained.
“At first, the factions will definitely fight together under the command of our Beast Taming Sect.
Once we defeat the Demon Gods of the opposing world and rout their armies on the battlefield, separation is inevitable.”
Ning Wuxu continued, “With so many cultivators, it’s not possible for everyone to stay together always, nor can such an arrangement help in occupying many areas.
In the end, we need to split into several groups, attacking different forces in the opposing world simultaneously, and also giving our allies in the Beast Taming Sect an opportunity to seize resources.
After all, their main motivation for participating is those benefits.
Our Beast Taming Sect can’t possibly hoard all the gains for ourselves; if that were the case, no other Sect would dare to cooperate with us in the future.”
“What a pity.”
Qin Feng said with some regret, “In this way, many of the resources will be shared with those sects.”
“If our Sect had insufficient strength, these events are unavoidable unless the strength of our Beast Taming Sect were many times stronger than it is now.
Otherwise, we simply don’t have the capability to single-handedly occupy a Medium World.”
Ning Wuxu sighed lightly, then added, “However, it’s not completely disadvantageous.
Since we couldn’t conquer that world alone, relying on other Sects to achieve victory is somewhat beneficial for us.
Furthermore, this arrangement also prevents heavy losses among our disciples.
Moreover, after this joint raid on the Otherworld, each Sect will gain substantial benefits.
If they wish to continue reaping benefits from that world, they must align themselves with our Beast Taming Sect.
From then on, they can only be allies of our Beast Taming Sect.”
“In this way, one might say that I indirectly strengthened our power, and gathering alliances in the future should be much easier,” Qin Feng nodded.
He realized his thinking had been rather narrow.
Since he had chosen to form alliances, it was only right to share the benefits with others.
He felt he should learn the magnanimity of his master; in circumstances that had become certain, he should find aspects that benefitted their side, just like this method of linking the interests of various Sects to their own Sect, was something he needed to learn.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, “Master, if the Sect could acquire abundant resources from another world, it should allow our Sect to develop rapidly, right?”
“It’s not that simple.”
Ning Wuxu said, “Even if everything goes smoothly, the Sect doesn’t lose many people during the expedition to otherworlds, and manages to obtain a large amount of resources, it would still take hundreds to thousands of years to train enough disciples to enhance the potential of the Sect.
And if you wish to turn potential into real power, you would need a large number of geniuses and a good number of people who can overcome tribulations to Prove Dao and become Immortals.
Only Immortals can change the structure of the Sect to some extent.
But to completely surpass the current state, there would need to be one or two more individuals with a Golden Immortal or higher level of Dao Cultivation.”
“Does it have to be a realm higher than Golden Immortal?”
Qin Feng frowned, considering the difficulty.
“Exactly.”
Ning Wuxu said leisurely, “Only beings above Golden Immortal truly embody the profound foundation that supports the Sect’s prosperity.
If both Gui Ling Ancestor and Elder Kongkong achieve Golden Immortal in the future, and more disciples succeed in Proving Dao to become Immortals, only then will the Sect genuinely thrive.
The smaller and medium Sects envy us, the Major Sects, so they do not want to miss this opportunity to grow and strengthen, earnestly responding to our call, hoping to receive ample benefits from otherworlds, and perhaps one day match the strength of our Beast Taming Sect.
Little do they know that we also yearn to become stronger and wish to be one of the overlords in the Southern Domain!”
“Overlord?”
Qin Feng asked curiously, “Master, if both Gui Ling Grandmaster and Grandmaster Kongkong advance to Golden Immortal, could we then become the overlord of the Southern Domain?”
Ning Wuxu shook his head, “We can only say there’s a hope, but in reality, it’s still a bit short.”
“Even three Golden Immortals aren’t enough?”
Qin Feng was astonished.
“What do you think?”
Ning Wuxu gave a bitter smile, “The founder of War God Palace, Ancestor Zhan Tian, who holds sway over the Southern Domain, has a Dao Cultivation in the Daluo Realm, with not a few under him being Saint Immortals in the Eternal Realm and Golden Immortals in the Immortal Realm.
The other two powerful groups also have strong beings in the Eternal Realm; we are still far behind them.”
Qin Feng was taken aback upon hearing this, “So many powerful individuals exist in our realm; we surely aren’t considered weak among the Great Worlds, right?”
“Definitely not weak, otherwise, we wouldn’t have lasted that long when attacked by many worlds during the Ancient Great Tribulation.”
Ning Wuxu shook his head, “Anyway, it’s pointless to talk about this; you should focus on your Cultivation, solidify your foundation, and seek to advance to Golden Core as soon as possible.
Your current Cultivation level still seems a bit weak on the battlefield.”
Qin Feng acknowledged.
As they spoke, the two had already walked outside.
“Have you decided which Spiritual Beast you want to obtain?”
Ning Wuxu asked, “There are many Spiritual Beasts in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven, each with strong Bloodlines and different abilities.
You also have a reward to claim a Spiritual Beast, have you thought about which one you want?”
Qin Feng hesitated.
The truth was, after seeing the myriad Spiritual Beasts in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven, claiming he wasn’t tempted would be a lie.
He desired many types of Spiritual Beasts.
He wanted a Spiritual Bird with even faster flying speed, so that he could quickly escape danger.
He wanted a Spiritual Beast with strong defense power to step forth and protect him in critical moments.
He wanted a Spiritual Beast with sharp and dominant attack capabilities to help him compete in otherworlds, one proficient in escaping for critical moments, and even one skilled in raids to deliver lethal blows to his opponents.
Moreover, he even wanted a Spiritual Beast that could lead him away from misfortune and was adept in the path of fate and karma, to avoid potential dangers that might come his way.
However, the last wish was purely his fanciful thinking.
Because no Spiritual Beast would be proficient in the path of fate and karma before Enlightenment, and even those naturally equipped with some fortune-avoiding abilities were extremely rare.
After learning that the Gui Ling Ancestor had the ability for Prediction Calculation, he entertained this idea; he too wanted such capabilities.
Unfortunately, the need for immense talent for Prediction Calculation was essential; otherwise, the complicated Karma Threads would confuse 99% of Cultivators.
He thought he might tame a Spirit Turtle with prediction capabilities— even if its power was initially lacking, it wouldn’t matter.
He could integrate the Bloodline Divine Power of other Spirit Turtles into it, potentially nurturing a Spirit Turtle that possessed both strong battle capabilities and prediction skills.
Plus, with the defensive power of the Spirit Turtle, it would also solve his lack of defensive Spiritual Beasts, killing several birds with one stone, indeed a well-calculated plan.
Unfortunately, the Demon Refining Pot currently only had two layers of space available, leaving no room for growth.
If he focused on integrating Bloodlines for his own Spiritual Beasts, there would be significant restrictions as well.
Currently, his Spirit Stones were running low, definitely not enough to further cultivate the Swallowing Sky Toad.
The only unrestricted option was the Ruyi Golden Snake since the second layer still supported with a Spirit Vein.
But now, this was his only chance to obtain a Spiritual Beast from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven; who knew when the next opportunity would come.
Compared to adding one or two Divine Skills to the Ruyi Golden Snake, he was more eager to acquire a rare and specially skilled Spiritual Beast.
