Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 128 - 126 Teased

Chapter 128: Chapter 126 Teased

Aboard the Flying Boat, Elder Yin Qi and Gu Qinghan furrowed their brows upon hearing the report from An Ruhui and the others.

Their perspective differed greatly from that of the disciples.

For Qi Refining Realm disciples like Qin Feng, most were merely hoping to take advantage of the mission to make a fortune, eagerly anticipating how many Spirit Stones they would receive once the Sect issued its rewards.

Even Foundation Establishment Cultivators like An Ruhui and Chu Suiliang were ultimately still Outer Disciples with insufficient Cultivation to access many secrets.

But Elder Yin Qi was different.

Though they served as Elders at the Outer Peaks, they were in fact Inner Sect Disciples sent by their mentors to oversee those Peaks.

...

Thus, they were privy to much that was hidden.

Where ordinary Disciples thought of personal gain from the mission, they wondered where this Demon God had come from, what strength it possessed, and whether there were more followers elsewhere.

Such elusive Demon Gods were truly the most troubling because discovering their true form was exceedingly difficult.

As they were deep in thought, Qin Feng quietly approached the cabin door and knocked to request an audience.

“Disciple Qin Feng greets the two Elders.”

Elder Yin Qi glanced at him and recognized a disciple from his own Spiritual Snake Peak.

However, since he habitually wore a cold expression as though everyone owed him a great debt of Spirit Stones, his gaze toward Qin Feng, while not harsh, was also devoid of warmth.

“What is it?” he asked.

“Reporting to the Elder, during this mission when I, along with several fellow disciples, encircled the Demon God Believers, while chasing one I accidentally entered their grand hall. The Demon God pressured me with threats and temptations, forcing me to carry a stone statue imbued with its Divine Sense to help it escape,” Qin Feng said frankly. “The Demon God even wished for me to establish a new sect on its behalf to gather followers. Left with no choice, I pretended to agree, and now I have the Demon God Stone Statue in my possession…”

“What did you say?”

Even the usually stoic Elder Yin Qi couldn’t maintain his composure, suddenly rising to his feet, his gloomy triangular eyes focusing on Qin Feng, “You have the stone statue with the Demon God’s Divine Sense?”

“Uh… Yes.”

Startled by his intense reaction, which was out of character for Elder Yin Qi, Qin Feng was taken aback.

No longer concerned with maintaining his aloof image, Elder Yin Qi urged anxiously, “Quickly, bring it out for me to see?”

“Yes.”

Qin Feng complied, reaching towards the glistening belly of the Swallowing Sky Toad and pressing it softly.

The Swallowing Sky Toad gave a slight cooing sound and then spat out a Storage Bag.

Elder Yin Qi’s mouth twitched.

Under normal circumstances, he would have been surprised that a disciple had tamed a resource-consuming glutton like the Swallowing Sky Toad as a Spiritual Beast.

But with his mind preoccupied with the Demon God Stone Statue, such details were of little concern to him. With a wave of his hand, the Storage Bag flew into it.

Elder Yin Qi examined the seven or eight common Sealing Spirit Talismans stuck to it, giving Qin Feng a strange look.

He intended to peel off the Talismans and probe with his Divine Sense, but he feared disturbing the Demon God within. After a moment’s thought, he asked again, “Are you certain the Stone Statue you put into the Storage Bag contains the Demon God’s Divine Sense?”

“It shouldn’t be wrong,” Qin Feng explained, “It said it wanted me to become its new Holy Envoy and would bestow power upon me. At the time, I used some trickery to muddle through.”

He released the Ghost-Faced Spider, saying, “Elder, please look. My Ghost-Faced Spider initially had only the strength of the late Qi Refining Realm. When the Demon God forcefully infused its Magic Power into me, I transferred it into the Ghost-Faced Spider. Now its strength has increased by more than tenfold. The Demon God, thinking it had control over me, is unlikely to abandon the Divine Sense in the statue lightly.”

Elder Yin Qi watched the Ghost-Faced Spider for a while, then looked to Gu Qinghan thoughtfully.

Gu Qinghan’s eyes twinkled with Spirit Light as he calculated for a moment and said, “To be safe, we better not probe hastily. Let’s quickly summon the disciples back to the Mountain Gate and hand this over to the Sect Elders. We will know whether it is genuine once they examine it.”

“Good.”

Elder Yin Qi nodded and then told Qin Feng, “Keep this matter to yourself. Once we return to the Mountain Gate, I will ensure your contributions are recognized. If this turns out to be true, you will certainly be rewarded.”

“Thank you, Elder.”

Qin Feng bowed and expressed his thanks.

“Okay, you may go now.”

Elder Yin Qi waved his hand, and after Qin Feng had left the cabin, he looked at the storage bag in his hand and suddenly produced several high-grade Spirit Talismans with flashing Spirit Light. These included Sealing Spirit Talismans, Sealing God Talismans, and Demon Suppression Talismans, pasting another layer onto the small storage bag.

After finishing this task, he went out, instructed two Foundation Establishment Cultivators to stay behind and to find those disciples who hadn’t returned yet. He ordered them to continue searching for the Demon God Believers and to exterminate them all, not sparing a single one to prevent those who had suddenly gained power from wreaking havoc.

He needed to return to the Sect immediately, so he wouldn’t wait here any longer. As for those disciples who were left behind, after clearing out all the Demon God Believers, they were to return on their own.

After giving his orders, the Elder, without another word, drove the Flying Boat directly into escape, leaving behind two Foundation Establishment Cultivators who felt somewhat baffled, not understanding what madness Elder Yin Qi was up to now.

However, they dared not ask and could only heave a light sigh before splitting up to inform the teams that hadn’t returned yet.

The Flying Boat zipped away like lightning, nearly fifty percent faster than on the way there. Under Elder Yin Qi’s disregard for the consumption of resources, it took only a little over one day to return from Nanyue Country to the Mountain Gate.

If it had not been for the assistance of Gu Qinghan midway, he wouldn’t have been able to sustain such a massive consumption.

Upon returning to the Sect, before they could even report the details of the mission to the Elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall, they left all the disciples behind and drove the Light Escape directly to the Inner Sect.

An Ruhui and the others were also somewhat at a loss, but they didn’t think too much about it and went straight into the Foreign Affairs Hall to recount the details of the mission to the Deacon there.

Since this mission was quite special, the rewards could only be distributed after Yin Qi and Gu Qinghan returned to clarify the situation to the Foreign Affairs Hall. The Deacon of the hall recorded their exploits and achievements and then let them go back first.

“Senior Sister, let’s go.”

Wen Qing’er pulled Qin Xi’s hand, ready to leave.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Xi said, “You go back with Senior Sister An first, I have something to talk about with Afeng. I’ll return to Creation Peak later.”

Wen Qing’er glanced at Qin Feng, didn’t say much, nodded her head, and after saying goodbye to them, she left with An Ruhui.

After greeting Ma Jiu and the others, Qin Feng and Qin Xi returned to Spiritual Snake Peak.

“Afeng, when did you succeed in merging with your Lifebound Spiritual Beast?”

As soon as she entered the room, without even waiting to sit down and rest, Qin Xi, with eyes shining, couldn’t wait to ask the question.

She was really too curious. To be able to merge with a Lifebound Spiritual Beast in the Qi Refining Realm was something that usually only happened to the top-tier talent of the Outer Sect, like Kong Xuan and Ma Xingkong.

She never expected that her own cousin could achieve this as well.

Could it be that the Qin Family was really about to produce an Inner Sect Disciple?

Previously, she was concerned about revealing Qin Feng’s privacy due to the many people around and had forcefully held back from asking, but now, back at Qin Feng’s residence, the girl couldn’t help but give in to her curiosity and ask.

“Hehe…”

Seeing her shining eyes, Qin Feng couldn’t help but find it amusing and said, “Actually, it was just a few days ago. If it weren’t for the fact that I could merge with my Lifebound Spiritual Beast, I really wouldn’t have dared to take on the mission to encircle and suppress the Demon Cultivators so easily.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Qin Xi nodded and then asked curiously, “What exactly is your Lifebound Spiritual Beast? I can’t recognize it. Those golden wings were so strange. Did you not choose a type of Spiritual Snake as your Spiritual Beast?”

“It’s the Ruyi Golden Snake.”

As Qin Feng spoke, he extended his hand and the Ruyi Golden Snake immediately slithered to the palm of his hand. He even spread its wings for Qin Xi to get a clear look: “Look, this is the Spiritual Snake.”

Qin Xi gazed with wide eyes for a moment, even reaching out her fair little hand to touch the Ruyi Golden Snake a few times: “Such a strange Spiritual Snake, I’ve seen Winged Snakes, Feathered Snakes, and Flying Snakes in the Ten Thousand Demons Catalog, but I never thought that in addition to those species, there would be this kind of winged Spiritual Snake.”

“The Ruyi Golden Snake is indeed rare. In the records of Spiritual Snake Peak, it has appeared only once in tens of thousands of years during the Ancient Great Tribulation, so it’s normal you don’t know of it.”

Qin Feng smiled: “This is a Gold Element Exotic Species, with a very strong attack power. I acquired it by chance.”

“Hmm.”

Qin Xi nodded enviously.

Her cousin could already merge with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, while she hadn’t even found a shadow of hers.

Sigh, she wondered when she would find her own Lifebound.

She quickly suppressed these thoughts. The disciples of Creation Peak did not compete with others in terms of the speed of cultivation because the elves born from the creation of the world were too rare and not as common as other Spiritual Beasts, so acquiring them still relied on chance.

Of course, that didn’t mean there weren’t established ways to find them. Otherwise, the Creation Peak lineage would have ended long ago.

When their cultivation reached a certain point, the Peak Master would naturally guide them to where they can find their Lifebound.

Qin Xi playfully teased the Ruyi Golden Snake for a while, then suddenly remembered that this Spiritual Snake had been refined by Qin Feng as his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, which was different from ordinary Spiritual Snakes since it was controlled by Qin Feng’s Divine Sense. She quickly retracted her fingers.

Qin Feng also felt a bit awkward, as if he were being teased by his little cousin.

He put away the Ruyi Golden Snake with a flip of his hand and deliberately changed the subject, “By the way, Sister Xiaoxi, I heard that the disciples of Creation Peak will go to various Spiritual Lands and Secret Realms to seek their fates. Now that you’re in the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, are you also starting to prepare for the matter of the Lifebound?”
