Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 404 - 401 Heaven-sent Qi Fortune Ambition Too Great

Chapter 404 -401 Heaven-sent Qi Fortune Ambition Too Great

In fact, the benefits Qin Feng obtained from this retreat were not just these.

After entering the initial stages of mastery over the water and earth elemental principles, the power of his corresponding divine powers and spells increased manifold, along with the inheritance of the Nine-Headed Snake’s bloodline and the various talent skills within the Rock Giant’s demon core, such as the Water Manipulation Technique, and the innate affinity with the earth, allowing him to continuously draw Earth Element Primordial Power and so on from the ground.

However, for Qin Feng, these were just additional abilities. Since he had even comprehended the Power of Laws, wasn’t it a matter of course that the power of his magic divine powers would increase? There wasn’t much to be said about it.

But his strength indeed increased substantially.

It was just a pity that he had no other laws to study for reference; otherwise, he would definitely continue his retreat and thoroughly understand the principles of other systems as well.

Actually, comprehending the Power of Laws is extremely difficult—not without reason do so many cultivators find themselves unable to breakthrough their current realms.

The reason Qin Feng was initially able to touch upon the Laws and comprehend the profound mysteries within was mainly because he had things to reference, whether it was the forbidden curse magic from the Nine-Headed Snake inheritance or the talent skills from the Rock Giant’s demon core, all of which involved the operation of the Power of Laws. This allowed him, through merging with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast and by transforming into the Rock Giant, to peek into the subtleties.

Now, aside from the bloodline inheritance of the Nine-Headed Snake and the Rock Giant’s demon core, he had no other means to acquire the Power of Rules, thus he could only put off his retreat for the time being.

However, now that he had begun to comprehend the Rule Power and had already organized the cultivation methods of the Golden Core Realm, there was no bottleneck to speak of before the Purple Mansion Realm—as long as his True Yuan was sufficient, he could directly break through to the Golden Core Peak.

This was why he had spoken in such a manner to his second senior brother, Hao Shicheng.

Because apart from not having enough True Yuan, he already possessed the Dao Cultivation Realm necessary for advancing to Purple Mansion; unlike Hao Shicheng, he was not half a step behind.

As for the accumulation of True Yuan, aside from diligently absorbing Spiritual Energy to refine True Yuan, there were many methods of external assistance to accelerate progress.

Such as various Spirit Pills and miracle medicines, such as all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, all of which, after being absorbed and refined, could help him cultivate to higher realms at a faster speed, just like the previous Dragon Spirit Fruit.

After learning the news about his master from Hao Shicheng, Qin Feng couldn’t help himself.

An Immortal!

And his own master at that!

Since it was his own master, it was natural not to miss the opportunity to gain benefits.

“Second senior brother, since I have already come out of retreat, I should go see Master no matter what. Otherwise, it would be too rude,” Qin Feng said as he grabbed Hao Shicheng’s sleeve and started flying through the air using Sky Controlling. “Let’s go, hurry and take me to see Master, lest we go late and Master enters retreat again.”

“Hey, hey, hey…”

Waving the jade medicine hoe in his hand helplessly, Hao Shicheng said, “What’s the rush? I haven’t finished tending to the spiritual medicine.”

“It’s not too late to tend to it when we come back.”

Qin Feng snatched the medicine hoe out of his hand, threw it onto the open space of the medicine garden, and eagerly pulled at his sleeve, flying towards Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven.

At the entrance of Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven, Qin Feng took out his Identity Jade Token as a true disciple and cast a spell. A gateway materialized in front of him, and the two walked straight in, with Hao Shicheng leading the way to Ning Wuxu’s place of cultivation.

This was a palace of modest size situated on top of a cliff, with picturesque scenery, abundant Spiritual Energy, exotic flora everywhere, and fragrance filling the air.

Qin Feng was about to knock on the palace’s grand door when it silently opened on its own.

“You two, come in,” Ning Wuxu’s voice called from inside.

Hearing this, the two quickly entered and following a path of Spirit Light, they arrived at the rear hall.

Ning Wuxu was sitting cross-legged in front of an enormous Eight Diagrams Pill Furnace, a content smile on his face, looking at his two disciples walking in.

“Disciple pays respects to Master,” the two bowed in salutation.

Hao Shicheng performed the salutation properly and then fell silent, but Qin Feng, with his sweet talk, said, “Congratulations to Master for achieving Immortal Dao, obtaining everlasting freedom and joy, and may Master enjoy eternal blessing and longevity, equal to the heavens!”

“Hehe…”

Ning Wuxu chuckled, waving his hand and said, “Alright, it’s always you with the sweet talk. Come on, get up.”

“Yes, Master.”

The two stood up and, following Ning Wuxu’s gesture, seated themselves on the cushions.

“Good, not bad.”

Ning Wuxu’s eyes were sharp, and with just a glance, he saw through Qin Feng’s current Cultivation Realm. When he noticed the slight Dao Rhythm circulating around Qin Feng, he nodded with satisfaction, “Very good, it seems that your recent secluded cultivation has been very fruitful, to the extent that you’ve even begun to grasp the Power of Laws. Although it’s just the beginning, as long as you’ve taken this step, your cultivation will not encounter any bottlenecks before reaching the Purple Mansion Realm.”

“Ah?”

Hao Shicheng was stunned, “Master, you mean to say that Junior Brother… he has already comprehended the mysteries of the laws?”

“Correct.”

Ning Wuxu said, “Not only has he understood the laws, but from what I can see, your Junior Brother’s aura is both light and substantial, suggesting he has not just realized one, but two Principle Powers: those of Water and Earth.

Good, very good. My disciples really do outdo one another, and this proves that my efforts have not been in vain!”

“Master.”

Hao Shicheng said helplessly, “Disciple’s strength is not comparable to Eldest Senior Brother, so how can one outdo another?”

“I’m not counting you.”

Ning Wuxu said, “Your Eldest Senior Brother was quite good in his day; after all, he fought for the position of a True Disciple. Although Junior Sister Xuanling was not a True Disciple, she outdid herself later on, overshadowing that Long Qibian fellow. After advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm, it took her just a few years to grow to strength while training in the Red Flame Demon Realm, now comparable to your Eldest Senior Brother.

But now Feng is even more outstanding. It’s been just over a decade since he entered the Mountain Gate and he is yet to reach his prime years, but he has managed to possess this Dao Cultivation and grasp two laws, forging a bright future ahead. I take pride in you as my disciple!”

Qin Feng quickly responded with humility, “It’s all thanks to Master’s excellent guidance; otherwise, I would not have had such an opportunity.”

“Ah, you can’t say that.”

Ning Wuxu showed a smile on his face, gently stroked his beard, evidently very pleased with Qin Feng’s modesty, but he still said, “While the guidance of a master is indispensable, it is also inseparable from your own efforts. As they say, a master can lead you to the door, but cultivation is up to the individual. Your achievements today come mainly from your own hard work.”

“Master praises too highly, disciple…”

Hao Shicheng just watched numbly as his Master and Junior Brother exchanged compliments. After a while, he heaved a deep sigh, “Why do I always feel like I’m superfluous, as though I was merely picked up?”

“You were indeed picked up by me!”

Ning Wuxu glanced at him, “You wouldn’t have forgotten about that, would you? Remember that year when you were only about ten years old, running naked in the river catching loaches, and then you encountered an underdeveloped Turtle Demon. Scared witless by the Turtle Demon, you ran naked along the shore for three to five miles and in the end, you couldn’t outrun the Turtle Demon. Exhausted and collapsed on the ground, by chance, I found you and brought you back to our Sect.”

“Master!”

Hao Shicheng’s face darkened, “Can’t we not talk about what happened back then?”

“How can we forget about a life-saving grace? Second Senior Brother, don’t forget the kindness Master showed you back in the day.”

Qin Feng chimed in, cheeky and grinning. Leaning forward, he said, “Master, could you tell me more about the time when Second Senior Brother was running naked and racing with a Turtle Demon? I am quite interested in hearing about the glorious deeds of Second Senior Brother who could outrun a Turtle Demon even before he began his cultivation.”

“Little Junior Brother, don’t go too far. Are you challenging the authority of your Senior Brother?”

“Tch!”

Qin Feng glanced at him, “Second Senior Brother, it seems you can’t beat me, right?”

“Don’t use your Rock Giant transformation if you dare!”

“I also have a Giant Dragon.”

“You…”

Hao Shicheng was somewhat frustrated, “Wait until after I break through my realm before you say that.”

At that, Qin Feng immediately laughed, “Second Senior Brother, are you sure you will advance before me?”

Hao Shicheng glared, and eventually realizing that he couldn’t beat his Junior Brother no matter what, had no choice but to compromise dejectedly, “Alright, later on, I’ll tell you a story about how Junior Sister Liu ate herself into a little fatty when she was young.”

“There’s such a story?”

“You don’t know half of it,” Hao Shicheng teased. “For instance, when Junior Sister Liu was a little girl, she liked to run around everywhere. One time, she ran to a fellow disciple of the Vermilion Bird Lineage who raised swans, and ended up being chased around by a not yet mature swan, pecking at her butt. In order to teach her a lesson and curb her naughtiness, our master didn’t apply any Spiritual Medicine, and Junior Sister Liu didn’t dare to sit down for several days.”

Qin Feng snickered, “I would have never guessed that Senior Sister Liu had such an embarrassing incident. But Second Senior Brother, aren’t you worried that Senior Sister Liu will come after you for trouble if she finds out you told me this?”

“What’s there to be afraid of, do you really dare to brag about knowing these things in front of Junior Sister Liu?” Hao Shicheng looked smug and fearless.

Qin Feng thought that was right; if Liu Xuanling found out he had secretly inquired about her past humiliations, he didn’t know how she’d deal with him.

“Alright, alright.” Ning Wuxu waved his hand and seriously said, “I’m quite pleased with your rapid progress, Feng’er. Now that you have begun to understand the Power of Laws, I will explain the wonders of the Law to you, so you don’t just blindly use it without truly understanding it, rendering it ineffective.”

“Disciple listens respectfully to Master’s teachings.”

Upon hearing this from Ning Wuxu, Qin Feng immediately quieted down. He was more interested in his own path of Dao than those gossips. Wasn’t the reason he had come in such a hurry to see his master exactly to listen to his teachings and prepare for his future advancements?

“Good.” Ning Wuxu nodded and began to explain, “The Dao is formless, yet it is everywhere. Within the world, it manifests as the Heavenly Dao Laws, which are the rules of a world. For example, the Law that flames can burn everything, the Law that water can nourish all life, the Law that the Earth bears all things, and the Law that plants grow naturally are all part of it. Everything you see can be traced back to the rules derived from the Dao. And these rules cannot be defied, just as you cannot make water burn everything or have flames bear all things. We cultivators observe the heavens and comprehend the Dao, ultimately mastering the Laws. Not only can we use the Laws to achieve longevity, but we can also exert combat power far beyond our own cultivation. For instance, if you have mastered the Fire Element Law, with its boost, you can transform an ordinary flame into one possessing the power to burn the sky and boil the sea. Even the tiniest spark, if endowed with the corresponding Law, can become an eternal, undying flame…”

Ning Wuxu, after becoming an Immortal, had made significant progress in his Dao cultivation and had a very thorough understanding of the Laws. His explanation was like an enlightenment to Qin Feng, and in a flash, many previously unclear concepts became clear.

So, this was the Law. Utilizing the Law in spells and incantations could yield such formidable power. No wonder the combat power of a Golden Core Cultivator was so much weaker than that of someone in the Purple Mansion Realm; even the simplest use of a Law could make them several times stronger than a Golden Core Cultivator.

Since Ning Wuxu knew that his understanding of the Laws was very limited, he didn’t go into deeper topics. Later, he simply focused on how to apply the Laws in divine powered spells and incantations. This session lasted for half a day, and Qin Feng was so engrossed that he didn’t even notice when Hao Shicheng left.

Hao Shicheng didn’t want to miss his master’s teachings, but since he had yet to comprehend the application of the Laws, listening to these explanations was like reading arcane text, utterly incomprehensible and eventually soporific. Not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his master, he quietly bowed and left after a while.

Unbeknownst to him, Ning Wuxu had stopped speaking. Qin Feng closed his eyes to contemplate, immersing his spirit fully in the intricacy of applying the Laws. It was after a long while that he digested a part of it. The rest required him to take his time to understand them and to practice applying various divine powered spells and incantations to grasp their true essence.

“How is it, do you have any questions? Feel free to ask your master,” Ning Wuxu said with pride, looking at his disciple. To have taught such an outstanding disciple, what was there to be unsatisfied about?

“Master, I do have many uncertainties, please enlighten me,” Qin Feng quickly responded.

“Oh? Just ask.” Upon his master’s approval, Qin Feng brought up all the questions he had accumulated over the years of secluded cultivation, even laying out his Cultivation Techniques for Ning Wuxu to critique, along with his inspirations and ideas, then asked his master to point out their deficiencies.

Even though the Beast Taming Sect does not allow the transmission of the Sect’s cultivation techniques to outsiders, within the same lineage, there aren’t so many taboos, especially between mentor and disciple, there’s no need to guard them so strictly. This can be seen as the nine true inheritances of the Spiritual Snake lineage are freely practiced by disciples within the Inner Sect.

Moreover, Ning Wuxu had already become an Immortal and attained the Dao. It was impossible for him to discard his own cultivation to snatch his disciple’s cultivation techniques, let alone cut off Qin Feng’s path forward.

Therefore, Qin Feng had no qualms about sharing his cultivation technique.

Ning Wuxu’s insight and perspective were far beyond what Qin Feng could compare with. To Ning Wuxu, what Qin Feng considered an already perfect technique immediately revealed seven or eight flaws.

Even so, Ning Wuxu couldn’t help but praise Qin Feng’s technique, “For you to have developed your self-created Golden Core Realm technique to this extent is quite remarkable.

Your approach is novel and enlightening, even for me as your teacher. However, you’re being a bit too ambitious. With the direction you’ve considered for cultivation, there is so much to understand. You’ve touched upon so many different paths of cultivation, which will greatly increase the difficulty of your cultivation.”

At this point, Ning Wuxu frowned slightly, “The techniques created by predecessors generally fall into two categories. One category is like the broad and general ‘Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture’ inherited from our Ancestors, which, despite its breadth, gives later generations of disciples the opportunity to venture down new paths using this technique. That is why our Beast Taming Sect’s nine veins have flourished like a hundred flowers blossoming, giving rise to so many true teachings.

The other category encompasses techniques oriented in a single direction. These are the most popular and common in the Cultivation World. For example, all of the nine true techniques of our Spiritual Snake lineage are like this, where the ‘Bone-Eroding Soul-Destroying Heavenly Evil Technique’ specializes in the Poison Dao, the ‘Netherworld Yin Snake Seven Incantations’ focuses solely on Curses, and the ‘Spiritual Snake Illusion Heart Technique’ cultivates Illusion Techniques.

Most other Sect techniques in the Cultivation World are like this; for instance, the Fiery Fire Sect’s ‘Fiery Fire Great Method’ specializes in the Fire Dao. Similarly, the Kuangsha Palace’s ‘Gale Heart Technique’ concentrates only on the Wind Dao. There are few that cover as wide a range as yours, aiming to master all aspects.”

“Doesn’t the Cultivation World have such techniques?” Qin Feng curiously asked.

“Techniques like yours exist, but are very rare,” Ning Wuxu pondered and said, “For instance, the fundamental ‘Great Five Elements Formula’ of the East Domain’s Five Elements Sect requires the comprehension of the Dao Principles of all five elements, and only after mastering all can one achieve successful cultivation.

But apart from the Five Elements Ancestor who created this technique, no other disciple has managed to bring the ‘Great Five Elements Formula’ to Great Success. Instead, they split the ‘Great Five Elements Formula’ and cultivated only one element, and thus several Golden Immortals emerged consecutively.

The Palace Master of the East Sea Divine Water Palace created her own Technique called ‘All Rivers Return to the Source,’ claiming to master all waters, which requires the cultivation of various True Waters and understanding different Water Element Principles. However, among her thousands of disciples, not one has been able to inherit the true teachings of the Divine Water Palace Master.

And then there’s Ghost Ancestor Cang Yang from the Northern Domain’s Ten-direction Ghost City, who created ‘The Ten Directions Hell Dao’ that shook the world and subdued the Ten Directions Ghost Realm, achieving the renowned title of the Ghost Ancestor.

But his ten major disciples could only each choose to cultivate one path, and only then did they make some achievements.

It’s not that those people lacked talent or that their aptitudes were truly inferior to those Sect founders, but because such techniques are extremely difficult to cultivate. Ghost Ancestor and others like him were the favored of the era during the Ancient Great Tribulation, children of Qi Fortune, who, after being blessed by the Qi Fortune of the world, managed to reach those heights. In normal times, who could cultivate so many Daos simultaneously, and harmoniously integrate these Daos into one technique?”

“Master, although it is not the era of the Ancient Great Tribulation now, maybe this disciple could also be blessed with the Qi Fortune of heaven and earth,” Qin Feng said, “With the various factions venturing to plunder the resources of the Void Ten Thousand Realms to compensate for our Biluo Great World’s losses during the Ancient Great Tribulation, we should surely attract the attention of the World Will. If a great contribution is made to the World Origin, wouldn’t heaven and earth also bestow great Qi Fortune?”

“You do see things clearly,” Ning Wuxu laughed, “Indeed, if you can obtain sufficient resources or something greatly beneficial to the World Origin, the Heavenly Dao will naturally bestow Qi Fortune upon you.

Even now, due to your great contributions to the Sect, the Qi Fortune of our Beast Taming Sect has already trended towards you. And your participation in the expedition to the Red Flame Demon Realm and achieving victory has played no small part. As the Sect brings back more resources from the Red Flame Demon Realm, if the Heavenly Dao feels it, your Qi Fortune will become denser than other cultivators.

However, your contributions aren’t sufficient yet, so it isn’t very noticeable. The larger share of the Heavenly Dao’s Qi Fortune still rests upon the Sect, making the Qi Fortune of our Beast Taming Sect more prosperous.

If one day you truly make a major contribution to the Biluo Great World, the Heavenly Dao will naturally look favorably upon you, but who knows when that will be.”

“I see!” Qin Feng thought for a moment and nodded, “No wonder I have felt things going so smoothly lately. Even Chu Youhong of Taiyi Mountain died by my hand. He should have been the Red Lotus Sword Master, and even with severe injuries, he shouldn’t have died so easily.

And my comprehension of the Power of Laws, originally I thought I’d have to wait until the Golden Core Peak period to understand it, but to think I managed so early on—it must also be due to the deepening of my Qi Fortune.”

“You already know that,” Ning Wuxu sighed, “As my disciple, it naturally pleases me as your teacher to have such a genius among my students. However, not to dampen your spirits, but your ambition to cultivate nine kinds of Principle Power may very likely end up in vain.

With the Qi Fortune you have right now, let alone compared to the Ghost Ancestor and others from the era of the Ancient Great Tribulation, you are still far behind even when compared to elders like Gui Ling Ancestor and Elder Kongkong.

Listen to your teacher’s advice. You might as well focus on one path as your main cultivation route. If in the future you see a chance for achieving Dao, then gradually cultivate other Principles as well. There’s no need to bring so much difficulty upon yourself in the early stages of cultivation.

Ordinary Golden Core Cultivators seeking to comprehend a single Principle achieve it not, and the majority meet their demise brooding at the peak of Golden Core,

You have already comprehended two Principles, which is already an immense stroke of luck, but Principles are all different. You couldn’t possibly expect that just because you’ve comprehended the Water Element Principle, it would make it any easier with the other Principles; on the contrary, the Principles you’ve already comprehended might create interference, making it even harder to understand others.

This is also why I insisted on finding a demon beast with the same origin as me for my Druid transformation.”
