Chapter 417 - 417 414 My Senior Sister and I Cultivate the
Chapter 417: Chapter 414: My Senior Sister and I Cultivate the Supreme Method Together Chapter 417: Chapter 414: My Senior Sister and I Cultivate the Supreme Method Together Qin Feng looked at the fragments of bones on the ground that belonged to Zi Yan, and couldn’t help but sigh, “These two demon cultivators really had some fortunate opportunities to have obtained the inheritance of Daoist Wuji. What a pity, your luck was too thin, and before you could even grasp the basics of cultivation, you dared to wander recklessly, which led to your fatal disaster. In the end, it turned out to be a boon for me!”
He shook his head with a contemplative look, then put the Yin Yang Jade Pendant away with the back of his hand, planning to study it when he got the chance.
This was an inheritance from Daoist Wuji, one he was not willing to give up.
Of course, he wouldn’t change his cultivation to this technique.
While the inheritance of Daoist Wuji did indeed provide a direct path to the Immortal Dao, and the creator of this cultivation had been obliterated many years ago, nobody would obstruct his way should he truly prove the Dao with this technique in the future!
But the “Yin Yang Great Sorrow Ode” was after all imbued with too many doctrines of the Demon Sect, and Daoist Wuji was persecuted by the Heavenly Dao mainly because he had delved into the Demon Path.
Qin Feng did not wish to attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao by cultivating this technique, because even if his Qi Fortune was tied to the Beast Taming Sect, if he were deemed a demon cultivator by the Heavenly Dao, there would be no tolerance for him whatsoever.
After all, the Ancient Great Tribulation had brought too much suffering to the Biluo Great World over tens of thousands of years, and so the World Will had zero tolerance for those who would disrupt the peace of this world.
However, if he could integrate some of the inheritances and concepts of the “Yin Yang Great Sorrow Ode” into his own technique, that would be a different matter.
His cultivation technique was self-created, and he hadn’t yet fully decided on what path to take next. Once he advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm, he could certainly do so.
Of course, with his current level of cultivation, he could only simply integrate some of the concepts. To fully comprehend and integrate Daoist Wuji’s inheritance was unthinkable.
After all, Daoist Wuji was someone who had nearly ascended to immortality and come close to becoming a Golden Immortal Great Power with this self-created technique. To be able to draw on even a small part of this inheritance was already an enormous opportunity; comprehending it completely would at the very least require reaching the same Realm that Daoist Wuji had achieved in his time.
The true reason Qin Feng valued this inheritance was not because of its high level.
What he valued was its ability to take two opposing Powers of Laws and convert them through a special method into a mutually complementary and even stronger force. Just as Yin Ruoxu and Zi Yan, despite cultivating two different techniques, were able to combine their powers to unleash the war power of Purple Mansion Perfection with just the early stage strength of Purple Mansion.
That was the combined might of the two of them. If Qin Feng could control such power in his own hands, the war power he could unleash would far exceed his imagination.
It was a pity that the level of this inheritance was too high, and even to get started on cultivating it would require the understanding of the corresponding Laws. Even Yin Ruoxu and Zi Yan, who had both become Purple Mansion Cultivators, still needed to work together to cultivate even the introductory techniques. One could imagine the real difficulty of cultivating it, and even if one did manage to practice it, the result was uncertain.
After all, Daoist Wuji created this inheritance for his own path to proving the Dao and never considered how to make it easier for others to cultivate.
Qin Feng wasn’t even on the same level as those two yet, so he certainly wasn’t qualified to start cultivating the “Yin Yang Great Sorrow Ode,” and he could only temporarily put it away and wait until he reached the Purple Mansion Realm to start.
However, even though he couldn’t cultivate it yet, he could still make preparations in advance.
For example, he could consider which Powers of Laws he would need for future cultivation.
If he could also understand the Laws of Pure Yin and Pure Yang, just by utilizing the methods from the “Yin Yang Great Sorrow Ode,” even if he had just entered the Purple Mansion Realm, he might be able to unleash the same kind of war power that Yin Ruoxu and Zi Yan had.
Once he accomplished this, with his own war power already substantially exceeding that of ordinary cultivators, and not relying on spiritual beasts, he would have the capability to fight above his level.
By then, even the Saint Heirs from those great Holy Lands might not be stronger than him at the same Realm!
Of course, the prerequisite is that he must be able to comprehend the corresponding Laws; otherwise, he would have to learn from Yin Ruoxu and the others, and cultivate in concert with his fellow sect members.
Hmm, Senior Sister Liu has integrated the “Heavenly Snake Swallowing the Moon Technique” with the “Taiyin Refining God Technique,” cultivating the utmost yin and frigid Power of Taiyin, and understanding the Taiyin Principle as well as the path of the Ice Soul Divine Light. If I am able to grasp the Pure Yang Principle, it would be possible to cultivate this method with my senior sister, where yin and yang complement each other, nourish each other, and can exhibit magical powers and divine abilities far beyond our respective realms.
However, to cultivate this method together, it also requires that both individuals are in harmony. Qin Feng can’t guarantee that his senior sister would be willing to cultivate this Supreme Method with him.
If his senior sister thinks him of harboring ulterior motives, having ill intentions, or attempting something unspeakable under the guise of yin and yang harmony, she might just end up teaching him a lesson.
“Senior sister has been quite good to me, if I explain the power of this method clearly to her, she probably won’t beat me up, right?”
Qin Feng pondered in his heart.
Although the joint cultivation of this inheritance requires the complement of yin and yang, and indeed seems somewhat indescribable, as long as his relationship with senior sister is pure, and he maintains his cultivation intention, that should prevent any misunderstandings.
But thinking of Liu Xuanling’s stunning face and figure, Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel a leap in his heart. Could he… truly maintain his cultivation focus and not harbor any stray thoughts?
“Nephew Qin…”
From afar, a voice came, interrupting Qin Feng’s thoughts.
He turned his head and saw a streak of Light Escape flying hastily toward him.
In the blink of an eye, Elder Yang Ling had already arrived.
He glanced at the battle traces on the ground and the scene of charred remains that were just a few fragmented bones, and nodded in satisfaction, “Nephew Qin is indeed impressive, to have slain that witch so quickly on the spot.”
“Mainly, it was thanks to the strength of the two elders.”
Qin Feng complimented, “Earlier, this woman had sustained severe injuries and couldn’t manifest even forty or fifty percent of her Cultivation. If the disciple could not have slain her, that would have been quite useless.”
“Hehe, even injured, that was still a Purple Mansion Realm demon. It’s not easy to kill one, and for Nephew Qin to slay her so effortlessly, it won’t be long before you surpass your uncle.”
“Elder Yang Ling is too kind.”
“It is nephew who is too modest.”
Elder Yang Ling sighed, “The True Disciples from my generation in our line I am quite familiar with, and I have had dealings with True Disciples from other sects too. However, to have achieved what you have at the Golden Core Realm is absolutely rare. I’m afraid even those from the several great holy lands’ True Inheritances couldn’t possibly achieve such accomplishments at your young age.”
Qin Feng simply smiled, not continuing the topic further.
After all, having not tested his strength against top-level sects or True Disciples from the great holy lands, he couldn’t assert the extent of his power.
But apart from certain genuine Heavenly Prides, and those chosen sons of Heaven endowed with favored Qi Fortune, his power should have already reached the top amongst cultivators of the same level.
Indeed, this includes his Spiritual Beast.
After all, he was a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, and compared to those geniuses who relied solely on their own strength to battle above their level, there was some difference.
The two chatted for a moment before standing up to return.
Of course, the return trip did not need to be as hurried as when they were chasing Zi Yan before. Moreover, both Qin Feng and the White Dragon had expended quite a bit of energy, and Elder Yang Ling had taken a direct hit from two demon cultivators who jointly cast the “Yin Yang Great Sorrow Ode” during the battle. Both he and his spiritual beast had suffered injuries of varying degrees. As a result, their pace had slowed considerably.
After all, there was only one demon of the Purple Mansion Realm left from the Blood God Sect. With three elders from the Red Cloud Palace joining forces to surround and kill him, and with Elder Zi Lan staying behind to oversee the situation, there would surely not be any problems, so there was no need for them to rush.
As expected, when they returned to the battlefield, the fight had already ended.
As for the battle in the market where Golden Core cultivators were besieging three Golden Core demon cultivators, that had been settled even earlier. So many Golden Core cultivators dealing with just three frightened demon cultivators, naturally, there wouldn’t be any accidents.
Among the three elders from the Red Cloud Palace, aside from Chi Yuan who had previously been injured by Blood Shadow’s counterattack while preventing his escape, the other two were unharmed.
Of course, the most important factor was their numerical advantage, which allowed them to fight the Blood God Sect’s demon cultivators with ease. If Elder Shi hadn’t joined the fight at the end, Chi Yuan and the other would likely have sustained even greater injuries, and it would have been uncertain whether they could have captured Blood Shadow or not.
After all, it is quite difficult to stop cultivators of the same level from escaping, let alone demon cultivators from the Demon Sect with their crafty methods.
However, the biggest losses were on the Beast Taming Sect’s side.
Both Elder Yang Ling and Elder Zi Lan were stronger, and with the help of their spiritual beasts, they were far more formidable than the three elders from the Red Cloud Palace. However, the opponents they faced were also not comparable to the two demons from the Blood God Sect.
The combined strength of the two from the Yin Yang Demon Sect had severely injured their two spiritual beasts. Without a decade or so of careful recuperation, it was unlikely that the spiritual beasts would fully recover.
But this was also what made the Beast Taming Sect’s opponents so frustrated.
In times of danger, the tamers would send their spiritual beasts to fight first. In tough battles, the spiritual beasts take the forefront. As a result, in many fights involving the Beast Taming Sect, even if there were injuries, they tend to first appear on the spiritual beasts, and only later on the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect.
That’s why many opponents were reluctant to fight them, as facing the Beast Taming Sect’s cultivators often meant first dealing with their spiritual beasts.
Ordinary combat methods were also less effective at weakening the Beast Taming Sect cultivators’ strength. Instead, their own power would be drained by the opponent’s spiritual beasts, a rather helpless situation.
“Thank you, everyone.”
Elder Shi from Shi Chahai formally expressed his gratitude, “Previously, vassal families under our Red Cloud Palace were slaughtered by the Blood God Sect. Now these demon cultivators have grown even bolder. Had it not been for Little Friend Qin discovering the traces of the Demon Sect’s cultivators, and without the assistance of Daoist Zi Lan and Daoist Yang Ling, it would have been difficult to capture so many demon cultivators this time. Instead, they would have continued to slaughter everywhere and plunder numerous families, which would have caused serious losses to our Red Cloud Palace.”
“Elder Shi is being too polite.”
Elder Zi Lan said, “Demon Sect cultivators dare to commit such atrocities here. It is only right that our Beast Taming Sect intervene. Elder Shi need not thank us.”
“Elders, this place is not suitable for discussion. Please move and rest for a while in the market,”
among the few Golden Core cultivators who remained in the market, the manager of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion’s branch stepped forward and invited them to rest in the market.
The elders did not refuse, partly because after a long battle, they needed to restore their True Yuan.
Moreover, Elder Shi Chahai and his group were unhurt, but Elder Zi Lan and Elder Yang Ling both had some injuries, especially their Spiritual Beasts, which were in need of careful nurturing. Therefore, it was indeed time to find a place to rest before discussing other matters.
In any case, most of the Golden Core Cultivators in the Market had followed Elder Shi’s orders to team up and patrol nearby families. If there were any Demon Cultivators who had slipped through the net, they couldn’t have been too strong; with their power, they were more than capable of dealing with them.
Even if they couldn’t cope, given how close they were to the Market, all they needed to do was to send a Communication Talisman, and Elder Shi and the others would certainly come to their rescue in the shortest possible time.
Qin Feng spent several days recuperating in the Market.
His own True Yuan was easy to recover, but waiting for the White Dragon’s power to return to full strength required some time, so he wasn’t in a rush to leave.
During these days, not only did Elder Shi often bring Chi Yuan to bond with him, hoping to familiarize the face that Red Cloud Palace planned to cultivate with Qin Feng, a True Disciple of Beast Taming Sect with boundless prospects, but also the families that had received the news earlier had their strongest members come to express their gratitude.
However, their main goal was to meet with Qin Feng and become acquainted because those medium-sized families might never have the chance to build a relationship with Qin Feng in the future.
Even the three major families with Purple Mansion Cultivators sent Purple Mansion Cultivators bearing gifts to thank Qin Feng, who had first discovered the traces of the Demon Cultivators.
As for the three Elders of Red Cloud Palace and the two Purple Mansion Elders of Beast Taming Sect, they were selectively ignored.
Of course, it wasn’t that they were truly overlooked; gratitude still had to be expressed, but there were no gifts offered to them.
To Beast Taming Sect and Red Cloud Palace, it was their duty to protect affiliated forces. Besides, ordinary magical treasures and resources couldn’t catch the eye of someone at the Purple Mansion Cultivator’s realm. Those families wouldn’t be willing to give what could impress them, so they had to express their gratitude in words.
As for Qin Feng, his status and potential were evident. Moreover, by sending treasures now to form bonds, there was no harm in it. Should Qin Feng become a Great Cultivator, or even achieve Immortality and become a Supreme Elder in the future, they would have no chance of befriending him.
Although by that time there would be little interaction between them and Qin Feng, even boasting about such a connection would be a conversation starter.
Qin Feng was fully aware of these people’s intentions, and since he did owe these families a favor, he didn’t refuse their kindness and accepted the carefully selected gifts they offered.
Among them were indeed many fine items, especially the treasures sent by the three Purple Mansion families: a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ganoderma, a piece of Outer Heaven Mysterious Gold suitable for refining Spiritual Treasures, and a Defensive Magic Robe; each had its uses, whether for Alchemy or Artifact Refining.
However, Qin Feng had no interest in Artifact Refining, so he fed the piece of Outer Heaven Mysterious Gold directly to the Ruyi Golden Snake.
With the Ruyi Golden Snake’s power surging, all it needed was to fully digest the bloodline inheritance and Divine Skills of the Golden Jiao it had previously consumed. Then Qin Feng could use it to comprehend the Gold Element Principle, gaining another Power of Laws, which would not only speed up the refinement of the Demon Refining Pot but also strengthen his own war power.
Indeed, had Qin Feng not intended to let the Ruyi Golden Snake build upon its foundation before comprehending the Gold Element Principle, it could have achieved the Purple Mansion Realm before him.
If he had done so, with the Lifebound Spiritual Beast’s nourishment from reaching the Purple Mansion Realm, Qin Feng’s Cultivation would have improved by another thirty percent.
This rate of progression might seem unbelievable to others, but for the top talents in the Cultivation World, advancing through Cultivation stages was indeed that simple.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many peerless geniuses in the Cultivation World who, within mere decades, could prove their Immortal Dao according to the rumors.
In the Cultivation World, whether true geniuses or those with great Qi Fortune, their progression speed indeed couldn’t be compared to those Cultivators who relied on time-consuming and hard work.
