Qin Feng rode the Light Escape at breakneck speeds, and in no time, he had flown out thousands of miles.
Beiming Immortal Mansion was a Cave Heaven World, cultivated by the great powers of the Kunpeng Clan. As a clan close in power only to the Void Giant Beasts among all the races in the Ten Thousand Worlds, the Kunpeng, due to their enormous size, naturally expanded the space of their cultivating paradise to an extreme extent.
Otherwise, if it were only the size of tens of thousands of miles, like ordinary Grotto Heavens, a mere few turns of its body could possibly reach the very ends of the Grotto Heaven, which for Kunpeng was quite too restrictive.
Therefore, this immortal mansion’s Cave Heaven World was extremely vast, and mostly consisted of sea areas. Qin Feng had been flying for so long that, aside from the initial island he saw, he hadn’t spotted any other land.
Just as he hesitated in his heart about whether to dive into the sea to investigate, his ears twitched, faintly catching some unusual sounds from a far distance.
Ever since his cultivation of the Azure Dragon Daoist Body reached a level that could contend with the Dharma Image Realm, not only had his physical body’s power greatly increased, but also his sensory perceptions were much sharper than normal people’s, almost reaching a level comparable to Divine Powers.
Especially his eyes, having cultivated the Yin Yang Ghost Eye Great Divine Power, had truly surpassed many races known for their Talent Spiritual Eye Divine Powers, and were extremely formidable.
Qin Feng tilted his head to listen for a moment before he swiftly turned and followed the direction of the sound.
“How dare you, Dragon Whale, try to seize the treasure I have my eyes on? Aren’t you afraid that one day I’ll call upon my fellow Sect members to storm up to your door and annihilate your race?”
An authoritative-looking old man, his eyes burning with anger, was furiously scolding a huge creature in the sea, which was about three hundred Zhang long.
It was a rare sea giant beast, the Dragon Whale, with a horn on its head and an enormous body, not only possessed immense strength but also had the innate Divine Power to manipulate water.
The Dragon Whale, an Exotic Species Spiritual Beast from ancient times, contained some True Dragon Bloodline in its body. However, what truly made people wary of them was the immense pressure from their gigantic bodies.
Due to their massive size, the power accumulated within the Dragon Whale was terrifyingly immense. Unless their weak point was found, even three or five Primordial Spirit Cultivators might not be able to kill a Dragon Whale of the same level, and the attempt could instead deplete their True Yuan and turn the tables on them.
Therefore, cultivators rarely bothered the Dragon Whale in the sea.
But the dignified-looking old man ahead was different; he held a high rank and did not care about the Dragon Whale’s strength, pressing his identity to force the beast to back down willingly to seize the opportunity.
The opportunity he coveted was an Immortal Herb growing in the crevice of underwater rocks.
Usually, this Immortal Herb might be submerged by the sea, but today, with no wind or waves and the tides receding, the rocks were exposed, and so was the Immortal Herb.
The old man had tracked the Spiritual Energy fluctuations to this spot and had just located it when he saw a Dragon Whale leaping from the water to devour the herb, which instantly ignited his fury and led to the confrontation.
“Humph!”
With a flicker of her form, the Dragon Whale transformed into a voluptuous woman wearing animal skins that barely covered her essentials. Her beautiful and enticing appearance and curvaceous figure sparked wild thoughts.
However, even more striking than her tempting figure was her unusual height.
She stood more than twice as tall as an ordinary person. The authoritative old man, who also stood about seven chi tall, still only reached up to the woman’s waist from a distance, making the confrontation look like that between an adult and a child.
Although the woman had a beautiful face, her eyes were fierce, and her expression was wild and aggressive as she glared at the old man, “Shen Ruoyu, you old fool, don’t think you can bully me just because of your Sect’s status.
If this were outside, I would let it slide, but here in Beiming Immortal Mansion, whether you can leave alive is questionable, yet you dare to challenge me? Believe it or not, I could smash you right now!”
“How dare a mere Demon Beast talk to me like this?”
Shen Ruoyu, accustomed to his authority within the Sect and unable to tolerate such indignity, stretched out his hand to form a spell and pointed, causing a Golden Hammer to fall from the sky and smash directly onto the head of the woman transformed from the Dragon Whale.
“Humph!”
The Dragon Whale revealed a disdainful sneer. Without using any Magical Treasure, she simply threw a punch.
With a thunderous boom, the Golden Hammer was sent flying, and the Dragon Whale’s figure merely shook slightly before stabilizing, her eyes disdainful, “If that’s all you’ve got, then the Immortal Herb is mine!”
“Dammit!”
The old man nearly exploded with rage. He oversaw punishment within the Sect and was respected for his authority, and had never been so belittled before.
Angered beyond reason, he stepped on the Big Dipper, moved through the void, his body radiating Infinite Divine Light, and condensed into a Heaven Measuring Ruler a hundred Zhang in size, smashing down toward the Dragon Whale.
This was his Lifebound Divine Power, a key technique related to his position in the Sect, able to suppress Blood Qi, damage the Dharma Body and intimidate the Spirit, damaging the Primordial Spirit. It was the strongest technique related to punishments from Divine Vulture Mountain’s Yuan Jue Cave where he resided.
“Heh!”
The Dragon Whale, recognizing that the old man had brought out his trump card, knew she couldn’t underestimate this attack. With a swift movement of her pale white, jade-like hand, she grabbed an odd Magical Treasure tethered to a chain from somewhere on her body and tossed it upwards, colliding with the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
The fierce clash between the human and the Demon Beast caused a great commotion, stirring up hundred-Zhang high waves in the surrounding sea.
However, while their battle was at its peak, the space below slightly distorted.
Then, the Immortal Herb simply vanished!
“Uh?”
“Who’s there?”
The two fiercely fighting beings abruptly stopped and turned their gaze toward the direction where the Immortal Herb had disappeared.
Shen Ruoyu’s eyes flickered with Spirit Light, and he quickly traced the spatial fluctuations to locate Qin Feng’s figure, “How dare you, young upstart, take advantage of our fight to steal what we vie for!”
His heart raged with fury. With his very thought, the Heaven Measuring Ruler moved and directly shattered the void, smashing down towards Qin Feng.
The woman who had transformed from the Dragon Whale also bellowed, “Return my Immortal Herbs!”
While speaking, she threw out the iron chains she held, and the strange Magical Treasure, like a ship’s anchor, followed the Heaven Measuring Ruler striking towards Qin Feng.
“Hehe, no need for farewells, my friends. Since the Immortal Herbs are already in my possession, this treasure is mine now.”
Qin Feng chuckled lightly, twisted his body, and employed the Space Shifting Technique to dodge the attacks.
Then, without waiting for them to pursue him, he stepped rapidly, traversing ten thousand zhang in a single step, shaking off the two in just a few strides and quickly escaping into the distance. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Reaching his current Cultivation Realm, he had brought the Thousand-Mile House Divine Power to Great Success, its power several times greater than before. A single step could cover dozens of miles. With his resources, he didn’t really mind the consumption, which enabled him to flee before Shen Ruoyu and the powerful Dragon Whale could react.
The two behind him had thought of pursuing, but since they hadn’t locked onto Qin Feng’s form at the get-go, by the time Qin Feng had vanished from their sight, it was already too late to chase him.
The Immortal Herbs were already stolen. Shen Ruoyu and the Dragon Whale exchanged a glance, showing mutual disdain but chose not to continue fighting. With a cold snort, they both stowed their treasures and turned to leave.
Shen Ruoyu fled into the void. The Dragon Whale, narrowing its eyes and watching the direction Shen Ruoyu left, pondered for a moment before leaping back into its original form and plunging into the water with a splash, its mighty tail gently flicking as it dove deep, disappearing from sight.
Qin Feng, having snatched an Immortal Herb, felt rather pleased.
Although a single Immortal Herb wouldn’t aid him in achieving Immortal Dao, such herbs, having grown for tens of thousands of years, possessed astonishing medicinal properties and were key ingredients in refining Immortal Pills. Whether he chose to have someone refine pills for him later, trade them, or directly consume and refine them himself, they all held significant benefits.
However, as rare as this Immortal Herb was, it was only so relative to his current Cultivation Realm.
In the grand scheme of the vast Beiming Immortal Mansion, a mere Immortal Herb hardly counted for much. It was possible that in the Spiritual Medicine Garden of the Kunpeng Clan’s Great Power, there were countless similar herbs.
Thus, Qin Feng didn’t place too much importance on this Immortal Herb and stored it in a jade box before flying towards the distance.
The scope of this Cave Heaven World was unknown. Flying for millions of li, Qin Feng encountered several islands along the way, some yielding a few exotic flowers and fruits, others completely barren, having been stripped clean long ago, not a single aged herb left.
It was only upon reaching the heart of this Cave Heaven World, a massive island, that he landed with endless curiosity.
The reason he had found this island amidst the vast ocean was not due to his exceptional fortune but the guidance of the token in his possession.
Only upon landing on the island did the Spirit Light from the token completely recede.
Qin Feng knew that since he had arrived here due to the token’s Spirit Light, other cultivators would inevitably come here too.
In fact, there were likely others who had arrived before him and begun exploring the island.
The vast territory of the island was beautiful, with mountains and forests full of exotic flowers and peculiar fruits. However, strangely, despite the dense Spiritual Energy, no other life forms were seen.
In this vast Cave Heaven, there seemed to be few living beings; the island lacked exotic birds and beasts, but aquatic life had been spotted in the sea.
Qin Feng didn’t pay much attention to these, considering the calamities of the ancient era that not only claimed countless powerful beings but also brought many bizarre occurrences. Who knew if this Cave Heaven World had faced some strange Law attacks in the ancient times.
Of course, it was also possible that the Kunpeng Clan’s Great Power did not favor other beings inhabiting his place of quiet cultivation, hence there were no nurtured Spiritual Birds nor Beasts.
Raising his head, he surveyed the surroundings.
In the distance, an imposing palace sat atop the central mountains of the island.
The palace was grand and majestic, extraordinary in its aura, resembling a Divine Palace situated between heaven and earth, looking down upon the world from its lofty position.
Qin Feng walked towards the direction of the palace.
It wasn’t that he was unwilling to fly over, but the airspace over the island was under strong Prohibitions, making flight impossible.
After all, this was the cultivation site of an Ancient Great Power; he decided to act according to the rules left behind, lest recklessness leads to a cataclysm.
For instance, a member of the Demon Clan, perhaps out of curiosity, had not dared to fly directly but had sent a Magical Treasure soaring into the sky to test the power of the prohibition.
The Magical Treasure had barely ascended a hundred zhang when a powerful bolt of lightning struck from above. Not only did it obliterate the Magical Treasure, but the ensuing shock also followed the connection of qi between the Magical Treasure and the Demon, striking the Great Demon so fiercely that its flesh emitted an enticing aroma.
Had the Magical Treasure not absorbed much of the impact, the Demon would have been utterly obliterated!
Having witnessed the power of the prohibition, Qin Feng dared not offend, and cautiously chose to walk instead.
Besides, he possessed the Shrinking Ground to Inch and could deploy the Thousand-Mile House technique, his speed hardly slower than flying.
It was undeniable that the island held many rare treasures; each plant capable of refining Immortal Pills, and even several Spiritual Medicines were tremendously infused with Dao Rhythm, clearly divine herbs rarely seen in the world.
Regrettably, these Immortal Herbs and Divine Medicines were also surrounded by Prohibitions. Although these were not as formidable as the Prohibitions in the skies, breaking through to claim the treasures would still require considerable effort on his part.
Considering how many precious items were available even on the periphery, one could only imagine how many treasures the Great Power of the ancient times could have within that secluded palace!
With a nimble mind and already in possession of various treasures, although not as many at the level of those divine medicines, Qin Feng was not too greedy. He quickly settled his mind and proceeded towards the distant palace.
He wished to enter the palace to see what opportunities it held!
