Chapter 353: Chapter 350: Why So Arrogant Today
Qin Feng had just opened his eyes when he saw Elder Kongkong standing outside the Guiding Array with his hands clasped behind his back, his slightly rounded belly protruding as he smiled at him.
“Ahem…”
Qin Feng cleared his throat lightly, signaling to Elder Kongkong the trace of blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth. Then, he imdiately bowed, “Disciple pays respects to Ancestor Martial Uncle!”
“Hmm, good, it’s nice that you’ve returned.”
Elder Kongkong nodded with a smile, appraising him a few tis contentedly, “You’ve already advanced to the Golden Core realm? Your cultivation speed isn’t slow. Hmm, but why does the aura on your body seem sowhat strange?
Furthermore, with the strength of your physique now, why would such a minor injury cause you to cough?”
Seeing that his pretense of being injured had been exposed by Elder Kongkong, Qin Feng wasn’t embarrassed. Instead, he thickened his face and chuckled ingratiatingly, “I encountered a formidable enemy on my way back. It was fortunate that Ancestor Martial Uncle transmitted back in ti, otherwise, I would have been in danger.”
While speaking, he stepped out of the Teleportation Array and ca outside the Array Platform, boasting as if to claim credit, “Ancestor Martial Uncle, I’ve already set up all the Positioning Array Plates.”
“I’ve already sensed it.”
Elder Kongkong nodded, adding, “I noticed it from the mont you set up the first Positioning Array. The reason why I didn’t teleport anyone over was simply to wait for your return and hear about the news you gathered, so as to avoid any rash actions causing trouble.”
During the conversation, his brow slightly raised as he looked at the folded fan in Qin Feng’s hand.
Being a top-level Profound Immortal who had achieved Dao in space, his insight was sharp. He imdiately saw through the space within the folded fan and also noticed Xiu Xin inside, pacifying the Ghost Bride, which caught him by surprise, “What’s this? How did a junior from the Ghost Controlling Sect suddenly appear?”
Inside the house in the folded fan, the mont they were seen by Elder Kongkong, both Xiu Xin and the Ghost Bride stiffened.
Especially the Ghost Bride, who had been showing a bit of her temper, imdiately quieted down, daring not to make any movent.
Xiu Xin quickly seized the opportunity to escape from it, bowing deeply to Elder Kongkong, “The junior, Xiu Xin, pays respects to the elder Kongkong.”
“No need for such formality.”
Elder Kongkong waved his hand gently and then asked curiously, “You seem to be a True Disciple of the Ghost Controlling Sect, right? How co you returned with little kid Qin from another world?”
“The elder might not know, but as a junior, I had inadvertently exposed myself in the Demon Clan City and was being pursued by demons. Just when soone from another world was summoning a demon beast, it so happened that the Silver-Armored Corpse I had refined killed the summoner, and the summoning contract ended up inside the corporeal body. To hide from the pursuit, I had no choice but to attach myself to the Silver-Armored Corpse and was thus summoned to another world with it.”
Xiu Xin sighed, “Luckily, I t Daoist Fellow Qin, otherwise, not to ntion returning, I probably would have been burned as a heretic by the church of that world!”
“I see.”
Elder Kongkong nodded, “Well, it’s good that you’re back, co with .”
Saying this, with a sweep of his sleeve, a gentle wave enveloped the two of them. Soon, they felt a spatial transformation, and by the ti they had regained their composure, they found themselves back inside the Space Fortress, in front of the grand hall on the summit of Moyun Ridge.
“You should head back to the Ghost Controlling Sect first.”
Elder Kongkong said to Xiu Xin, “So elders from your sect were looking for you a few days ago. They must be worried about your safety; hurry back and report that you are safe.”
“Yes.”
Knowing that Elder Kongkong would definitely inquire Qin Feng about matters of the other world, and also wanting to report back to his sect about the events in the other world, he respectfully made a bow, “Then the junior will take his leave first.”
“Go on, go on.”
Elder Kongkong dismissed him casually, then turned and walked towards the grand hall.
“Daoist Fellow Qin, I shall take my leave, we’ll et again soday.”
Xiu Xin bowed to Qin Feng.
“Sure.”
Qin Feng smiled back, watching Xiu Xin ride the Light Escape far away. He didn’t linger outside either and directly followed Elder Kongkong’s steps into the grand hall.
Inside the hall, Gui Ling Ancestor was sitting cross-legged above.
“Disciple pays respects to the Ancestor.”
Qin Feng didn’t dare to slack off and hurriedly bowed.
“Hmm.”
Gui Ling Ancestor slowly nodded, then smiled and pointed to the cushion in front of him, “Sit.”
“Yes, thank you, Ancestor Martial Uncle, for the seat.”
Qin Feng respectfully sat down on the cushion.
“How was it, was your trip to the other world smooth? I see your cultivation has progressed well, your True Yuan is refined, and your Divine Skills have been achieved. Among the various sects’ True Disciples, you are amongst the top ranks now. It seems you’ve gained quite a lot from the other world!”
Gui Ling Ancestor looked over him with a chuckle, then suddenly stared intently at his forehead for a mont, surprised, “Why is there an extra coordinate inside you? This thod seems quite marvelous. Who did it?”
“Reporting to Grandmaster, this is what happened…”
Qin Feng proceeded to recount all that had happened from the mont he entered the other world, detailing the relationships between the various divine churches and his sches involving the Beastman Kingdom.
Both Elder Kongkong and Gui Ling Ancestor seed quite surprised, not expecting that a re dium World would be occupied by so many Divine Systems; this indeed baffled them.
Gui Ling Ancestor barely managed a smile, “I didn’t expect that world was already occupied by various divine forces. Luckily, we didn’t directly attack that world but chose to scout first.
Otherwise, we might have been attacked by several divine systems, sothing our sect definitely could not withstand, and the losses would have been severe.”
Elder Kongkong nodded, “That’s indeed true. Based on the information brought back by Martial Uncle Jue Tian after the Five Domains Alliance, those divine systems are all imnsely powerful forces, not sothing we can handle alone.
However, it would be a pity to give up just like that. I think Qin kid’s plan to use the Beastman Kingdom is quite good. We can secretly send people to take over the power of the various beastman tribes by puppeting the Beastman Kingdom, and then use the kingdom to wage war.
As per the history of that world, there have been constant wars among the races, and no race has ever been able to dominate the continent for long. As for the Humans now being able to dominate, it’s rely because they have divine support in the background.”
“They had already set the rule that believers from the Lower Realm must compete against each other without open assistance, so if we don’t bla this on the Beast God, we’d be dishonoring all the effort we’ve wasted,” said Qin Feng.
“A single Beast God isn’t sothing we take too seriously. Although we can’t determine his current strength, he surely can’t be stronger than Martial Uncle Jue Tian. As long as we act covertly and don’t switch the Beastman’s faith just yet, he might not even notice our moves.
“I’ll select a group from the Sect later to establish our influence in the Otherworld. If successful, excellent, but even if we can’t take over that world, under our manipulation, we can still secure a foothold there and use the Beastman to gather various resources and benefits for us.”
Gui Ling Ancestor directly set the tone for this discussion, smiling and saying, “From what we’ve seen, the resources in that world are actually quite good, and the divisions between different systems are clear, unlike in the Red Fla Demon Realm, which mainly comprises Fire Elent resources tinged with Demonic Qi, which we’d need to refine to use.
“Moreover, the beings in that world hardly harness their resources well, and even if we only occupy the Beastman Wilderness and the vast snow fields even further north, it would be tantamount to controlling about twenty to thirty percent of the territory on that continent.
“And there’s Algu Mountain, spanning nearly a hundred thousand miles. Since so many Demon Beasts can be nurtured there, the resources must be plentiful. Such a treasure land is sothing our Beast Taming Sect cannot let slip by – the resources from this mountain alone could train countless outstanding disciples.”
“Not only the Beastman territory but also those Elental Elves.”
Elder Kongkong, with a slight curl of his small mustache and squinting eyes, comnted, “It is quite fascinating that Elental Elves are born from the Elental Well, a special life form. Liuling might be very interested in Elental Elves.
“If we could relocate both Elental Elves and the Elental Well to Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven, the constraints on the Elental lineage would be greatly reduced. Though we might not reach the population of disciples from other lineages, the number of Elental lineage disciples could increase by more than a hundredfold.”
Once they confird their plans, Elder Kongkong looked at Qin Feng and smiled, “Hurry and explain the Druid Transformation Technique; resources are important to the Sect, but for Elders of our Realm, they’re of little use. Relatively, I am more interested in the Druid’s thod for transforming into a Demon Beast.”
“Disciple complies.”
Qin Feng brought out a scroll of Beast Skin, presented it with both hands saying, “This is the disciple’s record and so insights on the Druid Transformation Technique, please review it, grandmasters.”
“Excellent, excellent. I knew this expedition wouldn’t co without useful opportunities for us; here they are, haha…”
During their conversation, Elder Kongkong reached out, and the Beast Skin scroll levitated in front of him for him and Gui Ling Ancestor to examine together.
Upon inspecting it for a while, both Peak Profound Immortals furrowed their brows slightly.
Then, Gui Ling Ancestor calculated ticulously and after a long while, finally exhaled deeply, “This Transformation Technique can only be considered an unconventional thod – while it can enhance War Power, it is useless for Longevity. Moreover, if the physical body is slightly weaker, it might leave residual damage, posing a risk.
“However, it can serve as a last-resort strategy. If Sect disciples possess this Transformation Technique, when they have expended much of their True Yuan in battle, transforming could grant them considerable renewed strength, achieving surprising results and potentially even turning the tide in desperate situations.”
“Grandmaster.”
Qin Feng asked the question he was most concerned about, “Is it possible to fully integrate the Transformation Technique into our Beast Taming Sect’s inheritance, and completely harness the power from the Demon Core?
“When I was in the Underground World, the reason I targeted that Rock Giant was because I coveted its Gravity Technique. Compared to transforming, I’d rather integrate the Gravity Technique into my own being.”
“That’s not impossible,”
Gui Ling Ancestor pondered for a while and said, “I have two thods. First, you could use the Rock Giant’s Demon Core as a vessel to develop a second Primordial Spirit, which would naturally include the Rock Giant’s Spell under your command.
“Alternatively, once you can transform into a Rock Giant, you could gradually imprint the Rock Giant’s innate abilities onto your Golden Core. Over ti, this could develop into your own Innate Divine Ability.
“Even as you advance to the Purple Mansion and undergo Nascent Soul Formation, you could absorb and refine the energy within the Rock Giant’s Demon Core, solidifying a more profound Daoist Foundation.”
Through Gui Ling Ancestor’s explanation, Qin Feng finally understood how to acquire the Rock Giant’s Talent Skills. After Gui Ling Ancestor also taught him how to develop a second Primordial Spirit and several other Secret Techniques to help him refine the Rock Giant’s Talent Skills, Qin Feng was overjoyed.
“Thank you for the guidance, Ancestor Martial Uncle.”
After bowing respectfully, Qin Feng added, “Ancestor Martial Uncles, how should I deal with the Light Mark on my forehead?
Should I refine and disperse it, or should I keep it?
I always feel a bit uncomfortable keeping such a thing. If the Church Court contacts the angels from the Light God Realm, they will surely notice sothing is wrong with . If they use the Light Mark to target , my life might be at risk!”
“Indeed, that mark cannot be kept.”
Elder Kongkong’s face showed a quite interested expression, “I have never encountered an angel before. Little Qid Qin, quickly summon that so-called Four-Winged Angel for to see.
Oh, wait a mont, let’s go outside the Cave Heaven World. Otherwise, this place is essentially a world within a world. If that angel finds sothing amiss when you summon him and escapes back by severing the summoning channel, wouldn’t that be a pity!”
As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and instantly perford Void Shifting, and the three of them appeared on a cliff outside the Cave Heaven Fortress.
“Alright, summon the angel now.”
“Yes.”
Responding imdiately, Qin Feng began to summon the Guardian Angel through the Light Mark on his forehead.
After a few breaths, the space began to fluctuate, and the Four-Winged Angel erged from the depths of the space.
At this mont, the Four-Winged Angel was sowhat baffled.
Because there used to be a Space Gate in the otherworld, Qin Feng could summon him very quickly. This ti, though Qin Feng was back in the Red Fla Demon Realm, he still managed to summon him, but the distance through the void that needed to be crossed was much greater.
As he was summoned and sensed the chaotic Demonic Qi all around, and saw the unique landscape of the Demon Realm in the distance, his expression grew increasingly ugly.
While he emitted the Light Essence within him to dispel the surrounding Demonic Qi, he frowned and asked, “Saint Heir, where is this place? You better not tell you’ve been chased into the Demon Realm again!”
Then, he looked at the two old n standing in front of Qin Feng and asked, “Are these the two old fellows you want to deal with this ti?”
The Four-Winged Angel might be strong, but his strength was only equivalent to the Purple Mansion Realm; he could not discern the Dao Cultivation Realm of Gui Ling Ancestor and Elder Kongkong.
Moreover, one of these old n was short and looked like a big rat, and although the other looked slightly better, his broad back and slender limbs made him resemble an old turtle; he instinctively looked down on them.
“How impudent!”
Qin Feng rebuked loudly, “Show respect to my Ancestor Martial Uncles!”
“Uh…”
Caught off guard by Qin Feng’s shout, the Four-Winged Angel was montarily stunned.
Previous Saint Heirs had always treated their Guardian Angels with great respect. Even though this Saint Heir he was guarding was sowhat unreliable, always summoning him to strange places to deal with powerful opponents, his attitude had always been very respectful. Why was he so arrogant today?
