Chapter 857: Chapter 851: Missed Opportunity – Void Jellyfish
The journey was long, but Qin Feng was in no hurry, taking one step at a ti across this vast abandoned land.
Ever since he ca to understand the situation here, he had given up the idea of leaving soon.
Because that was impossible!
Even if it was possible in the future, it was sothing to consider only after he reached the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm. With his current capabilities, it wasn’t sothing he needed to think about yet.
Otherwise, even if he knew the thod to leave, he wouldn’t have the strength to escape the abandoned land.
And cultivating in the abandoned land, the speed of cultivation itself couldn’t compare at all to the outside world, not to ntion matching the progress he made in Biluo.
Although Qin Feng could solve the problem of Spiritual Energy, it was just the basic requirent for cultivation.
At his current Realm, as long as Spiritual Energy sufficed, the real effort and focus needed to be on comprehending the Laws.
Though he had nine main Spiritual Beasts under his command to draw insights from their understanding and Laws, these nine Spiritual Beasts were not as strong as a world’s Heavenly Dao, and even compared to his Cultivation Realm, they were far behind.
Even though he had accumulated a lot over the years and broke through naturally, advancing to the Profound Immortal Realm, and his Cultivation surged for a period, it then returned to normal. With such a progress speed, reaching the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm would take a considerable amount of ti.
Even if not as slow as the progress of ordinary Profound Immortals that spans tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, Qin Feng still felt like his current cultivation speed was at a snail’s pace.
In truth, he was mainly used to his previous cultivation speed; otherwise, a normal Profound Immortal with his current pace would already make others envious. It’s just that he wasn’t used to it yet, which led to so dissatisfaction!
However, Qin Feng had eventually reached the Profound Immortal Realm. Though he lacked the long years of experience other elder Profound Immortals had, making his disposition not yet fully steady, he had gone through quite a lot and could quickly adjust himself, avoiding agitation.
Like now, as he walked step by step on the earth, treading over endless bones, this was also a form of training, a cleansing of the spirit!
Few Cultivators have ever witnessed such a death-filled land. Walking for years in a place devoid of Spiritual Energy and full of bones is surely a tornt, and the tempering of the heart far exceeds imagination.
At the very least, Qin Feng now felt that his resilience to difficulties, his indifference to life and death, had far surpassed the past.
Of course, this was toward foreign lives!
If it involved his sect mbers, elders, family, and kin, that would be another matter entirely!
Ultimately, these were closely related to what each person pursued in their cultivation.
Perhaps this monotonous way of walking felt dull, or maybe the fact that besides bones there was nothing else to see made him a bit bored, so Qin Feng thought for a mont and summoned the Ti Wand, along with the Spring and Autumn Cicada that perched on it, absorbing the Origin Energy within.
Compared to Qin Feng’s restricted cultivation speed, his Spiritual Beasts fared much better. Since they originally cultivated in the Demon Refining Pot, their thod hadn’t been affected even here in the abandoned land!
Take the Spring and Autumn Cicada as an example; besides absorbing Spiritual Energy to refine Immortal Power daily, it spent most of its ti perched on the Ti Wand, absorbing its energy, not rely maintaining its pace but actually improving as it absorbed more energy.
The other main Spiritual Beasts were similar, with the only difference being that each layer had added so monsters and Demon Gods with similar abilities.
However, these monsters and Demon Gods dared not defy Qin Feng’s will after entering the Demon Refining Pot, obediently following the orders of the main Spiritual Beasts in each layer.
Furthermore, thanks to Qin Feng’s prior order to restore their original strength without recklessly absorbing Spiritual Energy, the main Spiritual Beasts weren’t negatively impacted; instead, through interaction, they learned about the cultivation thods of those monster Demon Gods and witnessed many different Talent Skills.
Seeing the Spring and Autumn Cicada fluttering its wings to fly, Qin Feng sent a thought, informing it that it wasn’t a battle, and to stay quietly on the Ti Wand to cultivate.
He now beca sowhat reserved and silent, not speaking aloud, but conveying his ideas through his mind.
Humans are ultimately social creatures. Even if Qin Feng had achieved the Immortal Dao, he couldn’t live alone for a long ti.
Even beings powerful enough to have reached the Great Power Realm require support and companionship, discussion and exchange, especially since he is still so young.
Cultivators habitually enter deep mountains to establish Cave Mansions to avoid worldly distractions and for the Spiritual Vein Resources, not to live in isolation!
Although Qin Feng’s Realm advancent was joyful, the long periods of solitude over the years in the abandoned land without communication led to unexpected changes in his character.
If it weren’t for having spiritual beasts to converse with, especially the cunning and witty Divine Turtle who often joked around, his mindset might’ve beco problematic.
Even so, his personality was not as cheerful as before, partly due to being away from people, and partly because all he saw every day was bones.
Anyone living in such a place every day is blessed with strong ntal resilience if they haven’t collapsed yet.
This was also why he wanted to go to the gathering place.
Even if the gathering place was filled with various creatures from all ten thousand worlds, even if humans were scarce among them, seeing other creatures more frequently would still be better than being alone, even if it ant plotting and scheming amongst the strong at the gathering place.
He didn’t want to get too accustod to the lonely and desolate life too soon, so upon realizing his state was not right, he promptly adjusted his forthcoming plans.
With the Ti Wand in hand, using this mighty Half-Step Immortal Witch Artifact as a cane, he walked forward step by step.
During this period, he often rotated through summoning several of his spiritual beasts for company, especially favoring those like the Swallowing Sky Toad and Spring and Autumn Cicada, which could beco very small and unobtrusive.
Because when they erged, they were unremarkable, unlike the mountain-sized Divine Turtle, nor as ferocious as the Hellhound.
Being inconspicuous, they wouldn’t attract other monsters’ attention, so when other monsters noticed Qin Feng, they wouldn’t have too many objections, easily mistaking him for a lone wanderer, leading to various sieges, sneak attacks, and deceptions. This was also why he had the chance to subdue eight hundred Demon Gods over the years.
Qin Feng, after communicating with the Spring and Autumn Cicada about the application of the Ti Law and evaluating its growth during this period, sotis manipulated the Ti Law to perform a few spells to verify certain insights he had.
It’s safe to say few in the abandoned land practiced so luxuriously, and among the powerful wanderers in the wild, his situation was unique!
Others in the abandoned land couldn’t preserve their energy enough, where else would they dare to waste it carelessly?
It’s a pity there were no other strong individuals around to witness this; otherwise, they might feel envious!
As Qin Feng walked, casting spells to verify his insights, he suddenly had a whim and applied the Ti Law to the Ti Wand, activating so of its functions.
The Ti Wand began to glow faintly, emitting a subtle light, as an obscure power ripple propagated outward.
Qin Feng felt it silently, suddenly freezing in his steps.
Unsure if it was a delusion, when he activated the Ti Wand just now, he felt that its activation had subtly interfered with the all-encompassing Ti Principle of the abandoned land, slightly reducing the influence of the abandoned land’s ti flow rate.
Though it was a very slight change, Qin Feng, eager as he was, imdiately noticed the difference due to his keen Profound Immortal senses.
To confirm his perception, Qin Feng hastily continued to stimulate the Ti Wand as he did just now, gradually increasing the intensity. As a result, he verified that his previous feeling was indeed correct.
This filled him with excitent.
If he could keep the Ti Wand in this continuous state of maintaining such intensity, it could significantly alleviate the all-consuming effect of ti in the abandoned land, hence reducing the depletion of his lifespan.
Although it may not synchronize with the external world, it would still be a vast improvent compared to being in the abandoned land.
This realization thrilled him.
After pondering for a mont, Qin Feng couldn’t help but shake his head, abandoning the idea.
The thod wasn’t unfeasible, but with his strength, he couldn’t maintain the operation of the Ti Wand indefinitely.
If he really intended to counteract the passage of Ti Principle around him by continuously consuming his power and the Power of Laws, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
Of course, the reason also included the insufficient level of the Ti Wand.
If the level of this Witch Artifact could advance further, reaching the treasure level of the Immortal Realm, it could protect him automatically, and the power it emitted alone would be enough to largely offset the influence of the surrounding laws on him.
It could even be possible to cross the Ti River with the help of this treasure and escape the Abandoned Land!
Thinking of this, Qin Feng suddenly felt a bit of regret!
He regretted not thinking of grabbing so treasures when he was by the Ti River!
Even though the Ti River was too turbulent and he never truly entered the riverbed, later on, when he entered the tributary, especially when he was about to leave the Ti River, the water there was not only in the shallow area but also extrely low in danger.
He distinctly rembers seeing so unusual items, and although he didn’t know what treasures they were, anything that could remain in the Ti River Water until now must undoubtedly be rare treasures.
From what he read in the Wizard Notes, the reason this Ti Wand failed to be refined into an Immortal Realm Witch Artifact was due to a lack of ti-type treasures and insufficient Power of Ti, thus stopping at Half-Step Immortal.
If he hadn’t rushed to leave and had retrieved a few treasures from the Ti River’s tributaries, he might have been able to slowly refine it into a true Immortal Treasure over ti!
Even if he didn’t retrieve those unusual treasures, even getting so sand from the Ti Riverbed would have been good!
The sand capable of carrying the Ti River, enduring the ravage of ti over the years, had long beco a treasure imbued with ti.
Back then, Lin Jingxin exchanged a piece of the World Tree’s root with him using a Ti Hourglass, the main material of which was a small handful of Ti Sand.
It was by devouring and refining that Ti Sand that the Spring and Autumn Cicada rapidly cultivated to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Qin Feng carefully recalled the scene when he left the Ti River and found that the sand under the river water there was very similar to the Ti Sand from back then.
This made him deeply regretful.
Clearly in a place full of treasures, yet he ended up leaving in a hurry without grabbing anything!
“Alas…”
Qin Feng sighed!
At the sa ti, he was heartbroken; had he been more composed and brought out so treasures from the Ti River, he might have succeeded in refining the Ti Wand, instead of placing his faint hope of leaving the Abandoned Land on those gathering places!
Even if he couldn’t succeed in refining the Ti Wand, refining those Ti Sands together with the Spring and Autumn Cicada would still afford them boundless benefits, greatly advancing their Dao Cultivation in the path of ti!
Once his comprehension of the Ti Law reached a certain level, he would naturally offset so of the Ti Law’s influence in the Abandoned Land.
Unfortunately, due to inexperience at first, he missed such a good opportunity.
If he had another chance, he certainly wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to acquire treasures.
Indeed, disaster and fortune are closely linked, as the ancients said, they never deceived !
Even the treacherous Ti River had endless benefits to offer!
Whether one could reap these benefits and acquire fortune from the perilous place, depended on individual skills and fortune!
Evidently, his fortune was lacking a bit; earlier, he was too focused on escaping to notice these things.
This also showcased the Ti River’s might, truly unaffected by any realm interference.
Even though Biluo is one of the three thousand Great Worlds of the universe, it could not influence the Ti River at all, and instead, it was subject to the Ti River’s influence!
If there was any slight effect in reverse, Qin Feng could leverage Biluo’s Qi Fortune to gain so advantage, and how could he have left empty-handed?
Qin Feng lanted for quite a while before finally pulling himself together under the curious gaze of the Spring and Autumn Cicada and moving forward again.
Now, regretting is useless, as the Immortal Energy in the Shariputra is exhausted, and the remaining bit is insignificant for further venture into the Ti Mist to seek treasures in the Ti River.
Besides, the tranquility of the Ti River back then was likely because the Ti River was at a low tide period, and now with no sufficient Immortal Energy left, even if he had enough, he wouldn’t dare to go.
Otherwise, if he encountered a sudden tide change in the Ti River, being swept by the endless Ti Water might drag him into the river once more, and he might not have a chance to escape then.
Even though he forced himself to stay focused along the way, the previous disappointnt shadowed his mood sowhat.
It wasn’t until he encountered formidable adversaries blocking his path again that Qin Feng let go of his gains and losses, looking at the strong opponent ahead.
They were a peculiar lineup.
Leading them was a monster with an elephant head and human body, towering a hundred feet tall, broad shoulders, carrying a copper hamr bigger than a house in its hands, exuding infinite strength and layers of killing intent!
However, seated on the shoulder of this seemingly fierce elephant-headed monster, was a petite, frail-looking little girl, barely four feet tall.
The little girl exhibited an innocent look, barefoot, her little legs swinging back and forth, as if in a good mood.
Yet, her eyes glead with a green light, and a seven-colored small flower was tucked into her hair, emitting a faint peculiar power.
Qin Feng glanced around and saw a lizard monster with a lean form and covered in scale armor stepping out from each side, their claws sharp and seemingly not easy to deal with.
While in the sky behind him, a transparent jellyfish drifted, its countless fine tentacles extended hundreds of feet, almost shading half of the sky, hauntingly silent like a ghost.
Unknowingly, he had been surrounded by this vagabond group in the wild land.
Moreover, not only was this group powerful, but it also faintly made Qin Feng feel a sense of inexplicable significance.
He knew that this group’s strength was extraordinary, potentially threatening him!
But, so what?
He was never alone; could they be stronger than his massive Spiritual Beast Army?
Humph!
Let them be unlucky then, if they choose to stand in his way when he’s in a bad mood, he’ll just take out his anger on them!
