Chapter 229 - Encounter with Gong Jiu
Chapter 229 Encounter with Gong Jiu
Zhou Feng noticed a detail that he had never noticed before.
‘Eh? This is…’
After killing Tigri, he felt that the Human Emperor Ring on his hand actually absorbed a trace of aura.
Moreover, he sensed that the strange phenomenon that was being nurtured was becoming much stronger.
‘What was going on? This…’ Zhou Feng was a little surprised by this change. Could it be because the race was different?
He did not expect that killing Tigri would have such an advantage.
He could feel traces of aura beginning to accumulate, and the newly condensed Human Emperor Blood in his body also became excited.
That drop of golden Human Emperor Blood became abnormally active.
It constantly coursed throughout Zhou Feng’s body.
His body was slightly warm, which was similar to using the Malevolent Earth Qi Core.
‘Killing enemies can also improve my cultivation?’
Zhou Feng had a hunch that this change had occurred because he had killed a non-human opponent.
He had lost count of how many humans he had killed, but none of them had caused a change in the Human Emperor Blood in his body.
“This Human Emperor Scripture!’
Zhou Feng believed this had something to do with the Human Emperor Scripture.
If he remembered correctly, there were a myriad of races back in the first Human Emperor’s era. The races had been powerful, occupying most of the living area.
Those who had managed to become the Human Emperors of their eras had basically massacred countless races, solidifying their dignified status.
Only by snatching a large number of living areas was one worthy of receiving the title ‘Human Emperor’.
As the number of races in the world dwindled, the Human Emperor title gradually disappeared.
It had been a long time since someone inherited the Human Emperor title.
‘Killing the other races’ experts can also increase my cultivation? If that’s the case…’
The more Zhou Feng thought about it, the more he felt that the Human Emperor Scripture was tailor-made for him.
He considered himself to be an ordinary person with mediocre aptitude and comprehension abilities.
It was naturally challenging for him to rely on himself to cultivate.
However, Zhou Feng believed that he had a sufficiently strong dao heart. Coupled with the thousands of passive skills that awaited him and the Human Emperor Scripture, the Divine Ability realm would only be a mere stop on his path of cultivation!
‘All the humans here have died. It’s not a big deal to start a massacre here.’
Anyway, Zhou Feng already planned to hide in this area. He would not return to Heavenly Star City in the short term.
He could take advantage of this short period to train hard and improve his body.
Zhou Feng had a bit of humanity in his heart, perhaps because of the influence of his previous life. He was kind of angry that these beings had slaughtered the humans in this area.
“Big Yellow, can you locate a similar smell?” asked Zhou Feng
Once Big Yellow locked on another scent, Zhou Feng would put in motion his hunting plan.
Apart from stimulating the Human Emperor Blood in his body, this hunting plan also involved improving his passive skills, such as Soul Harvesting. Killing the other races’ experts could also trigger this passive skill. Zhou Feng had been worried that he would kill innocent mortals at will if he trod on the path of wanton slaughter to enhance this passive skill.
However, the psychological burden now lessened since he had to deal with the other races’ experts.
It was best if he could have more passive skills like Soul Harvesting. This way, the benefits of his hunting plan would be even greater.
“Woof!”
Big Yellow nodded. The deeper they went, the stronger the smell became.
“Very good!”
Zhou Feng had no intention of leaving this area at all. Instead, he continued to explore.
Just as Zhou Feng had expected, this area was a desolate land as the cultivators of Heavenly Star City had labeled it. However, in reality, it was more appropriate to describe it as the Demon territory.
This area was where the Demons and monsters lived.
No one knew how many Demons and monsters were hiding in this area. The humans here were only equivalent to the crops of these Demons and monsters.
They would harvest them once every few decades, and it so happened it was the time to do so.
In any case, humans were the most ‘nutritious’ food. As long as they were given some time, it wouldn’t take more than a few decades to fill the mountains with Demons.
Zhou Feng had never seen a Demon before because most of them had been in a slumber for centuries.
The cycle of the new generation of humans succeeding the last had been repeated several times already, and many events of the past had been forgotten.
Most people were still working hard to survive in this harsh environment.
Of course, it was not pragmatic of the Demons to rely on demonic beasts to harvest so many people one by one. Hence, there were sects like the Tri-Gu Sect.
In other words, all the sects in this area were the Demons’ minions. This could explain why the Tri-Gu Sect did not treat people as human beings. Their contempt for life was incited to the extreme.
In any case, any sustainable development was a fart to these Demons and sects.
What did the life and death of the human race have to do with them?
Moreover, even the mighty cultivators of the human race couldn’t interfere in this area because this was the agreement they had reached a long time ago.
Of course, this was a guarded secret, and only Elders and above were privy to this knowledge.
The disciples under these sects fantasized about cultivating hard and striving to climb up, but all of this was in vain.
Everyone was living in a lie!
Of course, there would always be people from these sects who were unwilling to become the claws and teeth of the Demons and wanted to resist.
In the end, they would all be annihilated by another sect, just like how the Voodoo Cult had invaded the Tri-Gu Sect. The Tri-Gu Sect Leader had harbored thoughts he shouldn’t
have.
In the end, he had been heavily injured, and the Tri-Gu Sect was invaded. Otherwise, who else in this area would be able to heavily injure the Tri-Gu Sect Leader.
Regarding these secrets, Zhou Feng naturally didn’t know much about them.
At present, he only knew that by killing the other races’ experts, he could raise his cultivation that had stagnated.
In any case, they weren’t humans, so killing them wouldn’t affect him much.
“Woof!”
Big Yellow suddenly stopped and barked. “Oh! Is it right in front?”
Zhou Feng stayed vigilant and slowly walked forward.
How long had he been walking for? He actually encountered another enemy.
Next, he saw an extremely spectacular scene.
Countless people, regardless of gender, were walking forward with their huge bellies.
And one person was standing at the back, like a shepherd herding the herd.
This person was much more powerful than Tigri.
‘Wait! It’s him!?’
Zhou Feng narrowed his eyes. He felt that the person at the back looked a little familiar.
‘Gong Jiu!? It’s him!’
Zhou Feng was instantly shocked awake.
Gong Jiu was a former genius of the Tri-Gu Sect and a strong contender for the Sect Leader position.
Gong Jiu had been an elegant and noble young master back then.
But now, he was shirtless, and the fat on his body trembled with every step he took. If it weren’t for his face, Zhou Feng wouldn’t have recognized him.
“Eh? Do I smell blood?”
The smell of blood entered the nostrils of Gong Jiu, who was originally in a trance. He then looked toward Zhou Feng’s location.
Zhou Feng didn’t deliberately hide, so Gong Jiu saw him immediately.
Zhou Feng’s spirit, appearance, and temperament had changed dramatically compared to the past.
If Zhou Feng was an authentic bumpkin before, he now was a prince. Even if he didn’t speak, he looked mighty.
