Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 174: Chapter 172 Change at Will Big and Small Ruyi Chapter 174: Chapter 172 Change at Will Big and Small Ruyi Qin Feng had no idea that his newly sworn master intended to use certain methods to temper him; he still felt somewhat dizzy and could hardly believe that he had just pledged himself to the Great Elder of the Spiritual Snake Lineage.

Yet, looking at the Spiritual Snake he had placed in his Spiritual Beast Bag, touching the Spirit Cleansing Pill that Hao Shicheng had given him, and recalling various inherited knowledge about Foundation Establishment, he couldn’t help but wave his fist in boundless joy after a long while.

After a good while, he finally calmed down.

Still feeling that his emotions were too stirred up and not suitable for cultivation, he decided to relax tonight and not engage in meditative practice.

Thinking it over, he took out the Spiritual Snake given by Ning Wuxu, and after a few glances, he sent it directly into the Demon Refining Pot, where it was quickly subdued.

Qin Feng controlled the Spiritual Snake to display its Divine Skills, and finding that it indeed possessed the skill of Big and Small Changes, he was overjoyed.

He had been worried about not having enough Spirit Stones to buy two top-level bloodline Spiritual Beasts; now, with this Spiritual Snake, he could directly use it on the Ruyi Golden Snake, allowing him to save Spirit Stones to nurture the Swallowing Sky Toad.

…

While the skill of changing size wasn’t the strongest Divine Skill, if used cleverly, it could be very effective.

Moreover, advancing this skill could lead to mastering Fatian Xiangdi, the top-level Great Divine Power and one of the strongest Divine Skills of the Demon Clan.

Few in the Demon Clan mastered Fatian Xiangdi, and typically, only those with formidable war power could possibly comprehend it.

Ordinary members of the Demon Clan, even if they did understand it, wouldn’t find it suitable to use this Divine Skill.

Especially for smaller members of the Demon Clan who are usually agile by nature, even if they increased their bodies a hundredfold or a thousandfold with Fatian Xiangdi, how big could they really get?

Enlarging a small cat by a hundred times might not make it as large as a tiger in its natural size, while inherently powerful creatures like ape, lion, tiger, barbarian bull, and other Demon Beasts could become incredibly strong when their size increased by hundreds or thousands of times, capable of moving mountains and filling seas with ease.

Although Fatian Xiangdi wasn’t just about enlarging the body—which also involved some manipulation of strength—physically weak races were indeed unsuitable for cultivating this Divine Skill.

Overjoyed, Qin Feng didn’t hesitate and immediately harnessed the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Vein inside the Void Shattering Hammer Cave Mansion to activate the Demon Refining Pot and integrate the Essence Blood of the Spiritual Snake into the Ruyi Golden Snake.

He had been thinking that the body of the Ruyi Golden Snake was too small, and now the opportunity to enlarge it had arrived.

Although it could only enlarge during the activation of the Divine Skill, it was still good and exactly suited for battle.

This time, he summoned more Spiritual Power from the Spirit Vein than last time, mainly because the Spirit Vein’s emissions were usually used for the other Spiritual Beasts’ cultivation, leaving not much Spiritual Energy in the second layer of the space; he had to draw from the Spirit Vein to harness the power of the Demon Refining Pot for integration.

As time ticked by slowly, the bloody mist slowly integrated into the body of the Ruyi Golden Snake.

Through Qin Feng’s Divine Sense, the Ruyi Golden Snake seemed to have gained another ability.

Two quarters of an hour later, the integration was finally complete, taking twice as much time as during his Qi Refining Realm.

However, this amount of time wasn’t significant compared to possessing another Divine Skill.

Even if it took him a year, he would be willing.

Qin Feng extended his hand and summoned the Ruyi Golden Snake out of the Demon Refining Pot, holding it in his hand to inspect it.

Visually, it looked no different from before, remaining slender and unremarkable.

If it weren’t for its entire body shining with golden light, it wouldn’t be very noteworthy.

“Grow bigger, bigger, bigger…”

As his mind willed it, the newly acquired Transformation Divine Power inside the Ruyi Golden Snake instantly activated.

Its body, which was originally the length of chopsticks, spiraled and expanded to the thickness of a finger, two feet in length.

Despite further attempts, it didn’t grow any larger.

Qin Feng was instantly disheartened; he had been hoping to turn the Ruyi Golden Snake into a large python, but now, with just two feet in length, it had only doubled in size—what use was that?

Fortunately, he knew that he had just integrated this ability and that it would require gradual cultivation and practice, much like the Earth Escape Divine Power initially, which could only penetrate two or three feet into the ground.

After continuous practice and cultivation, he eventually managed to reach several dozen feet deep.

Thus, Qin Feng quickly adjusted his mood and let the Ruyi Golden Snake try to shrink.

“Smaller, smaller, smaller!”

Under his control, the size of the Ruyi Golden Snake halved again, barely longer than a middle finger.

Looking at the tiny snake in his hand, Qin Feng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Such a small one, resembling a worm, actually looked quite cute.

Ning Wuxu had told him that the original Spiritual Snake could change its body tenfold at most and shrink similarly.

If the Ruyi Golden Snake’s body was reduced tenfold, it would probably be less than an inch long, which could be great for sneak attacks.

After all, such a tiny Spiritual Snake could easily be overlooked with slight carelessness.

Perhaps during battle, it could also be hidden under other offensive methods.

Given the Ruyi Golden Snake’s Attack Power, it would certainly be extremely troublesome once it got close.

And it could also enlarge its body instantly when it was in close proximity.

If it increased tenfold, it would be nearly thirty feet long, enough to utilize the Snake Clan’s most commonly used entanglement skill.

As he controlled it, the Ruyi Golden Snake’s transformations became increasingly fitting, which pleased him greatly.

He then merged with the Ruyi Golden Snake and tried to use the size-changing divine power to slightly heighten his body by a few inches.

After discovering that he felt no discomfort, he confidently began to change his shape.

In the room, his body then began to fluctuate in height, at times almost reaching the ceiling, and at other times not even as tall as a table; it was quite amusing.

Qin Feng played around for a while, then a sudden thought struck him, and he wondered whether he could eventually refine this size-changing divine power to target just one part of the body.

For example…

the arms!

And the legs.

If during close combat, his overall size remained the same, but his arms or legs suddenly extended to strike multiple times their normal length, it would certainly catch his opponent off guard and could be highly effective.

Of course, being a well-meaning, exemplary young man, he only considered the application to limbs useful in combat, ignoring other parts of the body that had no use in battle.

After playing for a moment, Qin Feng noticed that a significant amount of power had been drained from the Ruyi Golden Snake.

He then separated from the merge state and joyfully held the Ruyi Golden Snake in his hands.

He thought that perhaps in the future when merging other Spiritual Snake bloodline divine powers into the Ruyi Golden Snake, he should consider those naturally strong-bodied Spiritual Snakes.

Only in that way could the body of the Ruyi Golden Snake grow quickly.

If the Ruyi Golden Snake reached a size of thirty feet, a tenfold increase would make it as long as three hundred feet.

Many Demon Beasts liked close-quarter combat, and once the Ruyi Golden Snake’s body reached such a massive size, ordinary beasts of the same class would hardly have any opportunity to fight back; it would simply outclass them.

He thought of the cultivators from the Giant Spirit Sect, who were all physically powerful.

In the future, if he merged with the Ruyi Golden Snake and increased their size tenfold, he would truly be a giant.

With the Ruyi Golden Snake’s strong defense, he should be able to directly compete with a Giant Spirit Sect cultivator.

If he eventually cultivated this size-changing divine power to perfection, resembling ‘Law Heaven Earth’, his combat power would increase tenfold.

Although it would consume a great deal, he would not fear any body refining cultivators.

Even if he could eventually learn a body refining technique and pair it with the Ruyi Golden Snake’s Vajra indestructible defense, he would be unmatched in strength among cultivators of the same level.

However, there are countless mysterious techniques in the cultivation world, some of which can bypass the robust physical bodies of body refining cultivators and target their divine souls specifically.

Just like the cultivators of the Spiritual Snake Lineage who practice “Netherworld Yin Snake Seven Incantations”; no matter how strong the opponent’s body, they can directly cast spells to kill them.

These types of cultivators might not necessarily be very strong in combat, but they are definitely troublesome and could easily ambush someone if they were careless. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After a while, Qin Feng pulled his mind back from these thoughts; such levels were still very far from his reach as he had only just succeeded in Foundation Establishment and was still a minor cultivator.

He should focus on how to improve his cultivation first.

Without reaching a higher realm, thinking too much was useless.

Through the prior explanations from his master, Ning Wuxu, Qin Feng had gained a deep understanding of the cultivation techniques of the Foundation Establishment Realm and the tricks between its various phases.

As long as he cultivated according to the direction indicated by his master, there wouldn’t be any problems.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators progress slowly because refining their bodies with True Yuan consumes a lot, and the refining effect is not very satisfactory.

Unless aided by some special heavenly materials and spiritual elixirs, which can expedite the refining process.

Thus, many Foundation Establishment disciples from the Beast Taming Sect would regularly venture out to complete various missions.

Although dangerous, these missions could earn them resources to speed up their cultivation.

Whereas those deacon disciples who stayed at the sect’s mountain gate year-round, although they were an indispensable part of the sect, their cultivation lives were too bland.

They did not have the determined Daoist hearts that their more experienced counterparts possessed, nor did they have as many opportunities, resulting in their cultivation speed being much slower.

There were also many loose cultivators and small family Foundation Establishment cultivators like the old family head of the Qin Family, Qin Guanbao, who had been staying in his family stronghold for years to ensure his family’s succession.

Consequently, his advancement had been relatively slow, only reaching the middle peak of the sixth layer at over a hundred and sixty or seventy years old.

Qin Feng felt that if he had not had the Demon Refining Pot, like other cultivators, he would have possibly needed decades to reach Foundation Establishment Perfection.

However, with the Demon Refining Pot, he was different from other cultivators.

He could refine and purify Spiritual Energy, whether from the corpses of Demon Beasts or Spirit Stones, all of which could accelerate his cultivation speed.

If he had enough resources and a continuous supply of pure Spiritual Energy, his body refining pace would definitely surpass ordinary people.

Moreover, if he didn’t care about depleting the Spirit Vein inside the Void Shattering Hammer Cave Mansion and directly extracted the origin of the Spirit Vein for cultivation, he could reach Foundation Establishment Perfection within three years.

Of course, unless necessary, he was still reluctant to directly consume the Spirit Vein for cultivation; it was too wasteful.

Spirit Veins are a renewable resource; as long as the Spirit Vein remains, it could emit Spiritual Energy to fuel the cultivation of the Spiritual Beasts inside the Demon Refining Pot, allowing him to save on feeding resources into it and also enabling the beasts inside to enhance their abilities through cultivation—killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, he still needed to preserve it for when the Ruyi Golden Snake advanced to the Golden Core Realm and merged with a Demon Core Realm Snake Demon, so it wasn’t prudent to consume too much.
