Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 241: Chapter 238: The Temptation of the Senior Sister Chapter 241: Chapter 238: The Temptation of the Senior Sister “Tree Elder.”

With Ning Wuxu’s call, the tall and sturdy ancient Spiritual Tree that soared into the skies suddenly trembled.

Flap flap flap, dozens of Spiritual Birds perched on the branches were startled into flight, circling for a moment before, possibly sensing no danger, they finally settled back down.

A weathered face gradually appeared on the vast trunk of the tree, covered with dense wrinkles and a long, drooping beard.

This aged face seemed to have undergone countless years of vicissitudes.

However, beneath the signs of age, there was also a kind of vigorous vitality.

It should have been quite contradictory, yet it felt incredibly natural, without the slightest sense of discordance.

Tree Elder slowly opened his eyes to look at Ning Wuxu, carefully recognizing for a moment before saying, “Ah, it’s you, Ning Wuxu of the Spiritual Snake Lineage, um, your cultivation has progressed quite rapidly.

…

Last time I saw you, you had just formed your Golden Core, and now you have already cultivated to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Human Clan Cultivators really are blessed in ways that an old piece of deadwood like me cannot match.”

Ning Wuxu bowed in respect, “Tree Elder is too kind.

It has been a thousand years since we last met; some progress on my part is to be expected.”

“Ah, has it already been a thousand years?”

Tree Elder seemed a bit confused, and after a long moment, he sighed helplessly, “I’m old; I’ve dozed off a few times and have already lost track of time.”

This Tree Elder had merely slept a few times, and a thousand years had passed?

That was some serious sleeping!

One must know that over ninety percent of cultivators in the world don’t even have a lifespan of a thousand years.

This one, however, seemed to effortlessly spend such lengthy periods of time sleeping. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But then, he might not actually have been sleeping.

Qin Feng had not cultivated to the Tree Elder’s cultivation realm; how could he know whether such an existence was truly sleeping or traversing the void and embracing the Dao?

Ahead, after the Tree Elder expressed his sentiment, he asked Ning Wuxu, “What brings you here?”

“It is like this.”

Ning Wuxu gestured with his hand towards Qin Feng behind him and said, “This is my disciple, Qin Feng.

He has taken a liking to the Soul Devouring Vine Demon on that cliff and wishes to tame it.

I ask for Tree Elder’s permission.”

“Oh, I thought it was something serious.”

Tree Elder’s massive face shifted slightly on the tree trunk, glanced at the Vine Demon on the cliff, and after transmitting a wisp of divine thought, he said, “Go ahead, I have already spoken to it.

As long as your disciple can gain its recognition, he can directly take the Vine Demon away.

Besides, that little Vine Demon itself isn’t one to settle down.

When it has nothing to do, it loves to provoke other Tree Demons.

It’s best to take it away quickly to give everyone some peace.”

“Thank you, Tree Elder.”

Qin Feng bowed to the Tree Elder, then rose and flew towards the Vine Demon on the cliff.

The process of taming the Vine Demon was simple and crude, without much difficulty.

Although the Vine Demon had some not insignificant ability, dozens of vines, large and small, whipped and entangled wildly.

Its main body was as tough as iron, with sharp thorns growing amongst the branches and leaves.

Even when the vines were sliced through by Qin Feng, they would quickly grow back.

But its growth speed clearly could not keep up with Qin Feng’s slashing pace.

Since Ning Wuxu helped him infuse a trace of the Origin Sword Qi’s golden light from the Golden Light Mirror into the innate divine ability of the Ruyi Golden Snake, the power of Ruyi Divine Light had greatly increased, its sharpness now comparable to a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, the Flying Sword.

This was just the current effect; as his cultivation progressed, the Ruyi Golden Light would certainly become even sharper, surpassing the level of magical treasures and even Spiritual Treasure-level Flying Swords was not impossible.

The body of the Soul Devouring Vine Demon was tough, but still not strong enough to withstand the first slashing strike of the Ruyi Golden Light.

When Qin Feng bolstered his back wings with Ruyi Golden Light, he was like cutting through vegetables with ease, severing the vine demon’s vines that were intended to entangle him.

While doing so would consume a significant amount of Ruyi Golden Light, he had no intention of engaging in a protracted battle with the Soul Devouring Vine Demon.

Faster than lightning with the boost from the Ruyi Golden Light, he charged directly to the root of the vine demon.

Wrapping his arms around the base, he summoned all his strength and actually managed to uproot the vine demon from the ground.

This was the result of his preliminary cultivation of the Azure Dragon Daoist Body.

The “Azure Dragon Divine Technique” was a Body Refining Technique that led directly to the Immortal Dao and, in some respects, was not inferior to the Body Refining Techniques of the Giant Spirit Sect.

However, thus far, no cultivator had used this Divine Art to reach the Golden Immortal Realm, which was why it seemed less formidable than the Giant Spirit Sect’s Body Refining Techniques.

But at the same cultivation realm, it was definitely a technique that could stand toe to toe with the Body Refining Cultivators of the Giant Spirit Sect, so concentrating his body’s strength to uproot a spiritual vine was not too difficult a task for Qin Feng.

Had it been a Spiritual Tree, he would not have been able to do this since the roots of the Spiritual Wells and Trees were too developed.

However, while the roots of the Soul Devouring Vine Demon also penetrated deep underground, apart from the main root, the other roots were relatively delicate.

More importantly, several feet below the surface was the main part where the vine demon stored its energy.

Now exposed on the ground, especially when the distinctly thicker root was wrapped by the sharp Ruyi Golden Light, the Soul Devouring Vine Demon suddenly became docile.

Lying there motionless, it coiled up all its vines, obediently showing a submissive posture, allowing Qin Feng to implant the Binding Great Spell into its divine soul.

Once the Binding Spell was successfully seeded, Qin Feng quickly communicated with the vine demon before storing it in the Spiritual Beast Bag within his sleeve.

In the presence of his master and the Tree Elder of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he did not wish to reveal the existence of his Demon Refining Pot.

It wasn’t that he feared these two would snatch his treasure, but rather he was concerned that if word got out, others might covet it.

In the future, someone might lay traps for him in secret to kill him and obtain his Demon Refining Pot.

After capturing the Soul Devouring Vine Demon, Ning Wuxu bade the Tree Elder farewell and took Qin Feng toward a large hall in the center of the Grotto Heaven.

This place was where the sect’s personnel managed all the spiritual beasts of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven.

Everything from the living environment of the spiritual beasts to their food supply required the sect’s disciples to categorize and handle accordingly.

Of course, whether a new spiritual beast was born or one was taken away by a sect cultivator, all such events also needed to be registered here for ease of management by the sect.

After registering his subjugation of the Soul Devouring Vine Demon, Ning Wuxu left promptly with Qin Feng and flew out of the Grotto Heaven.

With the cultivators from various sects of the alliance gathered at the Beast Taming Sect, most disciples naturally had to be stationed outside the Mountain Gate, but the main representatives of each sect were still inside the Beast Taming Sect, discussing with the elders how to join forces in battle.

As a Great Elder of the Spiritual Snake lineage and one of the strongest elders of the Beast Taming Sect, Ning Wuxu could not be absent for long.

After all, he was one of the main higher-ups commanding the cultivator army, and many discussions simply could not proceed without him.

Thus, after bringing Qin Feng back to the Heavenly Snake Ridge, he merely inquired briefly about his current cultivation, then quickly left the ridge to attend the alliance meeting at the sect’s main hall.

As for any doubts Qin Feng had about his cultivation, he could consult his senior brothers and sisters.

For now, having just cultivated his Azure Dragon Daoist Body, Qin Feng’s most important task was to stabilize his cultivation and then continue to temper his Daoist Body with the techniques from the “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture” to forge an even more robust Daoist Foundation.

In addition, he needed to seize the time to strengthen the bond with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, quickly master the Ruyi Golden Light divine ability, and then he would be able to cultivate the Golden Hole Finger.

Fortunately, Qin Feng had already gained significant insight into divine skills while practicing the Shrinking Ground to Inch technique, and now the connection with his Ruyi Golden Snake was steadily growing stronger.

The day when he could rely on his Lifebound Spiritual Beast to achieve his own divine skills was not far away.

In addition to cultivation, he had quite a few things to ask his senior brothers and sisters, especially regarding many doubts he had about cultivation.

Originally, he hadn’t had so many questions, but after achieving some success with the Azure Dragon Divine Technique, and re-refining his Daoist Body, he had gained different insights into cultivation.

However, Hao Shicheng did not have such experience; after all, he was not a true disciple and had not cultivated the Azure Dragon Divine Technique, and many things were unclear to him.

The eldest senior brother could have been helpful, as a true disciple from two generations ago, with hundreds of years of cultivation and deep Dao cultivation, he would be capable of advising Qin Feng on all the problems he was encountering.

However, unfortunately, this eldest senior brother was usually very busy, often training disciples for the sect, teaching them the coordination of war formations, and instructing them on how to fight against others on the battlefield, hence his presence was rarely seen.

As a result, the one truly available who Qin Feng could frequently consult was Liu Xuanling.

Although Liu Xuanling had not cultivated the Azure Dragon Divine Technique, she had also studied the Taiyin Refining God Technique, a legacy technique from the Ancient Great Sect of Guanghan Palace.

Even though the Taiyin Refining God Technique was not a Body Refinement Technique but was specifically for the cultivation of the Divine Soul, there were no issues for her in advising a small Foundation Establishment Cultivator like him, since Liu Xuanling’s understanding of Dao principles was profound.

Moreover, Liu Xuanling was very interested in the Azure Dragon Divine Technique, a technique that only true disciples could cultivate.

Although she did not dare to force Qin Feng to teach her the Azure Dragon Divine Technique, she was secretly probing the mysteries of this divine art while advising him.

Truth be told, she and Qin Feng were following two different paths.

Qin Feng, practicing both body cultivation and other techniques, would eventually be able to rely on his physical body to become a saint and embark on the Longevity Immortal Path.

Liu Xuanling’s path was different; the Beast Taming Sect’s techniques were already heavily focused on cultivating the Divine Soul.

On top of the Heavenly Snake Swallowing the Moon Technique, she also cultivated the Taiyin Refining God Technique.

Her Primordial Spirit would undoubtedly become incredibly powerful in the future, which would greatly benefit her understanding of the Dao.

If she wished, she could also tame more Spiritual Beasts than other people.

Even if she became powerful enough, taming higher-level Spiritual Beasts wasn’t necessarily out of the question, of course, provided she could overpower the more powerful Spiritual Beasts first.

In the Guanghan Palace legacy, there was a matching Body Refining Technique called the Taiyin Refining Shape Technique, a Supreme Technique for cultivating the Taiyin Daoist Body.

Unfortunately, Liu Xuanling did not receive it at the beginning, so she did not cultivate her physical body.

But this was perhaps for the best; after all, the energy of a person is finite.

Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect already needed to care for their Spiritual Beasts while cultivating, and she had also undertaken a Soul Refining Technique.

If she added another Body Refinement Technique, her speed of cultivation would have significantly decreased, and it might not have been advantageous.

Liu Xuanling had recently advanced to the Purple Mansion realm, but with her solid foundation, she did not need to spend time stabilizing her cultivation, so she seemed relatively free.

Since her little junior brother proactively sought her advice on cultivation, she naturally did not hesitate to teach him, and it was also an excellent opportunity to glimpse the mysteries of the Azure Dragon Divine Technique.

“Little junior brother, run through your cultivation technique a few more times,” Liu Xuanling instructed, leaning closer to Qin Feng with a seductive tone, “so your senior sister can comprehend it slowly and better advise you on your future cultivation.”

Qin Feng looked at the stunning face before him and felt his mouth go dry, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Senior sister, I have taken an oath never to reveal the Azure Dragon Divine Technique to outsiders.”

“Hey, I’m hardly an outsider,” Liu Xuanling muttered dissatisfied, then continued, “I’m not asking you to teach me the cultivation method of the Azure Dragon Divine Technique, just offering you advice on your cultivation.”

Helplessly, Qin Feng said, “Senior sister, I’m truly grateful for your willingness to guide my cultivation, but could you possibly refrain from poking and prodding me while you do?

How am I supposed to cultivate like this?”

“I am just concerned about you encountering any mishaps during your practice,” she said, “I’m helping you by acting as your protector.”

Liu Xuanling opened her big eyes and started to spout nonsense.

“Originally, there shouldn’t have been any mishaps, but after your poking and prodding around, I ran into several issues with my cultivation technique, and I almost injured my meridians.”

Qin Feng let out a soft sigh, “The thing I regret most right now is coming to you for guidance in my cultivation.

Maybe I should just go back and cultivate on my own.”

Liu Xuanling’s eyes widened, “Are you looking down on my abilities, thinking that I’m not fit to guide you?”

“That’s not it.”

Qin Feng shook his head, “But Sister, you’re trying to guide me on too many things, and many of them I already know.

You’re just trying to understand the specific cultivation pathways of the ‘Azure Dragon Divine Technique’ under the guise of guiding me, right?

I advise you to give up on that.

Even if you manage to figure it out, it’s useless, you won’t be able to fully comprehend the divine technique.”

“I know that, it’s just that I can’t quite accept it.

If it weren’t for Long Qibian entering the Sect so many years before me, how could he have taken the position of the previous generation’s True Inheritance?

In terms of cultivation and potential, how am I not stronger than him?

Yet just because he joined the Sect many years before me, he manages to push me out of the True Discipleship, otherwise why would I take the risk to enter the Taiyin Secret Realm for inheritance!” Liu Xuanling said resentfully.

Then, with a crafty glint in her eye, she put on a flattering expression, “Little Junior Brother, just obediently run the ‘Azure Dragon Divine Technique’ for me to watch a few more times.

I just want to get a feel for the essence of the technique and draw some inspiration, I won’t actually cause you to break the Sect rules.”

“No way.”

Qin Feng flatly refused, “I’m afraid you might really mess up my cultivation and drive me to insanity, then I’ll be at a huge loss.”

“Don’t be so stingy, I’m your senior sister, I wouldn’t harm you.”

“No means no.”

Qin Feng spoke righteously, “This is a secret technique of the Sect, not to be disclosed to outsiders, even if you are my senior sister, it’s not allowed.”

“What if I add this to the offer?”

Liu Xuanling flipped her jade-like hand and took out a jade bottle, waggling it in front of Qin Feng’s face and said languidly, “This is a bottle of life-saving ‘Revive Pills’.

You should know their effects, as long as you’re still breathing, no matter how severe your injuries are, they can keep you alive, possessing the power to turn the tide.

Originally, I felt you were heading to the Otherworld Battlefield and it was too dangerous, so I wanted to give you this bottle of elixir.

But now I think…”

“Where are you coming from, Senior Sister?

We’re the closest of sisters and brothers.

Isn’t it just to have a look at your Junior Brother’s cultivation pathway?

Speaking of which, I need to consult you on some difficulties in my cultivation, so please do guide me more.”

Qin Feng snatched the jade bottle from Liu Xuanling’s hand, immediately changing his tune.

Half a day later.

“Senior Sister, I really can’t do it anymore.”

Qin Feng’s face turned bright red, “You’ve muddled up several of my meridians, and if this continues, the qi and blood in my body are going to erupt in turmoil, I can’t hold on much longer.”

“Is that so?”

Liu Xuanling somehow produced a bright red spirit fruit, “This is the ‘Chi Yan Spirit Fruit’ formed deep within the Fire Spirit Vein.

It’s a coveted spiritual object for all Fire Element Spiritual Beasts, especially those about to advance.

After consuming it, they’re very likely to directly form a Demon Core, you know!”

“…Senior Sister, I think I’m still okay.

Shall we continue?”
