Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming - Chapter 650 - 645 Big Seal Like a Mountain, Divine Power Boundless
“Li Shentong, your Li Family has gone too far!”
From afar, a thunderous voice boomed through the heavens and the earth. A middle-aged man, carrying a broadsword on his back and sporting a wildly unkempt beard an inch long, resembling steel needles, leapt from the flying boat, his eyes wide open and his aura terrifyingly fierce.
Across from him, an elderly man with a refined aura rose into the air, a faint smile on his face, “Luo Jianbei, there’s no need for such harsh words. My Li Family has always acted reasonably—when have we ever bullied you?”
“Hmph… You old fox have always been cunning. Surely, it was my Luo Family who discovered this vein first. Why has it suddenly become yours?”
“If merely seeing something makes it belong to your Luo Family, then you’ve also seen the Ghost City and the Netherworld Water, haven’t you? Why don’t I see you claiming them?”
“You…”
At this, Luo Jianbei was so rebutted that he was at a loss for words.
“Hehe, Brother Luo, don’t bother with him; this old man has always been a smooth talker. There’s no need to stoop to his level.”
Elsewhere, a fat middle-aged man standing in a pavilion chuckled as he tried to make peace, though his words were not particularly flattering.
“Hmph, Fatty Zhang, this is a matter between my Li Family and the Luo Family, why are you sticking your nose into it?”
Li Shentong eyed the fat man in the pavilion, his gaze sharpening slightly, clearly wary, “Meddle carelessly in others’ affairs and you might not only fail to gain any benefit but could get your meddling limbs chopped off!”
“Hehe, Brother Li, there’s no need to scare me. The Zhang Family has been cultivating for thousands of years; we won’t be easily dismissed with just a few words!”
With a smile still on his face, suggesting a demeanor that peace brings wealth, Fatty Zhang’s actually abrasive words followed, “I’ve already formed a marriage alliance with Brother Luo. His concerns are mine as well.
Besides, Brother Luo has invited me to be part of this, and upon success, he has promised to split the vein equally between our families. How could I possibly stay uninvolved?”
“What?”
Li Shentong’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, “Luo Jianbei, aren’t you afraid of inviting a wolf into your house?
Fatty Zhang from Treasure Pavilion has always been greedy; beware you don’t end up losing more than you gain!”
Luo Jianbei snorted coldly, “I’d rather invite a wolf into my house than have you walk off with the advantage!”
“Alright, alright, no need to argue here; this matter requires further consideration!”
Then, from the enormous black banner that blotted out the sun and sky, a handsome young man appeared, “We all make our livings within the boundaries of Ganzhou, and fighting only damages our good relations. In my view, since there’s an impasse, why don’t we all step back and join hands in developing this vein?”
“You’d like that, wouldn’t you? You have nothing to do with this place, yet with just one sentence, you aim to take over a fifth of the profits. You want so much benefit without spilling any blood, of course you’d refuse any loss!”
Luo Jianbei slammed his hand on the broadsword behind him, “However, if you want benefits without cause, you’ll first have to get past Luo’s sword!”
“You guys, how have you been all these years? Wait, uh-oh?”
Before he could finish, the handsome young man’s gaze suddenly shifted towards Qin Feng.
They’d been busy talking and hadn’t yet directed their attention downwards. However, as they ascended, their flying magical treasures didn’t rise with them but instead descended slowly, trapping Qin Feng and the Spirit Turtle in between.
Initially, these cultivators hadn’t alarmed the great cultivators above because they merely thought Qin Feng was just passing by and happened to stop here.
Plus, Qin Feng himself exuded an extraordinary aura, and the Spirit Turtle also appeared daunting, so they hadn’t forcibly driven Qin Feng away. They were getting ready to talk nicely with Qin Feng, asking him to move elsewhere so as not to disrupt the imminent combat when someone quickly recognized Qin Feng’s appearance.
After recognizing Qin Feng, they were simultaneously startled and delighted, hurriedly transmitting messages to their respective family heads.
It must be said that lately, the theft of the Beiming Immortal Mansion by a Daoist thief from the Kongkong sect had stirred up an uproar, causing the cultivators from Kongkong to hide in secret places and not venture out, planning to resolve issues only after things had calmed down.
But now, Qin Feng’s appearance had been rapidly spread through the markets across most of the Northern Domain, accompanied by a tempting bounty that made countless people green with envy. Thus, countless individuals observed the cultivators flying in the sky, hoping to bump into Qin Feng by chance.
And now, ironically, Qin Feng, whom so many had failed to track, seemed to have blatantly appeared before them!
“…Are you the one who stole from Beiming Immortal Mansion, the Daoist fellow of Kongkong?”
In the sky, the four who were initially at daggers drawn, eager to immediately slay each other, suddenly quieted down, then fixed their gazes steadfastly on Qin Feng.
“I did not steal from Beiming Immortal Mansion!”
Qin Feng looked up, casting a calm glance at the handsome young man who had spoken, “Moreover, I am not a cultivator of Kongkong. I am…”
“Enough with your sophistry!”
The young man shouted abruptly, interrupting Qin Feng’s words and coldly said: “Cultivators of Kongkong are best at these tricks—either denying the theft or disavowing their origins. Who in the Cultivation World doesn’t know your usual ploys?”
“Exactly, the cultivators of Kongkong are deceitful like that. Fellow daoists, there’s no need to waste words with him. It’s best to capture him quickly, lest he uses the escape skills of Kongkong to flee at any moment!”
Echoing him, Fatty Zhang immediately added.
Luo Jianbei, boisterous by nature, opened his mouth to speak but was stopped by a glance from Fatty Zhang. He quickly caught on, nodding, “Exactly, my family was robbed in my youth, and it was said to be the work of your Kongkong. Now that I’ve encountered you, there’s no way I can let you go!”
At first, Qin Feng had intended to reveal his identity to make these cultivators wary of taking action against him, but hearing their words, he instantly understood their intentions.
They vaguely guessed that his identity might be different from the tumultuous rumors circulating.
However, to avoid complications, they chose to ignore it, even preventing Qin Feng from revealing his true identity—had they known Qin Feng’s true identity, they might have hesitated; better now to act directly, and later they could push the blame onto Kongkong if need be.
At this point, they even stopped bothering about the vein in the mountains.
Compared to a vein, a Cave Heaven World is much more significant!
Even if they couldn’t occupy Beiming Immortal Mansion in the end, finding opportunities inside as the first cultivators to enter would be beneficial. They were bound to reap the most benefits, potentially ascending to immortality in just a few years.
Compared to becoming an immortal, the vein here was trivial.
“Ah…”
Qin Feng sighed softly.
He had not expected that stopping at a random spot to rest would lead him into a conflict over mineral veins between several forces, let alone becoming the most sought-after individual by these people.
It seemed, he was indeed more attractive than the mineral veins!
“Forget it, since it’s come to this…” he paused, then decisively added, “let’s make a move!”
Qin Feng, who had been sighing, suddenly manifested nine enormous dragon heads behind him at the end of his statement. They roared, emitting a dragon roar that intimidated the soul. Along with the overwhelming dragon power, streams of Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind burst forth fiercely.
In an instant, the sky dimmed, and the sun and moon lost their glow. Under the Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind, even the Primordial Spirit Cultivators could scarcely see or hear, forced to extend their Divine Sense to search for Qin Feng’s figure and summon Spiritual Treasures to counteract the Golden Wind!
Such was the condition of even the Primordial Spirit Cultivators. Those cultivators of lower realms might just come into contact with the Golden Wind and risk having their Qi invade their bodies, damaging their meridians, Primordial Spirit, or even reducing their flesh and bones to mud, scattering their bodies with the wild wind.
However, these cultivators were not injured, not because they were particularly strong, but because they were still aboard large-scale Flying Escape Treasures and had not disembarked.
Seeing Qin Feng deploy such fierce Spirit Transforming Golden Wind, the cultivators aboard were startled. The cultivators operating the Flying Escape Treasures swiftly activated the treasures’ defensive restrictions to fend off the lashes of the Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind.
Although they managed to barely ward off the Golden Wind and their personnel suffered no damages, the few large-scale Flying Escape Treasures were nonetheless impaired considerably.
Especially the black banner behind the handsome young man, which received extra attention from Qin Feng; the powerful Spirit Transforming Golden Wind not only tore through the banner but also damaged much of the internal restrictions within the treasure, causing the banner’s Spirit Light to dim and wobble to the ground unsteadily.
“What incredible divine power!”
The handsome young man, among others who had taken refuge within a Flying Escape Treasure, almost immediately confirmed that Qin Feng was not a cultivator from the Kongkong Sect.
Indeed, the Kongkong Sect excelled in “Empty Hands,” and their skills lay in escape divine powers, not such violent and malevolent Divine Wind!
They exchanged looks and immediately decided to join forces.
The previous animosities were of no account in the face of the prospect of acquiring the Beiming Immortal Mansion and the opportunity to advance in the Immortal Dao!
“Fellow Daoists, this individual is exceptionally powerful. Please do not hold back; let’s suppress him here together!”
Li Shentong spoke up, “The remaining disciples, fall back. Set up a Great Array to seal this place. He must not be allowed to escape, nor should we let outside cultivators disturb our formation, lest he takes the chance to flee!”
“Yes!”
The cultivators from various factions this time did not argue at all, nor did they care that it was Li Shentong who was giving the orders; they eagerly flew out from the treasures and, forming patterns in mid-air, arrayed for battle, ready to assist the Great Cultivators in capturing Qin Feng.
Once they gained control of the Beiming Immortal Mansion, Li Shentong knew with so many people involved, it was inevitable that word would leak out, so he definitely would not consider keeping this Cave Heaven Treasure for himself. He would likely present it to the backer Sect in exchange for their support and aid after plundering a vast amount of resources.
If that were the case, they would undoubtedly also be brought along to collect treasures; after all, how many treasures could a few Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivators gather by themselves?
Having understood these truths, cultivators from all directions, filled with excitement and fervor, followed the commands to arrange their formations, preparing to lay down a war array to seal off the region!
“Hmph! Do you really take me for soft clay, to be manipulated at will?”
Qin Feng’s face chilled as he suddenly reached out and pushed hard on the shell of the Spirit Turtle, shoving it into the group behind the handsome young man.
The young man attempted to intervene but was forced to defend himself against several Golden Hole Finger strikes released by Qin Feng, lest a moment’s negligence leave his Dharma Body injured by the sharp golden glints!
“Roar…”
The Spirit Turtle fell among the crowd, whose formation was not yet complete, and it bellowed loudly, spewing out a stream of water from its mouth.
The stream turned into a tidal wave that swept toward the crowd.
This was the result of its integration with the Dragon Turtle bloodline, gaining the Water Manipulation Divine Power, and condensing a segment of heavy water within its body.
Although it had not integrated for long, and the amount of heavy water was limited, making it impossible to disperse the formation before it, it was still sufficient to create trouble for them.
Most importantly, its unique talent allowed it to consume its spirit to deduce tactics during combat. Ordinary opponents facing these cultivators would find it difficult, but to the Spirit Turtle, the formation laid by these people was crude, full of flaws it could easily exploit!
Thus, even though there were a few Dharma Image Realm cultivators among these cultivators trying to direct the formation and block the Spirit Turtle,
in the end, they could not manage this slippery Turtle, which instead caused chaos in their ranks, using the pandemonium to not only evade the attacks of the Dharma Image Cultivators but also redirect their attacks towards other formations, provoking continuous curses from those cultivators.
“Dammit!”
The handsome young man’s cheeks flushed with anger as he couldn’t help but reprimand, “Can’t even handle a Dharma Image Realm Spirit Turtle, what use are you?”
“Not only are they useless, but you are useless too!”
Qin Feng chuckled lightly, his figure flickering as he approached the young man, reaching for his head.
His hand gleamed with golden light, his fingers like hooks, flashing with sharp edges—were it to capture the head, it would pierce five holes instantly!
Li Shentong and others were about to step forward to assist but saw the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon Dharma twisting its head to employ different Divine Powers on them, forcing them to deal with the immediate threats.
Facing Qin Feng alone, the young man was startled. Seeing Qin Feng’s fierce attack, he quickly deployed his Defensive Divine Power to resist and reached into his sleeve to fetch a jade seal.
This jade seal was initially just inches in size, but as the young man raised his hand, the seal suddenly expanded to a circumference of three hundred Zhang, glowing brilliantly with endless runes emerging. Under the runes’ enhancement, it exuded a massive suppressive force, like a mountain falling toward Qin Feng.
“Good Magical Treasure!”
Qin Feng exclaimed, his figure swelling to a giant of a hundred Zhang. He lifted his arms and forcefully caught the Big Seal, then with a heave, flung the jade seal toward the Luo Family cultivators’ formation not far away.
Having cultivated Body Refining Techniques, his inherent strength was immense. Now, employing the Divine Power of Fatian Xiangdi to his body, not only was his size maximized, but his Physical Body Power was also tenfold, enabling him to bear this mountain-like huge jade seal.
