Chapter 6057: The Qilin Awakens, Rank Nine Half-God
Emerging from the sacred land, Chu Feng saw the golden dragon mountain range.
He had planned to pay a visit to Lord Yuwei and the others, but now that there was something more urgent at hand, he could only come by again. Besides, he thought that it would be better if he brought Jia Lingyi with him to visit Lord Yuwei.
The group led by the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief didnât enter a formation realm. Instead, they boarded a flying warship together with him.
This flying warship was a treasure. It moved at incredible speeds, even in the teleportation passageway.
Chu Feng got a room for himself. He sat down to examine the metal piece he had obtained from Godâs Era.
âLittle Feng, are you heading to the Totem Dragon Clan again?â a voice Chu Feng had been expecting for a long time finally sounded.
âQilin Pig, youâre finally awake!â Chu Feng opened his eyes in delight.
The one who had just spoken was the Heaven-devouring Qilin!
âWatch your language! What Qilin Pig? Call me Grandpa Qilin!â the Heaven-devouring Qilin bellowed.
âCut the crap. Why did it take you so long to assimilate the dragon essence? More importantly, did you succeed?â Chu Feng asked.
âGood news, Little Feng. The dragon essence inside the ancestral dragonâs remains was stronger than I anticipated. I suspect that it might be the remains of a true dragon, or else it wouldnât have taken me so long to assimilate the dragon essence.â
âLetâs get straight to the main point. You said that youâll help me achieve a breakthrough once youâre done with your assimilation. Are you able to do it or not?â Chu Feng asked.
âOf course! Sit well. Iâll show you my prowess!â
An intense surge of natural energies gushed from the Heaven-devouring Qilinâs imprint into Chu Fengâs body. These natural energies were so pure that they could be directly used for cultivation without further refinement.
Chu Feng quickly assimilated the natural energies.
It didnât take long for a nine-colored lightning phenomenon to appear in the sky, and it was swiftly moving along with the flying warship, tracing Chu Fengâs movements.
The crowd instinctively looked toward Chu Fengâs room.
âIs young friend Chu Feng about to make a breakthrough?â
The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief and the others were overjoyed.
As the nine-colored lightning zapped down and seeped into his body, Chu Fengâs cultivation rose to rank nine Half-God level. However, he wasnât satisfied with the outcome.
âQilin Pig, this isnât what you have promised.â
The surge of natural energies was only enough for him to reach rank nine Half-God level; there was not a droplet of energy left after that.
âWhat do you mean by that?â the Heaven-devouring Qilin asked in confusion.
âYou said that youâd raise my cultivation by two ranks once you assimilate the dragon essence. You also mentioned earlier that the dragon essence is stronger than you expected, which is why it took you such a long time to assimilate it.
âI shanât be so greedy as to ask for a breakthrough of three cultivation ranks, but shouldnât you at least help me advance two ranks to True God level?â Chu Feng asked.
âLittle Feng, whereâs your conscience? What cultivation level were you at when I first started assimilating the dragon essence? You were only at rank three Half-God level! The resources required for a rank three Half-God to make a breakthrough are different from that of a rank eight Half-God!
âNot to mention, due to your bloodline, the cultivation resources you need to make a breakthrough are far greater than that of an ordinary cultivator. The natural energies I just pumped into you would have been enough for any other cultivator to reach True God level! Blame it on your ravenous appetite!
âHad it been anyone else, no matter how much dragon essence they assimilate, thereâs no way they will be able to help you advance from rank eight Half-God to rank nine Half-God in a breath!
âHowever, you donât have to worry. Arenât we going to the Totem Dragon Clan now? This is an opportunity for you to grab more treasures from the ancestral dragonâs remnants. Give me more things to assimilate, and I guarantee that youâll make a breakthrough to True God level!â the Heaven-devouring Qilin said.
âHow do you know Iâm heading to the ancestral dragonâs forbidden land? Were you awake all this while?â Chu Feng asked.
âI just finished assimilating the dragon essence, but what do you take me for? I am aware of everything that has transpired while I was amid my assimilation.
âLittle Feng, I am serious when I say this, but that grandfather of yours is not as simple as he seems. You arenât a match for him, especially not in your current state. If you want to deal with him, you canât miss any chance to advance your cultivation. This trip to the ancestral dragonâs forbidden land is an opportunity for you,â the Heaven-devouring Qilin said.
âThatâs enough of you. That ancestral dragonâs remnant is my brotherâs ancestor. I wasnât able to do anything about it the last time as Long Lin stuffed the dragon essence into me, but thereâs no way Iâll desecrate my brotherâs ancestor to raise my cultivation. No matter how heinous I am, there are still principles I adhere to,â Chu Feng said.
âThatâs fine. I can do it on your behalf if you harbor reservations. Just bring me there, and Iâll show you my moves,â the Heaven-devouring Qilin said.
âShut up.â Chu Feng rolled his eyes.
The Heaven-devouring Qilin was not trustworthy. It would have long run away if not for the formation binding it. Naturally, Chu Feng wouldnât blindly listen to its lousy ideas.
Wang Qiang and the others soon walked in.
Congratulations were in order now that Chu Feng had advanced to rank nine Half-God level. The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief even promised Chu Feng a huge amount of cultivation resources to advance to True God level as gratitude if they successfully reclaimed the Totem Dragon Clan.
Chu Feng didnât turn down the offer.
It was true that he was helping the Totem Dragon Clan given his ties with Long Chengyu and Long Muxi, but that was a separate matter. If the Totem Dragon Clan wanted to offer him benefits, he had no reason to turn down the offer.
He urgently needed to raise his cultivation now, not to mention that he did save their lives. He didnât feel conscience-stricken receiving compensation from them.
Besides, Chu Fengâs enemy was no longer his peers but his grandfather, Jie Tianran. He had grown at a meteoric pace since leaving the Eastern Region, but he was still far from matching Jie Tianran, the strongest person in the present-era world of cultivation.
Soon, the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief and the others arrived at the realm where the ancestral dragonâs remains were located. The first thing they did was to secure a hiding spot and camp there.
While this realmâs security might seem lax on the surface, it was just a feint. This realm had always been tightly guarded since it was where the ancestral dragonâs remains lay.
The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief and the others needed to bide their time.
They were waiting for Long Shengjun and Long Xu to launch their attack, which should lead to the mobilization of the experts stationed there. That would create an opening for them to strike.
Time ticked by.
Soon, it was already half a day since they arrived in this realm.
Wu!
Someone on the warship suddenly bent over in pain. More and more people followed suit with faces warped in pain, and their bodies became extremely weak.
In the end, the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief fell for it too. He clutched his dantian with both hands with a distorted face. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThis isnât good.â
Chu Feng and the others realized that something was amiss. This could be a means to deal with Totem Dragon Clansmen. They hadnât figured out how it worked yet, but clearly, they had fallen for the enemyâs ploy.
