Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

The Elders of the Beast Taming Sect were very responsible and diligent, managing to gather so many unique Spiritual Beasts and Strange Insects from the Central Region in such a short amount of time.

Apart from the Six-Winged Golden Cicada that existed at the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm, there were also two Demon Birds with Purple Mansion realm Dao cultivation, one with the Qingluan Bloodline known as the Phoenix Tail Quail, and the other, the Golden-Eyed Fire Crow.

Qin Feng placed great importance on this Six-Winged Golden Cicada.

Because the Six-Winged Golden Cicada possessed a very unique survival skill called "Golden Cicada Shedding."

Although this skill wasn't as good as the Death Replacement Divine Power, it wasn't far off.

When in a life-or-death crisis, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada could shed its outer shell to take a lethal hit for it, while its true body could take the chance to escape far away. It was very useful and practical.

Qin Feng coveted this divine skill greatly.

Unfortunately, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada was not a type of Spiritual Snake Demon Beast; otherwise, he would have certainly merged it with the Ruyi Golden Snake right away to cultivate this divine skill, giving him an additional survival technique in the upcoming trials to significantly enhance his security!

As an Exotic Species Spiritual Insect, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada naturally didn't possess just this one divine skill. It had many others related to the Gold Element Divine Power; it would depend on how much the Spring and Autumn Cicada could acquire in the future.

For now, Qin Feng had no intention of directly refining the Six-Winged Golden Cicada and merging it with the Spring and Autumn Cicada, not only because of the large difference in their Dao cultivation but also because merging it could potentially cause the Spring and Autumn Cicada to directly advance to the Purple Mansion Realm. Even if it couldn't, the other few Spiritual Cicadas wouldn't be of much help anymore, so he wanted to merge with other Spiritual Cicadas first.

Besides the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, the other two Spiritual Birds of the Purple Mansion Realm also had their extraordinary features.

Especially the Golden-Eyed Fire Crow, which could emit Sun True Fire from its twin golden eyes, clearly indicating that the Golden Crow Bloodline within it was much more concentrated than the Demon Bird bloodline Qin Feng had encountered before.

This delighted Qin Feng greatly. With this Golden-Eyed Fire Crow, perhaps the Death Curse Crow could quickly advance to the Purple Mansion level and subsequently boost the Curse Divine Power to advance as well.

After all, the Curse Divine Power was the Death Curse Crow's Primordial Divine Power, and as long as it reached the strength of Divine Soul Power and the Cultivation Realm of the Purple Mansion, it could quickly bring about the advancement of its Primordial Divine Power.

With the peculiarity of the Death Curse Crow, once the Curse Divine Power advanced, its power would be even more astonishing, greatly affecting even Great Cultivators at the Dharma Image or Primordial Spirit Realm under its curse.

With the aid of the Power of Laws, the power of the Curse Divine Power would be qualitatively improved. Without targeted defensive measures, even Great Cultivators could fall into the trap just by a slight mishap, although due to the large gap in cultivation, it would be difficult to directly curse-kill across levels, but it could still cause significant harm to Great Cultivators.

The case of the Qingluan was somewhat similar to that of the Death Curse Crow; even before it was tamed by Qin Feng, it had a weaker foundation than the Death Curse Crow, so Qin Feng was not in a hurry to have it merge again. Given the Qingluan's rapid progress with the inheritance from the Divine Bird Qingluan's Bloodline, it needed time to refine and polish even with the support of bloodline inheritance!

After all, the Demon Refining Pot was within his body, and he could help them merge bloodlines at any time.

Furthermore, the trials this time were not going to end within a short period, so there was no need to rush and risk mishaps that could befall the carefully cultivated Spiritual Beasts, leading to failed advancements, not only wasting an abundance of resources but also necessitating the search for new Spiritual Beasts.

In fact, Qin Feng had already spent most of the resources he'd accumulated in the Red Flame Demon Realm over the past few years by constantly using the Demon Refining Pot to help the Death Curse Crow and Qingluan merge bloodlines. With the remaining resources not permitting rash actions.

The stronger the Spiritual Beast, the more resources needed for merging, and since the Spring and Autumn Cicada also reached the peak of the Demon Core and even possessed the Time Law, helping it merge was even more costly. Therefore, Qin Feng now had to budget carefully.

He was considering where to acquire a large batch of resources. Without resources, surely he couldn't continue to just consume the internal Spiritual Veins.

He also wanted to expand the Spirit Vein further, turning it into a top-level Spirit Vein, and after becoming an Immortal, he even wanted to transform the space inside it into a Cave Heaven World. Without the Spirit Vein, this wouldn't work!

Qin Feng's eyes shifted, feeling that in the future, perhaps he should not only focus on resources. Maybe, he should consider collecting more Spirit Veins.

Just like when the Spirit Sun Daoist refined the Spirit Sun Treasure Wheel, continuously integrating medium and small-sized Spirit Veins into the magical treasure. Eventually, little by little, the Spirit Veins inside the Spirit Sun Treasure Wheel were cultivated into large Spirit Veins.

However, collecting Spirit Veins was not a matter of urgency.

For one thing, he still lacked the skill in this area; for another, he did not want to fleece the Biluo Great World.

In the Ancient Great Tribulation, the foundation of the Biluo Great World suffered significant consumption. Although even if Qin Feng squandered it further, it wouldn't amount to much for the entire world, he still did not wish to do so. Saving a little where he could was always good.

Moreover, as the expeditions began, there would be plenty of Spirit Veins for the taking in the Void Ten Thousand Realms. Why fixate on the few Spirit Veins on his own turf?

While Qin Feng pondered these matters, he infused the Wood Cicada's Bloodline Divine Power, which was entirely green with wings that looked like tree leaves, into the body of the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

In fact, the earliest form of the Spring and Autumn Cicada was a Wood Cicada. However, the immense power of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Tree was too overpowering and had suppressed its original Bloodline Divine Power.

Qin Feng wanted to use the Wood Cicada to stimulate the original Bloodline Divine Power within the Spring and Autumn Cicada, giving it more abilities.

Otherwise, despite possessing the Time Law, its combat power was too mediocre.

Unless he could cultivate the Time Law to the utmost limit, it was difficult to apply this Law directly in combat, and it could only be used as a supportive technique.

Therefore, it needed to know other Divine Powers to be effective; otherwise, it would not be able to help much in battle. Instead, Qin Feng would need to watch over it carefully; if it were to be slapped to death during a fight, he would be at a significant loss!

After all, this was the only Spiritual Cicada in the world that could use the Law of the universe. If the Spring and Autumn Cicada died, he would not be able to find a second one.

An hour later, the integration was complete.

Qin Feng took out the Spring and Autumn Cicada and observed it for a long while, finding that although it had successfully integrated and had awakened the Wood Cicada's bloodline, perhaps due to the previously absorbed power of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Tree being too high in level, the bloodline of a single Wood Cicada had not awakened many abilities within the Spring and Autumn Cicada. It had merely awakened a single Wood Escape Divine Power.

However, Qin Feng wasn't too disappointed. At least the Spring and Autumn Cicada had gained a means of saving itself. Besides, he didn't really need the Spiritual Cicada to fight for him at the moment.

This little creature was a treasure; it was better to protect it for the time being. Later on, once he had refined the Demon Refining Pot into his Lifebound Magical Treasure and obtained the Time Law from the Spring and Autumn Cicada, it then wouldn't be too late to have it serve him!

After successful integration, Qin Feng took the Spring and Autumn Cicada into the Demon Refining Pot and then proceeded to the rear hall.

He planned to learn from his master how to confine Spirit Veins and the technique of relocating them from underground to a Space Magical Treasure.

Originally, these tasks were not something that a Golden Core Realm cultivator could accomplish, and even a Purple Mansion Cultivator would generally find it difficult.

But he had already grasped the Earth Element Principle, and even had the Gold Element Principle to assist; with such a foundation to perform the technique, as long as he wasn't afraid of consuming True Yuan, it wasn't an impossible feat. So he wanted to learn in advance to avoid the heartache every time he had to help a Spiritual Beast integrate.

After all, watching so many resources disappear right before one's eyes, only to be exchanged for a slight enhancement of a Spiritual Beast's bloodline, how could it not pain one's heart?

If it were to be replaced with a Spirit Vein, it would be different. As long as the Spirit Vein was large enough and not damaged at its origin during fusion, the Spirit Vein could continuously release Spiritual Energy, making it more suitable for long-term development.

"Disciple pays respects to Master!"

Qin Feng sought out Ning Wuxu shortly after he had returned from visiting friends outside.

"Sit."

Ning Wuxu waved his hand, indicating for him to make himself comfortable.

Grinning, Qin Feng sidled up, "Master, I heard you've been quite close with Elder Xia Qing from the Four Seasons Academy lately?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Aren't you afraid of ruining someone's reputation?"

Ning Wuxu glared at him, "Your master has only been discussing the Dao with Daoist Fellow Xia, and it's not as if it's just the two of us present. What could possibly happen? To think you dare make up such stories about your master. Are you asking for a beating?"

"Hehe, I heard it from a few of the Elders, and out of curiosity, I just casually asked. I wouldn't dare spread it around."

"Hmph!"

Ning Wuxu replied indignantly, "So disrespectful. Just focus on your cultivation and don't get distracted by all this nonsense."

"Yes."

"The Elders have recently found quite a number of Spiritual Birds and Exotic Beasts for you. You should be dedicated to nurturing your own Spiritual Beasts. What brings you to me?"

"Disciple wishes to learn the technique of cutting off Spirit Veins!"

"En?"

Ning Wuxu looked at him, surprised, "Why have you suddenly become interested in learning this technique?"

"It's always good to have many skills!"

Qin Feng said in a lighthearted tone and then continued, "I have quite a few Spiritual Beasts, and I must create a suitable Spiritual Land for their cultivation; otherwise, it'll consume too many resources. Even though I possess a Space Magical Treasure with Spirit Veins that I can use, Spirit Veins are something that the more you have, the better. I can't just rely on those few Spirit Veins forever, draining them dry. As their Cultivation Realms increase, they will accordingly require more from the Spirit Veins. I was thinking that when I venture into various worlds in the future, I could use these techniques to move Spirit Veins into my Space Magical Treasure to strengthen its Spirit Veins."

"I see!"

Ning Wuxu nodded, "Well then, I will teach you several techniques for cutting off Spirit Veins. But remember, you are still weak in cultivation. Take care not to aim for large Spirit Veins; try your hand at smaller ones. If it's not working, don't force it. Otherwise, if the Spirit Vein breaks free from your restraint, there is a good chance it could backlash. Be very careful!"

Qin Feng quickly responded, "Thank you for the guidance, Master. I will certainly be careful."

"You understand well."

Ning Wuxu then passed on several techniques for cutting off Spirit Veins to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng had now grasped several Laws and his understanding of the Dao was far stronger than before, so he learned quickly. In less than half a day, he had mastered these techniques.

Of course, the effectiveness of these techniques would only be known when he used them.

"Not bad."

Ning Wuxu was satisfied with the speed at which his disciple had learned, "Actually, Elder Zhong Duanshan is far more proficient in this kind of technique than I am, as he specializes in the Dao of Earth. He is far beyond me when it comes to techniques for cutting off Spirit Veins. Since you have also comprehended the Earth Element Principle, if you wish, you may go and seek advice from Elder Zhong."

"Yes, Disciple will keep that in mind."

Qin Feng nodded but did not seem inclined to ask Zhong Duanshan for guidance immediately.

The techniques Ning Wuxu had taught him were already enough for his current use. When his cultivation improved and he had the strength to approach large Spirit Veins, even Becoming an Immortal, it would not be too late to seek guidance then.

Otherwise, asking Elder Zhong, a mighty figure in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, to teach him how to collect small Spirit Veins seemed like underusing a talent.

After leaving his master's place, Qin Feng walked towards his Cultivation Room.

However, before he could return to his room, the earth trembled, and a series of thumping noises approached, as if an Ancient Fierce Beast was rampaging across the land, marauding through the palace. If not for the protective Prohibition, many of the palace buildings would have been likely to collapse.

"What's going on?"

Qin Feng was stunned and followed the direction of the noise.

From afar, without having to reach the location, he suddenly heard an elephant-like roar that was deafening.

Then came Xue Baoshu's laughter, "Hahaha, exhilarating, Daoist Brother, take another hit from my hammer!"

As those words fell, a giant, ferocious White Bone Hammer dozens of yards in size descended out of nowhere, smashing downwards.

Below, a book ascended.

The pages of the book turned in mid-air, releasing countless characters that formed into chains of text in an effort to halt the Bone Hammer.
