Chapter 299: Chapter 297: The First Immortal Emperor
Xu Feng looked somewhat shocked. He had seen unbelievable things before, but this situation was indeed unexpected.
"Xiong Dao, the Immortal Emperor, had a stroke of serendipity by accidentally consuming an Innate Great Spirit Root, and since then his talent has defied the heavens, skyrocketing in his cultivation," explained Sheng Yu beside him.
"Indeed, the first Immortal Emperor of the Human Clan," Xu Feng handed Xiong Dao three Resurrection Holy Pills.
"Continue to cultivate diligently, beyond the Immortal Emperor lies the Second Realm," Xu Feng encouraged.
In the Underground Secret Realm by the Underground Sea,
Xu Feng, while taking a stroll, contemplated the Alchemy Divine Scripture, with Sheng Yu following silently beside him.
"Speak your mind, don’t hold back," Xu Feng said with a slight chuckle, noticing his disciple’s hesitation.
"Master, I dreamed of a door recently."
"That door separated me from the master, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t breach it," Sheng Yu said thoughtfully.
"That door is known as the Reincarnation Gate, situated at the pinnacle of the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World."
"The only way to break through this gate is by amassing a significant amount of Hongmeng Qi."
"I am currently seeking it, and will open the gate for you," Xu Feng patted Sheng Yu on the shoulder.
"With you around, the Human Clan is bound to rise."
"By the time you unify the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World, I should be able to open that gate."
"Then, let the two sides of the Human Clan merge into one and share in the prosperous times," Xu Feng looked up at the sky of the Underground Secret Realm as he spoke.
"Master, that day will definitely come."
In the Endless Sea, light-years away from the Human Clan’s coastline.
A massive beast slowly surfaced, its eyes cautiously fixed on the direction of the Human Clan.
"I didn’t expect the Saint Master of Taichu Sacred Land to have returned as well. The Human Clan is now even more formidable; it’s better to keep a distance."
Just as the giant beast was about to leave, a ripple of space emerged above the sea.
A pale-blue Taixu Qilin appeared in the sky, engulfed in blue flames, its gaze deep as it stared down at the giant beast.
Their eyes met, and Di Yan felt that this Divine Beast’s strength was not weaker than his own, and its presence felt somewhat familiar.
However, the Taixu Qilin seemed puzzled, sensing the thick hostility towards the Human Clan from the giant beast below.
Yet this area was already beyond the Human Clan Territory, making the Taixu Qilin wonder if it should notify its master.
"Just passing by, no other intentions..." Di Yan said, preparing to leave.
But at that moment, the Taixu Qilin directly opened a teleportation gate.
Wangan stepped out from it, looking puzzled.
"Calling me here for what..."
He didn’t finish his sentence before he sensed a very familiar aura.
"Di Yan!!!"
"So you’re not dead!"
"Come on, brothers, today we shall have a delightful battle!"
"Taixu, help me lock this down!"
Instantly, the Taixu Qilin sealed off the region for several light-years.
"Wangan, the Human Clan Origin Realm has been annihilated; my feud with your clan is also settled," said Di Yan, trying to forcefully break through the space and leave, only to find the surrounding space tightly sealed and extremely firm.
"The feud with your clan might be concluded, but ours is not!"
"During those tens of thousands of years when I suppressed you, you didn’t stop cursing me."
"Two choices: get beaten to death by me, or become my mount."
"After hundreds of thousands of years of kindness and grudges, it all comes to nothing in the end. Come and be my mount; I’ll treat you as a brother," Wangan looked at Di Yan, eyes filled with memories.
"To treat me as a brother, yet want me to become your mount, wishful thinking!"
Di Yan immediately leaped out from the Endless Sea, revealing his massive body, and set his grim gaze on Wan Gang.
"With this strength of mine, which clan wouldn’t welcome me with open arms and let me enjoy all luxuries, let alone have me be your beast tamer."
Di Yan said, his single horn emanating a faint glow as he fiercely collided with the Void.
However, all it caused was spatial ripples at the point of impact, without even a single crack forming.
The Taixu Qilin, watching the scene from afar, let out a soft chuckle.
"Seems like you’ve chosen to be beaten to death by me, Taixu."
Though these two, man and beast, had only cooperated once, their collaboration was exceptionally in sync.
Appearing like a God Demon, the Body Refining Dharma Form emerged, and upon those fists, Taixu Qilin added the force of Shattered Space.
"Di Yan, come on!"
"Let me see if your armor is still as thick as before!"
Feeling the imposing force of Shattered Space emanating from Wan Gang’s Dharma Form fists, Di Yan had an ominous premonition.
Just as he felt he was becoming a trapped beast, he suddenly thrust the Nether Green Giant Spear out of the Void.
A tiny crack appeared as the space got sealed off, and Di Yan seized the opportunity to make a high-speed escape.
Over the vast, boundless surface of the Endless Sea, Wan Gang looked toward Taixu Qilin.
"Innate Treasure, corroding the space with extreme poison, instantly breaking the seal," Taixu Qilin explained. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
"Then let’s hurry up and chase!"
"The intense poison has blurred the space, we can no longer trace the path." Taixu Qilin stood up, his gaze deeply fixed on the distance.
"Did I mess this up..."
"No, to catch Di Yan, Old Qing Xu and I need to work together."
"Things in this world are full of changes and uncertainties, who could have expected this," Wan Gang waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Send me back to Heavenly Steel Immortal Sect, I still have lessons to give those kids."
"Alright."
Meanwhile, Xu Feng, having left the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World, purchased a batch of Divine Medicine and Divine Materials from the city of Heavenly Mechanism, and then began to refine Resurrection Holy Pills and Second Realm Body Refinement Holy Pills.
In the Alchemy Realm, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle continuously transmitted its Origin Power to Xu Feng.
Half a month later, Xu Feng earned over five thousand Hongmeng Purple Coins.
"Earning a living through skills is great, but selling lessons is even better."
"How come the bait is all scattered, yet no fish have bitten."
Xu Feng glanced at the transaction interface of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan Communication Immortal Device, and took out a Holy Pill to replenish his vitality.
Although Origin Power and immortal power can be replenished by Holy Pills, the deep-seated sense of weakness from long periods of alchemy cannot be easily remedied by ordinary Holy Pills.
"It seems I need to find time to cultivate exclusively; with such a low realm, alchemy isn’t satisfying," Xu Feng mused aloud.
Just then, Taixu Qilin stepped out of the Void, looking dejected.
"What’s wrong? Lost to Xiao Jin in chess?" Xu Feng asked curiously.
"Found a Second Realm giant beast outside the Human Clan Territory with hostility towards the Human Clan."
"We had already sealed the space, but that giant beast still managed to escape," Taixu Qilin placed himself next to Xu Feng like a little dog lying down.
"That’s a shame, but no worries, in some time I’ll add a few more brothers for you; then, when you move in groups, you won’t have to worry about enemies escaping."
Xu Feng contemplated his artisan’s income, realizing that in ten years’ time he could afford another Second Realm Divine Beast.
"Okay," Taixu Qilin nodded.
"Young Master, a visitor has arrived, Chen Jugen," the butler transmitted.
"Let him come over."
Before long, a man with hollow eyes and an unsteady walk appeared.
"You’ve reached the Golden Immortal Realm and you’re still so frail?" Xu Feng exclaimed in surprise.
