Chapter 6057: The Qilin Awakens, Rank Nine Half-God
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 Clan’s Clan Chief didn’t 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 God’s Era.
“Little Feng, are you heading to the Totem Dragon Clan again?” a voice Chu Feng had been expecting for a long time finally sounded.
“Qilin Pig, you’re finally awake!” Chu Feng opened his eyes in delight.
The one who had just spoken was the Heaven-devouring Qilin!
“Watch your language! What Qilin Pig? Call me Grandpa Qilin!” the Heaven-devouring Qilin bellowed.
“Cut the crap. Why did it take you so long to assimilate the dragon essence? More importantly, did you succeed?” Chu Feng asked.
“Good news, Little Feng. The dragon essence inside the ancestral dragon’s remains was stronger than I anticipated. I suspect that it might be the remains of a true dragon, or else it wouldn’t have taken me so long to assimilate the dragon essence.”
“Let’s get straight to the main point. You said that you’ll help me achieve a breakthrough once you’re done with your assimilation. Are you able to do it or not?” Chu Feng asked.
“Of course! Sit well. I’ll show you my prowess!”
An intense surge of natural energies gushed from the Heaven-devouring Qilin’s imprint into Chu Feng’s 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 didn’t 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 Feng’s movements.
The crowd instinctively looked toward Chu Feng’s room.
“Is young friend Chu Feng about to make a breakthrough?”
The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief and the others were overjoyed.
As the nine-colored lightning zapped down and seeped into his body, Chu Feng’s cultivation rose to rank nine Half-God level. However, he wasn’t satisfied with the outcome.
“Qilin Pig, this isn’t what you have promised.”
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.
“What do you mean by that?” the Heaven-devouring Qilin asked in confusion.
“You said that you’d 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.
“I shan’t be so greedy as to ask for a breakthrough of three cultivation ranks, but shouldn’t you at least help me advance two ranks to True God level?” Chu Feng asked.
“Little Feng, where’s 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!
“Not 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!
“Had it been anyone else, no matter how much dragon essence they assimilate, there’s no way they will be able to help you advance from rank eight Half-God to rank nine Half-God in a breath!
“However, you don’t have to worry. Aren’t we going to the Totem Dragon Clan now? This is an opportunity for you to grab more treasures from the ancestral dragon’s remnants. Give me more things to assimilate, and I guarantee that you’ll make a breakthrough to True God level!” the Heaven-devouring Qilin said.
“How do you know I’m heading to the ancestral dragon’s forbidden land? Were you awake all this while?” Chu Feng asked.
“I 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.
“Little Feng, I am serious when I say this, but that grandfather of yours is not as simple as he seems. You aren’t a match for him, especially not in your current state. If you want to deal with him, you can’t miss any chance to advance your cultivation. This trip to the ancestral dragon’s forbidden land is an opportunity for you,” the Heaven-devouring Qilin said.
“That’s enough of you. That ancestral dragon’s remnant is my brother’s ancestor. I wasn’t able to do anything about it the last time as Long Lin stuffed the dragon essence into me, but there’s no way I’ll desecrate my brother’s ancestor to raise my cultivation. No matter how heinous I am, there are still principles I adhere to,” Chu Feng said.
“That’s fine. I can do it on your behalf if you harbor reservations. Just bring me there, and I’ll show you my moves,” the Heaven-devouring Qilin said.
“Shut up.” 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 wouldn’t 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 Clan’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t feel conscience-stricken receiving compensation from them.
Besides, Chu Feng’s 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 Clan’s Clan Chief and the others arrived at the realm where the ancestral dragon’s remains were located. The first thing they did was to secure a hiding spot and camp there.
While this realm’s 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 dragon’s remains lay.
The Totem Dragon Clan’s 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 Clan’s Clan Chief fell for it too. He clutched his dantian with both hands with a distorted face.
“This isn’t good.”
Chu Feng and the others realized that something was amiss. This could be a means to deal with Totem Dragon Clansmen. They hadn’t figured out how it worked yet, but clearly, they had fallen for the enemy’s ploy.
