Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 656 - 651: Two Great Powers Encounter Again on the Expedition
Chapter 656 -651: Two Great Powers Encounter Again on the Expedition
Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen had altered their appearances, and then the Spirit Turtle performed a secret technique inherited through its bloodline, temporarily disguising their Qi Fortune, making them indistinguishable from ordinary Qi Refining Disciples. Unless someone probed their bodies with Divine Sense, their outward appearances were convincing enough to deceive anyone.
Each of them stood atop a Flying Sword several feet long, riding along with the squadron of Sword Cultivators as they advanced.
It must be said that Sword Cultivators truly have their unique advantages. Not only are they formidable in combat with sharp and fierce attacks, but they are also among the few who can control swords for flight even in the Qi Refining Realm.
Although the so-called Sword Controlling Flight of Qi Refining Sword Cultivators mainly relied on the power of the Spiritual Artifact level Flying Swords, being able to fly was already quite impressive.
After all, flight itself brought great convenience to Cultivators, and being able to hitch a ride on the light of a large group of Sword Cultivators’ swords for flight, much like geese flying in formation, was very energy-efficient and not slow.
Aside from Sword Cultivators, only Beast Taming Sect’s Qi Refining Disciples with flying Riding Tools, and a few Artifact Cultivators, Talisman Cultivators, or those with rare Flying Treasures, could traverse the skies; all other Qi Refining Cultivators needed to rely on Sect’s Flying Magical Treasures or rely on Divine Movement Techniques on land.
Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen, far surpassing the leading Purple Mansion Elders, managed this action without arousing any suspicion. Even if someone inadvertently turned their head back, they would be tricked by the Illusion Technique Qin Feng cast.
Although Qin Feng had advanced to Dharma Image before he could find the Mirage Dragon to integrate it with the Ruyi Golden Snake due to his rapid advancement in Cultivation, many of the Spiritual Beasts he had integrated into the Ruyi Golden Snake knew some Illusion Techniques. Though not as prominent as their Lifebound Skills, his current Dao Cultivation was more than sufficient to deceive these ordinary Small Cultivators.
The duo continued with the group, and in no time, they arrived at the city gates, following the lead of the Purple Mansion Elders to land and line up to enter the city.
While waiting outside the city, Qin Feng’s ears twitched, and he soon overheard the conversation of the Cultivators ahead, which explained why this city was so bustling.
It turned out that after the Five Domains trial ended, Biluo’s Great Powers gained considerable insight into those five High Rank worlds and soon initiated a war to conquer the Five Realms.
Apart from the Nordic God Realm, which opted for a cunning approach to instigate internal strife between the Divine Clan and Giants due to their detailed understanding, the rest of the High Rank worlds were subjected to brute force attacks.
Among these High Rank worlds, Ghost Ancestor Cang Yang took interest in one and planned to refine its Netherworld and relocate it to serve as the Netherworld of Biluo.
Thus, the Ten Directions Ghost City acted as the vanguard, leading countless Cultivators into that High Rank world.
Under the aggressive assault of the Ten Directions Ghost City, they soon established a foothold in that High Rank world and controlled a world node to set up a Teleportation Array.
Once the Teleportation Array was in place, Ten Directions Ghost City immediately called for contributions from Sects large and small in the Northern Domain to jointly conquer that world.
And the group Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen had infiltrated belonged to a smaller Sect, gathering here with Cultivators from nearby Sects to enter the Exotic Realm World through the Teleportation Array under the reception of Ten Directions Ghost City!
Upon hearing this news, both Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen were somewhat dumbfounded.
They hadn’t expected that this supposed way out was actually hiding in an Exotic Realm World!
Indeed, if they really went to another world, those wandering Cultivators would naturally be unable to find them. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
But what they might encounter in the Exotic Realm World was another matter.
After all, it was a High Rank world filled with countless formidable beings, and given that it was an expedition period without the protection of Sect Elders, it was uncertain whether they would escape any calamity they faced!
So they were somewhat apprehensive.
However, if they chose not to go, it would not be easy for them to withdraw at this moment. Otherwise, not only would it be questionable whether they could evade the many Cultivators seeking them, but the powerful beings near the city gate could immediately notice them. If they were mistaken for Demon Cultivators trying to infiltrate the expedition and were executed on the spot, that would indeed be disastrous!
Just as they hesitated, the Purple Mansion Elder ahead had already finished negotiating with the gatekeepers and led the team to start entering the city.
At this point, they had no choice but to follow the team nervously.
At the city gate, several Primordial Spirit Cultivators swept their gazes over the team but didn’t pay them any heed.
After all, these low-level Small Cultivators were somewhat unremarkable and hardly worthy of much attention.
In fact, they were all from different Sects assigned to guard the gate to prevent Demon Cultivators from sneaking into the expedition team. After all, it wasn’t realistic to expect the guarding Immortal to always keep their Spiritual Eye open to detect any abnormality among approaching Cultivators.
As for searching for Qin Feng to seize the Beiming Immortal Mansion, that was just an additional task.
This was something all the Markets and cities in the nearby area were doing. Even though they didn’t really believe Qin Feng would dare enter the city at this time, they still had to go through the motions.
A middle-aged Immortal, looking indifferent, sat above the city gate with his eyes seemingly closed, yet barely open.
Extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures. Normally, there was no need for an Immortal to be here, but now, during this critical moment of gathering Cultivators for the expedition, having such an Immortal stationed here served to deter the unscrupulous!
However, immortals were ultimately Immortals. Whether among the Major Sects or other powers, they were considered capable of standing on their own and weren’t expected to handle everything in person. If everything required an Immortal’s involvement, then what would be left for other Cultivators to do?
Thus, nominally, he was stationed here to serve as a deterrent, but in reality, he hardly managed the specifics of any situation.
But just as Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen were about to enter the city gate, the Immortal suddenly opened his eyes.
The middle-aged Immortal’s gaze swept down over the crowd, encountering eyes filled with either flattery or reverence. All Cultivators lowered their heads respectfully when they saw his gaze sweeping over.
Even a defiant Qi Refining Small Cultivator at the end of the line lowered his head obediently under his gaze.
Clearly, even if this Small Cultivator was proud at heart, he knew the gap between his Cultivation and the Immortal’s was vast, so he dared not meet the Immortal’s eyes.
However…
He always felt that something was amiss.
The Immortal stood up and glanced back and forth across the team a few times, as if nothing abnormal was visible.
Could he have perceived wrongly?
He shook his head.
As an existence at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm, he trusted his intuition immensely. Since something felt off, he decided to investigate thoroughly to avoid any mishaps later!
With that thought, his gaze swept across the crowd several times and finally settled on Qin Feng.
To be precise, on Qin Feng’s hands.
Although his hand was hanging under the sleeve, the Immortal could see through the covering of the cloth that he was holding a tiny turtle in his hand.
The Spirit Turtle did not seem to have any unique features. Although Sword Cultivators mainly focus on Sword Controlling, not all of them are rigid; some also use other external objects or keep Spiritual Beasts to assist in combat. It was not unusual for a Qi Refining Realm Small Cultivator to raise a Spirit Turtle.
What truly caught his attention about the Spirit Turtle was the sudden realization when he saw the tiny Spirit Turtle sneakily glancing at him.
An ordinary Qi Refining Realm Spirit Turtle should not possess such lively eyes, not to mention the runes on the turtle’s shell seemed somewhat extraordinary!
The Immortal’s eyebrows raised slightly as he was about to send his Divine Sense into the Spirit Turtle’s body, but suddenly, his expression stalled, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, bowing in respect.
In the distance, two figures with inscrutable auras were slowly flying toward them.
“Greetings, City Lord!”
The Immortal respectfully saluted one of the lanky figures.
“Um!”
That person nodded indifferently and gestured with his hand to the figure beside him, “Daoist Fellow, please!”
“White Bone Daoist Fellow is too courteous; after you!”
As they spoke, they bypassed the city gate and flew directly towards the White Bone Castle situated above the City Lord Mansion.
“Eh?”
Below them, Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen heard that voice, suddenly looked up, and immediately recognized a familiar figure.
“Is that… Gui Ling Master?”
The two exchanged a glance, each seeing a hint of joy in the other’s eyes.
Even without seeing Gui Ling Ancestor’s face, they recognized him instantly just by his silhouette!
“Has the Ancestor come to rescue us?”
This thought sprang up immediately in their minds.
However, Gui Ling Ancestor showed no signs of turning around; it was as if he hadn’t noticed them below.
Could it be that they were hiding too well, that the secret technique of Qi Fortune transformation by the Spirit Turtle was too powerful, and that Gui Ling Ancestor had never considered they might hide among a group of Sword Cultivators, hence he didn’t notice them?
Perhaps, that might be possible!
Just as the two were about to call out, they realized Gui Ling Ancestor’s figure had already disappeared.
“What… should we do?”
The two looked at each other. If Gui Ling Ancestor had already entered the mansion or a Grotto Heaven, with powerful Array Formation Restrictions blocking the way, even if they yelled until their throats were broken, it was doubtful that Gui Ling Ancestor would hear them.
“Alas…”
Qin Feng sighed softly and motioned to Li Miaozhen not to be distracted, continuing onward with the team.
Meanwhile, the Immortal above the city gate had also shifted his gaze away, quietly sitting back down.
Perhaps because he felt with two Immortal Realm Great Powers stationed in the city, there would absolutely be no bold demons daring to deliver themselves to their death, and thus he did not continue his investigation.
He didn’t believe a Qi Refining Realm Small Cultivator’s subdued Demon Beast could be powerful enough to matter, and it wasn’t necessary to make himself jumpy with panic – it simply wasn’t fitting for someone at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
Or was it because he was about to break through to the Profound Immortal realm, which made his Divine Sense particularly active as if he was on the verge of “Entering Dao” whenever he noticed anything unique?
The middle-aged Immortal shook his head and slowly closed his eyes, no longer dwelling on it.
Below, Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen had already entered the city.
Due to the large number of teams entering the city today, to avoid troubles, the main street of the city was aside from patrolling cultivators from the City Lord Mansion maintaining order, devoid of others. Even the shops on both sides of the street were unusually quiet today, making it impossible for the two to take the opportunity to slip away!
