Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 388 - 385 Spirit Transformation Technique Awakening the Ancient Tree

Chapter 388: Chapter 385 Spirit Transformation Technique Awakening the Ancient Tree

Gazing at the young man’s sincerely earnest face, in the end, White Crane chose to trust Qin Feng.

It believed that what Qin Feng said was not wrong—within the Beast Taming Sect’s Mountain Gate, there were countless Spiritual Beasts stronger than it. Indeed, the Sect did not lack a Demon Core mid-stage Spiritual Crane like itself.

Furthermore, a True Disciple represented the face of the Sect, and Qin Feng would not do anything that could jeopardize the Beast Taming Sect’s reputation just for his own benefit.

Since that was the case, to exchange a decade or two of service to the Qin Family for more profound Cultivation Methods and guidance from a True Disciple of a Major Sect was, from any angle, an extremely beneficial deal.

As a White Crane that had once stayed in a Cultivator Sect and had seen a fair share of the world, it naturally knew how to make the correct choice.

White Crane was already not young; otherwise, it wouldn’t have transformed into the figure of an old man. If it still wished to achieve something further in its cultivation path, agreeing to Qin Feng’s terms was clearly its only way out.

“Alright then, I hope you will keep your word.”

White Crane compromised.

Without a method to hold it in check, it didn’t trust itself not to simply fly far away as soon as it gained benefits.

“Good, those who understand the times are brilliant. When your Cultivation improves in the future, you will rejoice at today’s decision!”

Qin Feng said with a beaming smile, “Since this is settled, you should follow me now.”

“Don’t you need my help dealing with that old piece of wood in the mountain?”

White Crane said, “That thing is quite powerful. With me by your side, I can help contain some of its strength.”

It was referring to the last and most powerful one among the three Great Demons of Qifeng Mountain.

However, although that fellow was powerful, as long as it had not reached the Purple Mansion Realm, it didn’t stand a chance against Qin Feng, not even a hope of escape.

Because, it was a Tree Demon!

Its true form was an Ancient Tree that had grown for countless years, and after awakening its Spiritual Intelligence, although its internal Spiritual Power was incredibly dense due to its large form, and it could rapidly restore Spiritual Power because it was rooted in a Spirit Vein, even several cultivators of the same level might not necessarily be able to defeat it.

Yet precisely because its true form was too strong, it had trouble transforming. Even if it wouldn’t die from being uprooted from the ground, with its strong Life Force, its slow movement meant that Qin Feng could catch up to it even if it started running three days earlier.

This was also why, after openly dealing with the White Crane, he still had leisure time to bring the White Crane back to the family.

“No need.”

Qin Feng smiled, “Given that its true form is enormous and hard to move, and that it cannot run away, I can come back to subdue it after sorting out your situation.”

“You sure are confident!”

Surprise glinted in White Crane’s large eyes, “That old tree not only has a high Dao Cultivation Realm, its Spiritual Power isn’t any weaker than a Cultivator of the Purple Mansion Realm. Are you also confident in dealing with that?”

“How does that matter!”

Qin Feng looked at it indifferently, “My strength is not something you can fathom; what you’ve seen is merely a part of what I have shown.

So, as long as you serve my Qin Family well in the future, you’ll definitely reap endless benefits. Don’t let any inappropriate thoughts arise, or else…”

He didn’t finish the sentence, but he believed that White Crane wasn’t foolish and would fully comprehend on its own.

Qin Feng leapt into the air and landed on the back of the Two-Legged Flying Dragon, “Let’s go, we’re heading back now.”

He didn’t ride on the White Crane since it had a strong sense of pride. Now that he had tricked it into going back, it was enough to slowly hand it over to the Old Family Master for training; there was no need to plant the idea in its mind that it had become his Riding Tool.

White Crane spread its wings, soaring lightly beside the Two-Legged Flying Dragon, following Qin Feng as they flew out of the mountain.

It didn’t choose to flee. Since it had already agreed, it intended to fulfill its promise.

Besides, even if it wanted to run, it couldn’t outpace Qin Feng.

And it wouldn’t want to leave now when it hadn’t yet obtained the sword techniques promised by Qin Feng.

White Crane flew swiftly, Qin Feng estimated it was about fifty percent faster than the Two-Legged Flying Dragon.

The Two-Legged Flying Dragon, unwilling to show weakness, flapped its wings vigorously to fly outward. In less than half an hour, they had flown from the depths of Qifeng Mountain to the outside.

When the Qin Family members saw two massive Demon Beasts flying from behind the mountain and even hovering over the ancestral home, they were initially somewhat alarmed, but soon some among them recognized one of the beasts as the Two-Legged Flying Dragon Qin Feng had previously ridden, so they quickly calmed down. Instead, they observed the two Demon Beasts with curious eyes.

In the courtyard where the Family Head resided, within the Cultivation Room, Qin Guanbao had only been in closed-door Cultivation for two days, without even having consumed a few Elixir Pills, when he was called out by Qin Feng.

At first, he was somewhat puzzled, but when he opened the door of the cultivation room and stepped outside, he was startled to see the white crane at the mid-stage of the Demon Core Realm.

It was quite normal for the younger generation in the family not to recognize this white crane, as it had spent years in secluded cultivation deep within Qifeng Mountain, perhaps out of fear of being sought out by its former sect.

But as Qin Guanbao, the person in charge of one of the three cultivator families outside of Qifeng Mountain, he had seen this white crane from a distance several times.

And when he heard Qin Feng say that he was going to give the white crane to him as a Spiritual Beast, he nearly jumped in surprise.

This white crane possessed the strength of a mid-stage Demon Core Realm, and it had resided on Qifeng Mountain for many years even before he took charge of the family. He never imagined that there would come a time when he would have the chance to subdue such a Spiritual Crane.

“Uncle Jiuzhang,”

Qin Feng smiled, “I’ve already made a deal with it, using a few sword techniques as payment in exchange for its service to our family for a time. When your life span is exhausted, it will gain its freedom.

So, during this period, you will be in charge of all its affairs. First, you need to condense a Binding Spell and implant it deep into its Sea of Consciousness. Don’t worry, it will actively cooperate and there won’t be any backlash.”

“Hmm?”

Qin Guanbao, cunning and shrewd, immediately understood what Qin Feng was planning.

His route to advance to the Golden Core was all planned by Qin Feng, who certainly knew his situation.

As long as he advanced to Golden Core, his lifespan would greatly increase. It would be at least several hundred years before his life span was exhausted. If he could advance even further in the future, perhaps the white crane might not gain its freedom even when its own life was coming to an end.

He glanced at Qin Feng and realized this kid was no good either, actually deceiving the white crane in such a way.

But, who cares?

Being able to so easily gain the loyalty of a white crane in the Demon Core Realm, he wasn’t foolish enough to push it away.

At the same time, he felt a bit of pressure.

It seemed he really needed to give his all to advancing to Golden Core.

Otherwise, if he let the white crane leave with its benefits after just ten or twenty years, his family would really be at a loss!

Qin Guanbao also felt somewhat moved. This kid, Qin Feng, had brought back such a powerful Demon Beast and didn’t give it to his father, Qin Long, but thought of him first, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.

But, embarrassed or not, his actions didn’t show the slightest hesitation as he immediately began to manipulate the spell, activating his Divine Sense and channeling Spiritual Power to condense the Binding Spell.

A moment later, after the white crane had completely let down its Divine Sense defenses and under Qin Feng’s oversight, it was confirmed that the old family master had implanted the Binding Spell deep within the white crane’s Sea of Consciousness, taking control of its life. Only then did he feel at ease.

“Uncle Jiuzhang, you arrange things for the white crane. I need to make another trip to the back mountain,” Qin Feng said with a smile.

“I’ve found a Red Copper Vein in the back mountain. Once I deal with the Tree Demon in the mountains, I will send a message to the sect and ask for a few disciples who are skilled in exploring veins to come and assess it. They will also help us plan how to mine it.”

“What, you really found a vein?” Qin Guanbao was both delighted and astonished upon hearing this, “Does that mean our old Qin Family is truly going to prosper? How big is this vein? Can our family handle it? Will it not attract trouble?”

“Don’t worry, I will take care of everything before I return to the sect,” Qin Feng assured with a cheerful voice, then stood up, “Uncle Jiuzhang, have a chat with the white crane. I’ll be on my way.”

“Oh, alright, go ahead. Just leave the white crane to me,”

Qin Guanbao understood the subtext in Qin Feng’s words; he was being warned to prepare himself mentally. He shouldn’t, after advancing to Golden Core, let the white crane feel cheated and act rashly if it couldn’t accept the situation.

From their earlier interaction, he realized that although the white crane had lived a long time, its personality was slightly extreme. With his cunning, now that he had control over the white crane’s life and death, he had plenty of ways to make it willingly submit to him.

That was exactly why Qin Feng had chosen to bring the white crane back and entrust it to the old family master.

Otherwise, if he had given it to his father, it wouldn’t have been ideal.

After all, Qin Long had an upright character which was not as slick, and in this regard, he couldn’t compare with the old family master.

…

In the Huang Family residence to the north of the city.

In the living room, several sword cultivators from Taiyi Mountain had gathered again.

He Jiuzhang, sitting above, frowned and looked in the direction of the Qin Family, wondering, “What is Qin Feng up to? When he left before, wasn’t he riding just one Spiritual Beast? So how comes he is returning with two this time?”

“If it weren’t for the fact that there was no one on that White Crane, I would have thought that a high-level cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect had been sent to protect Master upon his arrival.”

“Do you think that White Crane could be the Riding Tool of an Elder from the Beast Taming Sect, and that more Elders might arrive later?”

Huang Yulang shook his head and said, “Senior Brother He, rest assured, that White Crane is not a Spiritual Beast from the Beast Taming Sect.”

“Why do you say that, Junior Brother Huang?”

He Jiuzhang looked at Huang Yulang with some surprise, “Could it be that your Huang Family’s spies have unearthed some insider information so quickly?”

“Not quite.”

Huang Yulang let out a wry smile and said, “How could the few servants we’ve placed within the Qin Family find out such important news?

The reason I say this is because I know that White Crane; it is one of the three Demon Core Realm Demon Beasts from the depths of Qifeng Mountain.”

“Hm?”

Upon hearing this, He Jiuzhang immediately understood, “So, you’re saying that the White Crane is a Spiritual Beast previously subdued by Qin Feng in the depths of Qifeng Mountain.

I didn’t expect Qin Feng’s strength to have reached such a level. He hasn’t been at Qifeng Mountain for even half a day, yet he managed to tame a Spiritual Crane of the Demon Core Realm. It seems we have underestimated his capabilities.”

“You speak truly, Senior Brother.”

Huang Yulang suggested, “In my view, Senior Brother should immediately send a message to Master, informing her of these matters so she will be aware, lest she faces an ambush by a number of Spiritual Beasts unleashed by Qin Feng during their fight. Even if Master has profound cultivation and ultimately wins, I fear she may not be able to injure Qin Feng!

If Qin Feng has tamed more Spiritual Beasts, it might even pose a danger to Master.”

“Right, I will send a message back immediately so that Master can make further preparations and avoid any mistimed mistakes.”

Without delay, He Jiuzhang took out a Long-Distance Sound Transmission Talisman and reported their discovery.

…

Qin Feng came to the depths of Qifeng Mountain once again, flying straight towards the only place within the mountains that still possessed a strong presence.

It was a valley spanning several miles, lush and teeming with greenery and dense vegetation.

At the very depths of this forest, near the rocky cliffs, grew an immensely tall willow tree, its thick trunk covered in mottled scars that conveyed a sense of resilience and ancient ruggedness. However, thousands of green branches hung from the treetop, hinting at endless vitality.

As Qin Feng rode the Two-Legged Flying Dragon into the valley, the hefty trunk twisted, eventually forming an ancient face.

The face, with its eyes shining a turquoise light, stared at Qin Feng for a while before speaking in a distinctively slow tone, “Young man, I had already felt you subdue the pangolin and the White Crane earlier. What, do you intend to subdue me as well?”

“Indeed.”

Qin Feng nodded and said, “My Qin Family wishes to occupy Qifeng Mountain, and you occupy the largest Spirit Vein within this mountain, so I had to come.”

“I can feel the immense power contained within you; those two Demon Beasts were indeed no match for you.”

Its Divine Sense was also exceptionally strong, sensing that the power in Qin Feng’s physical body far surpassed that of Golden Core Cultivation.

“However, I have lived here for countless years, my accumulated power is certainly not something you can compare with.”

The willow tree shook its branches, and immediately countless branches began to sway, as if shaking its head, “You should leave, I have no intention to harm others, nor do I wish to harm you.”

“Harm me? You’re not capable of that.”

Qin Feng let out a faint sigh, then continued, “We have had no grudges in the past nor recent disputes. I would prefer not to fight you.

But how can one allow others to sleep soundly by the side of their couch?

Since my Qin Family intends to take over Qifeng Mountain, we naturally cannot allow the presence of such a powerful entity without any control.

Otherwise, if conflict arises between you and my family one day, with your strength, you could easily slaughter many of my kin. Therefore, I must engage you in a fight.”

“Are you saying that because I cannot easily move, you think you can defeat me?”

The ancient face on the willow tree carried a hint of a smile, “There have been others like you in the past, but in the end, they all turned back.”

“I am different from them.”

Qin Feng smiled as well, “So, please don’t compare me to those fellows from the past.”

“Oh, then I would indeed like to see what abilities you possess.”

The willow tree looked at Qin Feng and said, “If you really have the ability and can defeat me, then submitting to you wouldn’t be a problem.”

“Hehe, you should have said that earlier!”

With that, Qin Feng waved his hand and immediately summoned the White Dragon and the Ghost-Faced Spider, two spiritual beasts from the Purple Mansion Realm.

“Aow…”

The White Dragon let out a soft chant.

Although Qin Feng had conveyed through his spirit that she should not unleash her full dragon power to prevent causing a riot among the Demon Beasts in the mountains, lest they run out and bring disaster to the people outside the mountain.

Nevertheless, even though the White Dragon kept her dragon power within a certain range, it still made the willow tree’s spirit tremble.

“Ssss…”

On the other side, the Ghost-Faced Spider, which was as large as a house, stretched its eight long legs and quickly climbed up the cliff, securing its body halfway up the mountain. A layer of pitch-black flame on its body emitted endless malice, causing even greater trepidation in the willow tree.

The White Dragon was somewhat better because it had cultivated light element power and bore a sense of sanctity.

However, the Ghost-Faced Spider was terrifying, with an aura as if it were a Hell Demon God, and the pitch-black flames coiling around it seemed to drag its soul into Abyss Purgatory to burn for ten thousand years, instilling fear in those who saw it.

“So, do you still want to witness my strength?”

Qin Feng said with a grin.

“You…”

The willow tree was stunned for a moment before helplessly saying, “With such powerful aides at your side, how could I possibly be your opponent?”

“I can’t help it; I am a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect.”

Qin Feng said, “You’ve remained in the mountains for years, and I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of the Beast Taming Sect, but whether you’ve heard of us or not doesn’t matter. You only need to know that we count our spiritual beasts as part of our own strength.”

“Beast Taming Sect? Although I know little, I have heard of your reputation from other members of the Demon Clan.”

The willow tree helplessly shook its branches all over: “All right, all right, I submit to you.

However, you must understand one thing. I am an ancient tree spirit. Because of my large body, I cannot transform, and I am not good at moving. Even though I submit to you, unless you have a way to carry me with you, I cannot fight for you like other spiritual beasts.”

“No problem.”

Qin Feng hadn’t expected this ancient tree to be so easygoing, barely revealing two spiritual beasts before this fellow surrendered without a fight.

He said, “I don’t need you to fight for me on a regular basis. In fact, I don’t even intend to take you away from Qifeng Mountain. I can let you stay here and cultivate peacefully. All I need is for you to help out in times of danger for the Qin Family.

Moreover, I am also skilled in a Spirit Transformation Technique that can allow plants and trees to transform.

Not to become human, but to have a form of a treeman that can walk on the ground without issue, able to take root and revert to tree form when settling down.

Although you won’t be very fast, at least you can ensure that you can move around freely. As long as you don’t leave Qifeng Mountain, you can take root wherever you like.”

“What a wonderful benefit, why didn’t you say so earlier!”

The willow tree said somewhat excitedly, “For me, since I can’t leave this place, if you’re willing to move your family here, it would bring much liveliness to the area. Why wouldn’t I agree? In fact, I could even take the initiative to protect your people from harm.

You’re even skilled in transforming spirits, which is excellent. If you had told me earlier about this ability, I would have submitted to you directly.”

“Uh…”

Qin Feng was dumbfounded by the ancient tree’s words, feeling as if he had exerted himself for nothing previously.

“Hehe…”

Seeing his stupor, the willow tree laughed and said, “You don’t know, but I’ve lived here alone for countless years, hardly ever having any living being to communicate with. If it wasn’t for the need to draw from the spirit vein below for cultivation, I would have moved elsewhere long ago.”

“Alright.”

Qin Feng said, “Now, extract your main body from the ground. I need to subdue you first and then apply the Spirit Transformation Technique, turning you into a tree person who can walk freely!”
