Chapter 198: Secret

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Which of these martial practitioners did not belong to great powers and sects of huge territories? But to actually be left at the unstable gates of hell for half a day despite their statuses was something that caused them to be exceedingly enraged, even to the point of going against Mount Longhu!

“Everyone, it’s the mistake of my Mount Longhu this time. We’re willing to compensate everyone with another set of Qi Refinement Pellets to express our apologies.”

Danxia Zi was also not scared lightly. Who could possibly predict that the malignant star in the well would go crazy all of a sudden?

“Is there really a true devil suppressed in the Devil Expelling Well?”

Hearing Danxia Zi’s words, the crowd felt more appeased. At this point, an elderly Evolved Jing master could not help but to ask.

“This… “

Danxia Zi appeared a little hesitant as he turned to look at Pu Yang.

“It’s fine. This Devil Expelling Well was indeed built by the founder of my Mount Longhu. It borrows the power of the formation set up with the terrain of the mountain as the core, to suppress 365 devils! According to the legends, those devils are actually ferocious beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas!”

Pu Yang narrated slowly. This was the hidden history of Mount Longhu, and its truth was only passed down to every generation’s abbot. Because of this reason, there was an order that the Devil Expelling Well must never be touched or destroyed.

“Heavens! 365 devils?!”

The crowd gasped aloud with shock. That phenomenon earlier was caused by a single devil. If over 300 were to appear on earth at the same time, that would be a disaster of epic proportions!

Even Bei Feng could not contain his astonishment, despite all the things he’d seen from the Myriad Worlds. The strength of that devil definitely belonged to a creature above the realm of Xiantian! How frightening would the destructive strength of over 300 of those devils be?

On the other hand, over 300 such ferocious creatures were actually suppressed by the founder of Mount Longhu. In that case, how powerful was that founder?!

“But… what connections does the devil in the well have with the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle?”

Bei Feng mumbled to himself. While the cry sounded out from the well earlier, he could feel that the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle wing on his back become scorching hot, as though it wished to leave his body and fly away!

Seeing everyone’s expression, Pu Yang knew that the matter was being blown out of proportions. “Everyone, at the time when the esteemed founder built the formation, there were indeed 365 devils being suppressed under it. But a thousand years had passed since then, and most of the devils had already been crushed to death. Right now, there are only three devils in the well.”

Although Pu Yang had explained it in that way, the revelation was still extremely shocking. Those surviving devils were practically all thousand year old devils! Within a thousand years, kingdoms and empires had risen and fallen. The ownership of the country had changed hands multiple times, but the old devils existed still!

“Normally, those devils are very quiet, as there was no way to obtain energy in the enclosed space of the well. Any bit of energy they used would be energy wasted. Only, the blood and Qi of two Xiantian masters had seeped into the well today, waking the devils from their slumber!”

Pu Yang continued with a bitter smile. That was not the worst part. The graver news was that the grand formation had deteriorated long ago, and many of the core items needed to sustain it could no longer be found. At this rate, the grand formation would not be able to hold on for much longer.

It could at most continue working for ten more years. If the materials needed to repair the formation could not be found within that time, the thousand-year-old devils in the well would be able to break out!

This was also the main reason why Pu Yang was willing to divulge the secret to the public. At the same time, it was time for him to report the situation to the government. At worst, he would have to abandon Mount Longhu.

For the sake of preserving the lives of the countless innocent civilians in the world, the disciples of Mount Longhu were willing to give up their home! If things really reached an unsalvageable point, they would have to request for the government to use nuclear weapons!

The crowd was left in trepidation after hearing the entire story. The day had truly been an insane series of shocking events. None of them were willing to linger any longer on the mountain. They bade their farewells, collected the Qi Refinement Pellets and quickly left.

As they left, many of the Evolved Jing practitioners, as well as peers of the younger generation took one more look at Bei Feng, as though they wished to carve his image into their minds. A person who appeared mild and unperturbed by everything around him, yet was strong to the point of causing others to feel despair. No one wanted to trigger an unexpected calamity by offending him unwittingly!

After everybody had left, the name Bei Feng and his dominating deeds became a legend which spread through the entire Jiangbei martial world!

A once-in-a-century genius hailing from Japan, with a cultivation of mid stage Xiantian, easily defeated the Gao clan’s genius-rare-as-kirin son as well as Mount Longhu’s top two heaven’s chosen, Nan Yang and Qian Jun!

Just when the entire Jiangbei province’s younger generation was about to be completely trampled underfoot, a dashing sword immortal appeared out of nowhere, slaying the foreigners with a single sword and dying Demon Subduing Hall with their blood!

A majority of the people who heard this tale expressed looks of skepticism. That was surely too much of an exaggeration. That was a Xiantian master! How could someone like that be killed in one sword strike?!

Many mid- and small-scale powers disdained to listen to the story. A tale like that was probably fake, created by some cocky youngsters who wished to gain some fame.

As for those who had personally witnessed the entire thing, they instead remained silent, evading the topic and refusing to answer properly.

As for the secret which Danxia Zi revealed, not a word was spoken about it. The younger generation had been given a silencing order to prevent the news from spreading out and causing panic among the civilians.

***

Within the Taoist Master Residence, Danxia Zi was sitting cross-legged across Bei Feng, sipping on a cup of tea. Faint white smoke wafted gently above the tea pot as a refreshing and light tea fragrance filled the room.

“Truthfully, I really never expected that within the span of a few short months, you’d have already gotten ahead of me in strength. I’m afraid I’ll even have to address you as senior now.”

After a long silence, Danxia Zi finally opened his mouth and said with some envy in his tone. At the same time, he decided to drop the matters of Mount Longhu and concentrate on breaking through to Xiantian himself!

“Don’t say that, Fellow Daoist. I’ve actually come to look for you this time to seek your assistance in some matters.”

Bei Feng shook his head rapidly. Although the world of martial cultivation determined seniority based on strength, Bei Feng was not so shameless as to let someone of the older generation address him as a senior.

“Feel free to speak. My Mount Longhu is still rather influential in Jiangbei.”

Danxia Zi grew serious.

“It’s not a big matter, really. I just need your help to find three individuals. A few months ago, those disappointing subordinates of mine went missing in Lingxi Town.”

Bei Feng took out three photographs and passed them to Danxia Zi.

“Alright, I’ll inform the sect to help you look into it. In the meantime, Fellow Daoist should stay here in the Taoist Master Residence.”

Danxia Zi nodded and beckoned to a Daoist disciple standing outside the door. He gave some instructions and passed the photos to the disciple.

“Fellow Daoist, pardon my presumptuous request, but would you be willing to make a copy of the Form and Will Fist manual for our Mount Longhu? We are willing to compensate you with four Dragon Tiger Pills for it.”

Danxia Zi had a conflicted expression on his face as he asked.

“Sure.”

Bei Feng nodded and agreed.

From his perspective, there was no such thing as an invincible technique. Instead, it was the might of the practitioner which would allow one to be unbeatable. Thus, he was not afraid of people learning the technique and using it against himself.

Bei Feng took out the Form and Will Fist manual and passed it to Danxia Zi before settling down for his stay in the Taoist Master Residence.

***

A series of long, serene bell chimes sounded out as daybreak arrived. Daoist disciples awoke sleepily, rubbing their eyes as they started on their morning training.

Bei Feng also awoke naturally and was sitting in bed, loosening his joints.

Due to the number of eyes in the Temple, Bei Feng did not practice Minor Illumination Breathing Technique. Instead, he was currently walking about in a strange manner like a clumsy bear.

The seemingly clumsy movements were actually filled with agility and explosive force; every step was stable yet nimble, as though he had roots growing out of his foot!

Suddenly, a sizzling, aching feeling appeared on his back. A sensation like magma flowing through his veins appeared from his shoulder blade, seeping into his body!

“This is… the essence blood of the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle?!”

Bei Feng stopped his steps and inserted his perception into his body. The incomparably pure and concentrated blood sizzling its way through his veins actually came from the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle’s wing!

Although the amount of essence blood was pitifully little, and was not even worth a mention compared to the amount of blood and Qi in Bei Feng’s body, its purity far exceeded his own blood!

Bei Feng adjusted his mental state and wrapped his own blood and Qi around the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle’s essence blood. When he’d finally finished refining it, he could feel that his strength had improved significantly!
