Chapter 390: Fog
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Tan Xiao exhaled a breath of cold air. With a three-headed beast standing snarling fiercely at him, it would be a lie if he said he wasn’t scared.
The pressure emitted by this beast was simply too strong. Even the peak level Xiantian Lords he’d met before did not compare to this beast!
“Hou!”
The Cerberus roared once more, causing the leaves on the trees nearby to rustle. Seeing that Mystic One was here, it turned around and walked away with large steps, quickly disappearing from sight.
The Cerberus was an extremely proud creature, and was unwilling to interact with humans. Since they were both humans, it decided to just let Mystic One handle the issue.
A cold light flashed across Mystic One’s foxy-looking eyes as she stared at the person before her.
“This one is a person sent by the Martial Practitioners Control Department, I have important news to pass onto Lord Bei Feng.”
Tan Xiao’s stance was lowered greatly. Not mentioning Bei Feng’s strength as a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert, just that Demonic Beast earlier was enough to cow his guts.
There were large differences in power between Xiantian Lords. Just the difference between each level in the Xiantian realm was already quite large. Those who could fight across levels in the Xiantian realm were all existences with unique talents.
Mystic One calmed her anger and said, “En, come with me.”
Mystic One still understood how to distinguish what was important. At the same time, she did not attempt to pry into the important matter as well.
Tan Xian followed behind Mystic One quietly, feeling slightly shocked in his heart. ‘As expected of a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert, all the people around him are not ordinary!’
At this time, Bei Feng had also returned with Bai Xiang from the back mountain. But before he even entered the villa, a strange expression came over his face.
“Boss, you’re back. This person says he’s from the Martial Practitioners Control Department, and he says he has a confidential message for you,” Mystic One reported respectfully.
“En, I got it, you may leave.”
Bei Feng’s face was impassive. Before he’d even stepped into the villa, he’d already detected the presence of the stranger.
“This one greets Lord Bei Feng, this is the confidential letter that the President asked me to bring over.”
Tan Xiao did not dare to be slow. Although he was older than Bei Feng, Bei Feng was definitely worthy of such respect in the martial world.
“Hm?
Bei Feng felt some shock in his heart. The worldwide operation was something that had been set by the Martial Practitioners Control Department. The strength of the President of the Martial Practitioners Control Department was also extremely strong. To send a person to deliver a confidential letter, could it be…
“Your subordinate bids his farewell.”
Tan Xiao stood up and bowed again. Bei Feng was currently an Honorary Vice President of the Martial Practitioners Control Department, so there was nothing wrong with calling himself a subordinate of Bei Feng. After that, he hurriedly left the villa.
“As expected, is it beginning already? But to start so early, aren’t they afraid that those people will hide themselves?” Bei Feng mumbled to himself as he finished reading the letter. With a move of his inner Qi, the letter was torn into dust in an instant.
“Bai Xiang, there’s work to do!”
Bei Feng walked out of the villa and looked at Bai Xiang who was staring at the Cerberus.
Bai Xiang scratched the back of his head absentmindedly and said, “Hm? What work?
Although he’d seen the Cerberus a few times already, he still couldn’t figure out how that fellow’s heads all came to be connected.
“Very ugly indeed. I still think that Insatiable and Black Hole are much cuter,” Bai Xiang murmured as he listened to Bei Feng.
“Woof!”
Indigestion barked with rage. Since that shorty dared to call it ugly, it had to fight it out with him today!
Insatiable and Black Hole also barked with delight when they saw Bai Xiang. With regards to this little human, they still had some impression of him.
Dogs had exceptional memory: once they spent some time with a person, they would still recognize them even if they haven’t seen that person for years!
At this time, the two little fellows were fighting to hold Indigestion back, while the latter was growling and snarling, wishing to teach Bai Xiang a lesson for calling it ugly.
“Stop playing, go to the side and chew on your bone.”
Bei Feng looked at the Cerberus with exasperation and scolded it lightly.
“Wu, wu~”
Insatiable and Black Hole quickly took over the body and scampered away with a whimper.
“So that’s the case…I understand now.”
Bai Xiang nodded excitedly as a desire to fight appeared in his eyes.
“I’ll bring the Mystics back later on, and we’ll begin the day after. Not a single person must be let off.”
Bei Feng nodded his head and left.
Bai Xiang’s face turned solemn as he looked at the sky in silence.
The old man had already told him about the huge operation in the martial world long ago, so he naturally understood what a major deal this was.
Right now, Xiantian Lords were only tiny pawns in this huge game of chess.
The Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were the main force, and they had the strongest battle power. The controllers of the chess game were the countries behind them.
If one side had more Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, they had the ability to flip the chessboard over completely.
For now, the large counties were simply waiting on the sidelines, not moving.
Two days passed, and Mystic Two and the rest had all rushed back. None of them had any objections to being led by Bai Xiang.
Bei Feng also woke up from his meditation and opened his eyes.
“It’s still not possible…”
Bei Feng spat out a breath of air. This meditation technique was something he’d received from Mount Longhu after forming an alliance with them.
Meditation techniques were a type of mental power training technique. It came from the second generation Heavenly Masters, and allowed one to train all kinds of strange abilities.
The greatest effect of training with a meditation technique was that one could rid themselves of their heart demons and align their hearts and mind, allowing them to flow with each other.
Bei Feng treated this like a treasure, and would study it whenever he had the chance.
The meditation technique was divided into four layers. The first was quieting down the heart.
Once one achieved this realm, they would have great control over their emotions, and would not be easily moved by external things.
The second layer was the meditative state. People in this realm could enter into a state of emptiness, and their minds and thoughts would work at a much stronger level than usual!
The third layer was the focused spirit! Breaking away from mortality and entering the spiritual, one’s mind could process countless thoughts at the same time and constantly generate the sparks of inspiration!
The fourth layer was comprehending truth! One’s mental power would be pure, and they could even affect reality with their mental power. People in this realm had extremely resolute wills and were impervious to heart demons!
Bei Feng had already stepped into the second layer, the state of emptiness. When he first received this meditation technique, he’d only spent three days to step into the second layer. And as his foundations were good, he directly reached the peak of the second layer!
But at this point, he realized that this meditation technique only had very limited effects for him. In contrast, the evil source energy seemed to have been provoked, and would break out like an illness every so often.
There were a few times when Bei Feng was nearly overcome with bloodlust, and had to rely on his willpower and the Third Level donkey Demonic Beast meat to suppress it!
‘At this rate, what will happen to me? And after being repressed for so long, how fearsome will the counterattack of the evil source energy be?’
Bei Feng felt a huge headache coming on. The last time the evil source energy launched an attack, it’d directly dragged him into a deep illusion. If not for the Fishing Rod, he might have really died!
‘System ah, System, is this a a ploy set up just for me? Was that Heavenly Demonic Corpse really refined for me? Or does it have any other purpose?’ Bei Feng thought gloomily. The System was the one who requested for him to refine the Heavenly Demonic Corpse this time, which caused the strange phenomena to happen. With the circumstances and the coincidences, he could not help but think in a negative way.
