Chapter 513: Chapter 485: All Paths Have the Same Origin
Indeed, Ye Feipeng found cultivating the “The Blue Sea Dragon Technique” to be smoother than “The Godly Sword of Calming Seas”.
On the second day of switching techniques, he successfully broke through to the mid-stage of refining energy.
Additionally, with the elixir given by the Immortal Teacher, he was able to slightly activate the hidden power within his body.
After his physical strength enhanced, even Sun Erlang, who was at the final stage of refining energy, couldn’t match him in a fight.
Having consolidated his position as the “Child King” of the Island, Ye Feipeng finally found some peace of mind.
At the same time, he realized that if he wanted to cultivate faster, aside from his own talent and hard work, it was even more essential to please the Immortal Teacher.
From a casual remark from the Immortal Teacher, Ye Feipeng learned that he seemed to take great interest in the progress of refining the Beast Divine Pearl.
So, in addition to his cultivation, Ye Feipeng didn’t forget to always bring the Beast Divine Pearl with him, earnestly sensing it.
One day, after falling asleep holding the Beast Divine Pearl, he seemed to have had a dream.
In his dream, he saw a gruesome and terrifying nine-headed bird suspended in the sky dome.
The enormous body nearly covered the entire vault of heaven.
Each of the nine heads was devouring something in its mouth.
With Ye Feipeng’s current knowledge, he recognized the struggling and writhing limbs of a dragon, an entire intact mountain range, and the trunks of dark grey gigantic trees…
The surroundings were filled with desperate and painful cries, and the world was in a sea of blood.
Ye Feipeng’s young mind was deeply shocked by this apocalyptic scenery.
He stood there, stunned, unable to move.
Just then, one of the heads of the nine-headed bird seemed to notice his presence.
The eye moved slightly, casting a look as if seeing a meal.
Under the gaze of this ferocious creature, fear instantly overwhelmed Ye Feipeng’s mind.
He felt like he was about to be swallowed alive by it.
Just then, Ye Feipeng heard a resonant, distant call by his ear.
It seemed to come from the deep sea, and also seemed to originate from the sky.
The call was filled with defiance and anger.
His eyes became blood red, and Ye Feipeng’s rigid body instantly regained its normal state.
Attracted by this mysteriously appeared call, the nine heads of the bird in the sky all turned around simultaneously.
Ye Feipeng woke up from the nightmare.
Breathing heavily, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought about the scene he had seen in the dream.
“That nine-headed bird must be the exotic beast sealed in the Beast Divine Pearl.”
“But what was that call I heard later?”
Ye Feipeng’s little face was filled with confusion.
However, he knew very well that whatever could attract the attention of the nine-headed bird was certainly anything but ordinary.
Without mentioning it to anyone else, Ye Feipeng kept this incident firmly in mind.
In the following days, Ye Feipeng found that he was far more proficient when cultivating “The Creation and Transformation Furnace Technique”.
The hidden power within his body, which he previously had to cautiously tap into, now came forth with ease.
Even some side effects such as dizziness, and the surging of qi and blood he had experienced earlier, could be completely ignored.
The strength of his physical body was increasing at a frightening pace. While Ye Feipeng found this exciting, he couldn’t help but feel some fear towards the unknown.
So, during the cultivation battles with his companions, he never went all out.
Just like the Tianyang Puppet, he only did what was necessary to win each battle.
Time passed like this for a while.
One day, the Immortal Teacher once again came to Bodhisattva Island.
As usual, he inspected everyone’s cultivation progress, then singled out Xiao Heng, who had been particularly negligent, for a severe reprimand and punishment.
The Immortal Teacher led Ye Feipeng into the secret room for inspection.
In the prolonged silence, Ye Feipeng felt increasingly nervous.
Eventually, he could not hold back and shared with the Immortal Teacher about his dream and the recent changes in his body.
After a moment of contemplation, the Immortal Teacher decided to conduct a thorough examination on him.
And so, Ye Feipeng fell into a deep sleep.
When he awoke, he felt somewhat weaker than before.
The Immortal Teacher thoughtfully handed him an elixir.
Upon swallowing it, Ye Feipeng felt a sudden surge of vitality.
“You were too reckless and unintentionally tainted by the malicious aura of the Nine-headed Bird,” said the Immortal Teacher with his icy voice.
Ye Feipeng was startled, but the following words of the Immortal Teacher put his mind at ease.
“Don’t worry, I’ve removed it from your body.”
“Thank you, Immortal Teacher,” Ye Feipeng expressed his gratitude.
The Immortal Teacher waved his hand, “Even though you were a bit rash, this incident has awakened the thin bloodline of your ancestor within you.”
“Ancestor’s bloodline?” Ye Feipeng asked, both surprised and delighted.
“Indeed. Have you ever heard of the ancient exotic beast, Kunpeng?” Speaking, the Immortal Teacher pointed forward.
The image of a giant exotic beast that sometimes transformed into a bird and other times a fish, appeared in the air.
After telling Ye Feipeng about the power of the Kunpeng, the Immortal Teacher sighed with some admiration, “I didn’t expect that the power of such an ancient ferocious beast would exist within you.”
“If you can harness this power, your cultivation speed will likely surpass that of the so-called prodigies.”
Seeing Ye Feipeng’s expression, the Immortal Teacher continued, “However, every advantage has its disadvantage. A rapid increase in strength will have considerable influence on your mentality. If you cannot control it, it might be more of a curse than a blessing.”
Ye Feipeng hurriedly assured, “Immortal Teacher, rest assured, I will definitely remember your teachings, not being arrogant or impatient, and diligently cultivate.”
The Immortal Teacher slowly nodded, seemingly satisfied with his response.
After receiving a storage ring containing Spirit Stones and a magic tool as a reward, Ye Feipeng left excitedly.
Watching Ye Feipeng’s joyous departure, Li Fan showed a rather ambiguous smile.
“I didn’t expect the speed of this lad’s awakening of the Kunpeng bloodline in this life to be faster than I had anticipated.”
“The Nine-headed Divine Bird…”
Li Fan extended his right hand.
A strand of blood-red evil aura, wrapped around his fingertips, lingering for a long time.
If you listen carefully, you could faintly hear cries and wails emanating from it.
Li Fan absorbed this red evil aura and closed his eyes to feel it.
After a while, he abruptly opened his eyes.
His pupils revealed a trace of strange red at that moment.
Li Fan looked at the stone chair in the secret room.
In an instant, the initially hard surface of the stone, under Li Fan’s gaze, turned charred black.
“It seems to be triggered by the aura of the Kunpeng bloodline, the Beast Soul Bead of the Nine-headed Bird has separated out this unique evil aura.”
“It seems to originate from the divine technique of the Nine-headed bird. Unfortunately, the evil aura is too weak, I can only comprehend this much.”
The strange red light in his eyes disappeared, and Li Fan felt a slight regret.
“Although I can’t use the power of the exotic beast because of Brother Zhang’s Great Aspiration Avatar.”
“But it has its merits. The divine technique of the exotic beast can possibly be used by cultivators.”
“All roads lead to Rome.”
“Just like Han Yi’s technique of controlling fate, it seems to originate from the Heavenly Mandate Mystic Bird.”
Li Fan mused to himself.
