Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 405 - 402 Lifebound Magical Treasure 9 Great Demon Kings

Regarding Ning Wuxu's heartfelt teachings, Qin Feng took them to heart.

However, whether he would follow his master's instructions was another matter.

It was not that he harbored any rebellious mentality, nor was he overly arrogant, nor did he think he had become the Master of Qi Luck of his generation, able to compare with the brilliant figures of the Ancient Great Tribulation who later dominated the world as Great Power Ancestors.

He was not a prodigy like Ghost Ancestor Cang Yang, nor was he like the Five Elements Ancestor or Divine Water Palace Master who possessed rich Qi Fortune, for whom comprehending nine types of Power of Laws to build the most solid Daoist foundation was exceptionally difficult.

If he cultivated in the normal way, even if he exhausted the lifespan of his Golden Core Realm, he might not have the chance to comprehend these nine laws, let alone integrate them into one Technique.

But he still did not give up on his original idea.

Because he wanted to try.

Having been born in this world with the opportunity to embark on the Immortal Dao, he naturally wanted to make his path of Cultivation broader and smoother.

If he could integrate the nine types of Power of Laws and advance to the Purple Mansion, he would lay the most solid foundation for his Daoist cultivation. Although his cultivation journey before becoming an Immortal would be fraught with difficulties—with others progressing by comprehending one law, while he needed to progress in all nine—as long as he could use this to ascertain the Immortal Dao, his path afterward would broaden immensely and would not be like Gui Ling Ancestor or Elder Kongkong, who found it difficult to advance because the path ahead was taken.

If he had the chance to attain the state of Profound Immortal, he would have nine Great Dao paths to choose from. Even if these nine paths were also occupied, he could still carve out a Heavenly Dao by relying on these nine laws!

In fact, in the Cultivation World, there were numerous cultivators with such ambition. Existences like Ghost Ancestor Cang Yang, Five Elements Ancestor, Divine Water Palace Master were all cultivators of this kind—they were ambitious, unwilling to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, and even more unwilling to be hindered by their predecessors, so they blazed new paths.

In ancient times, more and more paths were occupied, which forced Ghost Ancestor Cang Yang and others to choose this method of cultivation to carve out new paths.

Ghost Ancestor and the like succeeded, thus they became regional overlords with formidable strength that shook the world, forcing all cultivators who spoke their names to show respect.

However, such successful figures were exceedingly rare, with over ninety-nine percent having perished, possibly even becoming cautionary tales spoken by masters like Ning Wuxu to instruct their disciples to cultivate pragmatically and not harbor such fanciful thoughts.

In reality, like Gui Ling Ancestor, finding no way forward and seeking opportunities in Otherworlds to advance is a widely accepted and commonly used method in the Cultivation World.

However, those cultivators who had to refer to Otherworld cultivation methods to advance, after achieving Proving Dao Immortality, clearly lacked the war power and potential compared to a Ghost Ancestor who had merged multiple paths and blazed new roads.

Thus, Ghost Ancestor was able to suppress the Netherworld, sweep through the Underground Palace, dominate the Northern Domain, and ascertain Creation during the Ancient Great Tribulation!

Thus, the Five Elements Ancestor and Divine Water Palace Master were able to step further beyond the Golden Immortal Realm and achieve Eternity!

While for those Great Powers who achieved the Golden Immortal Realm, advancing further in the Immortal Realm was countless times more difficult than an ordinary person reaching the heavens.

As cultivators advanced in their Cultivation Realms, their foundation deepened accordingly. If they did not comprehend multiple laws before advancing to the Purple Mansion, even if they achieved the Dharma Image Primordial Spirit and continued to comprehend other laws, integrating them thoroughly into their foundation would be extremely difficult.

And after becoming an Immortal, their path was already set, and it was no longer possible to change the cultivation direction, regardless of whether the path they initially chose was bright or not, they had to follow it to the end.

This is the principle behind "Achieving the Dao without regrets!"

It is because the path that Ghost Ancestor and others took was so arduous that after the Ancient Great Tribulation, fewer and fewer cultivators chose this path.

Because they saw no hope and the path ahead was too vague, even cultivators who had already embarked on this path would ultimately, nine times out of ten, choose to abandon other laws and focus on cultivating only one.

Otherwise, they would never achieve longevity and would merely die of old age on their quest for the Dao.

As for the remaining one or two percent, they would die before even switching paths.

Because they cultivated too slowly, while their counterparts who focused on a single path progressed rapidly due to their concentration, once their Cultivation Realm was completely surpassed, no matter how solid their foundations were, they were inevitably doomed to die and vanish along with their Dao.

This was why Ning Wuxu earnestly and persistently advised Qin Feng.

This path was truly too difficult!

But Qin Feng felt that he was not completely without a chance.

Of course, he did not place his hope on the elusive notion of Qi Fortune.

To be favored by the Heavenly Dao and become the Master of Qi Luck, he would need to perform great deeds for this world's realm, acquiring enough resources to compensate for the losses during the Ancient Great Tribulation.

But this was beyond his capabilities, and possibly beyond even the capabilities of the entire Beast Taming Sect, except for a very few Major Sects or some deeply cultivated old ancestors who could, with their immense power and influence, plunder vast amounts of resources from the Void World; it was virtually impossible for an individual to obtain such an opportunity.

Even Immortal Golden Immortals in the Immortal Realm would not manage it, let alone he, a small cultivator in the Golden Core Realm.

It did not matter that he could contend with Purple Mansion Cultivators or that he had once killed Chu Youhong, who was known as the Sword Master on Taiyi Mountain—if placed in the grand scheme of the Cultivation World he would still only be a small fish, inconspicuous and insignificant, nowhere near the level of attracting significant Qi Fortune from the Heavenly Dao in a short span of time.

The reason Qin Feng had the courage to try this method of cultivation was because of the Demon Refining Pot.

Although this Immortal Artifact was damaged and lacked any offensive or defensive power, primarily serving as an auxiliary Immortal Artifact for subduing Demon Beasts, Qin Feng had discovered other unique uses for this Magical Treasure.

It was not that the Demon King who crafted the artifact was unaware of the Demon Refining Pot's uses; rather, because of the creator's high cultivation, they simply never paid attention to these minor utilities.

He valued the Demon Refining Pot not because it could assist in his cultivation, providing him with pure Spiritual Energy.

Nor was it because the pot could subdue various Demon Beasts to become his subordinates.

The real reason was that once he could refine this Immortal Artifact into his Lifebound Magical Treasure, he would have the opportunity to use the power of the Demon Refining Pot to immerse his spirit into the bodies of the nine Demon Kings in the nine layers of space that were most closely linked to the Demon Refining Pot. Although it would not be a merge like with the Ruyi Golden Snake, he could still grasp the Power of Laws within them.

The Demon Refining Pot was a peculiar Immortal Artifact; it had no Artifact Spirit itself and was crafted merely to subdue Demon Beasts. Moreover, in each layer, it nurtured a Demon King to control all the Demon Beasts thanks to numerous rules inclined towards these Demon Kings of the nine-layer space, making their connection to the Demon Refining Pot especially close, akin to an Artifact Spirit for each layer.

Although they were at most only quasi Artifact Spirits and there were as many as nine of them, they could still be summoned by Qin Feng at any time for battle, possessing independent intelligence, a very different existence from ordinary Artifact Spirits.

That did not matter because their connection to the Demon Refining Pot was so close that once Qin Feng truly refined the pot into his own Lifebound Magical Treasure, he could use the nine-layer space's Demon Kings as benchmarks, borrowing their Laws to comprehend the Laws he needed.

He might even be able to use them later to deepen his Law cultivation, thereby ensuring his Cultivation did not lag too far behind.

If he could truly achieve this, not only would he have the chance to cultivate nine different Laws, it would also be equivalent to having nine additional helpers to assist him in contemplating the Laws, avoiding the slow progress in cultivation that multitasking nine paths usually entailed, and greatly increasing his hopes of eventually Becoming an Immortal.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to try.

If this path truly proved difficult to tread, and ultimately impossible, then at worst, all he would have done was waste some time and lose the advantage he had accumulated early on, regressing from a rapidly progressing genius to an ordinary cultivator with slow advancement—it wouldn't lead to the severance of his path.

However, achieving this was still challenging, firstly because the level of the Demon Refining Pot was too high, making it difficult to refine it into his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Although the Demon Refining Pot had already accepted him as its master, there was a significant difference between acknowledging a master and becoming a Lifebound Magical Treasure. Just as the Swallowing Sky Toad was his Spiritual Beast, obeying his commands, but it was not his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, completely different from the Ruyi Golden Snake.

To truly refine the Demon Refining Pot into his own Lifebound Magical Treasure, he would need to spend much time, energy, True Yuan, Divine Sense, and the Power of Laws. More importantly, he would need to ensure each layer of space had its own independent space.

Even if he didn't require it to possess the nine Cave Heaven Worlds like the Demon Refining Pot in its heyday, places like the second layer's Void Shattering Hammer Cave Mansion and the third layer's Light Domain must each have an independent space.

Moreover, he needed to consider the types of Spiritual Beasts he would cultivate in these other layers of space in the future, and their laws. He couldn't be careless; the Power of Laws must complement each other, otherwise, if the laws became too chaotic, it would make his advancement difficult when trying to Prove Dao in the future.

Thus, he needed to be extremely careful about what he filled each layer's space with—choosing even non-attribute Space Magical Treasures wasn't something done lightly; anything incompatible with the Spiritual Beasts could make shattering those spaces difficult in the future.

Despite this, Qin Feng did not discuss the Demon Refining Pot with his master. Although his master certainly suspected that he must have encountered some opportunities during his travels, especially concerning the Ancient Battlefield incident, Ning Wuxu had personally gone to the Ancient Battlefield to pick the Heavenly Connecting Lotus and had stayed in the area of Void Shattering Hammer Cave Mansion for some time—with his insight, he wouldn't have failed to notice anything.

It's just that being a Great Cultivator, he wasn't so greedy as to covet his disciple's opportunities. Therefore, since Qin Feng hadn't mentioned it before he became a disciple and still didn't bring it up after, Ning Wuxu similarly didn't broach such topics on his own.

Ning Wuxu thought that Qin Feng must have received the inheritance left by the Ancient Immortal, Void Shattering Ancestor, but he didn't pay it too much attention.

After all, during the Ancient Times, the Void Shattering Ancestor was but at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and his Mountain Gate had been breached by the Demon Clan, leaving the Void Shattering Mountain utterly ravaged. Compared to Major Sects like Beast Taming Sect with Ancient Inheritance, the remnants left by Void Shattering Ancestor really were not significant in the eyes of Ning Wuxu, the Great Elder of the Spiritual Snake Lineage.

Ning Wuxu instructed Qin Feng well during his time at the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven, making Qin Feng feel his foundation had grown much stronger.

Though in recent years he had already refined the Golden Core Realm Technique, to be honest, constructing theories in isolation often leads to occurrences of "not seeing the forest for the trees," resulting in numerous issues either overlooked by him or set aside temporarily due to his current realm.

With his master's guidance and Ning Wuxu noticing he no longer faced bottlenecks at the Golden Core Realm, he specially gathered Spiritual Medicine to concoct a batch of Essence Boosting Pills to advance his Cultivation.

While Ning Wuxu wasn't originally an Alchemist, with his Dao Cultivation and Cultivation Realm, concocting some Elixir Pills for small Golden Core Cultivators was effortlessly done.

As a result, when Qin Feng emerged from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven, his accumulation of True Yuan had greatly strengthened, making Hao Shicheng feel an increased pressure upon seeing him. This was the first time he entertained thoughts of urgently advancing to Purple Mansion, causing his normally relaxed mindset to shift slightly.

Unfortunately, enlightenment isn't something that can be rushed.

Hao Shicheng was not an unparalleled genius, and being someone who habitually stayed within the Sect and was too lazy to travel, he didn't have as many opportunities as Qin Feng. Without references, comprehending the laws depended solely on time and hard cultivation, hoping to achieve sudden enlightenment and advance to the Purple Mansion.

Qin Feng wasn't concerned with what Hao Shicheng thought; in fact, if it could exert some pressure on his second senior brother, it was good. Otherwise, with his laid-back attitude, it wasn't implausible for him to stagnate at the Golden Core Peak for another hundred or two hundred years.

Although for many cultivators, advancing to the Purple Mansion would be a great achievement, but given that both his fellow disciples and he were all geniuses progressing rapidly, Hao Shicheng's performance was considerably conspicuous, which was why Liu Xuanling often criticized him.

Qin Feng returned the Dao Scriptures and other related texts he had borrowed from the Scripture Pavilion and spent several months perusing various books there. With the help of Spiritual Medicine and the Demon Refining Pot, he felt his True Yuan was nearing the Peak of the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Whenever Hao Shicheng looked at him with the eyes one uses to watch a bizarre creature, Qin Feng would adopt a distressed expression, sigh pretentiously, and tell him that this training method, without bottlenecks or hindrances from realms, was awfully tedious.

Every time Hao Shicheng heard these words, he was so annoyed that he itched to punch him senseless and beat him up to relieve his anger.

Unfortunately, his junior brother progressed too fast and was also protected by a Purple Mansion Realm Giant Dragon. He was no match for him, so to avoid getting beaten up by Qin Feng, Hao Shicheng had to pretend he didn't see Qin Feng's smug expression and silently went off to cultivate.

"Ah, life is truly as lonely as snow!"

Watching his second senior brother flee in a dejected manner, Qin Feng heaved a sigh of contentment.

There was no helping it, a life with cheats was just that awesome, something not understandable by cultivators like his second senior brother who only knew how to fuss over flowers and plants all day.

That day, feeling that his cultivation had improved slightly, Qin Feng felt bored and decided to go out for a walk, to the market to see if there were suitable Space Magical Treasures, planning to buy a few and fill them into the Demon Refining Pot.

In fact, apart from buying Space Magical Treasures, Qin Feng had thought of another method to fill the nine layers of space inside the Demon Refining Pot.

It was the Space Cutting divine skill that Elder Kongkong had taught him.

If he could cultivate this divine skill to Great Success and upgrade it to Great Divine Power, he wouldn't need to choose any specific space. He could just find a corresponding place, use Space Cutting to drag the cut space into the Demon Refining Pot.

Regrettably, his understanding of the Dao of space was too shallow.

Or rather, his understanding of all Daos wasn't very deep. If it weren't for the Ruyi Golden Snake and Rock Giant's demon cores, he wouldn't have been able to comprehend the two Laws so quickly.

To this day, Qin Feng had yet to truly master the divine skill of Space Cutting, let alone advance it to a Great Achievement Realm to become a Great Divine Power.

This urgency to refine the Demon Refining Pot into his Lifebound Magical Treasure was exactly why Qin Feng couldn't wait. Once the Demon Refining Pot became his Lifebound Magical Treasure, he could immerse his spirit into the Swallowing Sky Toad's spirit, similar to his merging with the Ruyi Golden Snake, except he would just need to connect his spirit with the Swallowing Sky Toad, without undergoing a transformation; he didn't want to become a Toad Immortal.

By merging his spirit with the Swallowing Sky Toad, he could comprehend the Swallowing Sky Toad's Space Power and thereby cultivate the divine skill of Space Cutting.

Then, just let the Swallowing Sky Toad advance another step, let it comprehend a bit of the Power of Laws based on its Innate Divine Ability, and Qin Feng might similarly gain the Space Law, subsequently elevating Space Cutting.

Unfortunately, during the years he had achieved the Golden Core, he hadn't seriously considered refining the Demon Refining Pot into his Lifebound Magical Treasure until he had the idea during the Golden Core Late Stage and had only been wholeheartedly refining the Demon Refining Pot for about a year now.

Despite seeming to advance rapidly, the Golden Core in his Dantian, which grew larger under the constant infusion of pure Spiritual Energy, deepened his accumulation of True Yuan. But in reality, his True Yuan was mostly in a half-full state because he kept pouring his True Yuan into the Demon Refining Pot, trying to refine this damaged Immortal Artifact.

Unfortunately, no matter how damaged, an Immortal Artifact was still an Immortal Artifact, too powerful in origin. If Qin Feng hadn't grasped some subtle uses of Law, with his current strength of True Yuan, even a thousand years of refining wouldn't be enough to turn the Demon Refining Pot into his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

But with the help of the Power of Laws, this possibility was continually escalating.

Especially after listening to Ning Wuxu's teachings, Qin Feng had significantly improved in his application of Laws, thereby using the meager Laws he had grasped to control his True Yuan, continuously eroding the origin of the Demon Refining Pot and refining its core restrictions, thus gradually seeing hope.

If things went on at this rate, perhaps within a decade or two, he might be able to completely refine the Demon Refining Pot into his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

This speed was already quite fast. After all, the Demon Refining Pot was an Immortal Artifact. If it hadn't been broken by Great Powers during the Ancient Great Tribulation, it would be impossible for him, at his current realm, to refine it successfully.

But he still found it a bit slow and wanted to speed up the process of refining.
