Chapter 443 -440: The Nine Meridians True Inheritance, Fire Crow Cold Crow
As for the remaining two True Disciples, they were relatively senior in terms of their status within the Sect.
Among them, Qin Feng had briefly seen the True Disciple of the Wild Beast Lineage from afar during his first visit to the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Outer Sect.
It was Qi Wushang, the one with the fierce aura, who had intimidated so many disciples that they all retreated and dared not obstruct him.
This man had a savage nature and was ruthless in his actions, resembling an ancient fierce beast clad in human form. In battle, he was incredibly brutal and merciless.
Moreover, his Lifebound Spiritual Beast was a Fierce Ape with the Zhu Yan Bloodline. Even though the bloodline had not fully awakened when he first entered the Inner Sect, he managed to defeat all his opponents with his fierce combat style and secured the position of True Disciple of the Wild Beast Lineage. Over the years, he was heavily cultivated by his Lineage, and his combat power had become quite formidable.
The last True Disciple from the Profound Turtle Lineage was the most senior among the nine Lineages, having become a True Disciple seven or eight years earlier than Lianxing of the Creation Lineage. His name was Gu Wumou, the brother of Gu Qinghan, the former Elder of Spirit Turtle Peak of the Outer Sect.
Both siblings were the Profound Turtle Lineage’s talented disciples. However, unlike her brother, Gu Qinghan disliked conflict and showing off, so she never vied for the position of True Disciple. To avoid intense competition within her Lineage, she even purposefully took on the role of Elder at Spirit Turtle Peak in the Outer Sect, earning herself a few years of tranquility.
Even though Gu Qinghan did not participate in the last cross-realm expedition due to her aversion to conflict, she comprehended the mysteries of the Law and achieved the Purple Mansion Realm the year following the departure of the expedition forces and eventually returned to the Inner Sect, taking up the position of an Inner Sect Elder.
Her brother, Gu Wumou, though he was the first among the nine Lineages to achieve True Discipleship, there were hardly any rumors about him within the Sect or the Cultivation World.
Almost no one knew of his appearance, his Cultivation Realm, or even his war power. Many cultivators even thought that the Profound Turtle Lineage had not yet selected its True Disciple.
Overall, he was a presence so low-profile that he was nearly forgotten.
Still, the fact that he stood out from all the talented disciples of the Profound Turtle Lineage and seized the position of True Disciple was no simple feat. Even though he was often forgotten, no one who remembered him would underestimate him.
Now, the nine True Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect could generally be divided into two and a half tiers, with Qin Feng, Li Miaozhen, and Lianxing in the first tier.
Qi Wushang, Yuan Powang, Kong Xuan, Wei Yan, and Xue Baoshu made up the second tier.
As for the half-tier, that was Gu Wumou.
He was far too mysterious, and even the Inner Sect Elders of the Profound Turtle Lineage knew little about his exact Cultivation Realm and war power. Therefore, he couldn’t be categorized and was vaguely classed on his own.
Though Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen had yet to advance, they both had plans of their own and were deliberately suppressing their realms. In reality, they had long since overcome any bottlenecks and were ready to advance at any moment.
Once they advanced, they would become as powerful as Lianxing in the Purple Mansion Realm.
This was why the Sect Elders viewed them so highly, and why Yuan Hong, the Vice Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall, valued Qin Feng so much.
Qi Wushang and the others were considered the second tier because their overall Cultivation Combat Power was currently much weaker than that of Qin Feng, Li Miaozhen, and Lianxing, and they also fell short in terms of Dao Cultivation Realm.
However, overall, Qi Wushang and his peers were stronger than True Disciples of previous generations.
This was not because their talents were superior to those former True Disciples. At their level, the difference in cultivation aptitude was negligible, and there was no strict division unless someone was clearly much stronger like Lianxing and Li Miaozhen, who could be considered top-level prodigies.
Those with even greater talent than Li Miaozhen and Lianxing possessed Innate Taoist Bodies.
Such individuals, whose parents were both Immortals, began to bask in the baptism of Immortal Spirit Qi even before they were born, not only possessing Innate Divine Abilities but also possibly wielding the Power of Laws from birth.
Such cases are indeed very rare, and they only have a faster cultivation speed than the average pinnacle talents during the early stages. As for the later stages, that’s another story.
After all, sometimes cultivating too smoothly at the beginning is not necessarily a good thing.
Without going through trials and tribulations and easily reaching realms that ordinary cultivators struggle painstakingly to achieve, their potential for future cultivation may not necessarily be stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. Their specific achievements will depend on their understanding.
Talent and aptitude are more helpful to cultivators during the early stages. After achieving longevity, all immortals have Immortal Spirit Bodies and have understood a law. Besides comparing who has a more profound foundation, how much stronger can one be than another?
In the end, what counts is opportunity and understanding, as well as an individual’s ability to perceive the Dao.
Above those with innate Daoist Bodies, there is an even more extraordinary category of people: the Masters of Qi Luck.
However, such individuals do not appear under normal circumstances. They only have the possibility of being born when a great calamity occurs between heaven and earth or when the world has developed to its extreme.
The reason why the Heavenly Dao bestows Qi Fortune to cultivate Masters of Qi Luck must be because it seeks something. Otherwise, why would the World Will expend its own power to bestow Qi Fortune upon a certain person?
The Cultivation World is now embarking upon expeditions into the void, waging wars across Ten Thousand Worlds. Although Biluo Heavenly Dao has not directly bestowed great Qi Fortune to nurture Masters of Qi Luck like during the Ancient Great Tribulation, as sects continuously transport foreign world resources back to Biluo Great World, the Heavenly Dao will gradually strengthen the Qi Fortune of sects that have made contributions.
If someone happens to find resources beneficial to Biluo Heavenly Dao while outside the domain, they might have the opportunity to be favored by the Heavenly Dao, and become a Master of Qi Luck, a darling of the Heavenly Dao. Then, their cultivation will certainly advance by leaps and bounds, and it is possible that within a few years, they might achieve immortality, becoming a Great Power.
The reason why True Disciples like Qi Wushang seem a bit stronger than those of previous generations is mainly that they were lucky to catch such a good opportunity.
In recent years, the Beast Taming Sect has launched expeditions against the Red Flame Demon Realm, followed by campaigns against various Demon Dao sects. There have been continuous great wars, and unceasing smaller battles. Not to mention, just the pressure of war alone is enough to promote their rapid growth.
Moreover, as the Beast Taming Sect leads cross-world battles and the victorious return of resources to Biluo Great World in abundance, the sect’s Qi Fortune has significantly increased. As the public faces of the sect, True Disciples also receive many intangible benefits, hence their overall potential is stronger than that of True Disciples from previous generations.
For example, the predecessor of the Spiritual Snake Lineage, Long Qibian, whose talent and aptitude were not inferior to Kong Xuan and others, could not compare with them in temperament or opportunity. Having been born several decades earlier and not catching up with the current opportunities, he was surpassed.

Of course, if Long Qibian had been born a few decades later, even if Qin Feng had not taken the place of True Disciple, he would still have been surpassed.
There’s no helping it; someone has an external aid.
With the Demon Refining Pot, a treasure with special functionality by his side, it would be difficult for Qin Feng to not progress quickly.
Many times, Qin Feng is also thankful that the Qin Family is a vassal family of the Beast Taming Sect, which gave him the opportunity to join the Beast Taming Sect. Otherwise, if he had joined another sect, even if he could still cultivate Spiritual Beasts, it would definitely not be as convenient as the Beast Taming Sect. He certainly would not have had the chance to practice such techniques as the Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture, allowing him to refine his Lifebound Spiritual Beasts.
Just having one Lifebound Spiritual Beast has helped him tremendously.
Now, the True Disciple candidates of the nine lineages of the Beast Taming Sect have been determined. Apart from early victors such as Gu Wumou, Lianxing, and Li Miao Zhen, only Qi Wushang is relatively senior.
Others, like Xue Baoshu, Yuan Powang, and Wei Yan, only joined the sect a few years before Qin Feng, while Kong Xuan only joined a year earlier than Qin Feng, making up the most outstanding batch of disciples accumulated in recent years.
Of course, genius disciples appear every year, and every few years, there will be one or two exceptionally outstanding ones.
Such as Lin Jingxin, who was initially intercepted midway by a Demon Cultivator from the Yin Spirit Sect, attempting to abduct her because she has an Innate Dao Heart.
Though she currently does not cultivate as fast as those intentionally nurtured with Innate Daoist Bodies, having an Innate Daoist Body is different from an Innate Dao Heart. They belong to completely different categories.
A Daoist Body mainly reflects externally, with a faster rate of absorbing Spiritual Energy during cultivation, while a Daoist Heart reflects internally, excelling in comprehending cultivation techniques and perceiving the speed of understanding laws, unmatched by ordinary cultivators.
“Though an Innate Taoist Body can be cultivated later, an Innate Daoist Heart is truly born with one.”
“Therefore, this girl received focused training from the Creation Lineage’s branch of the Spiritual Tree. With an abundance of Cultivation Resources, her own speed of cultivation was also extremely rapid. In fact, her cultivation had even surpassed that of people like Wei Yan, who had started their journey years before her.”
“Alas, the position of a True Disciple as the Spirit of the Creation Lineage had already been occupied by Lianxing more than ten years before she began, so there was no chance for her to become a True Disciple.”
“As for Qin Feng, Lin Jingxin, and their peers who joined later, there were also several outstandingly talented disciples.”
“It was a pity that they had started even later and were preempted by people like Kong Xuan. The True Discipleships of all nine lineages had already been occupied—where was their place?”
“If anyone felt dissatisfied, one could challenge a True Disciple; if one could truly prove to be stronger than a True Disciple, then the sect would certainly provide ample cultivation.”
“The Sect’s True Disciples are chosen for their talent, not to nurture the mediocre. If one fails in battle while holding the position of True Disciple, it would be far too shameful. Thus, generation after generation of True Disciples would cultivate desperately, progressing at lightning speed, leaving no opportunities for others to challenge them.”
“Another option is to wait until the True Disciples ascend to the Purple Mansion and relinquish their True Discipleship, then compare progress in the Purple Mansion Realm to see whose cultivation has advanced more swiftly and whose ascension rate is stronger. By then, everyone would naturally have a gauge in their hearts, and the Sect would also have a reward system for those geniuses who surpassed their predecessors.”
“Just like Liu Xuanling in the past, who relied on personal opportunities and outstanding talent to surpass his contemporaries, otherwise, those geniuses who were a step behind would ultimately only be cultivated as ordinary talents.”
“Vice Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall, Yuan Hong, looked at Qin Feng before him with a heart full of emotion.”
“He belonged to the type of ordinary cultivator who had been continuously surpassed by latecomers. His progress in cultivation in his early years had not been fast and in order to obtain more Cultivation Resources, he had even devoted more effort to mundane affairs. After many years of accumulating resources, he had pushed his cultivation to the Golden Core Peak. Then, after nearly two hundred years of arduous effort, he had managed to comprehend the Power of Laws just before his life’s limit and ascended to the Purple Mansion.”
“At this point, he was already content.”
“He knew his talent was mediocre; being able to cultivate to the Purple Mansion Realm was his limit.”
“Although he had been somewhat unwilling in the years after his initial ascension, wanting to cultivate hard in hopes of advancing further—after all, every cultivator dreams of achieving immortality.”
“But the Power of Laws cannot be obtained through mere hard work. After nearly a hundred years of reclusively arduous cultivation, not only had he seen little progress, but he would also often hear of genius disciples who ascended later easily surpassing him.”
“By then, he had thoroughly given up, simply focusing all his energy on managing the Sect’s mundane affairs, which also earned him some resources to nurture his family’s younger generations and support the household.”
“And then, just because he was diligent in his work and had some talent in managing affairs, he was promoted to be the Vice Hall Master specifically responsible for handling matters.”
“Of course, there were several other Vice Hall Masters like him, categorically assisting the Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall in dealing with various affairs. The Hall Master of Internal Affairs most of the time was just a titular position, rarely dealing with specifics, instead focusing more energy on cultivation, attempting to break through the constraints of the Primordial Spirit and achieve the immortal dao.”
“Yuan Hong just happened to be in charge of matters related to Spiritual Beasts, which was why Qin Feng had sought him out.”
“It was precisely because he knew how exceptional a talent Qin Feng was that he valued him so much.”
“Martial Uncle Yuan is too kind. The previous batch of Spiritual Birds was quite good; I was very satisfied.”
“Qin Feng smiled and bowed respectfully toward Yuan Hong, ‘Disciple has come here today for another request.'”
“Oh!”
“At this, Yuan Hong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there were no issues: ‘What does Nephew Qin wish for?'”
“Disciple would like a few crow-like Spiritual Birds.”
“”
Qin Feng inquired, “I don’t know how many types of spiritual birds like these does our Beast Taming Sect have?”
“Crow?”
Yuan Hong looked at Qin Feng with some surprise, not expecting that he would be interested in such an unconventional spiritual bird.
Could it be that all the spiritual birds he had found for him before were too beautiful, and this young man had some special tastes, disliking beautiful spiritual birds and wanting a few whose bodies were pitch black and breath oddly ancient?
However, he didn’t ask further. Whatever a true disciple wanted, it was best to try to fulfill their requests, especially since the merits recorded in Qin Feng’s merit book were frighteningly high, rivaling even those of some elders in the Dharma Image Primordial Spirit Realm. Merely discovering the Red Flame Demon Realm and bringing back Druid inheritance from another world could allow him to cultivate in leisure.
So Yuan Hong directly said, “Actually, if we divide spiritual birds of the crow type into categories, there are quite a few, but since their appearance is not very pleasing, coupled with the fact that few crows can cultivate to a high level, they are not considered numerous in our Beast Taming Sect.
Besides the Fire Crow Elder of the Vermilion Bird Lineage who has bred a batch of fire crows, there are also a few hundred cold crows at the Outer Mystic Bird Peak, and some iron beak crows are scattered and bred at Spiritual Vulture Peak.”
Yuan Hong didn’t even need to check the sect records. Although there were countless spiritual beasts within the various lineages of the Beast Taming Sect, as the Vice Hall Master in charge of this area, he was familiar with them all and could recite the numbers and types of spiritual beasts from memory.
“So few?”
Qin Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat unexpected.
“Indeed, a bit scarce,”
Yuan Hong laughed, “The sect had investigated this a long time ago, and although many crow-type spiritual birds have traces of the Three-legged Golden Crow bloodline, it is too insignificant. Among the crow family, apart from the Golden Crow bloodline, no other top-level great powers have emerged.
As a result, their own bloodlines are suppressed by the Golden Crow bloodline, and yet the Golden Crow bloodline is too insignificant, making their cultivation speed average, or even inferior to those spiritual beasts whose ancestors were at most ordinary demon immortals. The fire crows that the Fire Crow Elder has bred are indeed the fastest in cultivation and the strongest in combat power among all crow-type demon birds.
However, because of their appearance, they are not very popular among the disciples, so there are not many crow-type spiritual beasts within the sect.”
Seeing Qin Feng frown, he quickly added, “However, if Nephew Qin needs them, I will have the Internal Affairs Hall issue a mission right away to have the disciples capture them everywhere. Within a month, I could get you a large number of them.”
“Hmm.”
Qin Feng nodded, “If that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble Martial Uncle.”
After pondering for a moment, he continued, “Please have someone go to the Outer Sect first and send me a Foundation Establishment Realm cold crow and an iron beak crow.
Also, please speak to the Fire Crow Elder to select a Demon Core Realm fire crow for me.
Besides, have the Internal Affairs Hall issue a mission to capture various types of crows for me; they must at least be in the Demon Core Realm, don’t bother sending over any weaker ones. Just deduct the necessary expenses directly from my merits; Martial Uncle doesn’t need to worry about conserving them for me.”
“Alright.”
Yuan Hong smiled, “This matter is simple. Not to mention you have enough merits, even without them, just based on your identity as a true disciple, the sect would also solve these issues for you.
Just wait a moment, I’ll send someone to get them. In addition, the mission will be released immediately, and within a month, various crow-type demon birds will be delivered to you.
However, within our Beast Taming Sect’s territory, there are only a few types, and it will not be possible to obtain crow-type spiritual beasts from the Southern Domain or other domains in a short time. If you want those, I’m afraid it might be a bit challenging.”
