A hundred days had passed. Jing Feng woke up from his meditative state once again.
"En, I don't know how long I've been meditating this time, but it seems like the spiritual energy in my body has become more stable. I can already easily control this ball of spiritual energy to move around in my body. It seems that I've already reached the early stage of the connection that senior brother Ning Shizi said. Jing Feng secretly laughed in his heart.
Actually, Jing Feng still didn't know that the reason why he was able to reach the early stage of the breakthrough so quickly was because of the Heavenly Dao Sect's supreme grade immortal pill, the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill. The Nine Revolutions Immortal Spirit Pill was the best pill in the cultivation world. If Jing Feng had not been so heavily injured that most of the spiritual energy in the pill had been used to heal his injuries, just one pill would have allowed him to reach the early stage of the Aurous Core stage.
"Sigh! Through these two cultivation sessions, I finally understood what Master meant when he said that there was no sun or moon in cultivation. Every time I meditate and cultivate, I feel like it's only a short while. Senior Brother says that it's been a long time, but I don't feel anything at all. If this continues, I don't even know what year it is now. Jing Feng scratched his head and muttered to himself.
" Mm... Master and Senior Brothers are all cultivating now, so I won't disturb him for now. I've been in Tiandao Sect for some time, but I haven't had a good stroll around. I'll go outside to take a look at Master's Cloudmist Peak and have a good time. Then, I'll go to the back mountain to pick some wild fruits to eat.”Jing Feng patted the dust off his body and muttered to himself.
Jing Feng walked out of the Spirit Mist Cave. A gentle ray of sunlight shone on Jing Feng's face. Scenes of novelty and magnificence were imprinted into Jing Feng's eyes. Looking at the scenery outside, Jing Feng felt that everything was so novel and exciting. It was as if he had entered a whole new world.
A thousand-year-old divine tree that was a hundred meters long and had penetrated the clouds, vines that looked like dragons soaring through the clouds, mountain fruits that made people drool, strange boulders, and small animals that appeared in the forest from time to time. All of this was something Jing Feng had never imagined or seen before. Everything made Jing Feng feel so fresh.
"When I was young, I heard adults say that being an immortal was good. I didn't know at that time, but I didn't expect that immortals were really so good. They lived in such a beautiful place, and they didn't feel tired when they ran. Haha!" Jing Feng thought as he ran, and laughed out loud.
"Hmm? Let's go to the back of the mountain first and see if there are any more fun places. Jing Feng muttered to himself.
Jing Feng followed the winding path and walked into the valley. At this moment, Jing Feng's stomach suddenly growled.
"Hmm ~~ I don't know how many days I haven't eaten, so I'm a little hungry. Let's pick some wild fruits to eat first and fill my stomach. I'll pick more good-looking fruits that I've never seen before. I think they'll definitely taste better than the ones I've eaten before.”Jing Feng muttered to himself as he jumped onto the tree to pick some wild fruits.
Jing Feng was only nine years old this year. A nine-year-old child would forget about danger when he saw something new. Everything in front of him was new. As for Jing Feng, he was not in good health when he was young. Although he liked to play, he could not exercise vigorously due to his physical limitations. Thus, when Jing Feng recovered and saw the new scenery, he completely forgot what Senior Ning Shizi had told him: " Don't go to the back mountain at night. You must return to Cloud Mist Cave at night."
As Jing Feng played, he jumped onto a tree to pick wild fruits to eat. He slowly walked to the depths of the back mountain. At this time, the sky gradually darkened. It was only until Jing Feng could no longer see the road under his feet that he remembered what Senior Martial Brother Ning Shizi had said to him. At this time, Jing Feng had already lost himself in the depths of the mountain forest of Cloudmist Peak. The thin and small Jing Feng was also gradually feeling afraid.
At night, the cold wind on Yunwu Peak was accompanied by the howls of wild beasts. Everything was so strange that it made people feel frightened. The large spirit beasts in the mountains were usually active at night, and among them were the ferocious ones. Spirit beasts were different from wild beasts. High-level spirit beasts had their own consciousness and could communicate with humans. Moreover, the attack and defense of a spirit beast were higher than that of a wild beast of the same level. Furthermore, there were a few high-grade spirit beasts who ascended to the immortal realm after undergoing the baptism of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and became immortal beasts.
Jing Feng wandered helplessly in the forest. As he wandered, he sniffled and said,"Master, Senior Brother, where are you? Come and save me. I'm so scared.”Jing Feng kept rubbing his eyes and crying.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the forest. Jing Feng followed the sound and saw a pair of green eyes. It was very scary.
Jing Feng's heart tightened as he turned around and ran away. Using all his strength, he quickly disappeared into the night.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Jing Feng gradually slowed down. He turned around to take a look and saw that there was nothing unusual. Only then did he rest assured and sit on a rock to rest his feet.
The sound of the water rippling gradually reached Jing Feng's ears. Due to the intense running just now, Jing Feng's mouth was dry and he wanted to find some water to quench his thirst. Hence, he followed the sound of the water and walked to the side of the cold pool.
Just as he approached the cold pond, a roar suddenly came from the cold pond." Roar!" A snake-like monster that was hundreds of meters long emerged from the water and appeared beside the pool. This was a monster with a snake face and a jackal body. It had wings on its back and walked like a snake, wriggling around. This monster was an ancient magical beast that had transformed into a snake. The snake form of a Magical Beast had a human face and a jackal body, and this snake form clearly hadn't evolved into a Magical Beast, and was only a High Rank Spiritual Beast.
At this moment, Jing Feng was scared silly by the scene in front of him. His legs were trembling non-stop. Looking at such a monster that exceeded his imagination, Jing Feng had already forgotten to escape. Right at this moment, the monster roared and suddenly pounced towards Jing Feng.
"Master, I'm sorry. I won't be able to repay you for saving my life and teaching me. Senior Brother, although we've only known each other for a short time, I know that you're good to me. After I die, I'll turn into a ghost and bless you and Master every day. Big brother, please forgive me for not being able to save you. Father, mother, sister, sister, I've come to find you. Our family will never be separated again.”The moment Jing Feng died, Master, Senior Brother, Big Brother who had been captured, and his deceased relatives kept flashing in his mind. However, a strange scene happened. The moment the snake pounced on Jing Feng, it suddenly stopped. Its entire body seemed to be electrocuted as it trembled non-stop, and its mouth let out a terrified "wu wu" sound.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jing Feng carefully opened his eyes. He saw that the huge creature was not eating him. Instead, it was lying at his feet, trembling non-stop. Jing Feng felt extremely puzzled.
Jing Feng slowly stretched out his trembling hand and gently rubbed the head of the snake that was lying at his feet. He saw that the snake did not move, but instead made a whimpering sound.
Jing Feng was a nine-year-old child after all. The panic came and went quickly. After seeing that the transformed snake did not have any ill intentions, Jing Feng slowly became bolder.
"You won't bully me or bite me, right?”Jing Feng stroked the snake's head and asked softly.
"Wuuu!" Snake nodded. The Snake Transformation was an ancient magical beast with a very strong intelligence. It easily understood the meaning behind Jing Feng's words.
Actually, the Snake Transformation was not afraid of Jing Feng. It was just that the moment the Snake Transformation approached Jing Feng, it suddenly felt a king's aura from Jing Feng's body. This king's aura was something that it could not resist, so the Snake Transformation had no choice but to submit to Jing Feng.
Seeing Snake Transformation nod, Jing Feng was very happy. Firstly, he did not have to lose his life. Secondly, such a huge creature was crawling under his feet. As a nine-year-old child, he was very happy and felt a sense of accomplishment.
"What's your name?" Jing Feng asked amiably.
"Wuwuwu!" Snake Transformation shouted in a low voice.
"You don't have a name, do you? I'll give you a name then. What should I call you?”Jing Feng did not care whether the snake was willing or not. He held his chin with his small hand and started to think hard.
"Yes! I'll call you Little Black from now on. We met on this dark night, so I'll call you Little Black. Haha, Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei." Jing Feng didn't care about Snake who was shaking his head continuously and clapped his hands excitedly.
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the center of the cold pond. A round ball slowly floated in the air. A small empty space appeared in the center of the cold pool, and this bright spot appeared above the empty space.
"There's light? Little Black, look at the light. What is that?”Jing Feng patted the snake's head and said.
In fact, this Spirit Beast Snake was a Spirit Beast subdued by an Evil Sect expert more than three thousand years ago. After the great battle between good and evil, the Evil Sect's experts died, and the spirit beast snake did not dare to escape as it was afraid of the Heavenly Dao Sect's Immortal Beast, Stone Beast, and Flowing Light Leopard. It had no choice but to run to the deep mountains of Cloud Mist Peak to cultivate. This snake had unintentionally discovered that the wood-type spiritual energy in this cold pool was very abundant, so it had hidden here for thousands of years to cultivate, hoping to become a demonic beast as soon as possible, leave Tiandao Sect, ascend to the demon world, and be free. And that bright spot was the reason why this deep pool was filled with wood-type spiritual energy.
"Xiao Hei, can you bring me over to take a look?”Jing Feng did not wait for the snake to agree and quickly mounted the snake's back.
The transformed snake did not seem to have the slightest resistance to Jing Feng's words. It had no choice but to bring Jing Feng along as they slowly swam to the vicinity of the light. When it was three meters away from the light spot, the snake suddenly stopped swimming.
"What's wrong, Xiao Hei? Why did you stop? Can't you swim over? Why are you trembling all over? Are you sick?”Jing Feng stroked the snake's head and asked with concern when he saw the snake's pained expression.
Suddenly, there was a roar! The transformed snake let out a low growl and rolled in the pool before sinking into the water. Jing Feng was sent flying high up into the air by the gigantic body of the snake, flying helplessly in the direction of the bright spot.
"Ahhhhh!" Jing Feng, who was in the air, was so scared that he was clawing wildly with his hands. Around the bright spot, where even High Rank Spirit Beasts like the Snake Transformation could not approach, Jing Feng, who had just reached the Initial Stage of the Connective State, was able to move smoothly without any obstruction.
Bang! Jing Feng's head fiercely smashed into the empty space in the middle of the cold pond. Jing Feng was a little dazed from the impact.
"Ah! Ah! My head hurts!" Jing Feng covered his head and rolled on the ground.
"Hmm? What is this in my hand? Why is there a shining bead?”Jing Feng looked at the round bead in his hand in puzzlement.
A gust of cold wind blew across the surface of the pond. "So cold!" Jing Feng sat on the empty ground, his entire body trembling.
"Hmm? This round bead is so warm. If I put it in my mouth, it might be a little warmer.”Jing Feng placed the bead into his mouth in a daze.
The moment Jing Feng placed the bead into his mouth, the bead started to jump left and right in his mouth as if it wanted to rush out of Jing Feng's mouth.
With a gulp, the bead accidentally rolled onto Jing Feng's throat, causing him to swallow it down.
"Ah!" Jing Feng immediately sobered up." What did I eat? Ah!" It's that ball. I ate such a big piece of rock. What should I do?”Jing Feng cried out loudly.
In fact, this wasn't a stone. It was an ancient spiritual tree born from heaven and earth, the Dragon Subduing Wood. The bead was the wood heart of the Dragon Subduing Wood, the soul of the Dragon Subduing Wood. If the heart of the Dragon-Subduing Wood knew that Jing Feng treated it as a broken rock, it would probably come out and eat Jing Feng.
Today happened to be the first day of the year, the first day of the month. It was the time when the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was the most abundant. Every year at this time, the Dragon Subduing Wood would release its Wood Heart to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for its own cultivation. And that empty space was evolved from the Dragon Subduing Wood.
The Dragon Subduing Wood had not expected that Jing Feng would appear by the pond in this pitch-black night, ignoring the protection of the Spiritual Light Mantle and coming to the open space. He accidentally grabbed the Heart of Wood in his hand. It was as if there was heaven's will in the dark.
The Heart of Wood, which had been in Jing Feng's hand at the start, wanted to break free from Jing Feng's control. He did not expect that the Heart of Wood in his hand would not be able to use even a trace of spiritual power. It could only lie obediently in Jing Feng's small hand.
When Jing Feng put the Heart of Wood into his mouth, it broke free from his grasp. He wanted to rush it out of Jing Feng's mouth, but he didn't expect that it would be fine and Jing Feng would accidentally swallow it. Right now, the Dragon-subduing Wood really felt like crying.
The Heart of Wood that was swallowed by Jing Feng suddenly had a bright light and wanted to fuse with Jing Feng in order to escape. At this moment, Jing Feng was unable to resist the Spirit Power of the Heart of Wood at all.
