Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 629 - 624: Entering the Immortal Mansion
The azure sky was clear, with fluffy white clouds floating leisurely across. A gentle breeze rippled slightly over the sea surface, everything seeming so calm and natural.
Until several beams of Light Escape burst through the clouds from afar, shattering the tranquility!
"Is it here?"
A tall and burly figure looked down at the island below, then turned to the elder beside him and asked.
"Indeed."
The elder nodded, "This is where the Beiming Immortal Mansion will appear. The Hall Master can rest on the island for now, and when the time comes, the mansion will naturally open its gates, guiding those cultivators who possess the tokens to enter and seek their fortunes!
But..."
"But what?"
The burly middle-aged man turned to glance at the elder.
The elder quickly said, "Hall Master, it would be wise to remain cautious later. Not to mention how to seek fortunes in the Beiming Immortal Mansion, you should be wary before entering it to avoid being ambushed by those without the guiding tokens who harbor ill intentions."
"Hmph, those petty individuals had better not bother me, or else I’ll let them taste the power of my Primordial Magnetic Divine Light!"
The middle-aged man looked arrogant and furious, glancing contemptuously all around, looking towards the subtle disturbances hidden in the shadows.
"Tsk..."
In the shadows, someone sneered, clearly disdainful of his self-praise.
However, that person did not show themselves, whether out of dread or a reluctance to provoke a senseless dispute.
The middle-aged man’s expression turned somber as he looked in the direction of the sound for a moment, then followed the elder’s call and led his people down to the island, occupying a corner and setting up several prohibitions, quietly waiting for the mansion to open.
As time passed, more and more cultivators arrived at this location.
There were cultivators from the Northern Domain Human Clan and Demon Clans from the sea, some dressed strangely and unwilling to reveal their true faces, and others were Great Demons who disdained transforming into human form.
After all, the Beiming Immortal Mansion had surfaced in the Beiming Sea Area, so initially, most of the Immortal Mansion Tokens were secured by creatures from the sea.
But given the dominant influence of the Human Clan, news spread inevitably, attracting many Human Clan cultivators who hunted and killed the Great Demons from the sea area possessing the tokens.
Although the sea area was vast and it was impossible to kill all the token-bearing creatures of the sea, the Human Clan cultivators now had the upper hand, having seized most of the Immortal Mansion Tokens.
"Ah..."
Faint cries of agony echoed from the distance, those were some careless cultivators caught unaware by sudden attacks.
Qin Feng did not reveal himself but used the Space Distortion Technique to conceal himself in the void.
Hearing the cries, he turned his head to look briefly in that direction, then withdrew his gaze.
This was already the umpteenth incident today; as the time for the mansion’s opening drew nearer, such assaults grew more frequent. Those desiring to enter the mansion and seize fortunes were nearly resorting to any means necessary, even forming alliances to ambush solitary cultivators possessing the tokens. As for who ended up with the tokens after killing their opponents, that depended on their abilities.
Naturally, there were also those who valued their lives and, upon being surrounded, would immediately throw out their tokens seeing the bad turn of events.
For them, surviving was paramount; otherwise, to fight to the death over a token would only lead to their demise.
Although they lost the opportunity to enter the mansion, it did not mean they couldn’t seize fortunes elsewhere.
Qin Feng had already seen several such individuals who had thrown away their tokens to escape, quietly gathering together, conspiring how to steal treasures from the cultivators exiting the mansion.
This was a common strategy among those who had missed their chance to enter, targeting any solitary cultivator without the backing of a powerful Sect.
Cultivators like Qin Feng, who had come alone, were typical targets.
But he made use of the Space Law to conceal himself in the void, making it difficult for even the most perceptive cultivators to find him, let alone provoke a cultivator skilled in spatial techniques since such cultivators generally excelled at evasion and concealment.
And those with such perceptiveness were generally cultivators at the peak of the Primordial Spirit realm, who themselves possessed guiding tokens and of course saw no need to provoke Qin Feng.
Thus, Qin Feng could leisurely observe from the sidelines without being trapped like those unfortunate cultivators.
Time passed slowly, day and night alternating, until two days later, the Beiming Immortal Mansion finally showed signs of emergence.
The starry sky was brilliant, and under such beautiful starlight, the deep Beiming Sea Area also sparkled with dazzling Star Light.
However, when everyone’s gaze followed the shining Star Light, they realized it wasn’t Star Light at all, but mysterious lights projected from the depths of the sea.
Hum...
The mysterious light transformed into intangible waves emanating from deep within the ocean, sweeping across all directions and quickly invoking the light of the guiding tokens on the cultivators.
One by one, the guiding tokens emitted a soft Spirit Light, leading the cultivators toward a specific direction.
At this point, Qin Feng could no longer stay hidden. Following the direction indicated by the token, he flew out.
"Shoo!"
A ghastly green light silently streaked across the void, targeting Qin Feng.
Because he had not shown himself earlier, the cultivators eager to seize the token had not noticed him. Suddenly seeing a lone cultivator, many were stirred to action.
The one who had stealthily launched the attack was merely the vanguard. Should Qin Feng reveal even the slightest flaw, he would immediately be surrounded and attacked by numerous cultivators with bloodshot eyes.
"Whoosh..."
Qin Feng turned his head and blew out a Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind from his mouth.
The golden wind was sharp, stirring ripples in the void and not only obliterating the ghastly green light but also sweeping toward the attacking cultivator in the distance.
"Ah, no!"
The cultivator was taken aback, not expecting Qin Feng’s counterattack to be so swift and sharp!
He quickly waved his hand, setting up layers of defensive magic in front of him. However, these hastily arranged spells were too weak against the Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind. They were blown apart, destroying thirteen layers of his defensive spiritual light and damaging his magic robe, revealing the face that had been hidden under his broad robe!
"Eh, is that Elder Qi from the Heavenly Star Sect?"
Someone immediately recognized the person’s identity, "I didn’t expect Elder Qi would also resort to sneaking attacks and stealing opportunities, haha, truly an eye-opener.
But why didn’t Elder Qi use his best Nine Star Chain? Instead, using such underhanded techniques? With your skills, you shouldn’t have been so easily broken through."
"Hmph!"
Elder Qi, whose identity was exposed, snorted coldly without responding, simply staring deeply at Qin Feng before turning into a streak of escaping light and leaving.
Although it was unclear whether he was truly leaving or pretending, it was evident that he did not plan to clash with Qin Feng at the moment.
Fighting might not guarantee victory, and even if he won with his identity exposed, Qin Feng could still flee first and seek revenge later.
Seeing Qin Feng’s sharp counterattack, the other observing cultivators knew that his abilities were substantial. They no longer entertained the thought of attacking him.
Qin Feng glanced around and saw that the cultivators who had been watching him silently retreated. He then waved his sleeve and released the guiding token.
The token emitted a burst of spiritual light that enveloped Qin Feng, moving leisurely forward.
At some point, a huge vortex had appeared on the sea surface.
This vortex was indeed massive, spanning dozens of miles in diameter, slowly stirring the seawater. The depths of the vortex emitted a sucking force, drawing all the cultivators wrapped in the token’s light into it.
Qin Feng waited briefly, seeing that the others entered the vortex without hesitation and vanished, then he floated forward and entered after them.
Swish, swish, swish...
Once inside, Qin Feng’s figure inevitably spun with the flow of the vortex. The speed increased, and he sank deeper into the waters.
Until, with a ’bang,’ it felt like his body had burst through a layer, and he suddenly fell into an empty space.
He shook his head, which felt dizzy from spinning, and opened his eyes to look around!
That glance made Qin Feng start.
For he was still above the sea area, and even the island in front of him looked exactly like the one outside.
If it weren’t for Qin Feng’s keen divine sense noticing the differences here, along with the presence of many other cultivators who had entered the vortex with him, he might have thought he had not entered the Immortal Mansion at all.
"Is this a mirror image? Or an illusion? Or has the Immortal Mansion already surfaced, and that island outside is the passageway connecting the Immortal Mansion with the outside world?"
Qin Feng shook his head, circulated his cultivation technique to regulate his breath for a moment, and quickly stabilized his spirit, restoring his condition to its peak.
After a careful examination, he still noticed some differences. The seawater here was even more profound, resembling an endless abyss. Even when he probed with his divine sense, he could not detect the seafloor.
Around him, the other cultivators also quickly scanned their surroundings, then exchanged a significant glance before each choosing a direction and flying away.
Since no opportunities had yet been found, they would not start a fight here. Even if they did, it would have to wait until they saw some benefits!
Qin Feng was initially inclined to first explore the island below, as this place resembled the outside world, there might be some connection or even treasures.
However, twenty or thirty cultivators shared his thoughts. Before he could act, many had already descended onto it, each unleashing their divine sense, their eyes flickering with spirit light, and started their search.
Seeing this, Qin Feng shook his head and resolutely abandoned the idea of exploring this area.
Not to mention that Beiming Immortal Mansion had been opened twice before, and this place had surely been explored by many cultivators. It was unlikely that he’d find any treasures. Even if there were any, facing so many cultivators vying for it, he had no confidence he could escape with the treasures in hand, but rather would become the target of attack.
So, it was better to find another place and seek other opportunities!
Qin Feng did not summon his spiritual beast to travel. The cultivators here did not recognize him, nor did they know he was a disciple from the Beast Taming Sect, so it was better to keep his trump cards for a bit longer to avoid attracting attention.
When opportunity and treasure contested, it would be better to release his spiritual beast to catch the opponents off guard!
