Chapter 595: Chapter 590: 9th Level Perfection Promotion Opportunity

Qin Feng emerged from the Chaotic Sky Map, standing mid-air, bathing in the outside world’s light. The brightness sharply contrasted with the chaotic and dim void within the map. He looked around, and his mood instantly lightened.

“Quack quack…”

The space power around the Swallowing Sky Toad was pervasive. Wrapped around by layers of space, what was a massive body now appeared the size of a fist.

It leaped forward, stretching out its slender webbed feet and hugged the Chaotic Sky Map, hopping onto Qin Feng’s hand. It joyfully pushed the map towards Qin Feng, clearly wanting to offer this treasure to its master.

In the Swallowing Sky Toad’s heart, without its master, reaching its current level of cultivation in a mere few decades would have been doubtful. Crossing the threshold of Foundation Establishment from the Qi Refining Realm was uncertain at best, especially considering the vast amount of energy the Swallowing Sky Toad Clan required to advance. On its own, who knew how long it would take to accumulate enough energy by slowly hunting prey.

Even if it could advance to Foundation Establishment, that was just the beginning. How could it compare to its current strength at the late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm?

Moreover, as Qin Feng’s first Spiritual Beast, it was looked after extensively; never short of resources and with endless Spiritual Energy for cultivation inside the Demon Refining Pot. Furthermore, when the toad was first subdued by Qin Feng, its Spiritual Intelligence was low, akin to a child, almost ignorant of everything. It could be said it was raised by Qin Feng, hence its high recognition and acceptance of Qin Feng as its master.

Thus, the Swallowing Sky Toad never felt being Qin Feng’s Spiritual Beast, confined to cultivating in the Demon Refining Pot, was a bad thing!

This was also why it thought of offering its treasure to Qin Feng after obtaining it, like a child eager to show off its achievements to its elders.

Qin Feng chuckled, stroked the Swallowing Sky Toad a few times, and nodded in approval.

Indeed, the young beasts that he raised himself were different from those mature Spiritual Beasts.

Especially the White Dragon, which was quite petty. Far from offering treasures voluntarily, it always came to him looking for handouts, always scheming how to extract more treasures to build its golden palace!

Over the years, the third layer of the Demon Refining Pot accumulated treasures like mountains, yet the White Dragon never once offered anything to him of its own volition.

Qin Feng muttered to himself, then began to heap praise on the Swallowing Sky Toad.

Such commendable behavior of offering treasures to its master certainly deserved to be preserved. He hoped the Swallowing Sky Toad would share this selfless style with the other Spiritual Beasts, inspiring them to emulate it.

So, Qin Feng did not skimp on words of praise, making the Swallowing Sky Toad beam with joy. Its normally bright eyes even squinted into slits, and its huge mouth almost split to the back of its head, revealing an almost human-like smile.

High above, invisibly protecting Qin Feng, Elder Long Qian could not suppress a laugh when he saw how the master nearly coaxed the Spiritual Beast lame. Even someone of his usually restrained temperament shook his head, finding it hard to watch the toad at that moment.

After lavishing praise on the Swallowing Sky Toad, Qin Feng finally took the Chaotic Sky Map and sent it into the Demon Refining Pot with a flip of his hand.

“Although you’ve offered this treasure to me, being naturally fair and generous, how can I take advantage of you? So, I will leave this Magical Treasure for you as your cultivation place, to spare you from having to squeeze with the others.”

In a gesture of apparent generosity for the Swallowing Sky Toad’s benefit, Qin Feng integrated the Chaotic Sky Map into the Demon Refining Pot.

Boom boom boom…

As the Chaotic Sky Map began integrating with the first layer of space, becoming one with the Demon Refining Pot, the entire pot suddenly trembled.

“Hm?”

Qin Feng was startled. What was happening?

He quickly projected his spirit into the Demon Refining Pot and saw the pot vibrating intensely, billows of Spiritual Energy gushing out from the nine layers of space. Successive Dao Prohibitions also emerged, turning the whole Demon Refining Pot into a blaze of golden light.

However, this change was all within his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, so the outside world remained oblivious to any disturbance.

After observing carefully for a moment, Qin Feng roughly understood what was happening.

It appeared the Demon Refining Pot was unifying its nine layers of space for the first time, particularly since the first layer’s Chaotic Sky Map was a Cave Heaven Treasure, and one with vast space at that. The integration triggered a certain response in the Demon Refining Pot, restoring a fraction of its might from the times of the Ancient Great Tribulation.

Of course, the Demon Refining Pot was not a combat Magical Treasure. Even restored, it simply made its prohibitions more robust, capable of suppressing more powerful Spiritual Beasts and rendering the nine layers more suitable for the cultivation of various kinds of Spiritual Beasts.

However, for Qin Feng, who had refined this Ancient Immortal Artifact into his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the enhancement of the Demon Refining Pot would also be of infinite benefit to him.

This was the advantage of a Lifebound Magical Treasure, being complementary and mutually supportive with its master; advancement of the master meant the Magical Treasure would also enhance, and if the Magical Treasure advanced first, the master would reap benefits, too.

Nonetheless, since the Demon Refining Pot was not crafted by Qin Feng himself and was of too high a level, he had only preliminarily refined it into a Lifebound Magical Treasure. It was not as intimately connected as objects personally refined during one’s Early Stage of Cultivation. Otherwise, given the Demon Refining Pot’s level, it could have already advanced him to the Immortal Realm.

Magical Treasures were commonly divided into Magic Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Magical Treasures, and Spiritual Treasures. The classification of Immortal Artifacts was even more extensive–Illusion Spirit, True Spirit, Xuanling, Immortal, Eternal, and Creation, corresponding to the six realms of an Immortal.

Apart from these postnatally refined treasures, there were also rumors of innate spiritual treasures.

Every innate spiritual treasure was an existence unto itself, with the lowest being at the immortal level.

The legendary innate treasures could even move the hearts of the strongest powers above the Creation Realm.

The various magical treasures were also categorized according to different attributes of power, such as those specialized in offense, defense, or possessing their own independent spaces, offering a wide array of functions.

The Demon Refining Pot was not only the top-level existence among space magical treasures, the Cave Heaven Treasure, but it was also an outlier among them, possessing as many as nine layers of space, each capable of forming an independent Cave Heaven World. In terms of rank, it was much more powerful than the Beast Taming Sect’s Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven and the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven.

The only problem was that this magical treasure was refined specifically for the demon clan practicing various powers systems, and thus was unsuitable for human habitation.

Like currently, the first layer’s Chaotic Sky Map had a chaotic space, filled with alternating voids, a place even immortals would likely be reluctant to stay in for long, let alone ordinary mortals.

Or take the sixth layer’s Netherworld Treasure Pearl, not only did it harbor a ferocious Hellhound monster, but also Netherworld Water flowed in abundance – who would want to dwell by the Netherworld River?

However, another remarkable feature of the Demon Refining Pot was its ability to alter the attribute of spiritual power according to the different laws of each space, allowing each layer’s space to become even more suitable for the cultivation of the spiritual beasts residing there.

Moreover, during the upgrade period of the Demon Refining Pot, in order to make the spaces more compatible with the power attributes of the spiritual beasts, a close connection was established between the main spiritual beast of each layer and the corresponding space, allowing the space to sense the laws emanating from the spiritual beasts and vice versa. Both began to undergo changes and ascensions.

Seeing this, Qin Feng hastily sent the Swallowing Sky Toad into the Demon Refining Pot.

He had been worried about when this creature would advance to the Dharma Image, but now an opportunity had unexpectedly arrived.

If one were to rank the nine layers within the Demon Refining Pot, the first layer’s Demon Refining Map had the highest rank and strongest laws. Even though it was damaged, there was no faking the space laws.

This moment was also the best time for the Swallowing Sky Toad to perceive the laws of the Chaotic Sky Map; had it missed this chance, it would have been relegated to slowly understanding the space power within the Chaotic Sky Map.

With the tumult coming from the Demon Refining Pot, Qin Feng’s spiritual power also began to surge. As the pot integrated with its nine layers of space, and the intimate contact between the nine layers and their respective main spiritual beasts was established, Qin Feng too was perceiving more of the laws from these spiritual beasts at this moment.

He didn’t have time to look for a secluded place for seclusion, and he directly sat down in the lotus position atop a mountain peak below to commence his cultivation.

He did not want to miss this chance to enhance his Dao cultivation!

Thus, under the dumbfounded gaze of the Supreme Elder who was protecting his Dao, Qin Feng’s Dao rhythm soared, his aura surged, with various powers of laws continuously emerging.

Such a sudden method of enhancement left Elder Long Qian stunned.

No matter how composed Elder Long Qian’s temperament was, he had never witnessed such a thing before.

He had assumed that Qin Feng’s killing of the Black Robed Demon Cultivator, seizing two powerful immortal artifacts, and acquiring other spiritual treasures was already a tremendous opportunity. After all, even if a cultivator in the Purple Mansion Realm came into possession of so much, they would be overjoyed, not to mention a Heavenly Immortal Realm being inheriting two immortal artifacts.

But now, Qin Feng was using a method that even Elder Long Qian at the Heavenly Immortal Peak found unbelievable to perceive the power of laws and improve his Dao cultivation!

“This…”

Elder Long Qian suddenly felt his long-cultivated Heart Realm become somewhat disturbed, and his steady Daoist Heart began to fluctuate.

After a long while, he managed to suppress the tumult within his heart and shook his head with a wry smile, “Alas, I’ve underestimated this young man. Indeed, those favored by the Heavenly Dao, the masters of Qi fortune, cannot be judged by ordinary standards.”

Back in his days, he had devoted so much effort just to enhance a bit of his Dao cultivation and to understand some of the laws. Yet now, Qin Feng’s aura of True Yuan had drastically increased in such a short time, and more importantly, various powers of laws were emerging around him, sometimes even several at once.

Even Elder Long Qian, with his firm Daoist Heart, felt moved to the point of nearly rushing over to ask how Qin Feng managed to achieve this. If someone else with an unstable Daoist Heart were in his place, they might have become envious and entertained the thought of murdering for treasure.

Elder Long Qian shook his head and circled his hand around Qin Feng.

This was the Drawing a Prison spell!

However, Elder Long Qian did not use this spell with the intention of imprisoning Qin Feng. The spell was initiated but not fully formed; he simply attached his own aura to it to prevent any disturbances during Qin Feng’s cultivation.

Otherwise, given Qin Feng’s current state, it would certainly draw the attention of all the living beings within hundreds of miles, undoubtedly luring clueless Demon Beasts to attempt to devour Qin Feng for a chance of fortune.

Now with his aura attached to this spell, Elder Long Qian was sure to scare away those ordinary Demon Beasts, and even ordinary birds and animals would not dare to fly into the circle.

Seeing the opportunity for Qin Feng to enhance his strength, Elder Long Qian, as an elder, naturally rejoiced and would not allow him to be unsettled by external forces.
