Chapter 1366

Unnoticed, four days had passed, and Xiao Feng's double experience time was about to end.

After several days of contemplation and quiet cultivation, his attributes in all aspects had improved.

With the Diamond Vajra Bracelet and Heavenly Dao Duster, training for one hour increases his divine essence by over ten points, his cultivation by over ten thousand, and his willpower by twenty to thirty points.

His law comprehension value, however, grew slowly; he might not even gain a single point in a day.

However, on the fourth day, while contemplating the Yin-Yang Dao, Xiao Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration; borrowing the principle of mutual restriction of Yin and Yang, he managed to work out the Water Dao among the Five Elements.

Water and fire, although they do not mutually generate and restrict like Yin and Yang, can still be used as a combined law.

【Water of the Five Elements (Medium Law)】

Current Law Comprehension: 10/10 (automatically recovers 2% every 10 minutes)

Law Effect: All water-element skill effects increased by 100%; when releasing a normal attack with the power of the law, it additionally deals water-element damage equal to Law Comprehension × 5,000,000 points, and simultaneously stacks a water shield on oneself with HP equal to Law Comprehension × 5,000,000 (this effect is not affected by any talents or skill bonuses, only by the Law Comprehension cap).

Law Body-Tempering Effect:

1. Every 30 points of Constitution converts to X × 10 HP (X = Law Comprehension)

2. Every 30 points of Intelligence converts to X Divine Essence (X = Law Comprehension)

Compared to the Fire of the Five Elements, the Water of the Five Elements is considerably weaker in offense, but it adds a body shield effect.

In terms of body tempering, it is of the blood-attack type, also a decent combination. However, the Law Comprehension is still a bit low now, so the body-tempering effect is not very pronounced, only adding over 50,000 Divine Essence and over 300 million HP.

Calculating it, the impact is still quite large for an ordinary player.

After all, gaining an extra 300 million HP can outweigh many top-tier divine equipment.

Moreover, the speed of increasing Law Comprehension before reaching 100 points is relatively fast; as long as one focuses on study, raising it to 100 can add 3 billion HP.

Many top players possess around one billion HP precisely because they have initially comprehended the law and gained additional HP from body tempering.

Not long after comprehending the law, the Golden-Winged Great Peng sent someone to ask him to return.

Xiao Feng returned to the main hall of Jinpeng Fortress; the various avian demon cultivators had already left, leaving only Da Bai, the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the Purple Astraea Spirit Crane, and a few others.

"Da Bai, have you been having fun these past few days?" Xiao Feng asked with a smile.

Da Bai felt delighted and replied, "I'm ecstatic; nothing beats home, with so many good brothers and plenty of peers to tease."

Xiao Feng laughed and cried at once.

This guy, could he have been teasing those female demons of Jinpeng Island these past few days?

He's just a little bird at the Nascent Soul stage—how dare he!

"Daoist Xiao Feng, how prepared are you?" the Golden-Winged Great Peng asked.

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "I can fight at any time."

"Good, then let's head west. This trip is somewhat dangerous, so we won't bring others—just you and me." said the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

"Hmm, that's best."

Besides Da Bai, other monsters have only one life; if they die, they're gone.

So on this trip, we can't bring too many helpers, lest they become a hindrance!

"Big Brother… Daoist Xiao Feng, are you confident?" the Purple Astraea Spirit Crane asked anxiously.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng isn't worried; with his speed he can flee, and even if he can't win, he won't fall into a trap.

What he worries about is Xiao Feng's bragging being exposed, leading to bad consequences.

Da Bai, upon hearing this, responded: "Second Brother, rest assured, my big brother Xiao Feng is extremely formidable; he can surely kill that immortal. Our big brother is so fast that going out to slay enemies and returning for a meal takes less than an hour."

"That fast…"

Xiao Feng, upon hearing this, was secretly startled.

From Jinpeng Island to the far west of the West Sea, a round trip is about 13 million kilometers; if it could be done in an hour, that would be over six million kilometers per hour—terrifying!

That's 100,000 kilometers per minute!

No wonder he's called the fastest in Kyushu; even a Golden Immortal can't catch up—indeed he's got real skill!

"Then Big Brother and Daoist Xiao Feng, be extra careful; we'll wait here for your return!" said the Purple Astraea Spirit Crane.

The White Phoenix also said, "If it's truly dangerous, just come back first; safety comes first!"

"Hmm, you wait here a moment; we'll go and come back quickly."

The Golden-Winged Great Peng gave a sound, then took Xiao Feng and left Jinpeng Fortress together.

"Eh? What about me? What about me? I could go watch a show—I'm not afraid of death!"

Da Bai realized he hadn't been taken along and shouted anxiously.

Unfortunately, the Golden-Winged Great Peng's speed is too fast—it covers dozens of kilometers in an instant; its voice couldn't be transmitted in time, and the people had already vanished.

Being carried by the Golden-Winged Great Peng, Xiao Feng felt only a blur before his eyes, and he was already in the sky.

Taking a closer look, Jinpeng Fortress had already been flung far behind, receding at several hundred kilometers per second, and the speed was still increasing!

"Hold on tight, don't be thrown off by the gale wind."

The voice of the Golden-Winged Great Peng came through.

At this moment, he was no longer in human form but had transformed into a Golden-Winged Great Peng.

Obviously, taking on the demonic form best displays speed, which is faster than his human shape.

His size isn't large, with a wingspan of just over five meters; he has already cultivated to the realm where he can freely change his body size. Otherwise, according to his realm, a true immortal–level Golden-Winged Great Peng would have a wingspan of at least over a thousand meters.

Xiao Feng rode on the Golden-Winged Great Peng's back, gripping the bird's back with both hands to stabilize his body.

Although they said there was a gale wind, in fact there was nothing; the Golden-Winged Great Peng's strength is strong, having already split the airflow, making the bird's back very comfortable.

"Lord of Jinpeng Island, what kind of immortal is your old rival, and what abilities does he have?" Xiao Feng began to inquire about the opponent's information.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng said: "That old fellow cultivated in the early years of the Taiyi Dynasty, relying on deceit and trickery to obtain treasures to boost himself—his methods are despicable. Later he tricked an old friend of my demon clan, drained his essence and energy, and formed a deadly feud with me. I mobilized connections and allied with various demon cultivators to attack him; knowing he couldn't win, he fled to an overseas secret realm to hide, and has not shown his face for ten thousand years."

Deceit and trickery…

Looks like even cultivators of immortals and demons need to install anti-fraud software!

"Ten thousand years…… such a long time, he couldn't possibly have broken through to become a Golden Immortal, could he?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask.

Golden-winged Great Peng replied: "Impossible. As soon as anyone breaks through to the Golden Immortal realm, whether human or demon, all the powerhouses of the Nine Provinces will sense it. Moreover, once cultivation reaches the later stages, time loses its meaning; talent limits one's steps, how far one can go is predestined by heaven. Wanting to defy heaven is not easy."

"I see……"

In that case, experts of the Golden Immortal realm should be known worldwide; there's no way to stay low-key.

But as for talent…… how would one judge that?

For demon cultivators it's simple; basically you can tell from the bloodline. The level cap for a sixth‑stage bloodline is 1000, seventh stage 1500, eighth stage 2000, and ninth stage has the potential to become a being between a Venerable and a Dao Ancestor, with the level possibly exceeding 3000!

For humans…… does it refer to elemental affinity on the divine spark?

I don't know how the Nine Provinces cultivators view attributes of the Nascent Soul, but the talent classification is probably also related to Nascent Soul strength.
