Chapter 1437

Outside the Transmission Tower.

Xiao Feng had just come out when Da Bai went up to him, asking in an eager tone: "Big brother, how did it go? How many floors did you climb? Did you get the strongest Secret Art?"

Ji Xingge also looked on curiously.

Xiao Feng gave a hehe smile: "Not bad, I made it to the 7th floor and got a 7th‑grade Secret Art."

"Ga?"

"Ah, seven floors? This..."

Da Bai and Ji Xingge were instantly dumbfounded.

"The guardian of the seventh floor is a Da Luo Realm powerhouse!" Ji Xingge exclaimed in shock.

"What? Da Luo Realm? Big brother, you can actually kill a Da Luo?" Da Bai let out a strange cry, so frightened his eyes were about to pop out.

Seeing the person and bird looking shocked, Xiao Feng's vanity was greatly satisfied.

He put on an act of profound calm and said: "Basic stuff, no need to be too surprised. Senior Ji, thanks for your sect's hospitality; I won't bother you further—see you later!"

Having fulfilled all his purposes for coming to Yunchu Shan, he next prepared to go see the Xuan Die Yaohuang.

Of course, before that there is still a dungeon round to clear; the intervening 20 days can be used to comprehend and learn the Xuan Wu Battle Body.

Ji Xingge came back from his shock, filled with awe, and clasped his hands: "Little friend, we'll meet again. Next time you come, just call my name three times outside the great formation, and I will appear to greet you."

He is the guest‑inviter of Yunchu Shan; Xiao Feng possesses outstanding talent, and although he hasn't taken a master, he is also qualified to frequently visit Yunchu Shan as a guest.

"Good, please convey my regards to Xun Shuang Xianzi."

Xiao Feng said no more, jumped onto Da Bai's back, and left directly using a return‑city talisman.

A flash of light, and his figure vanished on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already at the West Teleportation Array of Zhongzhou.

The Twelve Heavens Capital happens to be in western Zhongzhou, and Xiao Feng couldn't help thinking: "Those two old coots, the Woodcutter and the Angler, don't even care about me a bit—seeing me finish a fight and rush straight back, are they afraid I'll ask for favors?"

"I'll go visit them and see; if I can learn the Kai Tian Seven Swords, that'd be great; if not, I'll just ask for some equipment."

This time Qiongqi destroyed my wings and hat; the wings are irreplaceable, and it's probably hard to find such special gear to substitute.

But the hat… it's generic gear, so there's definitely one!

Swish!

Xiao Feng teleported again, heading for Tiandu City.

Thereafter he rode a celestial crane into the sky, flying toward the low hill at the center of the Twelve Heavens Capital.

After flying a while, he arrived.

Hovering above the low hill, he called out loudly: "Senior Woodcutter, junior has returned; please appear and meet me."

At that moment, there was no one else nearby.

The Woodcutter stepped straight out of the mountain, walking on air, and the Angler was at his side.

"You came back so fast—didn't you linger a while longer in the Void World with Xun Shuang Xianzi?" the Woodcutter said with a disrespectful, mocking laugh.

Xiao Feng replied: "It's not that I'm too strong and just happened to return by accident; plus, I'm eager to come to the Twelve Heavens Capital to bring you good news."

"Good news? Could it be…"

The two old men exchanged a glance, their expressions growing increasingly improper.

Xiao Feng hurriedly corrected: "I mean I received Yunchu Shan's acknowledgment, and the Wu Xin Dao Zun granted me a 7th‑grade Secret Art, which is even stronger than your complete version of the Kai Tian Seven Swords." He added a sarcastic tone.

"Uh…"

The two old men instantly felt embarrassed, then said somewhat unexpectedly: "It seems the Wu Xin Dao Zun thinks highly of you."

Xiao Feng hinted: "I don't know which is stronger, the Pangu Hongmeng or the Xuan Wu Battle Body; it would be great if we could compare them."

He had already hinted quite clearly.

Hearing this, the Angler gave a serious evaluation: "The Pangu Hongmeng is just a single killing stroke; alone it might be on par with the Xuan Wu Battle Body, but compared to the unparalleled Four Spirits Divine Body of ancient times, it's still far inferior."

Xiao Feng merely wanted to provoke the other side into seeing if he could learn the last three moves; he didn't expect this old coot to start nitpicking!

Moreover… what is the Four Spirits Divine Body? Could it be that the Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger also have a battle‑body form skill?

Before he could ask, the Woodcutter took up his old friend's thread and said to Xiao Feng: "The Wu Xin Dao Zun transmitting the Xuan Wu Battle Body to you is just a beginning. If you're lucky, you'll also master the Azure Dragon Battle Body, White Tiger Battle Body, and Vermilion Bird Battle Body, merging them into the Four Spirits Divine Body—then its power will be incomparable. Furthermore, if you go even further and learn the Four Fiends Demon Bodies, having the four gods and four demons coexist in one body could overturn heaven and earth, making you supreme within the universe."

Xiao Feng widened his eyes.

He had somewhat expected the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird battle bodies.

He hadn't expected there to also be a Four Fiends Demon Body!

"What are the four fiends of the Four Fiends Demon Body?" he asked.

The Woodcutter replied: "These four fiends refer to the four most vicious venerables that existed at the dawn of the myriad heavens' creation. They are: Kunpeng, Dijiang, Qiongqi, and Taotie. Among them, Qiongqi, Dijiang, and Taotie have all perished, leaving only faint bloodline traces. Qiongqi's apparition has appeared in Kyushu before, but later vanished."

Four Fiends! Qiongqi!

If saying that blowing up Qiongqi could possibly give a chance to obtain the Qiongqi Demon Body?

The present Qiongqi should be a descendant of the first Qiongqi from the dawn of the myriad heavens; its strength is obviously much weaker, making it entirely possible to hunt and slay!

"Senior, you mean Kunpeng hasn't perished and has lived until now? How old would that be, and what cultivation level?" Xiao Feng exclaimed in surprise.

The Woodcutter and the Angler both laughed.

They don't know how many years have passed, only that Kunpeng's strength has reached the pinnacle, chasing the Dao Ancestor, making it one of the most terrifying powers in the myriad worlds, the chief of the Spirit Bird clan's "Five Great Heavenly Venerables," an existence no one dares provoke.

However, its exact whereabouts are unknown to anyone; only a name remains in the world.

"Four Spirits Body, Four Fiends Body… tsk, interesting!"

One has to admit, Xiao Feng's heart was moved.

Compared to the Kai Tian Seven Swords, the physique of the Four Spirits and Four Fiends is obviously more worth pursuing.

Each of the eight physiques is a 7th‑grade Secret Art; when four are combined to become either the Four Spirits Divine Body or the Four Fiends Demon Body, one can immediately advance to an 8th‑grade Secret Art.

When the god and demon physiques coexist, the power increases even further, rivaling a 9th‑grade Secret Art!

What concept is this?

If he uses his ten-thousandfold talent, it would absolutely be far more terrifying than the original physiques of the Four Spirits and Four Feroces, and his attacks would be unstoppable!

"Thank you for your guidance, seniors. By the way, junior has a favor to ask this time." Xiao Feng said.

"What is it? Go ahead and speak." The two seniors wore kind expressions.

As long as it's not about seeking study, anything else can be discussed.

It's not that they're stingy and unwilling to teach; mainly, when they left Yunchu Shan, they were warned by Wu Xin Dao Zun not to teach Xiao Feng any sword techniques, or else—hmph.

Although I don't know what that 'hmph' entails, it's surely nothing good.

Xiao Feng grinned and said, "Seniors, in my battle this time with Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang, I fell into the void and then accidentally encountered the pursuit of Venerable Qiongqi. Although I managed to survive, some of my gear was damaged; I don't know if the two seniors could..."

The woodcutter and the fisherman were stunned again.

Being pursued by Venerable Qiongqi?

And he still came back alive!

What kind of ghost story is this?

Just what background does this kid have!

Both were shocked and remained silent for a moment.

After Xiao Feng asked a couple more questions, the woodcutter, with a strange look, said, "You... what kind of magic artifact do you want?"
