Chapter 1680: with translation of chapter title

After wandering outside for two days, Xiao Feng still hadn't found many god-kings.

After thinking it over, he decided to go to the Myriad Phenomena Forest again.

The number of god-kings in the Myriad Phenomena Forest is clearly greater than elsewhere; sometimes you can run into them right at the entrance.

Moreover, He Xianzi also likes that place, wanting to go play with her demoness sisters.

Upon re-entering the Myriad Phenomena Forest, Xiao Feng didn't go far, deliberately releasing the aura of a mid-level godking and strolling near the entrance.

Not long after, his aura attracted the attention of some wild monsters.

"A mere mid-level godking dares to run wild in the Myriad Phenomena Forest—he's practically asking for death!"

The first to appear was a godking from the Qilin tribe, one of the eight great clans; he looked very cute and chibi, like a cartoon character, all green with a few blades of grass on his head.

Xiao Feng saw his name was Caotou Baobao, but his tone was nothing like a baby's—very fierce.

Caotou Baobao launched an attack, fitting its name—it had zero output.

Xiao Feng backhanded a slap, his physique unsealing progress increased by 2, encountering no obstruction.

Having witnessed his terror, the watching wild monsters scattered in a frenzy.

"Big brother, you're too scary..."

He Xianzi said softly.

Xiao Feng helplessly said: "I also want to be a bit more ordinary, but my strength doesn't allow it. Let's go, let's wander elsewhere—just don't attack the subordinates of Senior Xuan Die."

Among the three great demon kings of the Myriad Phenomena Forest, he only had a good relationship with Xuan Die; the other two he had merely met once before while waiting for Xuan Die at the entrance, with no friendship.

Considering they and Senior Xuan Die are both powerful members of the Calamity Demon tribe, Xiao Feng doesn't intend to act against them personally.

However, if he encounters some god-kings, he won't show mercy.

He Xianzi brought Xiao Feng flying through the Myriad Phenomena Forest, heading to places they hadn't been before.

The process went smoothly; in just half a day, under He Xianzi's extremely ostentatious provocation, eight god-kings appeared one after another and were slain by Xiao Feng.

Originally there were supposed to be nine, but one extra appeared.

Seeing his physique unsealing complete, Xiao Feng couldn't be bothered to fight more; he left directly, not killing the last one, leaving that Calamity Demon godking secretly feeling injured, thinking he was too weak and unworthy to cross blows with him.

"On the way, let's go hang out at Senior Xuan Die's place again; last time I wanted to inquire about Little Jianmu, but I left too fast and forgot."

After the unsealing conditions were met, Xiao Feng ordered He Xianzi to adjust the direction.

He Xianzi joyfully said: "Great, great—I love going to Little Jianmu the most!"

Xiao Feng couldn't help recalling the scene when she was summoned, her body bare and smooth.

Sigh, who knows what that guy and Zixi's gang of demonesses are up to all day!

But he also couldn't be bothered to care, after all she's not his wife.

He opened his attribute panel to check the traits of the next stage.

【Innate Dao Body】

Description: The foremost of the eight miraculous physiques in 'The Heavens', the strongest battle body; when cultivated to perfection it yields inconceivable power.

Unlock progress: Fifth stage

Current effect: Extra damage reduction 99.9%; HP and MP limits increased tenfold; free potential points gained on level-up increased tenfold; ignores realm suppression from a 1000-level gap; all damage increased tenfold; resonates with heaven and earth, law perception increased tenfold.

Next stage: Mahayana (trait: attack power increased tenfold)

Unlock condition: Level 800, create a fifth-stage secret art

Each stage of the Innate Dao Body is comparable to a very good talent.

Next is tenfold attack. Combined with his existing tenfold skill effect, that yields a hundredfold burst damage, tenfold damage amplification—equivalent to a total of one hundred thousandfold damage amplification effect.

In this regard, as long as he breaks through level 800, his panel damage will already surpass before in all aspects.

But these are merely material-level power; anything related to data is not the strongest.

What is truly powerful often cannot be expressed in numbers.

Enlightenment is the ultimate path!

……

After flying for three hours, Xiao Feng and He Xianzi arrived at Little Jianmu once again.

Queen Zixi remained as unrestrained as ever; upon seeing He Xianzi, she flashed a strange, wicked smile.

Xiao Feng could almost imagine the scene of those few demonesses frolicking in a room.

But… he's not interested at all!

Especially at Senior Xuan Die's hometown, he wouldn't dare have even a shred of interest!

Tossing He Xianzi once again to Zixi and the others, he flew straight to Senior Xuan Die's residence palace.

"Senior Cai Yi, how have you been these past few days?" Arriving at the gate of the Butterfly Emperor Palace, Xiao Feng greeted the guard sister.

Cai Yi gave a slight nod, said nothing, just as always like a block of wood.

"I'll go pay respects to the demon king senior."

Seeing her ignore him, Xiao Feng didn't want to bore himself; he entered the palace, bypassed the front hall, and went to the rear.

Senior Xuan Die's quiet chamber remained as before, giving a feeling of unchanging sameness.

The only thing that changes is Xuan Die's position.

Today she wasn't drinking tea; on the balcony side, she sat on a railing-less balcony, her legs dangling, below an abyss formed by the height of the myriad-ren god tree.

"How come you're here again?" she said, facing away from Xiao Feng without turning back.

That tone seemed both helpless and indulgent, making it hard to discern her current mental state.

Xiao Feng explained: "Last time I left in a hurry, there was something I forgot to ask the senior."

"Pah, lying—you obviously just came to see her!" The voice of Ta Ge echoed in his mind.

"Exactly, you deliberately left a pretext to meet again—Xiao Feng, you're not being honest, you even dare to scheme against a venerable!" The Tian Tian Bao Nang also chimed in.

Xiao Feng was speechless for a moment, really wanting to drag those two Supreme Treasures out and give them a beating.

Xuan Die couldn't hear his conversation with the Supreme Treasure, calmly asking, "What is it?" without even greeting him to sit down.

Xiao Feng stood and said, "It's about the Little Jianmu……Senior, you should have heard the legend of the Primordial Jianmu, right?"

"'Yeah, I've heard. What, you also have a Jianmu seed?' Xuan Die didn't turn her head, blowing in the wind, gazing at the distant scenery, absentminded."

Hearing her say the word 'also,' Xiao Feng knew his guess was correct.

"'Is your Little Jianmu one of the four great Jianmu seeds?' To confirm his guess, he still asked."

Xuan Die nodded slightly: 'Yes, this is a graduation gift my master gave me. Back then, the Primordial World's Chaos City collapsed; my master happened to be playing in this universe, so he casually snatched one. Afterwards he left the Virtual Universe, and only after nearly thirty thousand years did he return. His thirty thousand years are our thirty million years. After returning, he met me, saw I was pitiful, adopted me, and taught me many cultivation methods. In just over ten years, I reached the Main God Realm; he allowed me to graduate, leaving this seed for me to rely on for cultivation, and he will come back to see me many years later.'

Saying that, she paused for a moment.

"'Then what?' Xiao Feng asked.

Xuan Die shook her head slightly: 'Then my master disappeared and never appeared again. Over the past three hundred thousand years, the Little Jianmu has grown day by day, and my strength has also gradually increased, becoming a Venerable. This tree is crucial to my growth; you must not have designs on it, otherwise I will not let you off easily.'
