Chapter 1708: Successfully comprehended!

Go away, I'll pretend I never saw you.

Xiao Feng got the information he wanted and stopped making things difficult for the Vermilion Flame Southern Ming Bird.

The Myriad Tribulations Treasure Tower flew back and entered his forehead.

The Vermilion Flame Southern Ming Bird turned and flew back a few steps, intending to leave.

However, before leaving, she hesitated and couldn't help asking: "Young man, what exactly are you?"

Xiao Feng smiled faintly and replied: "I'm Xiao Feng, a relatively powerful human adventurer. Senior, thanks to your favor today I've obtained three-tenths of the origin; if you ever need help, come find me in the Chaos Divine Nation."

"Chaos Divine Nation..."

The Vermilion Flame Southern Ming Bird silently remembered the place and said: "Thank you, young man, for sparing my life. If you can truly avenge me, I am willing to enter your nation as a totem spirit beast and guard your land forever."

Having spoken, she turned into a red streak and vanished into the horizon, disappearing after a few teleports.

"Totem spirit beast..."

Xiao Feng pondered the term and asked: "Tower Brother, what is that?"

The Myriad Tribulations Treasure Tower replied in a speechless tone: "Don't ask me; not knowing this basic knowledge is shameful to be grouped with!"

"Uh..."

Xiao Feng felt awkward.

But after thinking, he could roughly guess it meant a national guardian divine beast.

The Vermilion Flame Southern Ming Bird left; her arrival was sudden, her departure hasty.

This was an unexpected gain: not only did it deliver the origin bloodline He Xianzi needed, it also brought Xiao Feng an important piece of information.

"Da Bai can finally be happy now."

He summoned He Xianzi.

After He Xianzi appeared, she looked left and right, then cautiously asked: "Big brother, did she leave?"

"She left. You stupid bird, with me here you're still this scared—do you look down on me?"

"No, no, big brother you misunderstood! It's mainly the bloodline suppression that makes me instinctively fear her!" He Xianzi hurriedly explained, but her explanation wasn't very convincing.

"An eighth-grade bloodline fears an eighth-grade bloodline; I believe your nonsense! Here, take this—quickly break through your bloodline, I want to ride a ninth-grade spirit beast like Feng Feng Shi!"

Xiao Feng handed her three crimson spirit feathers.

Upon seeing them, He Xianzi exclaimed joyfully: "Wow! Innate spirit feathers! Big brother, you're my real brother!"

Seeing the hope of breakthrough, she immediately snatched the feathers, ran to the side, and eagerly began absorbing them.

Xiao Feng couldn't be bothered with that noisy stupid bird, and continued sitting quietly to restore his mana.

While cultivating, he also communicated with the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Tower, asking: "Tower Brother, just how strong is the Kunpeng?"

The Myriad Tribulations Treasure Tower replied: "I'm not sure of the specifics either; although it's called one of the Four Ferocious alongside the Old Glutton, there's no substantial connection. The Kunpeng is immensely mysterious—like a divine dragon showing its head but not its tail; no one knows where its lair is. Over countless years, I've only formally seen it once, but that was thirty million years ago in the primordial era, and it's certainly different now."

The place the Vermilion Flame Southern Ming Bird just mentioned is also not the Kunpeng's lair, merely one of its temporary palaces.

The Vermilion Flame Southern Ming Bird didn't say what she'd endured, but it's easy to see she was probably bullied badly and has developed a psychological shadow.

"The name Four Ferocious comes from the primordial era; it's a title summarised by countless beings of that time. Qiongqi's ferocity lies in 'evil', Taotie's in 'eating', and Emperor Jiang's in 'killing'." said the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Tower.

"And the Kunpeng?" Xiao Feng asked.

Tower Brother said: "The Kunpeng... is utterly wicked, touching everything. The Old Glutton once said he'd eat anything, but if he met the Kunpeng, he might himself be eaten, so he's always avoided that fellow."

Xiao Feng let out a sigh.

It seems the physiques of the Four Gods and Four Demons aren't so easy to obtain.

Qiongqi is fine; now I can kill it instantly.

But regarding the holy beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird—and those two ferocious fellows, Emperor Jiang and Kunpeng, we have no clue whatsoever.

"By the way, why didn't you ask about the Vermilion Bird's whereabouts just now?" the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Tower asked him.

The Vermilion Bird is also of the spirit bird clan, and moreover the supreme ancestor of the Vermilion Flame Southern Ming Bird; the latter's bloodline is precisely that of the Vermilion Bird.

Xiao Feng replied: "The Vermilion Bird is her foster mother; if I asked her directly she definitely wouldn't say. Besides, the Four Sacred Beasts have a good reputation and their movements aren't especially mysterious; when I want to find them later, I'll naturally be able to."

"Tch, just say you forgot, acting like you're so sure of yourself." the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Tower scoffed.

Xiao Feng felt helpless.

This time he really didn't forget; to find the Four Sacred Beasts, just ask Senior Mysterious Butterfly—it's easy to find.

He mainly thought the Four Sacred Beasts have a good popular reputation; suddenly going to kill them would be somewhat inappropriate. Moreover, lacking the two great ferocious spirits Kunpeng and Emperor Jiang as balance, the Four Gods Four Demons battle body cannot be complete, which isn't very meaningful to him, so he isn't in a hurry to inquire.

After sitting quietly for a while, his mana had mostly recovered.

Xiao Feng rose, clasped his hands together, then slowly spread them apart, condensing a treasure sword.

The Dao Mark Scarlet attached to it, a flash shot up into the sky.

"Not bad, the speed increased a bit more." the Myriad Tribulations Treasure Tower commented.

"Hehe, practice makes perfect!" Xiao Feng felt delighted.

After several practices, he can now control the casting time within two seconds, which is very fast.

That is, as soon as his hands clap together and then separate, the sword forms.

Then the Dao Mark Scarlet appears, scattering points onto the blade at extreme speed, merging into one.

In just two seconds, an output of 500 million divine power—setting that aside, the efficiency of this surge of divine power already surpasses 99.99% of players server-wide!

A reservoir can hold lots of water, but if the pipe isn't big enough, the flow won't be fast!

Xiao Feng is just a big pipe, with huge output!

Shush!

Shush!

Pluck!

Streaks of purple-gray divine swords shot through the void, causing explosion after explosion in the high skies; each time a spatial rift appeared, ravaging this world.

Finally, after releasing the Secret Art ten times in a row, a system prompt sounded!

【Ding~ You have completed the task of "creating a Secret Art above the 5th rank", met the conditions for unsealing the Innate Dao Body, and successfully unlocked the sixth-stage trait of the Innate Dao Body!】

At this moment, the dynamic he had long awaited finally arrived.

In an instant, the Innate Dao Body runes within his body underwent a subtle change, feeding back tyrannical power to him.

His already extremely domineering attribute suddenly increased tenfold, reaching a new height—289 billion divine elemental power!

"System, what rank is this Secret Art of mine?"

The system prompt did not display the Secret Art's rank, so he had to ask himself.

Usually the system does not respond to questions, but it does when creating a skill!

【Your self-created Secret Art contains the Innate Dao Body and an unknown power, its structure is ingenious, it contains the ultimate truth of the universe, its explosive effect is equivalent to an 8th-rank Secret Art, and it still has room for improvement.】

The system gave him an answer.

After hearing this, Xiao Feng froze completely.

【5 chapters, a small extra update wave. The new book's popularity has been bleak lately, soon unable to afford meals. Please everyone support more, background listening duration, if you want Ten Thousand Times extra updates, you can also support there, and here we will add more!】
