Chapter 465: Frail Little Fox

　　Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

　　The three people felt that Bei Feng was just a junior, and had no reason to dare to speak like that to them!

　　“Hmph!”

　　Ling Xu snorted coldly, instantly quieting the three fuming experts.

　　“Since when did martial experts talk about age?! The few of you, the older you grow, the more backwards you become!”

　　Ling Xu did not give the three fellows any face as he scolded them fiercely.

　　“His age is many times smaller than ours, and his strength is not even stronger than ours!” one grumbled in an unappeased manner.

　　The other two did not say anything, but it was apparent that they thought this way as well. They simply could not understand why Ling Xu would speak for an outsider.

　　“You really think so? Although we have never exchanged blows with Bei Feng, I can sense that his strength is not beneath that of any of us! And when we saw him three months ago, even I could feel a slight pressure from him. Let me tell you, if I were to fight him right now, my chances of victory would only be around 40-60!”

　　Ling Xu’s words were heavy and solemn. Bei Feng’s improvement was simply too rapid, to a point that even Ling Xu who’d lived for several hundred years felt it was inconceivable!

　　“So what if he’s slighty stronger than expected? Even if it’s 40-60, if you add us in, he wouldn’t even have the chance to run!” another person grumbled unwillingly. He knew that Ling Xu would not lie about such matters.

　　“I meant that I’m the 40 percent, while he’s the one with 60 percent chance of winning! And don’t forget about the group of experts with him as well! Even if all of us take action together, the best result would be both sides suffering heavy casualties. But the more probable result would be that all of us would be wiped out.”

　　Ling Xu originally did not plan on saying all this, but he was afraid that if he didn’t lay everything out plainly for them, the three experts would go and offend Bei Feng. At that time, they wouldn’t even know how they died!

　　Silence descended heavily on the gloomy, dark underground space. Other than Ling Xu, the other 11 of the 12 Kunlun Devils had been shocked mute.

　　Ling Xu had to admit that as one grew older, their minds would become more stubborn, and they couldn’t accept many things. Such a mentality would easily invite a disaster upon themselves. Ling Xu naturally did not want to see anything happening to these people whom he’d known for hundreds of years.

　　“Alright, we understand. The next time we see him, the three of us will apologize personally.”

　　The three no longer dared to be stubborn, although some bitterness could be heard in their words. They’d lived for so many years, but they’d ended up being inferior to a yound kid. In that moment, it felt like they’d lived their lives in vain.

　　In a short 30 years, Bei Feng had already walked through a path that most people would need to spend an entire lifetime to reach, even climbing to the peak!

　　On Blue Spirit Mountain, Bei Feng walked out of a metal-cast room, his body drenched with sweat. The matter earlier had only been a warning from him.

　　If it had been a year and a half ago, Bei Feng might have had a bit of wariness against the 12 Kunlun Devils. But right now, he had sufficient confidence that he could outmatch the whole lot of them!

　　Although his current cultivation level was still at the peak Controlled Dan primary stage, Bei Feng’s physical body had already surpassed the Controlled Dan primary stage in strength!

　　Even if he didn’t have Soaring Rainbow anymore, Bei Feng had full confidence in beating Ling Xu into a kneeling position within a hundred moves!

　　The moment he walked out of the metallic room, Bei Feng felt his entire body lighten greatly, as if a person who’d been carrying a heavy burden for a long time had finally shurgged off all the weight.

　　A digit flashed outside the door of the metallic room, showing the number 10!

　　This was not a simple room, but a gravity training studio. The gravity here could help a person to train more effectively, perfectly molding every part of their body, including the internal organs!

　　Bei Feng had been practicing under 10 times the normal gravity recently. Although he had not broken through in cultivation, his body had strengthened, and even his weak internal organs had grown stronger!

　　The internal organs were usually only refined at the Void Gu stage. When one’s internal organs were perfectly refined, and the body has achieved flawless fusion with their essence and energy, it would reach an extreme limit where, when broken, one would be able to shrug off the chains of the body and birth a Transcendent spirit!

　　Bei Feng’s current battle strength was now several times greater compared to when he just broke through to the Controlled Dan realm!

　　His body’s capability had long exceeded the requirements to break through to the next level. However, he had been repressing his cultivation, not daring to break through recklessly. His mental power had already reached the 1 Moon grade. He could keenly sense that it would be extremely dangerous to break through right now, with the suprresion of the entire heavens and earth weighing on him!

　　With his current foundations, he would be able to break through to the Controlled Dan middle stage the moment he arrived at a place that did not have this suppression. Even reaching the Controlled Dan late stage in one shot was not impossible!

　　“But this martial will thing is really too hard to temper. There isn’t even any proper example of other people’s cultivation experience for me to refer to,” Bei Feng muttered with a light sigh. His martial will was as weak as when he’d just formed it, and it hadn’t grown at all through the past year and a half.

　　Bei Feng had also gone through many ancient books and records on the topic, but he hadn’t found many things that were relevant at all.

　　Everybody’s martial will was different and unique; some were defense-oriented, some were sharp, and some had very prolonged effects. Even more unfortunate was that too much of the records had been lost. Bei Feng’s martial will was also considered more unique, so the difficulty of finding a record which contained similar cultivation experiences was akin to looking for a needle in the ocean!

　　“Meep, meep!”

　　The little fox trotted out slowly from the side, and hugged onto Bei Feng’s pants. It was not that it didn’t want to jump onto his shoulders. It just did not have the strength crawl up there to play with Bei Feng anymore.

　　The little fox’s glossy hair had fallen out long ago, only leaving its pinkish bare skin. Its originally bright and curious eyes were now cloudy and tired.

　　At this point, it looked like an elderly person walking closer and closer to the coffin.

　　Bei Feng felt his heart ache deeply as he carried the little fellow onto his shoulder and stroked its forehead lightly.

　　Bei Feng smiled and asked in a soft voice, “Didn’t I tell you to rest well inside? Why’d you run out here again?”

　　“Meep!”

　　The little fox craned its neck and meeped in a slightly cracked voice, as if it wanted to engrave Bei Feng’s face into its mind.

　　Bei Feng felt a lump rise in his throat as he fell silent. The little fox was already nearly unable to hold on any longer. It’d only been able to hang on until now because Bei Feng had been nourishing it every day with his own blood and Qi.

　　This was also the reason why the little fox was only identified as a Grade 5 Demonic Beast by the Myriad Heavens Fishing System even though its ability was so powerful.

　　The little fox itself was simply too weak—although its ability was powerful, it could still be killed easily before its ability was activated!

　　As such, the ability actually had very little practical use. At this time, Bei Feng could hear the pleading tone in the little felow’s voice.

　　It wanted him to stop caring abut it, it was very tired, and it wanted to go.

　　“Sleep, sleep, you’ll feel better when you wake up.”

　　Bei Feng gently caressed the little fox as his bountiful blood and Qi energy seeped into its body, gently circulating through it.

　　Throughout the last year, Bei Feng had spent a large amount of time with the little fox. In the beginning, the little fox had only accepted Bei Feng because it had been lonely. But Bei Feng realized that the time and concern he’d given it in return was really too little.

　　Perhaps the little fox was a large part of why Bei Feng had not brought the White Bear and the Tiger King back with him from Shennongjia the last time.

　　Although the two Demonic Beasts did not seem to have been willing to leave with him, he was confident that if he persisted a bit more and coaxed them again, they would definitely leave with him. But at the same time, he had to ask himself that if he really brought the two Demonic Beasts away, would he really have enough time to accompany them?

　　That was why Bei Feng had not insisted on bringing them back. At this moment, the little fox’s life force was already extremely frail. Nobody could tell when it would leave.

　　“Perhaps there’s a way to save you in the Myriad Worlds. I won’t give you up.”

　　Bei Feng seemed to be comforting the little fox, and also making a promise to himself.

　　With the little fellow in his arms, he returned to the villa. The little fox’s body was simply too weak, and wasn’t much stronger than a regular fox’s. Even using his blood and Qi to nourish it, he didn’t dare to do so for too long in case it got hurt!

　　At this time, Wang Wuyou, who’d left Mt Qingling, was looking at the endless wave of humans and vehicles, as well as the towering buildings with a stupefied expression on his face.

　　In his era, the Heaven Earth Lingqi had already started to dry out. He himself had ascended the throne at a young age in the period when countless experts had suddenly disappeared in the span of a single night.

　　The entire kingdom was in chaos, beset with both internal and external enemies. Wang Wuyou used his own abilities, capturing countless rebels of ethnic groups and ending war in his lands in one fell swoop. After that, he’d focused the resources of the entire kingdom to find a land where a dragon’s vein and a Yin vein coexisted. With that found, he directly threw the captured rebels into the land and refined their blood and flesh to complete his rebirth!

　　The departure of the countless experts as well as the declining Heaven Earth Lingqi had left Wang Wuyou with deep worries at the time.

　　But with his strength back then, there was no way he could have left with the other experts. Those that left had also done so in an extremely direct manner. In just a single night, all the core members of the large sects completely disappeared, leaving only a few unimportant weaklings.

　　Wang Wuyou activated the entire kingdom’s strength and forced his way into four great forbidden lands. These four lands were the most likely locations for people to leave the world. However, he did not find anything.

　　In the end, after setting up all kinds of measures to ensure that his kingdom would continue to thrive for a long time after his departure, Wang Wuyou directly began on his own plans.

　　Now that he’d awoken again, Wang Wuyou found out that his most dreaded prediction had come to pass. The Earth had really declined to the point where it resembled a dead planet. The Heaven Earth Lingqi was so thin that it caused one to despair!

　　His mental power surged outwards for 10 kilometers, but not a single martial cultivator appeared in his senses!

　　“Earth has already declined to such a state? What about my kingdom?”

　　As he looked at the endless stream of metal boxes running across the ground and the uncountable tall buildings towering into the sky, Wang Wuyou felt somewhat lost.

　　With a flash of his body, Wang Wuyou disappeared and appeared again in front of a young woman. As he grabbed onto her, his massive mental power surged into her sea of consciousness.

　　The young woman’s body trembled violently. Wang Wuyou closed his eyes lightly, previewing every single memory in her mind. Everything from her childhood till adulthood flashed through his eyes like a movie.

　　A moment later, he let go of the unlucky young woman who fell to the ground. A faint sadness hung on Wang Wuyou’s face.

　　“My Great Wu Empire has actually fallen?” Wang Wuyou mumbled lightly as his figure disappeared.

　　On the pavement, only the young woman was left, frothing at the mouth. Given her condition, she would most likely be dead in a short while. If she was lucky, she would survive, but her mind would be destroyed, leaving her mentally crippled. But all these were not something that Wang Wuyou would care about. The people afterwards would likely not be bothered by it as well, except for her grieving family.

　　At this time, Bei Feng was sitting leisurely with a book on geography, customs, and travels in his hands.

　　It wasn’t clear who penned the journal. With a single glance, it was obvious that the book had some years on it. It was old and tattered, and many places had been bitten through by bugs.

　　“What links does the Hangu Pass have with the Qin Emperor Mausoleum? According to Ling Xu, the mausoleum moves around constantly, and the place it will stop at this time is the Hangu Pass?”

　　Bei Feng read the introduction on Hangu Pass with interest.

　　Since ancient times, throughout eras long past, Hangu Pass had always been a geographical position that’d been given primary importance among priorities. Historically, it’d always been a land that’d been fought over by kingdoms and empires as a land that had to be obtained at all costs!

　　It was only in the modern era that it was finally removed from the spotlight, and turned into a tourism site.
