Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 311: Chapter 308 Nine-Headed Snake
 

Qin Feng felt that he had already spent quite some time outside and needed to hurry back to the church, otherwise returning too late would certainly prompt questions.

So, he said, “Daoist Fellow, you are injured now, so you should rest well first, and once your injuries recover, we can make another appointment to discuss in detail.

However, since you have shown your face before the high ranks of the Light God Church, you will need to be careful and cautious in the future. Do not expose your whereabouts; otherwise, given the extreme style of the Light God Church towards heretics, I fear they will constantly hunt you down.”

“Hunt me down?”

Xiu Xin snorted coldly, “They made me so embarrassed last time, it’s already good enough that I haven’t gone looking for trouble with them, and they dare to pursue me?

Rest assured, Daoist Fellow, with my methods, as long as I don’t encounter that Holy Knight-level expert from before, no one else will be able to catch me.”

Qin Feng nodded his head, strongly agreeing.

In the Cultivation World, there are countless mysterious techniques, and the tactics of the disciples of the Ghost Controlling Sect are particularly unpredictable, something that Qin Feng had witnessed before and indeed could not be compared by the knights and mages of this world.

However, this does not mean that the cultivation methods of this world have no merit.

Just like the Druid’s Transformation Technique, or the Light Element Magic of the Light God Church, each has its unique aspects.

Therefore, he still advised, “Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin, do not be careless, the cultivation system of the Light God Church isn’t like the Pure Yang, but it is an extremely extreme path of light, which tolerates not the slightest impurity, and is therefore most restraining against evil power.

If you face someone from the Light God Church in the future, do not easily use Ghost Items and Zombies; otherwise, you may well suffer losses.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Daoist Fellow.”

Xiu Xin spoke gravely, “In the previous battle, I have already seen that those people from the Light God Church indeed restrain the Ghost Items I cultivate, which caught me off guard and resulted in a severe injury to my Lifebound Spiritual Ghost, or I wouldn’t have been without a chance to escape.”

Had his Lifebound Spiritual Ghost not been severely wounded by the Holy Knight Lord Doro, even if Xiu Xin had been captured, he could still have used the Ghost Dao Escape Technique to dissolve into nothingness, breaking free from the chains and finding an opportunity to escape.

Precisely because of personal experience, he had a clear understanding of the power of the Light Element.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t too worried, for power counteraction also depends on circumstances, just as water counters fire, yet confronted with a stronger Spiritual Fire, water can still be boiled and evaporated.

Therefore, in the Cultivation World, there are many Cultivators who practice Fire Element Techniques who are powerful enough to slay Cultivators practicing Water Element Techniques.

All in all, it’s about the comparative strength between both parties and their respective combat abilities.

The disciples of the Ghost Controlling Sect, although they are best at commanding Ghost Items in combat, aren’t limited to just Taming Objects – after all, they are still Cultivators who can use various spells and Divine Skills and understand the ritual of refining Magical Treasure Divine Weapons. They are not as easily controlled by the Light God Church as the Undead Mages of this world.

Moreover, there are also many strong Undead Mages who can likewise rely on a vast number of Undead to kill the priests and knights of the Light God Church. As long as one’s strength is strong enough and one’s methods are numerous, there is no such thing as absolute restraint.

“Since you are aware, Daoist Fellow, I won’t say much more.”

Qin Feng nodded his head and stood up to say, “Then I will leave first. I can’t stay at the Holy Mountain for long.

Let’s do this: this place is not safe to dwell in. You should find a safe place to rest properly. A month from now, let’s meet at Algu Mountain, outside of Iron Wall City. That is a buffer zone between the Light God Church and its various nations, and the nations that worship the Nature God System. Generally, members of the Light God Church wouldn’t dare to enter that area casually.

Although the Nature God System likewise does not favor the Undead Type Mages, they will not go out of their way to target them. Even if you use Zombies or Fierce Ghosts as your enemies, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

As far as I know, there should be some traces of Undead Mages there. You can also travel to the other countries that worship the Nature God System.”

Having said that, Qin Feng gave a brief overview of the distribution of the forces of the various churches to Xiu Xin, then informed him of the route to Algu Mountain.

“Thank you for the guidance, Daoist Brother.”

Xiu Xin bowed in gratitude, “As Daoist Brother is heading to Light Holy Mountain, it’s indeed not convenient for me to go there now, even if I did go, I wouldn’t be able to help you with anything and would only cause more trouble.

Thus, I’ll go to Algu Mountain first to wait for your arrival.”

At this point, his address for Qin Feng had become a little closer, changing from Daoist Fellow to Daoist Brother.

He took out a Communication Spirit Talisman from his Storage Bag and handed it to Qin Feng, “Daoist Brother, keep this talisman on you, and just activate it when you arrive. As long as I am within a thousand miles, I will receive your message.”

Although he was captured by the knights of the Light God Church and had some things on him taken away, those knights didn’t know the goods; they only took a few decorative items from him, mostly Magic Jewelry that Xiu Xin had prepared during his time in the Red Flame Demon Realm. However, they did not touch his Storage Bag. It was only that they felt the small bag was empty and thought there was nothing in it, so they didn’t care.

After all, knights had only heard of Space Rings, but not Storage Bags, which is why most of Xiu Xin’s belongings were preserved.

Qin Feng took the talisman, “Alright, then I will be going. Daoist Fellow, take care.”

“Take care.”

They bid each other farewell with a bow.

Qin Feng’s figure twisted, vanishing into the shadows as he headed toward the east of the city.

Watching Qin Feng once again display the Shadow Transformation Divine Power, Xiu Xin couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

Today, from meeting Qin Feng to now, he discovered Qin Feng had displayed several Divine Skills.

From the Earth Escape Divine Power that helped him escape, to the Healing Divine Power that treated his injuries, and now the Shadow Transformation Divine Power, that was already three skills.

However, Xiu Xin knew that Qin Feng must have more than just these three Divine Skills.

Because he had heard of Qin Feng’s fame outside the Mountain Gate of the Beast Taming Sect, and knew his Lifebound Spiritual Beast was the Exotic Species Spiritual Snake Ruyi Golden Snake, he guessed that Qin Feng must have at least one offensive Divine Skill.

After all, as a True Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, it would be impossible not to have at least one offensive Divine Skill.

Even thinking deeper, the fact that Qin Feng had made his body so small was likely also due to a Divine Skill.

So it seemed that he must have cultivated at least five Divine Skills.

You don’t realize the full extent until you start counting and then it’s truly surprising.

Only now did Xiu Xin recognize how formidable Qin Feng was.

Hearing what Qin Feng had said earlier, the fact that he could possess so many Divine Skills just a few days after advancing to the Golden Core stage showed how profound his foundations must be.

It seemed that he himself needed to make more effort, otherwise, once he advanced to the Golden Core stage, he was likely to fall behind Qin Feng immediately.

Xiu Xin, although usually detached, now felt a surge of competitiveness.

As a True Disciple of a Major Sect, he would absolutely not allow himself to be greatly inferior to others.

Therefore, he sat down cross-legged, took out a Spirit Pill, and swallowed it, preparing to quickly recover from his injuries.

While Xiu Xin was figuring out how to catch up with Qin Feng’s cultivation process, Qin Feng had already returned to the church in the east of the city.

Looking at the square that, although corpses had been removed, still had many bloodstains remaining, a look of shock crossed his face, “What happened here?”

He grabbed a young Priest and asked, “I just stepped out for a moment, how did it become like this here?

Wasn’t there only one Undead Mage burned to death today? How come it looks as if many people died?”

His face was full of bewilderment and shock, acting as if the earlier events had nothing to do with him at all.

“Indeed, many people died.”

The young Priest said, “Not long ago, the accomplice of that Undead Mage used a strategy to divert Archbishop Doro and Lord Doro and then forcefully rescued the Undead Mage, killing many Guardian Knights in the process. Even the Knight Leader and Golden Knight in his late stage, Aleksey, was severely injured by the attacker who came to rescue people.

If it weren’t for several Red Robed Bishops joining forces to cast a level ten Light Magic Great Healing Technique, Aleksey might have died as well.”

For some reason, Qin Feng always felt a hint of schadenfreude in the young Priest’s tone, along with a bit of relief.

However, he had no desire to delve deeper; the mental activities of a minor Priest had nothing to do with him.

He just expressed his astonishment, “Even a Golden Knight can be severely injured with one strike. Even a Holy Knight would not possess such formidable strength.

Could it be that a Demigod strong enough to rescue the Undead Knight came?”

“How could that be? Would a Demigod come to save a mere Undead Mage?”

The young Priest scoffed mockingly before saying, “According to Doro Holy Knight, it likely was just a Quasi-Sword Saint level strong one.”

“No way?”

Qin Feng exclaimed, “A Quasi-Sword Saint can defeat a Golden Knight in the late stage with one move?”

“Heh, it’s just Aleksey being careless.”

The young Priest laughed and said, “That guy was overconfident in his combat power and so was somewhat contemptuous. That’s why he was easily defeated. Now, he’s lost face.”

“Hm, indeed a loss of face. A Quasi-Sword Saint is still within the range of a Golden Warrior, yet Aleksey, as a Knight in the late Golden stage, couldn’t even withstand a single blow. It will probably become the humiliation of his life.”

Qin Feng was blunt in belittling the Knight Leader.

The more powerful he made out the person who rescued the evil Undead Mage to be, the less likely it was for anyone to suspect him.

“That’s why Priests are better,”

the young Priest continued, “Us Priests don’t need to charge to the front in battle, we just need to cast magic from the rear, so it’s rare for us to encounter danger.

Unlike those Guardian Knights, who will be the first to charge into battle, and every year, a lot of them die as a result.”

Listening to him, Qin Feng immediately understood the young man’s mindset; it was nothing but mutual disdain between different power systems.

Mages looked down on the rude Warrior System, while Warriors despised the weak physique of Mages.

However, in battle, it was indeed usually the Knights protecting the Priests, ensuring a very low death rate among Priests.

After chatting with the young Priest outside for a while, Qin Feng returned to the church and, led by the Attendant, went to the room that had been arranged for him beforehand.

The next two days passed without incident for Qin Feng. Although the Archbishop unleashed his fury due to the loss of many subordinates, sending people to conduct a thorough search of the entire city, it was unlikely to affect Qin Feng.

As for Xiu Xin, as long as he could restore some True Yuan, he was able to use various special means to easily avoid the Knights’ search.

Two days later, Qin Feng joined the massive group gathered from different parts of the Orton Kingdom—thousands of people—headed to the heartland of the Light God Church, the Light Holy Mountain.

The Light Holy Mountain was located in the west of the continent, at the edge of the Endless Sea. The climate there was mild all year round, the land fertile and suitable for living.

Therefore, not only was the Light Holy Mountain there, but also a large population of faithful Cult Members.

However, the journey from the Orton Kingdom to the Light Holy Mountain would pass through several states and take a long journey.

This group, not only numerous and powerful with many Guardian Knights and Priests, but also with the presence of powerful beings like Doro Holy Knight, was expected to reach the Holy Mountain smoothly without incident. Unexpectedly, an accident still occurred midway.

As their fleet was passing through a wide river, a snake head suddenly emerged from the underwater.

The snake head was huge, evidently belonging to a massive python-like Demon Beast.

Normally, this wouldn’t be an issue, as high-level Demon Beasts possess certain intelligence, and many level nine Demon Beasts were no less intelligent than humans. The Giant Dragon Clan, for instance, had a unique heritage.

The python head that rose from under the water merely glanced over from a distance without approaching to attack the Church’s transport fleet.

However, there were people idle and bored enough to tease the Giant Snake for fun, hoping to kill this high-level Demon Beast, obtain a high-level Demon Core, and strip its skin to make leather armor.

This is why high-level Demon Beasts were rarely seen within the Human Clan’s nations.

But, when the magic unleashed by a few overconfident Priests hit the Demon Snake, a terrifying scene ensued.

First, the Demon Snake let out an angry hiss, and then, suddenly, eight more snake heads rose from beneath the surface.
