Chapter 517: Breakthrough, Martial Dao Will!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bei Feng stood not far away, his mood heavy.
Is it wrong for humans to kill Demonic Beasts? And is it wrong for Demonic Beasts to kill humans? Do they deserve their death?
Bei Feng looked at the scene before him, his thoughts heavy.
Humans are not wrong, and neither are the Demonic Beasts. The fault lies in that one is too weak, and was unable to control their own destiny. I do not pursue right or wrong, only freedom!
Bei Feng seemed to have been lost in his thoughts for hundreds of years, but it’d only been an instant in reality.
Now that his thoughts had been sorted out, the mist in his heart disappeared. Even his aura began to change slightly.
His sleeves fluttered lightly as he rode the wind.
My Martial Dao Will has grown stronger by a large degree. If it was likened to a seed in the past, that seed has now germinated.
Bei Feng could feel that his Martial Dao Will had strengthened, and a great joy flashed in his heart.
After such a long time, his Martial Dao Will had finally broken through; it was even more difficult to advance than his cultivation.
If he was cut by that weapon fragment again, he wouldn’t need to pay such a large price to exterminate the Martial Dao Will from it.
The moment he regained his senses, Shui Yuntian’s words had floated to his ears. Although Shui Yuntian was not looking at him, Bei Feng knew that he was speaking to him.
“Isn’t it the same for you?” Bei Feng replied as he looked calmly at the large numbers of cultivators in the distance, fighting each other over the spirit herbs.
“Audacious!”
A black-robed man behind Shui Yuntian stepped out, his sword leaving its sheath in an instant as he roared.
“Interesting. This Young Master’s family and influence are strong, so these herbs are just so-so in my eyes. But what about you? What’s the reason for your confidence?”
Shui Yuntian carried a smile on his face as he raised his hand, and motioned for the black-robed man to back off. For the first time, he turned his eyes towards Bei Feng.
“I am the reason for my confidence!” Bei Feng looked casually at Shui Yuntian, and turned to leave. One had to admit that this fellow’s looks were quite good. His appearance was prettier than even a lady, and his face carried a warm smile all the time. He was undoubtedly a lady-killer.
“Hur hur, is it arrogance? Or confidence?”
Shui Yuntian laughed lightly. Without giving the spirit herbs a second glance, he brought his men, and continued walking towards the mountain peak.
Bei Feng’s speed was not fast, and he did not meet any gangster rabbits along the way. It was as if they had all been scared because of the slaughter aimed against them, and didn’t dare to appear.
Shui Yuntian looked like he was taking a walk on a spring day as he walked leisurely, lagging far behind.
After picking their fill of the spirit herbs, the group of cultivators also hurried up the mountain. From what they could tell, the benefits at the top of the mountain had to be even greater!
The madly rushing cultivators quickly overtook Shui Yuntian and Bei Feng, disappearing into the distance.
This mountain was only several thousand zhang at its tallest. Without spending much effort, everyone quickly came within view of the mountain peak.
“What dense Ling Qi!”
“The Ling Qi here is extremely dense, so cultivating for a single day here is equivalent to several dozen days outside!”
“For there to be such dense Ling Qi, there must be a heavenly treasure here!”
The cultivators all exclaimed and gasped loudly as their eyes grew red with greed. The Heaven Earth Ling Qi here was so dense that it’d congealed into tangible mist.
“Do you know what is at the peak?” Shui Yuntian took a few steps forward, and walked side by side with Bei Feng.
“Celestial Emperor Bamboo!” Bei Feng tilted his head slightly, and continued walking leisurely.
Bei Feng’s expression was bland, but his head ached when he looked at this person. This fellow wouldn’t be gay, right? Why was he taking so much interest in me when there’s so many people around?
Even if this fellow wasn’t inclined in that way, it was definitely not a good thing that he was taking notice of him so much. Bei Feng did not want to be this person’s first target to destroy.
“Since you know already, are you thinking that you can snatch it out of my hands? Or do you think that you can steal it from those other cultivators?”
The first thing that anyone would think of when they looked at Shui Yuntian’s eyes was only the word: fox!
Bei Feng completely ignored Shui Yuntian, and increased his speed.
“How about joining my side? This Young Master can swear to let you break through to the Thousand Year King realm in the shortest time possible!”
Shui Yuntian’s speed was not lagging as he kept pace with Bei Feng easily.
“Not interested.”
Bei Feng did not even turn his head. His Martial Dao Will was to be unfettered, and listening to the orders of others was in direct opposition to that. If it was light, his Martial Dao Will might only be affected slightly. If it was too heavy, it would directly collapse.
Bei Feng’s body suddenly flashed, and he disappeared from sight.
A black-robed man appeared behind Shui Yuntian, and asked with some doubt, “Young Master, what do you think of this person?”
Their Young Master seemed a bit strange today.
“Will you believe me if I tell you that he’s a genius?”
An imperceptible smile flashed across Shui Yuntian’s face as he stood silently on the spot.
“A genius?”
The black-robed man shook lightly as disdain flooded his heart. Such a person can be called a genius?
Seeing the black-robed man’s doubtful expression, Shui Yuntian did not bother to explain. Instead, he sighed lightly in his heart. Martial Dao Will, huh... that’s the key to breaking through into the Thousand Year King realm.
Shui Yuntian calmed down, and commanded lightly, “Let’s begin.”
The group of black-robed men nodded, and chorused, “Yes!”
“Omnidirectional Organisms Formation, rise!”
The one-hundred-plus black-robed men pulled out a small black flag each, and threw them out in all directions!
The black flags shot out in an instant, disappearing into the air.
Waves of seemingly illusory and tangible ripples surged out, wrapping around a quarter of the mountain peak!
From the outside world, this mountain peak seemed to have completely disappeared.
“Although this Omnidirectional Organisms Formation is only an imitation of the stronger thing, it’s still something that ordinary Thousand Year Kings can forget about breaking,” Shui Yuntian said softly as he brought his people onto the mountain peak.
At this time, a large group of cultivators was standing atop the mountain peak, staring dumbly at the vast medicinal garden before them.
At the same time, there were several hundred gangster rabbits staring unflinchingly with red eyes at this group of unwelcome visitors.
A thick blood stench drifted from the mountain peak; the large patch of spirit herbs was all emanating the same bloody smell!
The soil beneath the spirit herbs was completely red, taking on the color of congealed blood!
Deep in the medicinal garden, a two meter tall purple gold bamboo could be seen, standing sturdily and vigorously. A gangster rabbit with fur like glistening crystals sat beneath the bamboo.
“Hit me, I want to see if I’m dreaming,” a peak level Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer cultivator said while his mouth hung wide open.
“Pa!”
A crisp slapping sound rang out—without waiting for his friend to respond, he directly smacked the latter across the face as he mumbled, “Forget it, I’ll hit you instead; is it painful?”
The cultivator who got slapped out of nowhere simply nodded dully as his eyes remained glued to the medicinal garden, and exclaimed, “Painful!”
“Si! This isn’t a dream!”
It wasn’t clear who said it first, but an uproar quickly burst out!
“Dragon Blood Grass!”
“Succubus Flower!”
“That’s an Earth Fire Vine, and there’s even the Cliffless Wood!”
The names of all the spirit herbs here tumbled out of everyone’s mouth. Any of these herbs had a value exceeding tens of millions dollars. They could only be encountered, and not sought!
“That’s a Calamous Devil Leaf! A single stalk can unlock a person’s potential, allowing them to advance through the Hundred Year realm rapidly; it’s useful even for Thousand Year Kings who’d formed their own Dan! A single stalk is worth several hundred millions!” a cultivator roared with excitement. The large patch of Calamous Devil Leaf before them numbered in the hundreds!
But after his energetic roar, that cultivator began to get the feeling that something was quite off. Why was it so quiet, and nobody was speaking?
Turning around, he momentarily jumped with shock. “Did everybody get possessed?” That person looked with awe at the multitude of expressions among the crowd. Some were filled with crazed joy, some with worry; many people’s faces were filled with resolution, while others radiated powerful killing intent.
“Celes... Celestial Emperor Bamboo!”
“That’s a divine treasure, oi! It’s a powerful enough treasure to raise a superpower-level faction!” a cultivator cried out shakily; from the agitated look on his face, he looked like he would drop dead with a heart attack at any moment.
“Kill!”
It wasn’t clear who made the first move, but a savage battle instantly burst out!
The cultivators were not only fighting against the gangster rabbits, but they were also hacking madly at the people around them! In that moment, everybody seemed to have gone crazy!
This was a heavenly opportunity; even if there was a Thousand Year King present, the crowd would still dare to swing their blades and rush over!
It was the Celestial Emperor Bamboo, a heavenly treasure, ah! This was a treasure that’d exceeded the worth of gold and silver; it was something that the masses would spare no expenses to obtain!
The precious spirit herbs that everyone had been fighting over were completely ignored in this moment, and even destroyed recklessly in the fight. However, nobody felt any heartache over those spirit herbs.
Bei Feng felt a strong urge to laugh upon witnessing this scene. Those people did not care about the valuable spirit herbs on the ground, and were all so fixated on the Celestial Emperor Bamboo. Right now, the Celestial Emperor Bamboo was like a blade that hung above everyone’s head. Whoever touched it would die.
The truly clever individuals were the ones who skirted the perimeters of the fight and were working on digging up as much spirit herbs as they could. Even if they couldn’t obtain the Celestial Emperor Bamboo, they would not leave empty handed.
Countless gangster rabbits were slain, and even people whom the cultivators called brothers and treated even closer than real siblings were stabbing each other in the back constantly.
“Keke, everyone seems really excited, but are all of you idiots?” A voice suddenly rang out, causing the mountain peak to shake. Everyone stopped fighting, and looked towards the source of the sound.
“...” Bei Feng.
Seeing everyone turn towards him with red eyes, Bei Feng cursed speechlessly in his heart. “What’re you all looking at me for? It’s not me who said that.”
A group of people walked up behind Bei Feng. Shui Yuntian held a peach-blossom-patterned fan in his hands, fanning himself pretentiously.
“Keke, what are you all looking at? I’m talking to all of you! Forgive my straightforward words, but everyone, you’re really all idiots!” Shui Yuntian took a look around, and his eyes narrowed into slits as he shook his head.
“Oh? I forgot about you, you’re the exception.” Shui Yuntian smiled, and looked at Bei Feng.
Bei Feng’s face darkened immediately. Wasn’t this equivalent to directing everyone’s hate to him?
As expected, Bei Feng instantly felt numerous nefarious gazes turning to him.
Bunch of retards. They saw that that group’s strength was powerful, and they didn’t dare to offend them, so they instead turned their hate onto me . Bei Feng snorted coldly as his lips twitched.
A half-step Thousand Year King stood out, and asked aggressively, “What is the meaning of young master’s words?”
From the looks of it, he would immediately attack if Shui Yuntian’s words did not sit well with him.
The half-step Thousand Year King realm was a very unique stage. They were not as strong as Thousand Year Kings, but even 600-700 peak Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer cultivators would not be a match for them.
Although Shui Yuntian’s group did not seem easy to offend, this half-step Thousand Year King realm expert did not fear them at all. In front of the temptation of a Celestial Emperor Bamboo, it didn’t matter how illustrious one’s identity was. As long as their answer was not satisfactory, they would immediately get surrounded and attacked.
“Look over there, there’s still one gangster rabbit that hadn’t made a single move. Yet, all of you are already fighting among yourselves.”
Shui Yuntian raised a slender and as white as jade finger, and pointed ahead. A gangster rabbit with dark red fur was still sitting motionlessly under the Celestial Emperor Bamboo. Its eyes were closed, and although the sound of the fighting was shockingly high, it did not even twitch a muscle in response.
