Chapter 473: Chapter 473 Shi Jinsuai

The brilliant frost-white light that had been shimmering on the body of the White Tiger vanished, and a cold sneer played on Shi Feng’s lips. With a mere thought, the White Tiger began to violently thrash and howl in agony within the void, roaring pitifully.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The White Tiger growled low at Shi Feng, as if begging for mercy.

After Shi Feng had just imprinted his seal within its body, the White Tiger was now entirely under his control, its life and pain merely at the whim of his thoughts.

Subsequently, Shi Feng stopped tormenting the White Tiger, and at the moment of its release, it let out a fierce roar before lunging toward Shi Feng, then dashed to his feet and prostrated, its white body bowing down to him.

It seemed that the Seventh-stage Venerable-Level White Tiger had acknowledged Shi Feng as its master after enduring his torture. However, White Tigers like this one, raised by the Ling Family, are often taught from a young age to be submissive.

Gazing at the prostrated White Tiger at his feet, Shi Feng stepped on its back and uttered a low command, "Go!" With that, the White Tiger carried Shi Feng away, bolting toward the north and streaking across the vast sky.

Outside the North City Gate, Long Chen, surrounded by a host of ministers, watched the silhouette of a tiger and a man pass through the void. However, the figure didn’t stop as it flew past and soon after, Shi Feng’s voice resonated in Long Chen’s mind: "Take good care of my mother, I’m leaving."

After conveying this thought to Long Chen with his Soul Power, the White Tiger beneath Shi Feng continued to sprint into the void ahead.

Down below, Long Chen, still encircled by civil officials and military generals, stood dumbfounded looking at the blue sky, watching that distant figure in the void, murmuring softly, "Are you leaving?"

For some reason, as Long Chen watched Shi Feng disappear into the distance, he felt a sensation, a premonition that after Shi Feng left this time, it would be a very long while before they met again.

Remembering Shi Feng, recalling the youthful, tender-faced boy he first met, contemplating his growth step by step, and all the events that had transpired due to his emergence, Long Chen still felt as if everything were nothing more than a dream.

Because of this young man’s arrival, everything had changed, completely altering his own destiny, granting him the power he had longed for day and night, even a far greater power than he’d ever imagined.

Back then, he had merely hoped that he could be content as the Monarch of a small country like the Yunlai Empire, but he never anticipated that not only would he become the ruler of a small country but as an Affiliated Country, it would even annex the Heavenly Mist Empire under this young man’s spate of slaughter.

Such an unthinkable feat was now a reality, happening to him.

"Stay safe, Young Master Feng! Thank you!" As the silhouette disappeared entirely into the void, Long Chen continued to stare unwaveringly in that direction of the sky, sincerely thanking him from the depths of his heart.

...

In the void, Shi Feng replaced the Blood-colored Battle Armor he had been wearing with a black hooded Black Robe. Facing the howling gales ahead, Shi Feng sat cross-legged on the back of the White Tiger, forming Seals with his hands, as Primordial Stones shot out from his right hand like machinegun bullets, subsequently exploding, leaving only purified Primordial Energy. It was swiftly absorbed by Shi Feng’s body and channeled into his Dantian.

Shi Feng had entered into Cultivation!

North of the Yunlai Empire, one finds the direction of the Tianlan Empire, one of the three great empires of the Eastern Domain. However, there are three empires in between, as well as a vast sea. Being located within the Eastern Domain, this sea is known as the East Sea!

The affairs of the Yunlai Empire had concluded, and under the effect of the Divine Medicine, Hong Yue’s injuries had already healed, requiring only some time to rest. Long Meng would also soon recover fully with the care provided by Mo Yang, leaving nothing much to be concerned about here.

To seek a breakthrough and to gain greater strength, Shi Feng decided to set out alone for the Tianlan Empire.

Ordered by Shi Feng, the White Tiger was running tirelessly through the sky, while Shi Feng sat cross-legged in silent cultivation, and time passed swiftly.

Months and years cycled round, and about a month later, Shi Feng, who was in the midst of cultivation, slowly opened his eyes. With a movement of his body, followed by a crackling sound like popping beans, the crisp sounds of his bones echoed continuously from within him.

Shi Feng could see underneath him, with the White Tiger’s running, there was a vast and turbulent ocean rolling beneath.

"Have we reached the East Sea?" Shi Feng murmured softly, looking down at the rolling waves. He had been in cultivation for an entire month, spending two hundred million Primordial Stones in the process, yet this amount had only half-filled his Dantian, which was still merging with the Sacred Flame.

That is to say, it took a month of cultivation and the continuous consumption of Primordial Energy for Shi Feng at the Four-star Martial Venerable Realm to accumulate only half of the energy needed to reach the Five-star Martial Venerable Realm.

The East Sea, a boundless ocean several times larger than the entire Eastern Domain, is home to countless Sea Beasts, countless species, and innumerable strange treasures.

There were legends of people encountering unmatched demon beasts in the East Sea, as well as finding Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that are extremely rare.

To fly out of the East Sea and reach the Tianlan Empire with the current speed at which the White Tiger was running, it would still take two to three months.

"Roar! Roar!" Suddenly, the White Tiger beneath Shi Feng let out two low roars towards the sea below.

Shi Feng’s eyes narrowed as he looked down at the sea, spotting a massive ship sailing through the waters. This ship appeared to be a merchant vessel.

Just then, someone on the deck shouted toward Shi Feng, "Friend above, our young master invites you to join us. Would you be so kind as to come down for a few drinks?"

Following the voice, Shi Feng saw several figures standing on the deck, and among them was a young nobleman clad in brocade garments, graceful with a paper fan in his left hand and a wine cup in his right, sipping wine with a smile on his face, looking up at Shi Feng.

"Descend!" Shi Feng uttered a low command to the White Tiger below, and at his order, the White Tiger immediately dashed downward, gradually approaching the merchant ship and landing on the deck.

After that, Shi Feng leaped down from the White Tiger and slowly walked towards the group of people at the front of the deck. The refined young nobleman continued to look at Shi Feng with a smile and said, "Come sit, brother. It’s better to travel together across the vast sea for the company. I am Shi Jinsuai of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building. How may I address this brother?"
