Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming
Chapter 694 - 688: Return to Biluo, Chance with a Spiritual Beast

"Junior has met the City Lord!"

In the White Bone Hall, Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen bowed respectfully to the White Bone City Lord seated upon the sinister-looking throne above.

"Mhm, very good!"

The White Bone City Lord glanced at them, and noticing that their auras were thicker than before, he nodded with satisfaction, "It seems your progress has been significant!"

Although he had not used his Spiritual Eye to see through their flesh and observe the bones within, just from the residual Jade Bone energy on their bodies, he knew that the two had been diligently cultivating the past few days, and the results were remarkable. The "Jade Bone Great Method" had not only been entered into, but they had also made no small achievements. Otherwise, there would not be such obvious signs of improved strength in such a short period of time.

Hearing the White Bone City Lord's praise, Qin Feng quickly said, "We must thank our senior for bestowing upon us the Jade Bone, without which we would not have made such progress!"

"Ha ha, there's no need to thank me! Those things were originally for trade, what you've justly earned!"

The White Bone City Lord chuckled, his thousands of years spent cultivating his character had made him less fearsome than during the Ancient Great Tribulation, and instead, he had taken on a somewhat scholarly aura.

Of course, this was when he wasn't angered.

Should anyone witness how he fought with opponents, they would realize that all the amiable and approachable demeanor was merely an external façade; savage ferocity was in fact the truest side of this great power from the Ten Directions Ghost City!

"You have come at the right time!"

The White Bone City Lord waved his hand, and soon several monsters bound in iron chains were brought forth.

Two banshee-like creatures with eagle bodies, a fierce and belligerent Hell Three-Headed Dog with three dog heads, and a Hydra with nine snake heads.

Aside from that Nine-Headed Serpent Hydra which had condensed Divine Status, the rest were all at the Demigod Realm.

"The time has been too short. Although we occupy a considerable territory in this world, when compared to the entire Divine Realm, it is just the tip of the iceberg. We are currently surrounded by the armies led by the kings of this realm on all sides. I only managed to capture these few monsters from the battlefield; see if they are of any use to you!"

The White Bone City Lord said with a smile, "This Nine-Headed Serpent may not be on par with the ones from the Heavenly Demon Great World, but it's still quite decent. It has performed well on the battlefield, even briefly holding its own against several True Immortals in a one-against-three situation.

However, unfortunate for it, although Sea God Poseidon has many divine beings under his command, for some reason, it was not liked by the other sea gods, hence it found itself isolated on the battlefield and was captured by my forces."

"Oh?"

Qin Feng looked curiously at the Nine-Headed Serpent upon hearing this.

The serpent was strong and emitted a surging yet cold aura. However, its eyes betrayed a veneer of ferocity, appearing to be brave on the outside but timid inside.

That made sense; after all, being merely a lower level divine creature, even if the White Bone City Lord had not shown the oppressive aura of a peak Golden Immortal, it would still instinctively sense the terror of the being above.

Furthermore, it had once caught a fleeting glimpse of the White Bone City Lord battling with the Sun God Apollo—enough to send shivers down its spine. Now, with the White Bone City Lord seated in front of it in the hall, how could it dare to make any careless moves!

Qin Feng, though, wasn't concerned with the thoughts of the Nine-Headed Serpent. Instead, he silently sighed to himself.

Had it been in the past, he would have been thrilled to receive any of these monsters as a gift.

But now, apart from adding a bit of combat power to his forces, these Spiritual Beasts did not seem to be of much use to him.

After all, his original purpose in asking the White Bone City Lord for Spiritual Beasts was to cultivate his main Lifebound Spiritual Beasts and bring them to the level of becoming Demon Immortals.

But what the White Bone City Lord provided were a few creatures of no use to him.

Qin Feng already had Batty, the Lifebound Hellhound, who had merged with a Divine Status Hell Three-Headed Dog. Naturally, he did not value the demi-god realm creature in front of him, as merging it would not garner him any additional abilities but would instead consume a vast amount of resources and Spiritual Energy, a loss that was not worth the gain.

The Nine-Headed Serpent Hydra did have some unique abilities, different from the Hydra he had merged with before, but now having ascended to True Immortal status, his Lifebound Spiritual Beasts had already fused into his Dharma Image, rendering the Hydra of little use to him now.

And those two banshee-like creatures with eagle bodies!

Could such strange creatures be fused into his Undying Qingluan?

Even if the Undying Qingluan were to take on a half-human, half-bird form, it would still look far more appealing than a banshee!

However, these were just thoughts, and not words one could utter.

"Thank you, City Lord!"

Qin Feng didn't show any dissatisfaction with the monsters being of little use to him, and instead respectfully thanked the City Lord, "The City Lord has taken great pains, and I am deeply grateful!"

With the White Bone City Lord's cultivation, he could see Qin Feng's disregard for the Spiritual Beasts, and he said with a laugh, "Are these Spiritual Beasts not suitable?

Ha ha, don't be hasty, don't be hasty. These monsters are just an addition. If there are no suitable Spiritual Beasts here, the Cultivation World has plenty. Would I disappoint you?"

He waved to stop Qin Feng from saying polite but empty words and continued, "The two of you have stolen the Golden Apples from the Divine Mountain, and now your deeds have spread throughout the entire battlefield. All Gods are eager and ready, waiting for your appearance to take action against you.

Therefore, staying here is no longer suitable for you. Prolonging your stay won't yield any significant benefits. It would be best to recognize the opportune moment to retreat and quickly return to Biluo."

"Senior's words are wise; I will follow senior's arrangement!"

Qin Feng nodded.

He knew that the trip to Mount Olympus had drawn too much attention; if he and Li Miao Zhen were to appear on the battlefield, they would certainly become the prime targets, attacked by all gods.

Even if they no longer had the Golden Apples, those divine beings would not let them off, not to mention Li Miao Zhen still had several on her!

Fortunately, they were not creatures from this realm; with the White Bone City Lord looking after them, they could come and go freely, able to leave this world at any moment and return to Biluo.

"Good, that's a relief!"

The White Bone City Lord nodded, "I've already arranged everything for you. Later, you will take the White Bone Boat back to the rear. There's a group of cultivators heading back to Biluo for rest and healing. You can join them and head back together."

"Thank you, Senior!"

The two bowed.

Following this, under the indication of the White Bone City Lord, Qin Feng put the monsters, whose powers had been sealed with prohibitions, into the Spiritual Beast Bag.

After all, being outside, he still chose to be cautious. Although it was unlikely that the White Bone City Lord would rob him of his Demon Refining Pot given his status, Qin Feng instinctively wanted to keep his cards close to his chest, unwilling to reveal all his capabilities in front of the City Lord!

Soon, the followers of the White Bone City led them onto a White Bone Flying Boat, flying towards the distant Space Gate.

...

It took half a day for the White Bone Boat to reach the vicinity of the Space Gate, landing in an area a hundred miles away from the Space Gate.

It wasn't that they didn't want to fly closer, but the Space Gate was wide open, with legions of cultivators flying out of it, quickly filling up the vast area in front of it. By the look of the crowds, there were at least several million people, among them a significant number of immortals, each with an ethereal presence and an extraordinary bearing.

Where Qin Feng and the others descended, tens of thousands of cultivators were also nearby.

However, these cultivators were either disabled or weak in spirit, obviously heavily wounded and in need of returning to Biluo for recuperation.

Of course, there were also some cultivators whose storage bags were bulging at their waists, their faces beaming with success—an obvious sign of a fruitful bounty.

These were the cultivators who had reaped many rewards on the battlefield and wanted to return to Biluo to advance their cultivation.

Both the Ten Directions Ghost City and various sects, when arranging for disciples to return to their sects for recuperation, would often bring such cultivators along to avoid leaving behind a sight of the wounded, which might instill fear in the hearts of those yet to be dispatched into the fray.

Bringing back those cultivators who had harvested a bounty and established merits, who upon returning would receive handsome rewards from the sects and exchange for a wealth of cultivation resources from the market—enabling a rapid advancement in cultivation—would greatly incentivize the disciples not yet in combat, spurring the fighting spirit in their hearts and, hence, facilitating the mobilization of more cultivators willing to actively engage in battle!

Eventually, when the army of cultivators before the Space Gate dispersed under the command of various sect elders and cleared the area, the cultivators returning to their sects for healing began heading towards the Space Gate.

However, Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen, not only led by the monks of the White Bone City but also true immortals with the identity of Masters of Qi Luck, could not possibly wait to travel along with others sluggishly; they were directly escorted by an immortal of the White Bone City through the Space Gate first and returned to the Nine Nether Ghost City on the other side.

"Daoist Fellows, please follow me this way!"

The White Bone City's immortal responsible for receiving them smiled broadly while leading the way.

Although the competition in the Ten Directions Ghost City was fierce and many cultivators had grown cold due to constant thoughts of improving their cultivation combat power or dealing with challenges and disputes from others, resulting in a hardened nature over long periods, there were still many who behaved like smiling tigers!

Take, for instance, this fellow named Shang Huanxi before them; his lifebound spiritual ghost he had refined in his early years was a Smiling Ghost, and he had long cultivated a benign smile that seemed harmless to both humans and animals. His smile never faded, giving those around him a feeling of warmth and approachability.

The Ten Directions Ghost City employed such individuals as the welcoming face for various tasks, never short of people suited for such roles.

The two followed the White Bone City's immortal to a palace within the city.

This was the stopping point in the Nine Nether City for the monks of the White Bone City traveling to and fro.

Since the Space Gate was located within the territory of Nine Nether City, far from the White Bone City, Shang Huanxi did not bring them to the White Bone City but instead had them stay temporarily in the Nine Nether Ghost City. He then issued orders for the White Bone City monks to send the captured spiritual beasts and treasures to Nine Nether City, to hand over to Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen.

They stayed there for three days.

During these three days, first, individuals from the White Bone City brought many space treasures, including Void Netherstones for treasure refining, Space Crystal Stones for making Space Gates, and other rare spatial materials, each one exciting Qin Feng greatly.

Not to speak of other items, just the Space Crystal Stones alone amounted to twelve boxes.

In earlier years, Elder Kongkong had given Qin Feng a small piece, which had allowed the Swallowing Sky Toad to refine a demon core within a short period from the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But now, the twelve boxes of Space Crystal Stones sent by the followers of the White Bone City Lord were not only numerous but each was larger than the one Elder Kongkong had given him.

This was all even after the Space Treasures in the White Bone City's treasure vault had been nearly depleted; Qin Feng found it difficult to imagine the sheer amount of treasures he might have received had the vault not been emptied.

In the following days, monks from the White Bone City arrived continuously from all directions, bringing with them powerful demon beasts.

There were huge Spiritual Toads, Spirit Turtles that could carry divine mountains, ferocious Evil Dogs, Spider Demons covered in flames...

There was an array of them, diverse and plentiful—the weakest among them were in the Primordial Spirit Realm, and the more powerful ones had even reached the stage of Demon Immortal, imposing in their presence!

Qin Feng was thrilled to see these spiritual beasts!

Indeed, the White Bone City Lord, a great power in his own right, had not deceived him; when he said he would not treat Qin Feng poorly, he meant it. Apart from everything else, just these spiritual beasts were enough to satisfy Qin Feng.
