Chapter 594: Chapter 589 Refining Treasure Qi Fortune Favorite

Qin Feng had considered releasing the Netherworld Water to sweep through the void and expand over the area where the Black Robed Demon Cultivator had died, just in case.

However, he later thought that the Demon Cultivator was only at the Primordial Spirit Realm and had not yet become a Demon Immortal, lacking the ability to defy the heavens. Under such circumstances, he deemed it unnecessary and thus decided against it.

Of course, the main reason was that he had already decided to merge the Chaotic Sky Map into the first layer of the Demon Refining Pot’s space. No matter whether the Demon Cultivator had any tricks left up his sleeve or a residual soul attempting Body Seizing, once inside the Demon Refining Pot, there was no chance of turning the tide.

The first layer of space within the Demon Refining Pot had limited land and not even a single small Spirit Vein, due to the lack of a suitable Space Magical Treasure, so Qin Feng had always been cultivating the Swallowing Sky Toad in the other layers.

Now that he had obtained the Chaotic Sky Map, Qin Feng’s eyes shone with excitement, believing it to be the perfect spatial world for the Swallowing Sky Toad.

The Chaotic Sky Map was originally a Cave Heaven Treasure from the Ancient Great Sect, the Void Sect. Although it was damaged in the cataclysm, and even the inhabitable spaces within the Cave Heaven were reduced to the land at his feet, with the remaining areas having become a raging void of chaotic currents, Qin Feng still felt that it was even more suitable for the Swallowing Sky Toad’s cultivation.

Although the damaged Cave Heaven Treasure had recognized the Swallowing Sky Toad as its master, even the Swallowing Sky Toad belonged to him, and naturally, the Treasure was no exception.

Furthermore, Qin Feng felt that he was not robbing the Swallowing Sky Toad of its Treasure. After all, even if he merged the Chaotic Sky Map into the Demon Refining Pot, it would still be used as a place for cultivation and still belong to the toad; the only difference was that it could no longer be taken outside to face enemies. Qin Feng believed the Swallowing Sky Toad would not object!

After making this decision happily, Qin Feng did not immediately implement it but first took the time to clean up the battlefield.

Even though the Black Robed Demon Cultivator had been burned to ashes by several of his Spiritual Beasts, leaving no traces behind, the treasures this person had released were still outside, and Qin Feng planned to carefully inspect them before collecting them.

He also needed to properly dispose of the several Corpse Puppets in the distance.

These cultivators were once Righteous Path Cultivators, some even being Inner Sect Elders from well-known sects. Their fate of being turned into Corpse Puppets was lamentable, but Qin Feng never considered giving them a proper burial.

Corpse Puppets were still Corpse Puppets. Even though they were currently mindless and harmless without control, the power within them was too strong. If he buried them carelessly somewhere, they might absorb the essence of sun and moon, leading to corpse transformation and becoming real Zombies.

Additionally, he had to be vigilant against the possibility that the Black Robed Demon Cultivator had split a strand of Divine Soul to reside in the Corpse Puppets before dying, and he also needed to ensure that these corpses did not fall into the hands of any malicious individuals. With so many potential problems, Qin Feng ultimately chose to completely incinerate and purify them, to prevent any accidents.

As for finding the respective Sects behind these individuals and returning the corpses, he did not have that much spare time.

Moreover, with countless Sects in the Cultivation World, based on these cultivators who had been dead for who knows how long and had been turned into Corpse Puppets, how was he to investigate which sects they belonged to during their lives?

Apart from the Sword Cultivator Puppet, which Qin Feng guessed might be a cultivator from the Wisdom Sword Sect, he had no leads on the rest of the Corpse Puppets. He was not about to have the Beast Taming Sect’s disciples travel the Five Domains to seek out the sects to which these Corpse Puppets belonged.

Even if he guessed that the Sword Cultivator Corpse Puppet might have been from the Wisdom Sword Sect, Qin Feng had no intention of returning it to them.

The Wisdom Sword Sect was on good terms with Taiyi Mountain, and they had no relationship with his Beast Taming Sect. It was not worth Qin Feng’s effort to ingratiate himself with the allies of an opposing force.

So he merely collected what he could from these Corpse Puppets and had the White Dragon and the Undying Qingluan refine them completely.

The Hellhound on the side expressed its willingness to help and guaranteed no repercussions, but Qin Feng did not choose to let the Hellhound devour the corpses.

He knew that the Hellhound had been feeding on various Undead Souls and corpses since its youth, certainly consuming countless dead bodies, but he still did not develop the habit of feeding human flesh to his Spiritual Beasts, especially since these corpses were of cultivators from the Biluo Great World’s Human Clan, coming from Righteous Sects and being unfortunate Elders.

Although it seemed wasteful, if he let the Hellhound devour the powerful Corpse Puppets, it would likely strengthen the beast considerably, even potentially advancing it to a Demigod status.

After all, both the Sword Cultivator Corpse Puppet and the monk were high-level cultivators from the Primordial Spirit Realm, with extremely strong Law forces within them, making them sufficient nourishment for the Hellhound’s advancement.

But Qin Feng still felt it was better to maintain some principles.

He believed that certain ethical lines should not be crossed. Otherwise, one’s moral boundary would keep lowering. If he allowed his Spiritual Beasts to feed on dead humans now, would he eventually condone them devouring the living?

Should that day come, it would conflict with the founding principles of the Beast Taming Sect!

Qin Feng quickly put the matter of the Corpse Puppets behind him. With the White Dragon and others diligently refining them, there was no need for his concern.

He was now taking stock of the loot from this battle.

Even though the Black Robed Demon Cultivator had been thoroughly refined, and the treasures on the Corpse Puppets before their deaths had been plundered, Qin Feng’s haul was still substantial.

After all, the most commonly used Magical Treasures were still left for the Corpse Puppets to maintain their combat effectiveness.

The Sword Box of the Sword Cultivator, the Buddha Beads and Kasaya of the monk–these were all top-tier Spiritual Artifacts, with their Prohibitions and Laws refined to Perfection, just one step away from evolving into Immortal Artifacts, like the Cultivation Realm of their former owners.

Such peak Spiritual Treasures were considered rare and valuable. Even if sold, they would fetch a high price; there would never be a shortage of eager buyers.

Though Qin Feng was quite wealthy at present, he welcomed these additional treasures with open arms, gleefully pocketing them.

Apart from the Sword Box, Buddha Beads, and Kasaya, the remaining Corpse Puppets also possessed one or two Spiritual Artifacts each. Moreover, a few Demonic Qi-filled Demon Path Treasures were left behind after the Black Robed Demon Cultivator’s death.

However, what truly delighted Qin Feng were the Chaotic Sky Map and the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Space Escape Divine Shuttle!

Qin Feng didn’t have much interest in the Chaotic Sky Map, even though this treasure was originally a Cave Heaven Treasure with a vast interior expanse, far surpassing the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven. Yet, since it was severely damaged, the only land available for footing was the piece he stood on, and the rest were chaotic voids. Other than being suitable for the Swallowing Sky Toad’s cultivation ground, it held little use for him.

However, integrating it into the Demon Refining Pot to give the Swallowing Sky Toad a habitat did fulfill one of his wishes.

What he really found useful was the Immortal Artifact, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Space Escape Divine Shuttle.

Previously, he suppressed the Space Escape Divine Shuttle with the Karma Fire Red Lotus because operating the Karma Fire Red Lotus consumed too much True Yuan to maintain for a long time. Moreover, as the Black Robed Demon Cultivator constantly called for the Space Escape Divine Shuttle, trying to break through the suppression of the Karma Fire Red Lotus, to prevent the shuttle from escaping, Qin Feng directly sent the Karma Fire Red Lotus into the Demon Refining Pot. He cut off the Demonic Qi sensing between the Black Robed Demon Cultivator and the Space Escape Divine Shuttle using the spatial separation of the Demon Refining Pot from the outside world.

Thus, he effectively cut off the Black Robed Demon Cultivator’s strongest means. Otherwise, if the opponent were to control the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Space Escape Divine Shuttle, even in this chaotic void, it was possible that the Demon Cultivator could last a year or half a year without being slain by him, and might even escape by utilizing Void Escape.

The Space Escape Divine Shuttle’s greatest strength was its ability to travel through Void Escape, fearlessly braving the chaotic void streams. The Divine Power Magic of Qin Feng’s Spiritual Beasts couldn’t catch up to the Space Escape Divine Shuttle’s speed, let alone break the defense of this Immortal Artifact.

Furthermore, with the Chaotic Sky Map also damaged, there was the possibility that it could escape with the mysterious powers of the Space Escape Divine Shuttle.

Qin Feng extended his hand, and the true form of the ninety-nine Space Escape Divine Shuttles materialized before him. The shuttle-shaped Divine Shuttles, each about a foot in length with pointed ends, brought him immense satisfaction.

He picked up a Divine Shuttle and examined it closely. Then, he injected True Yuan into it to carefully sense the interior situation.

Because the Artifact Spirit didn’t accept the Black Robed Demon Cultivator’s refining, the Demon Cultivator had only tempered the outermost layers of prohibition and was able to rudimentarily control this Immortal Artifact.

As Qin Feng’s True Yuan flooded into the Space Escape Divine Shuttle, he quickly encountered the True Yuan imprint left by the Demon Cultivator.

Qin Feng wasn’t bothered by this. Although the opponent’s Cultivation Realm was stronger than his own, the Demon Cultivator was dead after all. The remaining imprints were like rootless duckweeds, easily swept away by his assault!

Erasing the Demon Cultivator’s imprint was slightly more difficult than he expected. However, once he completely refined the Demonic Qi, the process became much simpler.

Since the Artifact Spirit was sealed within the largest of the Space Escape Divine Shuttles, although the rest of the ninety-eight Divine Shuttles were akin to the limbs and extensions of the main Divine Shuttle, controlled by the Artifact Spirit, the main consciousness of the Artifact Spirit wasn’t present there. Therefore, Qin Feng didn’t encounter much resistance while refining them.

The primary reason was that Qin Feng learned a trick from the Swallowing Sky Toad, which was to entice the Artifact Spirit of this Immortal Artifact with his own Power of Laws of Space.

The Artifact Spirit, previously sealed by the Demon Cultivator, indeed accepted his power without much resistance upon feeling the influence of a Righteous Path Cultivator proficient in the Space Law.

Thus, Qin Feng refined one after another, spending a total of nine days and nights before he had preliminarily refined the set of Immortal Artifacts, which quite matched the time prescription of this Magical Treasure.

After Qin Feng had refined ninety-eight Space Escape Shuttles, the remaining main shuttle that sealed the Artifact Spirit did not put up much resistance.

Otherwise, it could not escape from within the Chaotic Sky Map, and even if it could escape, its power would be greatly reduced after losing all its clone limbs and relying solely on itself.

Outside, Supreme Elder Long Qian initially thought something might have gone wrong with Qin Feng, wondering why he had not come out for such a long time. He specially activated his Spiritual Eye to investigate again and discovered that Qin Feng was collecting spoils of war.

Seeing this, Elder Long Qian shook his head, mused about the favored child of Qi Fortune who indeed received heavenly blessings, and then stopped concerning himself with Qin Feng, sitting cross-legged silently in the depths of the sky, quietly guarding from the outside.

He was composed and patient, managing to refrain from engaging in conflicts over pride for thousands of years before proving his Dao. Now, waiting for just a few days for Qin Feng was certainly bearable for him.

Qin Feng did not know that Elder Long Qian was protecting the Dao for him from the outside, but he guessed that the Sect would definitely assign a powerful Elder to guard him in secret.

This was quite normal, as even Qi Fortune’s favored children, blessed by heaven, would have their low ebb periods, especially when facing formidable opponents. Often, after barely managing to kill the opponent and gaining an opportunity, they are very likely to have suffered severe injuries. Encountering an external enemy at such times could be dangerous.

A child of Qi Fortune without the protection of a Sect’s power could only rely on their own Qi Fortune to evade various disasters. If fortunate enough to narrowly escape disaster more than a few times, it would not only deplete their Qi Fortune significantly but a slight misstep could also spell their demise, leaving their fortune to fall into the hands of others.

Just like the Chaotic Sky Map and the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Space Escape Divine Shuttle–the two treasures from the black-robed Demon Cultivator–were obtained from a Loose Cultivator teeming with Qi Fortune.

That Loose Cultivator had barely survived nine deaths to finally obtain treasures from a dangerous place like the Ancient Battlefield, and yet, before they could leave, they encountered the black-robed Demon Cultivator, and their fortune was stolen!

On the other hand, a child of Qi Fortune like Qin Feng, who came from a Major Sect and a Great Force, was much better off. Whenever they went out, there would always be powerful Sect Elders guarding them in secret, allowing them to avert life-and-death crises.

However, as long as these young ones did not encounter a fatal crisis, the protector would not meddle in their affairs hastily, so as not to ruin their chances and rob these disciples of opportunities to grow through experience.

This had almost become an unwritten rule among the various Major Sects in the Cultivation World. Many older Cultivators knew this, and even these talented disciples like Qin Feng were aware, leading the young prodigies of different Sects to act somewhat willfully and arrogantly, revealing the domineering side of youth. They often also managed to create significant reputations for themselves!

Inside the Chaotic Sky Map, after Qin Feng had refined the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Space Escape Divine Shuttles, he played with them enthusiastically for a while before waving his large sleeve, collecting the ninety-nine Space Escape Shuttles into his sleeve.

The Space Escape Divine Shuttle could expand or shrink, hide or reveal itself. With Qin Feng’s retraction, they directly transformed into slender shuttle shapes, about an inch in length, resembling swimming fish as they flew into Qin Feng’s sleeve.

Qin Feng rose to his feet and laughed heartily, reaching out to collect all the Spiritual Beasts into the Demon Refining Pot, then with a thought, the Swallowing Sky Toad transformed the Chaotic Sky Map into a painted scroll about a foot wide.
