Chapter 648: Chapter 375 Mutual Dread_2
Perhaps it was for this reason, after all, this elderly Feather person had also gone through an extremely long period of time, different from Da Kun, he might have also seen a broader world, seen the sights that ordinary Cultivators, even after a lifetime, could not glimpse, and thus possessed such calmness and composure.
“Don’t recognize, first meeting, just surprised at your realm, you are the highest achievement I have seen in Dong Xuan phase one so far.”
[Race: Qiong Yu]
[Attributes: Wind, God, Spirit]
[Potential Level: Emperor · Top]
[Combat Power Level: Emperor · Top]
“Thank you for your praising.”
In the old feather person’s turbid eyes emerged a divine light, he was looking at the youth whose aura was so weak that he felt he could turn him to ashes with a light touch.
He harbored a trace of apprehension at this moment, for he could not see through the youth who commanded the Kun Group, he could not see his origins, nor could he see his future, yet the other party praised his cultivation in Dong Xuan Phase One, such a quick judgment on the superiority between them.
“But it’s just the truth, your cultivation does indeed deserve this evaluation, but you’re too old, it’s a pity that your vitality has decayed to this extent.”
Feng Qing’an shook his head repeatedly, expressing a sense of regret in his words.
Decaying vitality is a nightmare for a warrior. Once the vitality in one’s body declines, it signifies that a warrior can no longer progress, making it impossible to break through to the next realm.
However, besides warriors, practitioners of other systems are equally afraid of declining vitality. Even Heavenly Immortals have to face the Five Decays Tribulation, only by enduring it can they truly achieve eternal life. If they can’t hold on, they’ll have to reincarnate and start over, which is considered lucky.
The Feathered King in front of him is in this situation, he might truly be very powerful, but his life has already reached its limit.
He can now only seek ways to sustain his life with various longevity items or secret methods, as for climbing to a higher realm, sorry, his body isn’t strong enough to support him taking that step.
Because the decline in vitality also represents the exhaustion of his essence, spirit, and mind, this is not a single decline, but a full-scale decline in physical condition, and this is enough to prove how dominant the Feathered King was at his peak.
Unfortunately, such an exceptional being, could not escape the invisible knife of time after all. Without immortality, in the end, he’s just a handful of earth.
“There’s nothing to regret, what should be experienced has been experienced, I don’t have any extra hopes in this life, being able to see my descendants thrive in the world is fulfilling enough.”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s sigh, the old Feather person’s expression didn’t change. He responded casually, but Feng Qing’an could not help but understand the hidden meaning.
The old Feather person, who is about to die, cares about the continuation of his race above all else. Anyone who threatens this would face his readiness to give up his life, even if it meant perishing together.
The warning issued by the old Feather person, who is so accomplished that Feng Qing’an can hardly understand, is naturally taken very seriously by Feng Qing’an. However, he does not intend to treat the Feather King in front of him as crudely as he did with the Merfolk Queen.
It doesn’t work to threaten, but it may work to entice.
Feng Qing’an doesn’t believe that anyone who has tasted the sweetness from him would have the courage and willpower to say no to him.
The old Feather person in front of him is a perfect counterexample, no matter how exceptional you are, your bloodline can still bind you, leading to a hard life, and in the end, you can only pass away with an old look, disappearing from the world.
“Haha, the old predecessor sure knows how to let go.”
“After all, at my age, there’s nothing much left to miss. It’s just that age brings a bit of nagging, I want to ask again, what’s your purpose of coming here?”
The divine light that emerged in the turbid eyes of the old Feather person became sharp, like two peerless divine swords about to be unsheathed, ready to paint the sky red with blood if something goes awry.
“I’ve only read about the Qiong Yu race in books, never have I truly seen them in person. Now that I’ve heard, I came to see for myself, I hope the old predecessor would grant me the honor.”
At the moment, Feng Qing’an is gentle and cultivated, like a true disciple from an ancient cultivation family.
“Just to see?”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s absurd reasoning, not to mention the old Feather person who has experienced thousands of years, the young Feather people around him also showed doubtful and incredulous expressions on their faces.
After all, it was clear that Feng Qing’an had ill intentions.
“Indeed!”
Feng Qing’an once again declared his love for peace and distaste for conflict. He was just here to take a look around.
“Since you are curious about my Qiong Yu tribe, my dear guest, would you like to come inside and take a look with this old man?”
The elderly feathered man also felt that what Feng Qing’an said was a bunch of nonsense, but he didn’t point it out. Instead, he followed along with his topic and directly invited him in.
“I would certainly like to, but it seems like your tribe’s land is a little too small. These Da Kuns who have followed me might not be able to get in.”
Feng Qing’an looks troubled.
“I’m afraid you might have to exert yourself a little in that case. These Kun beasts of yours, I reckon they won’t be able to get in.”
The old feather person’s tone was amiable, and he softly replied.
“Oh, alright then.”
Feng Qing’an did not show much hesitation and agreed directly, which shocked many of the feathered people.
In their eyes, this young man from the Human Race was clearly relying on the Kun Group to behave so unbridled and ostentatious.
“Then I will come inside with the elder to take a look. But since I cannot bring these Da Kuns in, can I bring some of my followers with me?”
Feng Qing’an asked with a beaming smile.
“If it is like this for you, naturally it’s okay.”
The elderly feather person’s gaze landed on the Merfolk Queen standing next to Feng Qing’an. This Merfolk Queen had already rid herself of many ornate royal adornments.
Even so, she was now extraordinarily striking in her very simple attire, like the most brilliant flower among thousands.
“…”
Under the gaze of the feather person, the Merfolk Queen, whose vitality and vigor had rejuvenated unknowingly, lowered her head in haste. Naturally, they recognized each other, but their relationship was not of equals but that of elder and junior.
This feather person’s close female friend happened to be the most gifted direct descendant of her own bloodline.
“Then there’s no problem.”
Just as his words fell, a black cat yawned and crawled out from his clothes. It squatted lazily on his shoulder.
The elder feather person’s gaze quickly shifted from the Merfolk Queen onto the cat held by the neck and cuddled in Feng Qing’an’s arms. After watching for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“You truly have bravery to dare to keep such an evil thing!”
“Elder sure has keen eyes to notice the peculiarities of my little cat!”
Feng Qing’an looked at the old feather man somewhat unexpectedly. The Heavenly Demon is best at causing chaos in people’s hearts, leading to the collapse of their Daoist Heart, and ultimately ruin. But it excelled at concealment.
If a Heavenly Demon wanted to hide, it would be difficult for Cultivators of higher realms to expose it unless it was making trouble, which was the best time to find its trace.
But this old feather person had indeed noticed it, so Feng Qing’an began to take the old feather person more seriously.
However, seeing Feng Qing’an playing with the Heavenly Demon as a pet, it was needless to say that the old feather person couldn’t help but become cautious and view him as a great enemy.
“Don’t you fear the danger of such an evil thing turning on you? By the time you regret it, it may be too late.”
“Turning on me? Elder, it seems you are worried over nothing. This little cat would never turn on me in this life. Even if he had the guts, he wouldn’t have the power.”
