Chapter 323: Insignificant!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Bei Feng paused his practice. There needed to be a balance between hard work and rest; if one cultivated too hard, the effect might instead be harmful!
'I wonder if my current abilities are enough to deal with that giant Lava Python if I met it again?' Bei Feng mused with interest. In the end, he concluded that he was probably still not a match for it due to the terrain.
The underground lava lake was too small for a large-scale fight. Perhaps if the Lava Python came out from that small lava lake and fought him in the more spacious parts of the cavern, he might still be able to kite it around with his speed and kill it with the improved dagger.
If he did not rely on the flying dagger and his wing, he would not be able to contend against the Lava Python at all.
The reason the Demonic Beast was so strong was mainly because of its body size. Its physique was huge, allowing it to store more blood and Qi which caused it to be so powerful!
Within the same rank, why were cultivators weaker than Demonic Beasts? It was because the amount of blood and Qi energy in a Demonic Beast of the same rank was tens of times greater than a human's!
They didn't need any martial techniques, and could still suppress normal cultivators!
That was what it meant to suppress ten with the power of one! But despite the difference in strength, humans were still able to carve out a space for themselves and remain the dominant species. The reason for that was because of the use of tools, and the power of creation!
The existence of powerful weapons allowed martial practitioners to have a much easier time battling the Demonic Beasts. And the creation of a myriad of martial techniques allowed humans to have greater control over their strength and display great might!
After some thought, Bei Feng decided that it was better not to antagonize that beast first. Instead, it was the undying old creature in the underground tomb that was the greatest headache!
'There's no indication as to when the Extreme Yin Demonic Corpse would awaken. Just the incomplete form is already a Grade 9 creature. If it was in its complete form, it should at least be an existence above Grade 10?'
Bei Feng felt his head aching as he thought about that horrifying tomb. Although his strength had improved greatly, he was still far from being able to compare to that undying thing that had lived for thousands of years!
A moment later, he started to get into the stance for the Minor Illumination Body Tempering technique. Right now, the amount of energy required to clear a blood vessel had increased by several tens of times!
After cultivating the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique, Bei Feng's blood vessels and capillaries had been expanded. The expansion of his vessels allowed him to store more blood and Qi within him. That was also the reason why he was confident in fighting against Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts while he was still in the middle stage Xiantian realm!
'Everything requires resources. Although the Grade 9 Kira Savage Beast meat is enough to satisfy my most immediate needs, it's at most only sufficient for normal cultivation. To use it to train in the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique is still far from enough.'
At this time, he finally realized just how perverse the resources requirements for training in this technique were.
Although this technique was extremely strong, there wouldn't be many people who would be able to cultivate it even to the rudimentary level even if he released it to the people of this world.
Bei Feng could sense that he would only be able to use about 70% of his strength currently. If he wanted to use his full strength, he needed to go into his other form with the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique!
Both forms could actually be considered as his actual size. Only, his current two meter tall height looked much more natural on Earth.
In any case, 70% of his strength already allowed him to be unrivaled among Xiantian Lords. At this moment, even if he were to be hunted by numerous Fake Dan experts, he would not lose!
Darkness descended. As this place was a distance away from the city, there wasn't much haze in the sky.
Bei Feng's figure flickered as he ran up the mountain, heading to the peak of the mountain.
The cloudless sky was filled with a vast array of stars, and a bright moon hung high in the sky!
"Humans are really too small and insignificant."
Bei Feng sighed lightly as he looked up at the starry sky. Every single one of those dots of light represented a different star, and countless planets and landmasses lay in the boundless universe. From where he stood, he could already see an uncountable number of stars in the sky!
The huge Earth was only a very small planet floating about in space. Modern scientist had already proposed that Earth was definitely not the only planet with life in the infinite universe!
Only, that theory had not been proven due to the lack of concrete evidence so far. However, Bei Feng was different. He'd seen numerous worlds teeming with life with his own eyes while he fished. He'd even lived an entire year on an alien world before!
Because of that experience, he understood even more deeply that Earth was far too weak!
Not mentioning the other worlds, just the one he'd entered recently was already filled with countless experts!
In that world, even the hegemonic Grand Xia was merely a desolate countryside country. The boundless huge river he'd seen merely ran through the sides of Grand Xia. To the north was an ancient icy land, unmelting for tens of thousands of years. To the south was the desolate wilderness filled with countless high grade Savage Beasts!
For millions of years, Grand Xia had sent countless people out to explore. However, not a single person was able to pass through those dangerous lands.
But just a simple Grand Xia already abounded with top tier experts capable of smashing apart enormous mountains with a simple strike! If those people came to Earth, they would be completely unstoppable unless one used nuclear weapons!
The stronger he grew, the more insignificant he felt. He felt very fortunate that he'd been able to go to the Myriad Worlds and widen his horizons. He finally understood that humans could actually grow to such a level of power!
He felt like a frog at the bottom of the well who managed to jump out of it by fluke and saw the dangerous but exciting world outside! At this moment, the little frog had two choices.
The first was to venture into that unknown world bravely to seek out a new future. It might be very dangerous, but it was a whole new world of possibilities!
The second was to return to the safety of the well and continue spending the rest of its days staring up at the sky!
Bei Feng had chosen the first option—to seek a path to greater strength. He could even see the road ahead already!
Woefully, the current martial practitioners on Earth were stuck on their paths. The most everyone had set their eyes on was to reach the Controlled Dan realm. None of them were even aware that there were higher paths above the Controlled Dan realm!
"Boom!"
Bei Feng laid on the ground and cleared his mind of his thoughts as a rumbling sound echoed from his abdomen.
Numerous wisps of blood and Qi energy flowed from him, causing the air to thicken. Even the wind seemed to have stopped. The branches of a huge tree on the edge of the cliff also swayed along with his rhythmic breathing.
Bei Feng executed the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique and began to train meticulously. By now, he was extremely familiar with the twenty-eight movement styles. The actions which looked impossible to execute could all be easily completed by Bei Feng in one shot!
When he was in the Myriad World, Bei Feng did not cultivate the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique for fear that the constellations he was absorbing energy from would be different, causing him to be unable to continue cultivating it when he returned to Earth.
However, he'd still spent quite a bit of time to study and review the twenty-eight movements. At this time, he was extremely familiar with the movements.
Every action was performed perfectly with his powerful body.
He was like a university student doing the homework for primary school students. Everything was smooth and effortless.
If it was a regular person, these twenty-eight movements alone would require decades of hard work to learn and master!
Bei Feng's breaths were ragged and irregular, following a strange pattern. At the same time, he emptied his thoughts and steadily sketched out the outlines of a constellation map in his mind.
At this moment, he was doing three tasks at once. The difficulty level of this was not small at all!
This was the first time he was officially cultivating this technique, so failure was probably unavoidable.
Fortunately, the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique was not as strict as the Minor Illumination Breathing Technique in terms of the demand for timing accuracy. As long as it was at night, he could cultivate it.
However, Bei Feng did not think that this was an absolute rule. No matter how heaven-defying their cultivation was, the ancient cultivators who created this technique probably did not know that the Earth was only one of countless planets in the vast universe. Thus, they should also not have the knowledge that the sun was always present even at night. It was merely on the other side of the Earth, its rays blocked.
Therefore, the requirement that it could only be cultivated at night should be because those ancient cultivators felt that it would be easier to identify and visualize the chosen constellation if the sky was dark.
At this moment, Bei Feng was breathing loudly in a rapid and strange fashion as he lay on the ground with his four limbs splayed out, and his hips pushed high. Just as he was immersed in his cultivation, he happened to turn his head, and his breathing immediately stilled. The Cerberus was lying on the side, staring at him with a constipated expression as he lay there in his ridiculous toad stance.
One man and one dog stared at each other speechlessly under the soft glow of the moonlight. Time... seemed to have halted in that moment.
