Chapter 206 You Don’t Even Want to Call Me Master
"This is the authority that allows you to control the cave heaven!"
Feng Qing'an looked down at the evil writing clinging to his left wrist. It was an extremely mysterious text, each with its own shape and form. The dragon-shaped text was like little dragons soaring in the sky, the phoenix-shaped text seemed to be about to spread its wings and fly out, and the tiger-shaped text was about to pounce... These words seemed to have life, radiating divine light, and were about to fall off his wrist and become independent and sacred.
"From now on, this floor is under your control. As long as you don't destroy it, whatever you do is up to your own will!"
"Um!"
Feng Qing'an responded indifferently, looking at the divine ring formed by the divine light blooming from the demonic patterns surrounding his wrist, and carefully feeling the mystery of it.
The spirit of the cave was very generous in giving him control of this level. Through the authority formed by the demonic text, he could overlook this place from a very peculiar angle. The area of this level was not large, only about a hundred miles in radius.
Of course, it is not big, but if you use it as a storage space that can be used at any time, it is a bit too big. The storage belt that Donghuang gave her before was the best she could take out, but it was only a few miles in radius.
This place is hundreds of miles wide and can be used to raise living creatures. Even if the wolf pack from Heishan Mountain to Qingmang Mountain is moved here, there will be no problem. This place has special benefits for the growth of monsters.
Of course, these are nothing. What really interests Feng Qing'an is that with the blessing of the authority of the cave heaven, he saw the true appearance of the spirit of the cave heaven.
Although he could sense the existence of the cave spirit with the help of the pure yang characteristics, his body was too small and he could only see a part of it. As for what was under the nine heads, he had no idea.
Now, he saw that under the nine heads as big as mountains, there was nothingness. This guy only had nine heads, but there was some special connection between them, as if they had the same body.
Feng Qingan's curious gaze was soon noticed. A head was raised, and the cave spirit noticed Feng Qingan's spying on it through his authority. Even without asking, it knew that he was doubting its existence.
"Feng Qing'an, I am different from all the creatures you have ever seen. In the cave, I am everywhere. However, if necessary, I can also condense a body that can carry my will!"
As he spoke, as if to confirm what he said and also to demonstrate, under the nine giant snake heads suspended in the air, one after another thick scales taller than humans emerged, and under the neatly arranged scales, flesh, fascia, meridians, and bones emerged one by one.
Under Feng Qing'an's astonished gaze, a giant snake with nine heads and a winding body like undulating mountains gradually emerged, but the change stopped abruptly halfway through. Under Feng Qing'an's slightly stunned gaze, the body that had just been half condensed suddenly collapsed.
"It consumes too much energy. The current cave is too damaged to support me to show my complete body!"
The tone of the cave spirit seemed a little awkward, but it still explained the reason to save its own face. It was not that it couldn't do it, but that the cave was too dilapidated.
"I see!"
Feng Qing'an looked at the nine snake heads left, which could only rely on the cave spirit shrouded in clouds and mist to bluff. He seemed to understand, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He looks quite domineering, but this guy is even weaker than he expected. He is just a showpiece that looks good but is useless. Of course, this guy is definitely not just for show. If they really start fighting, Donghuang will be in danger. However, his influence is limited to this ruined cave.
Several heads of the big snake looked up at the sky, and several heads surrounded the tiny body of Feng Qingan below.
"By the way, Feng Qing'an, the level you are currently in control of is the fifth level according to the definition of your race, but those members of the Xiao family don't know that, they only control the first four levels.
Although it is the fifth floor, this floor is relatively small. If you are not satisfied, you can find rare items from heaven and earth to fill it in and expand the area of this floor to make it bigger!"
"That's not necessary, I'm very satisfied here!"
Hearing the words of the Cave Spirit, Feng Qing'an smiled, and the abacus beads of the Cave Spirit were about to jump onto his face.
How could he not know that on the one hand this guy coveted his potential, but on the other hand he took into account his ethnic identity and was unwilling to entrust everything in the cave to him.
But if he gave nothing, this guy was worried about missing out on this life-saving straw, so he gave him some control but still wanted him to help repair the cave. However, Feng Qingan would not be fooled.
Unless this guy signs a contract with him, he will never help. He will never do such a thing as working hard year after year to make wedding clothes for others.
If he worked hard to find all kinds of rare items in the world that could repair the cave, and after the cave was almost completely repaired, a yellow-haired spirit with the potential to become a celestial demon or even a great sage popped out and took away the cave he had worked so hard to repair as if it were a fruit, who could he complain to?
The authority he holds now is only granted by the spirit of the cave. Since it can be given, it can also be taken back. If you want him to contribute, you must at least let him have full control, and there is no possibility of anyone taking advantage of it.
"Feng Qing'an, didn't you just ask me to think about it? I have actually already thought about it. If you can completely restore Jiushou Cave Heaven, I can recognize you as my master, no matter if you are human or demon!"
The spirit that was born when the cave was on the verge of breaking apart made a promise to Feng Qing'an, but to Feng Qing'an , it sounded like he was just drawing a pie in the sky that he might not even be able to eat.
Because this guy has very clearly shown his disdain for the human race and his preference for the demon race. Of course, it cannot be said to be a preference.
After all, this cave was originally opened up by a great master of the demon clan. It is not incomprehensible that he wants to find a successor who is of the same origin as the previous owner.
The reason why this guy compromised now is simply because he has no choice. This guy discriminates equally between humans and the demons with inferior bloodlines.
"I can repair the entire cave, why would I need you to acknowledge me as my master?"
Feng Qingan rolled his eyes and sneered. If he had the ability to completely repair the cave, would he care whether the Nine Spirits recognized him as their master? He could even refine it by force!
"You need a treasure similar to my storage belt? You did that on purpose. My treasure is like a tonic to you. You want me to find a similar magic weapon for you. Isn't that great?"
"That was really my fault. I didn't mean to destroy your treasure!"
Regarding this point, the cave spirit refused to let go and refused to admit it. No matter if he did it on purpose or accidentally, it was definitely unintentional when it came out of its mouth .
"No matter how you try to argue, you've already been ruined like this. But I'm telling you, unless you truly acknowledge me as your master, don't even think about letting me give you my treasure to ruin!"
Although he knew that the guy in front of him was extremely strong in the cave, Feng Qing'an knew that the other party needed his help, so he naturally straightened his back. He now had the capital to control the other party, so it was the other party who should be humble, not himself.
“How can that be considered a waste? Do you know how magnificent and vast this cave was when it was intact? The level you are in control of now was only a resting place for a celestial demon who followed the Great Sage in its heyday!”
Hearing Feng Qing'an's words, Jiu Ling's tone suddenly became excited. Although this cave was already in great ruins when its will was born, it still had the memory of its prosperous period.
"A place for the celestial demon to rest?"
Feng Qing'an was slightly surprised to hear that only one celestial demon could sleep in this area of a hundred miles, but he buried in his heart. He knew that the stronger the creature, the larger its body. Although it was not directly proportional, it was roughly true.
“When this cave was complete, ten celestial demons could show their true forms here, fly freely, and swim in the sea. You can’t even imagine how magnificent this place was at the time!”
“But now there is only this little shabby place left, and what does the former glory of this place have to do with me? I have no obligation to repair it.
You also said that I am a human, not a demon. Since you need my help, then without the control of the cave, I will do my best to repair it. In the end, won't it be a wedding dress for the demons? Do you think I would do such a thing?"
Feng Qingan was unmoved. No matter how glorious it had been, it was gone. If he wanted to restore the original prosperity, he could only rely on him to work hard. But it wasn't his own cave? Why would he bother so much?
“…”
Hearing Feng Qingan's words, the nine snake heads were all startled, and then they had to admit that this made sense. Who would fight for something that had nothing to do with them?
"What kind of person with cerebral palsy do you think would go to great lengths, devote everything they have, to repair something that doesn't belong to them?"
Feng Qingan continued to ask.
"You have taken control of this level of the cave!"
The spirit of the cave reminded.
"But you can take back the power at any time. What I want is the power that can be firmly in my hands and will not be affected by any messy things!"
Feng Qing'an looked at the nine-headed snake, and the shock he had at first sight was almost gone.
The power of the cave spirit is still very strong for it, but Feng Qingan, who has gained some control, can also feel its weakness. If it does not get enough strong help, in a few thousand years, it will perish with the collapse of this cave.
"If I take charge of the cave and become its master, I will take the initiative to repair it without you saying anything. No one will tolerate the broken pieces of the treasure in their hands!"
Feng Qing'an, in turn, made promises to the spirit of the cave. Of course, this was not just empty promises. If it really came true, he would definitely find ways to repair the cave.
"You're right, but... you're too weak now!"
After hearing what Feng Qing'an said, the spirit of the cave was silent for a moment, then admitted it, but it gave Feng Qing'an a heavy blow in return.
"Um?"
Feng Qing'an didn't react for a moment.
"Even if I consider you the master, you can't bear this broken cave right now. You will be crushed. With your current strength, you can only control this level. If you want to truly control the cave, you need to become stronger!"
“Fuck!”
After much difficulty in persuading the spirit of the cave, he successfully tempted the other party to lower the demands further, but the final obstacle came from himself, which made Feng Qing'an unable to help but curse.
But he really had no choice. Cultivation was a step-by-step process and could not be accomplished overnight. He had never slacked off in the cultivation of his soul power, and the eighth soul contract was about to be completed.
But even if he completed the training of the Heavenly Beast Lord stage, he probably wouldn't be able to bear the contract with the Cave Spirit, which required him to enter a higher realm, otherwise, he would be crushed by the feedback power.
For a beastmaster, a cross-realm contract already carries the risk of damaging the soul, and crossing two major realms is simply seeking death.
People like Donghuang, who can actively restrain their own power and even perfectly control every bit of power, are rare. Be happy if you can meet one, but don't expect to meet a second one.
"Forget it. I can't actually control it, but nominal control is fine!"
"What in name?"
Jiu Ling was a little dazed.
"Can you call me Master?"
"?"
Nine snake heads as big as mountains looked at Feng Qingan with some confusion.
"Don't want to shout? Then forget it!"
"Wait a moment!"
"Um?"
"master!"
The spirit of the cave felt extremely awkward at this moment. It never expected that Feng Qing'an would make such a request to it.
"Hey, Xiaojiu!"
Feng Qingan immediately laughed.
"Come, tell me, how many layers does this cave have?"
“There are only seven floors now!”
"Hmm? There are seven more floors?"
"During its heyday, there were nine levels here, each level was different and could accommodate celestial demons!"
It can be seen that the spirit of the cave heaven misses the scenery of the cave heaven in its heyday. Although it has not seen it, it is eager to restore the cave heaven to its most prosperous state. This is its mission of birth.
"Show me!"
"good!"
The spirit of the cave, which had already compromised a part, naturally did not mind compromising more with Feng Qing'an, and Feng Qing'an also had a basic understanding of this cave that was mistakenly judged by the Xiao family to be a blessed land.
The first level is the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom that he has visited, and the second level is the Ten Thousand Demons Prison built by the Xiao family in cooperation with the Jin Dynasty. It is also the most vast level, and the evil spirits and demonic atmospheres in it have become substantial.
As for the third layer, it is also five hundred miles wide. It is the place where the thousand-year-old families multiply and are basically dominated by the human race, including several demon cavalry troops of the Xiao family.
These three levels are basically known to the outside world, but the Xiao family also controls the fourth level which has not been announced to the public, and this level is dominated by the demon clan.
