Chapter 377: Contract Cave Spirit
"So that's how it is. So this is the cave heaven!"
The handsome and sunny young man was lying on his back on His body was in a miserable state, and many parts of his torso were pierced, revealing the burnt and carbonized flesh and blood tissue.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is that the bone wings behind this extraordinary young man only have some carbonized flesh and blood residues at the roots. The wings that should have been holy and flawless have been destroyed and only the skeleton is left.
"It's really not something I could covet."
The winged young man, who had fallen into this mortal world and was able to attract the admiration of most women and even make the powerful have false thoughts about him just by his appearance, had a relieved smile on his face.
The handsome face, which was originally vigorous and full of vitality, became old at a speed visible to the naked eye. Wrinkles appeared on it, and there were ravines all over it, and a sense of death emerged.
"Senior, you actually dare to covet the Lord's cave. With such courage, I don't know whether I should admire you or laugh at your arrogance and ignorance."
A clear torrent appeared in the sky, and the Mermaid King appeared, looking noble and graceful, holding a golden trident.
"You dare to appear in front of me now? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
The Feathered King, whose face had aged rapidly and had turned from a young man into a middle-aged man, stared at the handsome and graceful Mermaid King with indifferent and lifeless eyes.
"I'm afraid you don't have the energy to do that now, Senior."
Only three meters away from the ground, the Mermaid King was very confident. The reason why she dared to show up was that she was sure that the old king had no doubts. Moreover, she was now in the Lord's cave, with double guarantees, she really couldn't find a reason to be timid.
"Besides, what position do you have to kill me now?"
"Why don't I have a position?"
The Feathered King, whose face had already turned into an old man and was still aging rapidly, said expressionlessly.
"Senior wanted to kill me because I brought disaster to the Qiongyu Clan. But what you are doing now is sowing the seeds of extinction for the Qiongyu Clan. In comparison, you are even worse than what I have done."
"It all started with you."
"But you, Senior, haven't been able to control your greed and delusions, have you?"
"Sweet words and flattering manner!"
"It's up to you, Senior. After all, you are almost at the stage of metamorphosis now."
The Mermaid King glanced at the old winged man's legs. There was not much flesh and blood left. At the ends of the legs that were covered with cracks, a light like flying feathers had appeared, like dancing fireflies, floating towards the sky.
For a practitioner, this is already a sign that the end has come, and it is already the moment of death. It won’t be long before this old guy who she fears so much will be gone, and all the accumulation of a lifetime of practice will be returned to the world.
"What a pity."
The old feathered man did not feel any emotion at all about the Mermaid King's somewhat sarcastic words. After all, he had experienced everything he should have experienced in his long life. At the end of his life, he made an attempt that he knew was impossible and experienced some of the majesty of the celestial beings. Of course, he had some regrets, but they were not that strong.
As for the continuation of the clan, he didn't care so much about it at the moment. After all, he was almost gone, so why think so much about it.
He devoted most of his life to his tribe. It didn't make sense that he should worry about it so much in his last period.
Although he brought disaster to the tribe, he preferred to believe in the wisdom of his descendants and find ways to continue the tribe's bloodline.
If it really cannot continue, then there is nothing we can do but let it be destroyed. He can't see it anyway, and he has already done what he should do.
"What a daring wretch!"
Nearly half of his body had turned into a firefly-like spiritual light, and the winged man who was scattered in the cave world looked up at the sky calmly.
But in the last stage of his life, he heard mocking voices, as if they were laughing at a arrogant and ignorant wretch.
The mermaid queen was unaware and did not react in any way to the sound, but it was this that made Lao Wang aware of something unusual. He suddenly opened his eyes, which were about to close, and tried to find the source of the sound.
Then, he saw a huge creature hovering high in the sky, overlooking the mountains and rivers of the vast world.
It was not a presence that appeared suddenly, he had always been there, overlooking everything from the sky. It was just that the creatures in the Cave Heaven Realm, including the Cave Heaven Realm, that he was staring at had always been unable to detect it. It was only when he was on his deathbed and most of his body had transformed and merged into the Cave Heaven Realm that they were able to sense it.
"It turns out that there really is a will that controls everything in this cave world. I thought there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. I was too naive to have such unrealistic delusions."
The old winged man looked at the huge creature in the sky, which had nine heads that looked like dragons but not dragons, and like snakes but not snakes, and a neck that stretched out as long as mountains.
The huge existence that almost completely obscured the sky had an unparalleled visual impact, but this did not surprise the old feathered man too much.
In the deep and lightless sea, he had seen ancient species of unimaginable size. Moreover, just now, he had also seen the big Kun that the human race brought to the tribe.
"Can you see me?"
Noticing the gaze of the stranger below who was trying to get his hands on the Cave Heaven Realm, Jiu Ling looked at him with disdain.
"With this kind of talent, you dare to get involved in the cave heaven. You are overestimating yourself!"
Every move of this winged man after he entered the cave was under his watch and control. He actually tried to refine the cave with his own power.
I don't know whether to praise him for his intelligence, stupidity, or naivety.
This strange man realized that the cave heaven was still in an ownerless state and was not truly controlled by anyone, so he had a crazy idea and wanted to become the master of the cave heaven.
This was naturally something Jiu Ling could not allow, so he drew the power of the cave heaven and turned it into a heavenly punishment, which completely drained the last bit of life from the old winged man, and then he quietly watched him pass away.
Everything was within his expectations and control, including the fact that the winged man could see it now, because he was also in a state of integration with the cave heaven and could naturally see the spirit of the cave heaven.
"Only fairies can catch your eye. I am so old that I am not worthy of you at all."
The old feathered man did not think there was anything wrong with being despised. After all, compared with the immortals, he was just like a mayfly or a speck of dust, insignificant.
"A celestial being?!"
Jiu Ling sneered, as if with disdain. He had no intention of communicating with the man below who had only a head and half of his body left.
Although there are only a few who can communicate with him, the guy below is not worthy.
“You have great courage!”
The figure of a young man with wings on his back emerged from the cave, and he expressed high admiration for the woman, of whom only a head was left.
The person is going to die anyway, so there is no harm in saying a few more nice words, and he won't lose anything.
To be honest, he did not expect that this old and dying Feathered Man would become so crazy after entering his cave, drawing on his remaining blood and energy to bring his body into the peak state, and then began to invade the great laws of the cave, attempting to replace him and become the master of this cave.
If it was an ownerless cave, maybe this old guy could succeed, but the problem was that if it was an ownerless cave, it would be impossible to open the passage for him to come in.
Anyone who can come in must be controlled by someone, just like now. Feng Qing'an, although not in charge of Jiushou Cave Heaven, can also give remote commands through Jiuling. There is no difference. Of course, this difference will be erased by him soon.
[Main Mission 5: Promoted to the Beast King]
[Requirements: Condense the eleventh to fifteenth soul contracts, and successfully contract a living being with potential or combat power above the king level]
[Reward: "Spiritual Fusion"]
Now he has become a true beast king. What he lacks is only the corresponding secret technique. This only requires him to contract a creature with potential or combat power that reaches the king level or above. This is too simple . Feng Qingan has already selected his target.
The Spirit of the Cave
It is not a creature in the ordinary sense. Its existence is so special that most creatures in this world cannot even see it.
Only when one's status reaches a certain level can one discover its existence and communicate with it. However, due to its own particularity, it is restricted within the cave and cannot even reveal the slightest trace of its existence outside the cave.
"you!"
Old Wang, who was already left with only a head left, could not care about Feng Qingan's praise and remained calm. His cloudy eyes reflected Feng Qingan's new attitude at the moment.
Not only did he look not much different from their Qiongyu tribe, but more importantly, he also felt a blood pressure from this human boy that was far superior to him, as if his ancestor, who had originally been soaring in the ancient times, had crossed the long river of time and descended into this world.
There is no doubt that this is beyond the reach of most of the Feathered People, making them call it impossible, but the emotions of the old Feathered People are even more excited.
"This is impossible. Why would our ancestors favor an alien like you and ignore us?"
The old winged man was extremely excited. If he still had a body at this moment, he might have pounced down. But unfortunately, he only had a head left, and the mouth part began to turn into a firefly-like light and dissipated into the cave.
What he was sending out now was just an extremely excited and agitated thought. At this moment, he was extremely manic, but Feng Qingan could understand his strange emotion.
After all, this old feathered man is really good. If he had a little more support and motivation from his bloodline, he might be able to leap into a completely new realm and open up a whole new world. Life would be very different from then on, but unfortunately, he no longer has the chance.
"I don't know about that, but I have to praise you. Your ancestors had good vision to choose a hero like me."
Feng Qing'an was very satisfied with the old feathered man's mood. He had now figured out that the Nine Heavens Qi left behind by the ancestor of the Qiongyu Clan after his death had no self-will.
It was just an instinctive attraction to things that were similar to it, and the divine body that he possessed was obviously closer to this Nine Heavens Qi in essence.
Therefore, it was only natural and reasonable to gain closeness to this energy of several days, control it, and turn it into one's own use.
However, this kind of thing is extremely shocking to the descendants of the previous owner of the Nine Heavens Qi, and it is a great test of the Tao heart.
The mentality of the old winged man in front of him, who had only half of his head left, exploded, but it didn't matter, he was going to die anyway.
"I won't accept this!"
After hearing Feng Qing'an's words, the old winged man left one last thought, and then turned into a rain of light that rushed back to the sky and dissipated, leaving only a magnificent scene that made Feng Qing'an stop and admire it for a long time.
"master!"
Nine ferocious yet majestic heads descended from the sky, surrounding Feng Qingan and the Mermaid King who were nearby.
The Mermaid King didn't react to what happened. He couldn't see Jiu Ling's existence, but through the old feathered man's last words before his death and Feng Qing'an's reaction, he vaguely guessed that some invisible existence that she couldn't notice had already arrived around her.
It is better to be still than to move. At this moment, the Mermaid King was very obedient, just like a maid, and stood respectfully behind Feng Qingan.
"If this birdman's strength reaches a higher level, is it possible that he will ignore your will and forcibly refine and control this place?"
Feng Qing'an looked up at Jiu Ling and asked.
"That's probably still unlikely, unless a celestial being comes here in person, otherwise, don't even think about ignoring me."
Jiu Ling pondered for a moment, then said confidently.
"Only a celestial being can ignore your will?"
Feng Qingan took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.
"Then I order you to surrender to me and offer me everything you have, will you obey?"
"Master, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time!"
It is obvious that he is a spirit that can suppress the earthly immortals by relying on the power of the cave heaven, but at this moment, an extremely obvious look of flattery can be seen on that head covered with scales and bone mask.
"I'm really sorry then."
The deep purple soul power shone on Feng Qingan's palm, and then turned into a ring.
"Don't resist!"
The purple soul light shot up into the sky, stretching for thousands of miles. The young man's face twisted slightly at this moment, and then his face turned extremely pale, as if all the blood in his body had been devoured by some bloodthirsty monster.
[Race: Cave Spirit]
[Attributes: Heaven, Earth, Spirit]
[Potential Level: Immortal·Low Level]
[Combat Power Level: Domination·Superior]
Undoubtedly, this is the most unique and most transcendent existence that Feng Qingan has ever contracted. Theoretically, it spans two realms. Even the most special beastmaster would be torn to pieces in an instant if it were established with it.
But the spirit of the cave is too special, so special that it is impossible to define it accurately. Although establishing a relationship with it will involve considerable risks, there is no need to worry about one's life, so compared to the rewards, it is completely worth it.
