Chapter 8 - Thundering Hemlock Woods

After some time, Su Xian accompanied Wang Jian to his room before getting dismissed.

"Did Brother Feng really forget about me?" She whispered to herself as she began crying. Her pillow was soon drenched due to her sniffles.

Su Xian had a dream that night. In that dream, she witnessed Lin Feng living a blissful life with his three wives.

The next morning, she woke up with a rueful look. She recalled that there was a huge possibility that her dream could turn into reality.

In the meantime, Wang Jian utilized his 500 Destiny Points to learn the Royal Family's best cultivation technique. The Soaring Dragon Cultivation Technique.

Actually, only 200 Destiny Points were required to learn the Soaring Dragon Cultivation Technique. Wang Jian utilized 300 more Destiny Points to upgrade this technique to level 2.

There was a qualitative difference between the levels of a cultivation technique. The speed of absorption, the purity of energy, and the physique enhancement were some of the benefits gained through the level advancement.

The third level of the Soaring Dragon Cultivation Technique required 5000 Destiny Points. However, after reaching this level, Wang Jian's meridians would transform. They would be fortified by the pure Qi and would widen considerably to hold even more qi.

Wang Jian spent the rest of his time getting used to the Soaring Dragon Cultivation Technique. He was getting closer to the second stage of the Spirit Realm.

He then thought deeply regarding the situation with Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng should have utilized his Holy Qi to delay his wife's death. But this only buys him seven days. This indicates he has seven days to deal with the Devil Venom," Wang Jian spoke.

Wang Jian was under no delusion that Lin Feng couldn't treat this Devil Venom. He was sure that Lin Feng would think of a solution and apply it quickly.

That Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword is sure to assist him in this task.

Sure enough, Lin Feng found out that the second type of lightning in the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword is Devil Purging Blue Lightning.

To unlock the second type of lightning, Lin Feng had to slaughter nine Origin Beasts possessing pure Lightning Attribute. He had to bathe the sword in the blood of the beasts to awaken the second type of lightning.

At this moment, Lin Feng and Kang Huian were residing in a rest house near the Night Dagger Clan.

Fen Gen was delighted when Lin Feng arrived at his clan's hideout along with Kang Huian. This proved that Wang Jian's strategy worked perfectly.

However, Fen Gen was startled to discover that Kang Huian was struck with the Devil Venom.

Fen Gen knew that this must be Wang Jian's strategy, and his blood ran cold. As a veteran assassin, he was familiar with most poisons in the Everlasting Mystical Empire, and this poison scared him the most. This was because there was no known cure of this poison yet.

He never expected Wang Jian to possess this terrifying poison. Moreover, this strategy could have worked only if there were traitors in other tribes who were secretly collaborating with Wang Jian.

Fen Gen was forced to consider that his own tribe might hold such traitors.

He decided to keep a watchful eye on his members while thinking of a way to deal with Lin Feng's situation.

He knew that annoying Lin Feng at this moment would be a bad idea. This was the perfect opportunity to build a solid relationship with him.

However, Fen Gen also didn't want to risk his tribe's existence.

Kang Huian was a walking time-bomb. If she exploded while living inside the tribe, the entire tribe would be done for.

Lin Feng noticed Fen Gen's dilemma and suggested, "Give us a rest house near the tribe's outskirts and order a member to take care of Kang Huian's needs. This way, your tribe won't be affected during the explosion. I will personally clear the air and prevent the poison from coming in this direction."

Fen Gen felt Lin Feng's suggestion was quite suitable. Fortunately, there was no shortage of loyal members who would gladly risk their lives for the Night Dagger Clan.

Fen Gen selected a warrior and assigned him to Kang Huian's needs. It was a female member who was very close to Fen Gen.

Lin Feng seemed satisfied with this service and left shortly after.

He was searching for Beasts at Origin Realm as he wandered in the Thundering Hemlock Woods. These were just beside the Mellow Magnolia Woods where the three great tribes resided.

This Thundering Hemlock Woods was considered a forbidden jungle as a Beast at the Lord Rank ruled over it.

This beast is the Golden Flamingo. It's a beautiful small bird but possessing a tremendous power inside its tiny body.

This Golden Flamingo is one of its kind in the Thundering Hemlock Woods and rules over all the beasts in this forest.

There are naturally other Flamingos in the Thundering Hemlock Woods, but their bloodlines couldn't be compared to the Golden Flamingo. It's a freak of nature.

It's considered impossible to resist the lightning of this Golden Flamingo. This lightning is of the unique crimson color and possesses the law of annihilation that decimates everything in its path.

Moreover, the power of beasts in the Thundering Hemlock Woods is much greater compared to the beasts in Mellow Magnolia Woods.

In Mellow Magnolia Woods, the beasts stay united against the humans as they have to fight against the forces in the city and the three tribes as well.

However, the Thundering Hemlock Woods is different. There is a law of survival for the beasts.

Only the most aggressive and the strong beasts survive this vicious competition.

Thus, Spirit Realm Beasts are common in Mellow Magnolia Woods, while Origin Realm Beasts can be rarely found.
