Chapter 439: Nonhuman Lifeform

Bei Feng knew that for these people, this mission was like a final straw of hope that they were clinging desperately to. Anyone that stood in their way would be annihilated by the combined strength of everyone!
The group quickly dispersed with the fastest possible speed, leaving behind a scene of devastation and a death toll of over a hundred thousand people!
“These people are really a bunch of lunatics! I suggest that we use the nuclear weapons on them!”
“I second that!”
“Those people completely do not have the law in their eyes at all. They simply treat human lives as grass, implicating a hundred thousand people!”
“We have been very accommodating with them in every area, but look at what they’re doing!”
Such a degree of damage, and the scale of the commotion—there was no way something like this could be hidden from the government. At this time, a group of high-level generals and politicians were complaining heatedly in a secured location.
“This matters stops here. They’ve given us sufficient compensation, to the point that they’ve felt the pain,” an old man at the front of the group suddenly said in a gruff voice, signaling for a stack of documents to be passed to everyone.
After reading through the documents, everyone stopped talking. However, their faces were still filled with fury.
Seeing this, the old man sighed and shook his head sadly. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to take action. It was just that it wasn’t the correct time yet.
Once they angered this group of people, the entire country would be affected heavily.
Bei Feng brought Mystic One and the rest with him back to Blue Spirit Mountain range.
Eight years had gone by, and the mountain was filled with peach blossoms. A sweet fragrance permeated the entire mountain.
Beautiful peach blossoms hung on every tree. The season was well past the period for peach blossoms, but here, the flowers were still blooming resplendently.
“Boss, I need to enter a period of seclusion. I’ve gained some insights into the Controlled Dan realm, and I’m fairly confident now. If I’m fast, I’ll only need three to five days. If I’m slow, I’ll break through to the Controlled Dan realm in at most 10 days to a month!” Bai Xiang said excitedly as soon as they came back.
Bei Feng nodded his head and reminded seriously, “Be careful, make sure to work within your means.”
Bai Xiang was a dual cultivator, and it was not impossible for dual cultivators to form two inner dans. Bei Feng’s meaning was that he should not attempt this and give up on one path if it was beyond his ability.
“I understand.”
Bai Xiang nodded heavily and went into the villa.
“Meep! Meep!”
The little fox dashed out of the house and grabbed onto Bei Feng’s trousers excitedly.
Bei Feng chuckled and picked up the little fellow with a sad smile on his face.
The little fox’s glossy fur was no longer there, replaced with dry and coarse straw-like hair. Its beady black eyes were now dim and tired.
Bei Feng felt a deep heartache as he gently revolved his blood and Qi energy, carefully refreshing the little fellow’s bones and muscles.
After so many years, the little fox had grown old. The Fox of Natural and Human Catastrophe was a creature that attracted the jealousy of the heavens. It couldn’t cultivate, and even eating the blood and flesh of creatures that were filled with immense blood and Qi was not very useful for it.
The little fox closed its eyes comfortably, soon falling asleep with tiny wheezing noises coming out of its nose.
Bei Feng felt extremely complicated in his heart, and after a long time, he finally withdrew his hands and placed the little fellow down onto the bed lightly.
The little fox was a creature that possessed an ability which went against the very heavens. However, it could not cultivate, and could not evolve into a Demonic Beast.
Since it couldn’t become a Demonic Beast, its lifespan was naturally very limited. In the blink of an eye, it’d reached the aged stage of its life.
After setting down everything, Bei Feng started to tend to his own body. For the sake of breaking through, he’d incurred many hidden injuries. Even though most of his injuries had healed after he broke through, he could not be careless about the remaining ones.
Holding two top grade spirit stones in his hands, the incredibly pure energy inside them turned into streams of gentle Qi which flowed into his body.
Under the lead of his mental power, the energy flowed towards the areas that were hurt.
Countless tiny, seemingly undetectable blood vessels were carefully being mended by Bei Feng at this moment. These were all the vessels that’d been damaged by the purple blood when he was breaking through.
Right now, Bei Feng wanted to fix these vessels one by one, and use the energy from the spirit stones to fortify and nourish them.
The sun’s rays shone down unceasingly, flowing into Bei Feng’s stellar acupoint. The sun’s energy was the most resplendent of the stellar energy flowing into Bei Feng’s body. The other kinds of stellar energy were much weaker, but they could not be disregarded.
12 points of light shone in Bei Feng’s body. This was his result in this eight years; the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique had already reached the peak of minor completion. With just one more stellar acupoint, he would reach the grand completion level!
But Bei Feng did not put too much attention on it. The Fusang Wood Tree and the Evergreen Laurel Tree in his body had already grown into towering trees, capable of supporting the stellar acupoint’s space!
Atop each of the two divine trees was a fist-sized fruit that shone brightly with light.
99 percent of the stellar energy that was absorbed went directly to those fruits. Atop the trees, the two balls of light pulsed gently as though a beating heart.
Bei Feng knew that the two balls of light were hatching a stellar god within each of them. But without any special stroke of fortune, it probably would be impossible to fill these two bottomless pits with enough energy for them to ripen.
Bei Feng opened his eyes and spat out a breath of turbid air. The breath of air was heavy, and contained threads of black mist.
With all his affairs settled, Bei Feng walked over to the well as a fishing rod appeared in his hands. Without any hesitation, he cast the line down the well gently.
***
Within the Myriad Worlds, an incomparably vast flatland. This was a paradise for treasure seekers.
There wasn’t a name for this flatland, but most people call it the Red Sea.
This was obviously a vast plain, but why was it called Red Sea?
That was because every inch of land here was red. Similar to an ocean, it was boundless, and one could not see to the end of it even when they cast their eyes out. This vast plain was a land that’d been completely dyed red with blood, and underneath the red ground was an actual sea of blood!
Countless skeletons and some pallid white mineral ores littered this boundlessly large plains. A large group of weak humans was spread out all over the plains, seemingly looking for something among the mountains of bones and minerals.
A little girl with a dirty face and two small braids said pitifully, “Grandfather, I’m so hungry.”
“Be good, I’ll make you something to eat in a while once we get home.”
The old man’s clothes were tattered and filled with patches sewn on in a rough manner. His face held the scars and marks left by time.
The old man wriggled his nose, and continued digging in the mountain of skeletons with his little hoe. The little girl did not seem to be afraid of the countless skeletons around her at all. In contrast, she seemed extremely used to such an environment.
“Dang! Dang!”
The old man’s crooked back that was soaked with sweat hunched over further as he lifted up his hoe and swung it down again and again.
When his hoe struck down another time, the old man’s breathing suddenly quickened as an excited smile filled his face. A withered skull looked back up at him, its eyes eerily empty. Beside the skull was a fist-sized pale white stone. On the surface of the stone was a tiny silver-white crystal, about the size of a grain of rice.
The colors of the stone and the crystal were extremely similar, but the old man had managed to recognize the difference with just a single glance. Carefully, he used the hoe to pry the stone apart and retrieved the little silver-white crystal. Then, after looking around carefully for a while, he kept the crystal away.
“Come, we’re going back home to eat.”
The old man looked up at the sky and saw that the day was growing darker. A warm smile appeared on his face as he picked up the little girl and placed her in the bamboo basket on his back. After that, he proceeded down the mountain of skeletons slowly.
Those that came here to seek for treasures were all aiming for this crystal. A tiny crystal the size of a grain of rice was enough to exchange for living necessities to support an ordinary family for an entire month!
This crystal was actually a kind of solidified life essence of a type of nonhuman life form. It could be used to increase a person’s zhenqi and nourish the body. It was similar to spirit stones, but much rarer than them.
