Chapter 652: Chapter 264: More and More Strange Events (Part 2)

”Boom---Boom---Boom---”

Suddenly, the violent Innate Qi hit the mountain behind straight on, creating a series of roars that echoed throughout the mountain valley.

Xiao Bai instinctively looked back and saw that the extremely hard mountain had a pit three meters deep. Beyond the pit, countless cracks like spider webs spread out. If the mountain were not large enough, that blow might have collapsed it.

”Xiao Bai, you can’t be distracted during a fight!!”

As Xiao Bai was still shocked, the voice of its master Xu Ran came to its ears. Before it could react, a strong impact came from its wings. When it looked down, it saw Xu Ran’s fist already landing on its wings.

The powerful impact sent Xiao Bai’s body falling backward, landing precisely in the pit created by the Innate Qi earlier.

”Puh--”

The injured Xiao Bai spat out a mouthful of blood, its size reverting to its original one meter.

The first practice duel ended with Xu Ran’s victory.

Xu Ran came to Xiao Bai’s side, transferring Innate Qi to it and said, ”Xiao Bai, you can’t be distracted during a fight. If this were a life-and-death battlefield, you would be dead!!”

Xu Ran had survived the life-and-death battlefield before, where people did whatever it took to survive. And in battle, the most taboo thing is to be distracted, unless you have overwhelmingly superior power.

Now Xiao Bai realized the gap between itself and its master Xu Ran.

Clearly, it only regarded this practice as a simple spar, but Master Xu Ran treated it as a real life-and-death battle, which is why he went all out.

In battle, it even got distracted to look at the destruction caused by its master, which was like not wanting to live longer.

This is the difference between bloodline inheritance and real combat experience.

Even though the Kunpeng bloodline within its body just helped it break through the suppression of Innate Qi, giving it many combat instincts that were not its own, experience is experience and cannot be replaced by simple instinct.

After a lecture to Xiao Bai, Xu Ran sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully recalling the earlier battle scenes, and got a rough understanding of the [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body].

This physique can purify all negative powers within the body. Simply put, it’s immune to all poisons, has extremely high affinity with the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, learns rapidly, and can greatly enhance the power of Divine Techniques.

It can be said that this physique is flawless in every aspect!

”Once Xiao Bai recovers fully, we will experiment again.”

If this [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body] can amplify the power of Divine Techniques, what about the [Annihilation Tribulation Light]?

...

Not long after, the Innate Qi circulated in Xiao Bai’s body for hundreds of cycles, and its previous injuries were completely healed.

Xiao Bai got up and stretched its muscles. Seeing this, Xu Ran said, ”Xiao Bai, continue!”

Xiao Bai instantly got excited. Just now, Master Xu Ran’s lecture made it realize its shortcomings, and similarly, its own use of [Wind Control Skill] was not as adept as its master’s.

It prided itself on having cultivated [Wind Control Skill] to the same level as Master Xu Ran, but in terms of flexibility and versatility, it was far from matching him.

Just now, Master Xu Ran could detect its presence merely by perceiving the subtle flow of the wind, which was enough to highlight this problem.

Practicing with Master Xu Ran was absolutely beneficial for it.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai entered combat mode, having just perfected [Divine Eagle Skill] and was about to perform [Wind Control Skill], only to feel a terrifying aura emanate from in front.

Looking over, it saw a white light emanating from Master Xu Ran’s forehead, like a pristine lotus. This aura also contained an endless amount of Innate Qi.

However, this Innate Qi felt different. The initial Innate Qi was violent and contained boundless strength, whereas this time it was destructive.

The Innate Qi filled with a destructive aura condensed at Master Xu Ran’s forehead, and in no time, this destructive presence reached its peak.

”Xiao Bai, brace yourself!!”

Suddenly, Master Xu Ran’s voice came from the white lotus, and upon hearing it, the Kunpeng bloodline within Xiao Bai also sensed this destructive force. The remaining Innate Qi surged fiercely from its body, forming a white shield on its surface.

As soon as the shield stood firm, the white light arrived right in front.

”Boom-----”

Similarly, a roar that shook the entire Great Mountain was heard, accompanied by a dazzling white light emitting from the mountain valley. Even though it was daytime, a strange white glow could be seen sticking out from the Great Mountain.

Villagers from the Great Wilderness Border Village hunting the Snake Demon in the distance saw the dazzling light coming from inside the mountain, which made them unable to open their eyes at one point.

After a full ten breaths of time, the light slowly dissipated, and everyone gradually opened their eyes, but before them was still a field of white, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

”Is everyone alright?” Xu Binghu’s voice rang out.

Despite being unable to see, no one was particularly frightened; instead, they responded orderly.

”We’re fine!”

”It’s normal not to see; it’ll be fine in a moment!” said Elder Qi’s voice.

When someone emerges from darkness to embrace the light, some time is needed for adjustment, and this situation is quite similar, requiring time to recover as well.

After some time, everyone’s vision returned to normal.

”What happened inside the Great Mountain? Why was there such an intense white light all of a sudden?” Elder Qi asked in confusion.

”Not sure.” Xu Binghu shrugged, ”Lately, strange things are happening more and more in the Great Mountain, but as long as we don’t go deep, there shouldn’t be any issues. The villagers have all undergone a second round of body refining, and by working together, we can manage to hunt the outermost demon beasts.”

He then turned his gaze to the children behind him, ”Remember, without absolute power, never venture deeply into the Great Mountain. Those who can emit such intense white light, whether human or demon beast, are not to be provoked. A minor mistake could lead to a complete demise!”

Xu Binghu’s tone was very serious.

The children who had been following Xu Binghu’s teachings had never heard such a stern tone before, responding in unison, ”Understood!”

”Good!” Xu Binghu was very satisfied with their response, then looked at Elder Qi, ”Elder Qi, something might be happening inside the Great Mountain today. To be safe, let’s end it here for today!”

”Alright.”

...

In the meantime.

At the mountain valley.

There was a charred spot on the mountain behind Xu Ran and others, as if it had been roasted by fire. Upon closer inspection, the mountain appeared to have a hole forcefully punched through, showcasing the power of Xu Ran’s current [Annihilation Tribulation Light]!

At this moment, Xu Ran had his hands on Xiao Bai’s back, continuously transmitting Innate Qi into its body.

”Xiao Bai, how long will it take to recover?” Xu Ran asked.

Feeling embarrassed, Xiao Bai could not lift its proud head, only lowering it silently.

”Sorry, Xiao Bai, I didn’t know the [Annihilation Tribulation Light] would strip all your feathers. When I slayed the giant eagle, it didn’t have any feather-removal effect!”

That’s right, the previous [Annihilation Tribulation Light] not only injured Xiao Bai but also completely removed all its feathers.

Healing the injury was one thing, but losing feathers felt unpleasant.

However, not long after, the injuries were fully healed through Innate Qi, and now Xu Ran was trying to see if the feathers could grow back.

Just as Xiao Bai was somewhat in despair, a tingling sensation came from its body. When Xu Ran looked down, he found feathers visibly sprouting from its once-bare body.

”Xiao Bai, it’s alright, the feathers are growing back!”

Upon hearing the good news, Xiao Bai beamed with joy!!

That earlier strike with [Annihilation Tribulation Light] had faster cohesion and greater power than before, even wounding Xiao Bai, who had fully activated its Divine Techniques. Without his Innate Qi, Xiao Bai would have needed at least a year and a half to recuperate.

The fact that even a ten-meter-deep hole was punched into the mountain illustrates its power.

”The [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body] is indeed formidable, greatly enhancing every aspect of cultivation.”
