Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 552 - 548
Chapter 552 -548
“Hmm?”
Qin Feng’s spirit stirred, and he suddenly turned his head, casting his gaze in that direction.
It would have been one matter if it were just any ordinary Sword Cultivator passing by, but these few individuals brazenly locked their aura onto the area where he stood, which certainly drew his attention.
They were several young people with sharp auras, each with a cold expression on their face and an aggressive demeanor, their eyes even revealing a sense of haughty pride.
Just like that, they made no secret of their auras, directly targeting this area, their Sword Intent aimed squarely at Qin Feng.
Such blatant behavior was telling: these individuals were undoubtedly here with malign intent.
Upon seeing this, the spectators couldn’t help but be astounded.
Having just witnessed a battle, everyone was in high spirits, and this new development only heightened their excitement.
The strength Qin Feng had displayed earlier dazzled everyone; even Duan Shanhe, with his formidable war power, was easily defeated by him, especially with the sudden appearance of those nine beastly heads that looked like dragons but not quite, with towering horns and powerful combat strength.
The subsequent summoning of several Purple Mansion Spirit Beasts also showcased immense strength, leaving the crowd dazzled. Only then did they realize that the true disciples of the Beast Taming Sect could command so many formidable Spiritual Beasts, instantly changing their previous perception of the Sect.
After all, the Beast Taming Sect had produced Li Miao Zhen, who made waves by wielding the White Tiger Saber, undefeated within ten thousand miles of Lingxiao City, challenging the old-guard Purple Mansions of the major sects in the Five Domains without a single defeat.
Now, Qin Feng had summoned so many formidable Purple Mansion Spirit Beasts at once. The sheer number and strength far exceeded the imaginations of ordinary folks.
Although different from Li Miao Zhen, who dominated all adversaries with her overwhelming combat strength, this method of battle was eye-opening, with many spectators becoming somewhat tempted.
If they could have the aid of so many Spiritual Beasts during expeditions to the Otherworld, their ability to preserve their lives would indeed greatly increase.
Unfortunately, they no longer had the chance to join the Beast Taming Sect, and being located far in the Southern Domain, ordinary people had no opportunity to make the long journey across domains.
However, this gave them an idea; perhaps they could try taming Spiritual Beasts or even consider purchasing them from the Beast Taming Sect.
After all, Spiritual Beasts trained by the Beast Taming Sect were not only more obedient and spiritually attuned but also not weak in combat. Importantly, they would stand their ground at critical moments, unlike many wildly untamed Demon Beasts that would flee at the first sign of danger.
What surprised everyone, though, was that Qin Feng had just displayed his formidable capabilities and someone was already rash enough to come forth and challenge him, which struck them as odd.
Qin Feng’s previous battle had convinced the onlookers of his strength. In the entire Cultivation World, apart from eminent True Disciples like Li Miao Zhen from various sects, ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators, even if they joined forces, were unlikely to be a match for him.
After all, besides his formidable combat strength, he also had the support of so many Spiritual Beasts in battle.
But now, there were those who came forward to issue a challenge.
With a rustle, the crowd on both sides of the street parted, opening a path and allowing the group of Sword Cultivators to pass through.
“It’s the Sword Cultivators from Taiyi Mountain!”
A cultivator with keen eyes immediately identified the unique mark of Taiyi Mountain on the newcomers.
“I was wondering who it could be; so it’s them coming for revenge,” bystanders realized, suddenly enlightened as to why someone would confront Qin Feng despite knowing his strength—as disciples of Taiyi Mountain, it was not surprising.
Despite their boldness, these true disciples from Taiyi Mountain also exuded aggressive auras.
It appeared that during their trials, they too had their gains, otherwise, having seen Qin Feng’s strength, ordinary people would hardly have the guts to challenge him.
A mix of envy arose within the hearts of the surrounding cultivators. It was a pity they had no chance to participate in such trials. Otherwise, they might have seized similar opportunities like those disciples, thus experiencing a surge in cultivation and a significant increase in strength.
While the onlooking cultivators harbored their thoughts, the group of young people had already entered the arena.
The leading individuals first nodded to Duan Shanhe, observing that he was unharmed and stirring something in their hearts. Quickly, several thoughts flashed through their minds, aware that the battles here were fully witnessed by the great powers beyond the Nine Heavens.
Although they were among the outstanding young generation, their abilities were still not regarded highly in the eyes of those great powers. However, since they had attracted the attention of those with great power, it meant that no matter the outcome of this conflict, they didn’t need to worry about life-threatening dangers.
With that reassurance, they could fight boldly, showcasing their skills before an audience, enhancing their reputation, and also contributing to their sect!
“Qin Feng!”
The leader was handsome, with a slender figure that would normally belong to a graceful young man. However, the intense aura radiating from his body, with Sword Qi emanating from every pore, made it so nobody wished to get too close to the invisible swords swirling within three feet of him.
His expression was stern, his tone ice-cold, “Our sects have had grievances for a long time, and killings have happened from time to time. We will not speak of right or wrong regarding past events.
Today, we are here for one purpose: The Red Lotus Sword from Taiyi Mountain is in your hands. It is an inheritance Treasure of the Red Lotus Lineage, not to be touched by outsiders. If you return it, we will leave immediately. Otherwise, today I shall ensure your downfall!”
“Heh heh…”
Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle, “Taiyi’s little Divine Sword, Ling Jiuyuan?”
“Yes, it’s me,” Ling Jiuyuan responded indifferently, nodding slightly.
As a disciple of the Divine Sword lineage from Taiyi Mountain, he was one of the top three characters among the contemporary True Disciples. Naturally, the Beast Taming Sect would have collected information on him.
Originally, there were two others who stood equal to him, vying for the position of the number one True Disciple. However, during this trial, he gained the most opportunities and had new insights in the trial world, causing his Sword Dao Cultivation to surge and his strength to leap ahead, making him the strongest among all the True Disciples of Taiyi Mountain. He had become the leading figure.
However, Qin Feng glanced at Zhuo Feifan, standing to his left, and another True Disciple standing to his right, and couldn’t help but chuckle internally. It seemed these two were unlikely to concede to his lead.
That made sense. Just like his own Beast Taming Sect, there were four people in this generation of True Disciples who stood out. But to say who was the strongest was somewhat difficult to determine.
Li Miao Zhen didn’t need mentioning, her temperament was that of a battle-crazed woman, growing stronger with each fight. Many times, even if her opponents were higher in Cultivation and more profoundly accumulated, they would still end up defeated by her hands.
Her strength was not only reflected in her Cultivation but also in her exceptionally superior combat awareness. In terms of seizing opportunities in battle, no one in the Beast Taming Sect could compare with her. This was a talent one could not help but acknowledge.

Lianxing was devoted to the Dao and focused on Cultivation. Although she disliked fighting, she had never lost since she made her debut.
As for Gu Wumou, there was no need to mention him further. Although he always kept a low profile, those who hide their fangs are often the most vicious. When opponents fail to notice him, he is ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
As for Qin Feng himself, apart from his own Dao Cultivation, his greatest war power came from his Spiritual Beast.
It could even be said that his Spiritual Beast was his strongest war power.
In terms of Cultivation alone, although Qin Feng admitted he hadn’t gone as far on a single path as Li Miao Zhen, who would win or lose in a fight could only be determined through comparison. However, at the current stage, they were most likely evenly matched, as they would not go all out in a spar, and many techniques could not be used.
But if his Spiritual Beast was included, Qin Feng believed he would be the strongest, as the Spiritual Beasts under his command were undoubtedly the most formidable among all True Disciples. In a fight to the death, he was sure to be the victor.
However, Li Miao Zhen and the others likely held similar confidence, not related to strength, but rather a kind of confidence that the very top among their peers all possessed.
Of course, Qin Feng was uncertain if the others had any powerful trump cards, especially since Lianxing and Gu Wumou had not revealed their abilities in front of him.
His gaze nonchalantly swept over Zhuo Feifan. Though he could not discern this person’s thoughts, seeing the Sword Intent raging about him and hinting at being on par with Ling Jiuyuan made it clear that he was not willing to be surpassed.
However, this was Lingxiao City and even beyond the Nine Heavens, there were Great Powers from various Sects in attendance. Although those Great Powers would not always focus their attention on these juniors, just leaving a portion of their spirit here was enough to know what happened in this place.
Therefore, whether it was Qin Feng or Zhuo Feifan, neither showed any abnormalities.
Qin Feng maintained a playful expression on his face, whereas Zhuo Feifan had a fierce glint in his eyes and a look of hidden hatred, neither losing rationality nor showing the unyielding enmity between them. It had to be said, this guy was getting better and better at acting.
“Now that the greater situation is at hand, and Biluo is on the rise, we do not wish to fight with you at this time.”
Ling Jiuyuan’s demeanor remained indifferent, and while his tone didn’t seem aggressive, his words conveyed an unquestionable message, “If you give up the Red Lotus Sword, I assure you that during the expedition, as long as our two Sects do not start any new disputes, no one from Taiyi Mountain will target you.”
“You want me to give up the Red Lotus Sword just because of a few words?”
Qin Feng glanced at him, with a hint of derision on his face, “You think you’re worthy?”
Facing Qin Feng’s mocking words, Ling Jiuyuan didn’t get angry. He seemed to enter a profound and mystical state, showing neither joy nor sorrow, without alarm or fear—truly a promising Sword Cultivator.
“I won’t let you go unrewarded. During the trial, I obtained an Exotic Treasure called the Abyss Eye, made by an Otherworld Divine Being.
Not only can this Treasure look upon the Nine Heavens and gauge the depths of the Abyss, possessing the marvelous ability to see through emptiness and reveal the truth of illusory spaces, but it also has various wonderful uses, truly mysterious and infinite. I offer this Divine Artifact in exchange for the Red Lotus Sword, what do you think?”
As he spoke, Ling Jiuyuan waved his hand and released a Divine Artifact.
This artifact was completely spherical and covered with weird Runes, resembling an evil eyeball.
Yet its aura was unfathomable, and among the crowd were those with keen eyes who quickly recognized that this odd Treasure was indeed comparable to an Immortal Artifact.
Moreover, Detection Type treasures like this were very rare, so their price was even higher than those Immortal Artifacts used for combat.
Seeing Ling Jiuxiao offer such a rare Treasure in exchange for the Red Lotus Sword made the surrounding crowd somewhat envious.
“No way!”
However, Qin Feng merely glanced at the artifact once, losing interest immediately, and bluntly shook his head, outright refusing.
This caused confusion. After all, to the onlookers, the Red Lotus Sword had lost its grade and couldn’t be exchanged for a Divine Artifact, let alone a rare Detection Type Treasure, if it wasn’t for Taiyi Mountain’s Red Lotus Lineage. But contrary to expectations, Qin Feng flatly refused.
Was he unwilling to reconcile with Taiyi Mountain and wanted to keep this Divine Artifact to continue damaging Taiyi Mountain’s reputation?
However, this would not only hurt Taiyi Mountain’s image but would also make Qin Feng a thorn in the side for all Sword Cultivators of Taiyi Mountain, eventually attracting major trouble.
Even Ling Jiuyuan, who had always been expressionless, showed a hint of surprise on his face, then his expression cooled, and his aura became more threatening, “What, my Divine Artifact is not worthy of the Red Lotus Sword?”
