All the ways have the same origin

Ye Feipeng found that cultivating the "Canghai Swimming Dragon Technique" was indeed smoother than the "Sea Quelling Divine Sword".

On the second day after switching his Cultivation Technique, he successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining.

Combined with the Medicinal Pill fed to him by the Immortal Master, he was able to leverage a sliver of the power hidden within his body.

After his Physical Body was strengthened, even Sun Erlang, who was in the Late Stage of Qi Refining, was no match for him in actual combat.

Having solidified his status as the "King of Children" on the island, Ye Feipeng finally felt a bit more at ease.

At the same time, he understood a principle: if he wanted to Cultivate faster, apart from his own Aptitude and hard work, it was even more important to please that Immortal Master.

From the Immortal Master's inadvertent remarks, Ye Feipeng learned that he seemed to place great importance on the refining progress of that [Beast God Orb].

Therefore, in his spare time from Cultivating, Ye Feipeng never forgot to keep the Beast God Orb with him at all times, carefully contemplating it.

One day, after falling into a deep sleep while holding the Beast God Orb, he seemed to have a dream.

In the dream, he saw a hideous and terrifying nine-headed bird suspended above the firmament.

Its massive body nearly occupied the entire sky.

Each of its nine heads was devouring something in its mouth.

With Ye Feipeng's current knowledge, he recognized the struggling and twisting severed limbs of a Dragon, an entire intact mountain range, the branches of a dark gray giant tree…

The surroundings were filled with desperate and painful wails, and the world was bathed in a bloody color.

Ye Feipeng's young mind was deeply shocked by this doomsday-like scene.

He stood there blankly, unable to move.

Just then, one of the nine-headed bird's heads in the sky seemed to discover his presence.

Its eyeballs turned slightly, casting a gaze as if looking at food.

Being stared at by this fierce Vicious Beast, fear instantly occupied Ye Feipeng's mind.

Under the shadow of the nine-headed bird, the next moment, it seemed he was about to be swallowed into its belly.

Just then, Ye Feipeng heard a loud, distant cry in his ears.

It seemed to come from the deep sea, and also seemed to originate from the sky.

The cry was filled with defiance and anger.

His eyes turned blood-red, and Ye Feipeng's originally frozen body immediately returned to normal.

Attracted by this inexplicably appearing cry, the nine heads in the sky all turned over at once.

Ye Feipeng woke up from the nightmare with a start.

Panting violently, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, recalling the scene he had just seen in his dream.

"That nine-headed bird must be the exotic beast Sealed within the Beast God Orb."

"But what was that cry I heard later?"

Ye Feipeng's small face was full of confusion.

However, he was very clear that whatever could attract the attention of the nine-headed bird must also be something extremely extraordinary.

Without mentioning it to anyone else, Ye Feipeng just kept this matter firmly in his heart.

In the following days, Ye Feipeng discovered that when he Cultivated the "Creation Furnace Art", he became more at ease.

The power hidden within the human body, which previously required careful handling to leverage even a little bit, now became exceptionally easy for him to invoke.

He could even directly ignore side effects like dizziness and short-term turbulence of Qi and blood.

His Physical Body strength improved rapidly at a speed that even he himself feared; while Ye Feipeng was secretly happy, he inevitably felt a bit of fear of the unknown.

Therefore, in sparring sessions with his companions, he did not use his full strength.

Like the Celestial Sun Puppet, each time he just happened to defeat his opponent.

Just like that, another period of time passed.

One day, the Immortal Master arrived at Body Transformation Island once again.

He inspected everyone's Cultivation progress as usual, took the particularly slack Xiao Heng as an example, and after reprimanding and punishing him for a while.

The Immortal Master then took Ye Feipeng alone into a secret chamber to examine him.

In the long silence, Ye Feipeng felt a bit nervous.

In the end, he couldn't hold it back and told the Immortal Master about what he had seen in his dream, as well as the changes that had recently occurred in his body.

After pondering for a moment, the Immortal Master decided to give him a comprehensive examination.

So Ye Feipeng fell into a drowsy sleep.

After he woke up, he found that he seemed to have become a bit weak.

The Immortal Master thoughtfully handed him a Medicinal Pill again.

After Ye Feipeng swallowed it, he immediately felt much more energetic.

"You were too eager for success and, through a moment of carelessness, were infected by the Evil Qi of the nine-headed bird," the Immortal Master said in his incomparably cold voice.

Ye Feipeng was startled, but hearing what the Immortal Master said next, he felt a bit more at ease.

"Rest assured, I have already helped you expel it from your body."

"Thank you, Immortal Master," Ye Feipeng said gratefully.

The Immortal Master waved his hand: "Although you were a bit reckless, you have turned a misfortune into a blessing and have Awakened that trace of thin ancestral Bloodline within your body."

"Ancestral Bloodline?" Ye Feipeng was both surprised and happy.

"Correct. Have you ever heard of the ancient exotic beast, the Kunpeng?" As he spoke, the Immortal Master pointed forward.

The image of a huge Yao Beast that was sometimes a bird and sometimes a fish appeared in the air.

After the Immortal Master told Ye Feipeng about the power of this Kunpeng exotic beast, he said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that there would actually be the power of such an ancient Vicious Beast within your body."

"If you can borrow this power, your Cultivation speed will likely be several times faster than those so-called Prodigies."

Seeing the expression on Ye Feipeng's face, the Immortal Master added: "However, everything has its pros and cons. If your strength improves too quickly, it will also have a significant impact on your Heart-Nature. If you cannot control it, I fear it will be a disaster rather than a blessing."

Ye Feipeng hurriedly promised: "Immortal Master, please rest assured. I will definitely keep your teachings in mind, remain humble and patient, follow the steps, and work hard to Cultivate."

The Immortal Master nodded slowly, seemingly very satisfied with his answer.

After receiving a Storage Ring containing Spirit Stones and Magical Artifacts as a reward, Ye Feipeng left in high spirits.

Watching Ye Feipeng's skipping figure, Li Fan revealed a look that was half-smile, half-not.

"I didn't expect that the Awakening speed of this kid's Kunpeng Bloodline in this life would be faster than I anticipated."

"The Nine-Headed Divine Bird, huh…"

Li Fan extended his right hand.

A wisp of blood-red Evil Qi coiled around his fingertips, lingering for a long time.

Listening carefully, it seemed as if the sounds of crying and wailing were faintly coming from within it.

Li Fan absorbed this red Evil Qi and closed his eyes to carefully contemplate it.

After a while, he opened his eyes abruptly.

In that instant, a wisp of eerie red appeared in his pupils.

Li Fan looked at the stone stool in the secret chamber.

But in an instant, the surface of the originally hard stone became charred black under Li Fan's gaze.

"It seems that, triggered by the aura of the Kunpeng Bloodline, the nine-headed bird's Beast Soul Orb separated this wisp of unique Evil Qi."

"It seems to originate from the Origin Divine Ability of this nine-headed bird. It's a pity the Evil Qi is too weak; I can only comprehend this much."

The eerie red light in his eyes disappeared, and Li Fan felt slightly regretful.

"Although Senior Brother Zhang's Grand Vow Dharma Body is present, the power of Yao Beasts cannot be used."

"But it also has its merits. The Divine Ability of Yao Beasts may not necessarily be unusable by Cultivators."

"The great Dao shares the same Origin, and different paths lead to the same destination."

"Just like Han Yi's Cultivation Technique that controls Luck; it seems to come from the Heavenly Fate Blackbird."

Li Fan thought to himself.

Some readers are applying for operations officers. After thinking about it, I still won't do these for now. I will focus on writing and stable updates. This includes fan groups; I won't be doing those for now either. Sorry about that. After all, I have seen quite a few precedents of conflicts between operations staff and readers, and conflicts in groups.
