Bei Feng observed the tiny seed in his hand silently; of course, he wasn't looking at it with his eyes, but with his mental power .
In Bei Feng's perception, this seed no longer had any hint of evil energy on it . Instead, it was filled with light, like a blazing sun in the sky .
Although the illumination aura was very weak, it was like a ray of light shining out of a dark cloud .
Bei Feng carefully placed the little seed into a small box and turned his attention towards the stone statue .
The stone statue looked like it had gone through a great number of years, and had seen through the vicissitudes of life . It seemed to contain high vitality and Lingqi, but unlike spirit stones, the energy within could not be absorbed .
The stone statue was in the shape of a huge tortoise . It looked extremely lifelike, as if it was a living creature . The scars of the ages remained on its exterior, and it seemed to be deep in sleep .
"This tortoise can be used to refine martial arts? How?"
Bei Feng inspected the statue curiously .
After a while, his eyes lit up as a terrifying aura exploded from his body and surged towards the tortoise!
"Ka-cha!"
Bei Feng's eyes blurred and suddenly, the tortoise came to life . The stone and dust around it cracked and broke into pieces, revealing an inky black tortoise inside!
"Is this an illusion land?"
Bei Feng looked at his surroundings with shock . He was all of a sudden surrounded by tall mountains which stretched as far as the eye could see . A huge golden river raged below him, running far into the distance .
'I was still at Blue Spirit Mountain a moment ago, but the instant I released my aura, I was dragged into this illusion . '
Bei Feng remained where he was, remaining silent and taking an attitude of observation first .
Beside the river, a huge tortoise was howling to the sky and crawling along slowly; a powerful aura only slightly more powerful than Bei Feng's surged into the sky!
The two imposing auras clashed together, and even the air rippled from the collision .
Unexpectedly, Bei Feng's aura was unable to withstand a single blow . The instant it smashed into the tortoise's aura, it was unceremoniously smashed apart!
Bei Feng did not give up, and rushed forward for the kill . With a fierce howl, he swung a Giant Bear paw down at the tortoise .
The huge tortoise staggered from the blow, and was directly sent several meters back .
Inside the illusory space, a man and a beast clashed together repeatedly . Bei Feng was suppressed by the tortoise with every blow, and completely flattened over and over again .
Every time he died, Bei Feng would feel more and more constrained . That feeling of dying was really too unbearable .
Bei Feng did not know how much time had passed, but the will not to lose had grown stronger and stronger . He only had a single thought in his heart: to defeat this tortoise!
It could have been a few thousands, or a tens of thousands of times . . . Bei Feng had already lost track of how many times he'd been flattened by the tortoise .
The will in Bei Feng's heart had begun to waver . Was such a powerful tortoise really something that he could defeat? The latter did not seem to have a limit, and was forever slightly stronger than him . But in a battle, that bit of difference was enough to cause him to be unable to resist .
Bei Feng lay on the ground, exhausted . In front of him was the hundred zhang tall tortoise . Seeing the tortoise charging at him again, Bei Feng did not even have the strength to raise his hands .
Bei Feng lay motionlessly as the tortoise got closer and closer; he could only move his lips and mumble slowly, "Am I going to be killed again?"
"No! It's not over! I can still fight!" Bei Feng roared desperately . His will was originally on the verge of collapse . But in that moment, his will actually firmed up to the extreme and exploded!
A powerful aura surged out of Bei Feng's body, and his limp body began to be filled with strength again . He raised his hands slowly and tapped lightly against the tortoise's head which was right above him .
"Kacha!"
This tap that did not even have the force of a two or three year old infant actually created a powerful ripple on the tortoise's head . Following that, the huge tortoise actually shattered into pieces!
Bei Feng smiled with relief as the illusory space around him changed and disappeared .
"Hm?"
Bei Feng opened his eyes, and a confused look hung on his face . But in the blink of an eye, the confusion disappeared from his face .
"So this is the refinement of martial arts?"
Bei Feng's sleeves rustled noisily in the wind . It turned out that the refinement of martial arts was to not forget his original intent .
'My original intent is just to spend the rest of my life worry-free . But after the chance occurrence of obtaining the Myriad Heavens Fishing System, my fate had begun to change . Right not, I only want to be stronger and gain longevity!'
Bei Feng sighed . This wish was the reason he'd been able to endure for so long while being killed over and over again by the tortoise .
A gentle breeze swept over the yard, and the intricate giant tortoise statue suddenly collapsed and turned into dust .
Bei Feng scooped up the powder with both hands . The finely crushed rock was a shiny black; although it was originally a chunk of spirit rock, it looked just like a bunch of top grade soil right now, the kind that would ooze with moisture when squeezed!
When turned to powder, the hundred zhang tall statue directly buried a large patch of forest . Bei Feng took out all the spirit herbs seeds from his spatial ring and scattered them on top of it .
The Human-Faced Peach Tree was planted in the center, and taken great care of . This was a godly spirit herb!
'I wonder how long it'll take for it to absorb enough sunlight to produce a fruit . But this is good as well; ultimately, I feel more at ease . '
Bei Feng sighed . Originally, the Human-Faced Peach Tree needed to absorb humans as nutrients before it could produce fruits . But now that it'd mutated, it only needed to absorb sunlight .
This point made Bei Feng feel a lot better in his heart . If he asked himself honestly, if the requirement was still to sacrifice other humans as nutrients, Bei Feng was not sure if he would be able to resist the temptation of the Human-Faced Peach Tree in the end!
"Since you no longer use humans as nutrients, I'll call you the Illumination God Tree!"
Bei Feng thought for a while and gave a new name for the tree . After that, he continued to lay out several hundred middle grade spirit stones around the tree .
Only then did he finally leave . It wasn't clear how long this Illumination God Tree would take to blossom and bear fruits . But this would always remain as a thought in Bei Feng's heart .
Bei Feng walked into the villa, not minding what Mystic One and the Cerberus thought about the entire event . It was impossible for them to betray him .
'After Mystic One breaks through to the Controlled Dan stage in her cultivation, the Book of Spiritual Contract would no longer have any restraining effects on her,' Bei Feng thought silently .
The Book of Spiritual Contract was a very precious treasure . But, its grade was simply too low . It could at most remain useful against cultivators below the Controlled Dan stage .
Of the 12 original Mystics, only Mystic One was left remaining . The huge villa was much quieter now .
Bei Feng began to cook . A huge frog Demonic Beast appeared before him, and was quickly cleaned up .
At this moment, he had over a dozen Third Level Demonic Beasts in his spatial ring, which he could take out for a change in taste whenever he felt like it .
In the short term, he did not need to worry about his food supply running low . Large pieces of meat were sliced off and kept into the spatial ring, only leaving a piece of pinkish meat the size of a football .
"Ta, ta, ta!"
The chunk of meat was quickly chopped up into tiny pieces .
Following that, he began to clean the White River Rice . A generous portion of White River Rice was washed and set aside; large shiny water droplets hung on each grain of rice .
Bei Feng was going to use the frog meat to make porridge . When paired with some of his carefully marinated pickled vegetables, the dish was simply perfect!
