Chapter 487

Cultivating the "Sea Dragon Wandering Technique" proved to be much smoother for Ye Feipeng than practicing the "Sea-Stabilizing Divine Sword."

On the second day of switching cultivation techniques, he successfully broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Condensation.

Moreover, the elixir provided by the Immortal Master helped him unlock a sliver of hidden power within his body.

After strengthening his physical body, even Sun Erlang, who was at the late stage of Qi Condensation, was no match for Ye Feipeng in actual combat.

Having solidified his position as the "leader of the children" on the island, Ye Feipeng finally felt somewhat relieved.

At the same time, he understood a crucial lesson: to cultivate faster, aside from one's own talent and hard work, it was even more important to please the Immortal Master.

From the Immortal Master’s casual words, Ye Feipeng learned that the Immortal Master seemed to place great importance on the refining progress of the [Beast God Bead].

Thus, in addition to his cultivation, Ye Feipeng never forgot to keep the Beast God Bead with him at all times, carefully comprehending its mysteries.

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

In the dream, he saw a terrifying nine-headed bird suspended above the sky.

Its colossal body nearly filled the entire sky.

Each of its nine heads was devouring something.

With Ye Feipeng’s current knowledge, he recognized struggling and twisted dragon limbs, an entire intact mountain range, and branches of a giant, ash-gray tree...

All around, there were despairing and painful wails, and the world was bathed in blood.

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

He stood there dumbfounded, unable to move.

At that moment, one of the nine-headed bird's heads seemed to notice his presence.

Its eyes slightly moved, casting a gaze upon him as if looking at food.

Terrified by being stared at by this fierce beast, fear instantly overwhelmed Ye Feipeng’s mind.

Under the shadow of the nine-headed bird, it seemed that in the next moment, he would be swallowed whole.

Just then, a loud and distant cry echoed in his ears.

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

The cry was full of defiance and anger.

With his eyes turning blood-red, Ye Feipeng’s previously frozen body immediately returned to normal.

Attracted by this inexplicable cry, the nine heads in the sky simultaneously turned towards the source.

Ye Feipeng woke up from his nightmare.

Panting heavily, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and recalled the scenes he had seen in his dream.

“That nine-headed bird must be the mythical beast sealed within the Beast God Bead.”

“Indeed. Have you ever heard of the ancient mythical beast, Kunpeng?” As he spoke, the Immortal Master pointed forward.

A massive beast, sometimes appearing as a bird, other times as a fish, appeared in the air.

After explaining the power of this Kunpeng beast to Ye Feipeng, the Immortal Master sighed with emotion, “I didn’t expect you to have such a power of an ancient fierce beast in your bloodline.”

“If you can harness this power, your cultivation speed will surpass even those so-called prodigies.”

Seeing the look on Ye Feipeng’s face, the Immortal Master added, “However, everything has its pros and cons. Advancing too quickly could also impact your state of mind. If you can’t control it, it might bring you disaster instead of fortune.”

Ye Feipeng quickly promised, “Immortal Master, rest assured, I will certainly remember your teachings. I will not become arrogant or impatient, and I will cultivate diligently, step by step.”

The Immortal Master nodded slowly, seemingly satisfied with his response.

After receiving a storage ring filled with spirit stones and magical artifacts as a reward, Ye Feipeng left, overjoyed.

Watching Ye Feipeng’s jubilant figure as he left, Li Fan revealed a smile that was neither genuine nor fake.

“I didn’t expect this kid’s awakening of the Kunpeng bloodline in this lifetime to be even faster than I anticipated.”

“The Nine-Headed Divine Bird, huh...”

Li Fan stretched out his right hand.

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

If you listened carefully, faint cries and wails could be heard coming from it.

Li Fan absorbed the red aura and closed his eyes to carefully comprehend it.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes.

In that instant, a strange red light flashed in his pupils.

Li Fan looked at the stone stool in the chamber.

In just a moment, the originally hard stone surface turned pitch-black under Li Fan's gaze.

“It seems that the Nine-Headed Bird's beast soul bead released this unique murderous aura due to the influence of the Kunpeng bloodline.”

“It appears to be the power of the Nine-Headed Bird’s innate divine ability. Unfortunately, the murderous aura is too weak to grasp more than this.”

The strange red light in his eyes faded, and Li Fan felt a tinge of regret.

“Although the beast power cannot be used because of Senior Brother Zhang’s Grand Aspiration Dharma Body,”

“There are still things to learn from it. The divine abilities of mythical beasts may be harnessed by cultivators.”

“All paths originate from the same source, different routes lead to the same destination.”

“Like Han Yi’s technique of controlling fate, which seems to be derived from the Heavenly Fate Mystic Bird.”

Li Fan pondered silently.
