Chapter 49

First Stage of the Human Boundary!

An unexpected breakthrough, truly unexpected!

Qin Feng never thought that he would actually break through under such special circumstances!

Moreover, it was the most critical step for a cultivator, and it had been achieved so effortlessly? Even now, Qin Feng still found it hard to believe.

However, the overwhelming sense of power in his body was real. Additionally, his soul had transformed, allowing him to perform internal visualization.

With the divine consciousness, his "Taia Forging Soul" technique also advanced to the second level effortlessly!

Now, with a mere thought, Qin Feng could visualize the conditions inside his body, every bone, every muscle, meridians, and even the flow and transformation of mystic energy, all clearly visible.

More importantly, with the divine consciousness, the sea of qi had formed naturally. The divine consciousness and the sea of qi were the source of the soul, the place where divine consciousness was generated.

When the divine consciousness spread, the situation within a few miles in all directions was under his control, as if he were seeing it with his own eyes, vivid and real. When the divine consciousness retreated, it entered the sea of qi, and this vast sea of qi was where the soul resided.

Qin Feng was somewhat curious and, for the first time, controlled his divine consciousness to retreat into his sea of qi for internal visualization.

But this one look was no small matter; Qin Feng was truly startled!

Because, in his sea of qi, there was actually a small tree growing!

Yes, Qin Feng's eyes were not deceiving him!

It was a tree, and it was a purple-gray tree, growing within his soul.

This tree was mysterious and unfathomable, with a gray trunk shimmering with purple light, its roots buried in the cloud layer of his sea of consciousness, growing robustly.

Qin Feng carefully examined this mysterious tree, and suddenly—

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed again, his gaze falling on an object on one of the branches!

"That is... a snake?"

On the branch, there was actually a snake?!

The snake was black, with two heads, each head having spines, one with a purple-gray vertical line on its forehead, the other without. The snake's body was faint, like a projection rather than a solid entity.

"This...?"

For a long time, Qin Feng had been plagued by a strange illness, and he knew that there was a mysterious existence within his soul. But he never expected it to be a small tree, and it was still growing!

"Is the tree the source of my strange illness, and what about the small black snake?"

Thinking of a possibility, Qin Feng withdrew his divine consciousness from the sea of qi and released his bloodline soul.

This release startled Qin Feng greatly!

Because his small black snake was no longer small. Now, it was almost as thick as a barrel and about ten feet long. Its thick black scales emitted a faint cold light, and its massive body, when writhing, was fierce and powerful. It was no longer a small black snake but a large black python. The biggest change was that it had grown two heads, each with spines, one with a purple-gray vertical line on its forehead, the other without.

So that's how it is!

Seeing all this, even if Qin Feng were foolish, he would have understood something.

His bloodline soul was the snake perched on the branch of the mysterious purple tree in his sea of consciousness.

But why was it like this?

Recalling the situation when his divine soul awakened and the changes in its color later, Qin Feng's eyes suddenly brightened, and he blurted out four words—

"Assimilation and mutation!"

Clever, truly clever!

To avoid death, one must assimilate with the opponent's aura, making the mysterious existence within ignore one's presence. This was probably the method his divine soul came up with in a desperate situation to save himself.

This was a trade-off, exchanging great power for the potential to evolve.

Moreover, after the two fought, the one who ultimately benefited was himself! Because, in essence, the bloodline soul was his physical strength. After assimilation, the mysterious tree would mistake the small black snake for a part of its body, thus solving his cultivation problems.

The mysterious tree would not attack his bloodline strength, so the problem of blocked meridians would no longer occur.

The cultivation problem was fundamentally solved!

Relieved, Qin Feng couldn't help but want to shout out loud to express his joy.

However—

Staring at the large black python with two heads, Qin Feng was speechless. What would this evolution ultimately produce? A black dragon? Multiple heads? Qin Feng had no idea.

Just as Qin Feng was deep in thought.

Qin Feng's eyebrows suddenly twitched, and his gaze immediately turned to the distant east.

He threw out two balls of fire, burning the two dried corpses hanging from the tree into ashes. Then, with a thought, the large black python suddenly turned, and the head with the purple-gray vertical line opened its mouth, swallowing Qin Feng into its body. The python then twisted and shot onto a large tree. After a few twists and turns, it disappeared into the darkness.

Not long after Qin Feng left, two beams of white light sped to the spot, revealing two figures dressed in white.

One was a man and the other a woman. Both were powerful, their auras transcendent. Standing on flying swords, they looked down at the ground, their snow-white, transcendent clothing making them seem like celestial beings descended from heaven, captivating to behold.

Because it was too dark, and there was no moonlight in the forest, the two mysterious figures were quite cautious. They only used their divine consciousness to scan the area from their flying swords. The white-robed man then said, "There was a battle here just now. I sensed a strong demonic aura here. It seems that some followers of the demonic path have infiltrated this place. We need to be careful..."

"Um!" The woman beside him nodded, then after another inspection, finding nothing substantial, she showed a hint of anxiety and urged, "Senior Brother, if we delay any longer, we'll miss the agreed meeting time with everyone."

"Alright... let's go!"

The white-robed man, however, was staring at a certain spot in the darkness, deep in thought, his eyes filled with hesitation. But under his junior sister's urging, he slowly withdrew his gaze, and with a flash of light from his sword, the two sped off again.

This time, they headed southwest.

After the two left, Qin Feng emerged from the darkness. Staring in the direction they had gone, his gaze was deep.

That white-robed man was very powerful!

Qin Feng vaguely felt that the white-robed man had somehow sensed his presence, but he didn't understand why he didn't attack him.

"An agreed meeting time? What important matter could make them so urgent?"

"Is there a connection between the two people who died earlier and this matter?"

A series of questions surfaced in Qin Feng's mind, but he couldn't figure them out. Everyone has a curious heart, and Qin Feng was no exception, but he was also very rational and knew that curiosity could be fatal.

If he hadn't advanced today, Qin Feng would have chosen to continue hiding or turn back and leave.

But, precisely because he had broken through today!

The overwhelming power in his body gave Qin Feng great confidence. Moreover, from the attire and aura of the two people earlier, they seemed to be disciples of a prestigious sect.

"Seeking wealth and honor in danger, let's do it!"

After making up his mind, Qin Feng's figure immediately sped through the forest, chasing after the direction the two had disappeared.
