Chapter 7: A Good Meal Before Dying

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When he sensed that his essence soul incarnation had been torn apart by the young man again and was as “dead” as it could be, Patriarch Chenhai finally fell into a long silence while deep inside the suppression seal.

His face was contorted with the skin twitching and his hands were trembling.

“Bloody… bloody hell!”

A visible anger was brewing quickly inside Patriarch Chenhai. At the same moment, runes started shining brightly in the sea of clouds, causing Patriarch Chenhai’s body to stiffen. He obediently suppressed his anger.

After being suppressed here for 3,000 years, he was well aware about how the seal worked.

As long as he did not directly break the seal or use power beyond the Dao Platform Realm, he would not face the seal’s attack and suppression.

“Don’t move… don’t move. Yes, you don’t move either.”

Taking a deep breath, Patriarch Chenhai’s seemingly corporeal gaze looked past the sea of clouds again and landed on the young man.

For a moment, he looked more confused than ever.

“Kid… I think you must be sent by that bastard Wu Guan to mess with me!”

After a long time, Patriarch Chenhai gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.

Although his essence soul avatar was only at the eighth level Dao Platform Realm, it could easily be remade even if it was shattered by a stronger force. This was because of the avatar’s extremely high essence level, as well as his own consciousness

However, after being shattered by Feng Xia’s strange divine power, it felt like it had been cut into thousands of pieces. Even the consciousness inside was erased and it turned into extremely pure soul energy!

He could imagine with his dandruff that the kid would definitely treat this energy as a “gift” from Lu Chenhai. At this moment, the kid was probably happily absorbing it.

“Damn it! How dare you suck my energy when you have no cultivation! Aren’t you afraid it’ll kill you!”

After muttering maliciously, Patriarch Chenhai grabbed his own messy white hair. Suddenly, his eyes darted around and he began to feel suspicious for no reason.

“Something’s wrong! Something’s really wrong!”

“Did Wu Guan send this kid over to cheat me of my cultivation technique? That sounds like something that bastard would do!”

“However, that guy’s only shortcoming is his soul. It’s impossible for him to groom such a disciple. If that bastard has the ability to groom such a disciple, why would he still need the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”?”

As he spoke, the old man in the flowery robe seemed to calm down again.

His gaze was fixed on Feng Xia, and he still kept muttering to himself, “Speaking of which, when this kid unleashed his full strength just now, I didn’t see a single flaw…”

Patriarch Chenhai’s heart skipped a beat when he thought of this.

An incredible thought suddenly occurred to him.

“Could it be that this kid saw through the 12 flaws I left behind?”

“That’s impossible, isn’t it? I don’t think so. Even Wu Guan can’t do it. How can a mere young man be able to do it?”

“But this kid is really too weird! And that lotus divine power from before. This guy clearly hasn’t even opened his zifu, so how did he manage to use his soul divine power?”

Patriarch Chenhai thought very hard for a long time. He pulled off several strands of beard and a large bunch of hair, but he still could not figure out what happened.

The zifu between the eyebrows was also known as the Niwan Palace, the Square Spirit Platform, among other names.

Before one’s zifu was opened, one’s soul would not have been refined into essence soul yet, and one would not be able to use the soul divine power. Forcefully using it would only cause one’s soul to dissipate!

“But this kid… what the heck is going on?!”

Feng Xia had used his soul divine power twice in a row, but he was still alive and kicking. He did not show any signs of dying on the spot!

At that moment, the cross-legged Feng Xia suddenly opened his eyes.

Whoosh—

Two streaks of golden divine lights shot out from his eyes and flew more than a hundred feet in the air before gradually disappearing.

Patriarch Chenhai was stunned again. “Monkey God’s Fiery Eyes?!”

Feng Xia was even more shocked than the patriarch. “Where did the monkey come from?!”

Patriarch Chenhai: “?”

Feng Xia: “?”

“Senior, did I pass the test?”

After seriously thinking about it for a moment, Feng Xia decided not to dwell on this matter and instead asked about the test.

The stunned Patriarch Chenhai subconsciously started replying, “Of course not…”

Of course not!

The reason why I said I wanted to test you was to possess you, alright?

In the end, not only did he not succeed in the possession, but he also lost two essence soul incarnations. The power contained in them was what he had accumulated over decades!

However, just as he was about to continue speaking, Patriarch Chenhai changed his reply and said indifferently, “Your soul is quite talented, but you’re still slightly inferior to me back then. I’d say that you’ve passed this test, but remember not to be arrogant because of this…”

Feng Xia listened intently.

At the same time, he was carefully recalling all his previous experiences.

“So, after I transmigrated, I possessed a special ability. I can make various attribute light balls drop out. Certain balls can strengthen my aptitude, and certain balls can be used to comprehend various cultivation techniques like the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”…”

As a veteran gamer, Feng Xia quickly accepted this setting.

—It is not as if I can refuse to accept it!

He had transmigrated to this Ancient Forsaken Land where not only were there no villages or shops around, but there were also endless cliffs in all directions. If he could not find a way out, he would probably be trapped here for the rest of his life!

Think about it. A place without computers, Internet, cell phones, silly netizens, people or even ghosts…

Horrible. Horrible.

Avoid trouble. Avoid trouble.

“I wonder if other types of light balls will drop in the future? With this superpower, how far can I go?”

Feng Xia could not help but yearn for it.

Through the things Patriarch Chenhai said and the descriptions in the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”, he had already deeply understood one thing, that this was a world that was completely different from Earth!

There were all kinds of incredible divine powers here, as well as divine beings that could do amazing stuff.

Different worlds held different types of adventures.

Whether it was to be able to live better in this world, or to find the reason for his transmigration until he was able to find the way home, he must learn how to master the power of this world…

It was imperative!

“However, even if I’ve comprehended the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”, it doesn’t look like I can leave… I can’t fly out just by thinking about it…”

Thinking back to the vast abyss, Feng Xia looked unhappy again.

On the other side, Patriarch Chenhai narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyes darted around, clearly fighting an intense mental battle internally.

At some point, he took a deep breath.

“What’s your name, kid?”

“Senior, my surname is Feng and my first name is Xia.”

“You’re very good. Since you’ve already obtained my teachings, you must cultivate diligently in the future. When you step into the Dao Platform Realm, you can naturally cultivate your flying divine power. At that time, you can leave this Ancient Forsaken Land.”

“Senior, I still want to ask…”

“Go, get lost. I have other things to worry about. Don’t come again!”

Patriarch Chenhai waved his sleeve, and Feng Xia felt as if he was spinning. In the next moment, he suddenly sat up on the treetop and looked around blankly.

He did not get the chance to say the second half of his sentence.

“But I don’t even know the divine power of flying!”

So far, he had only cultivated the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique” for two days. As for the divine powers he had mastered, he only had three moves.

One Primeval Green Lotus.

Two Primeval Green Lotuses

Three Primordial Green Lotuses.

As for the flying divine power, it was not mentioned in the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”. Of course, he knew nothing about it.

“This senior is good at everything, but he’s a little too impatient. He always doesn’t give me a chance to finish my sentence.” Feng Xia shook his head helplessly. “Speaking of which, the names of these three divine powers seem a little crass…”

There was no record of these three divine powers in the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”.

These were divine powers that Feng Xia had instinctively created during the comprehension process. Even their names were randomly plucked from the air.

However, now that he had thought of this, he needed to change the names or he would have that same uncomfortable feeling as having a pile of new folders on the computer desktop…

Not changing the names would give him a headache, but thinking of new names would also give him a headache.

He was very certain he had a phobia of naming things.

“Well, since it’s based on the quantity… then the first divine power will be called the Primeval Green Lotus and the second one will be called the Twin Lotuses…”

As Feng Xia pondered over the names, he got into a cycle of eating, sleeping, and thinking of names. He would kill spiders when he had nothing to do, then eat, sleep, and think of names. Then when he had nothing to do, he would kill spiders again.

He had no choice. He had only discovered a sad truth much later.

There were very few creatures in the Ancient Forsaken Land. Apart from the cluster of black jade spiders, there were almost no other living creatures.

Sometimes, Feng Xia could not help but hesitate before making a move. He was still young, so should he restrain himself a little?

If he killed the black jade spiders too quickly and they could not reproduce fast enough, it would not be long before he had to roast the black jade spiders for his meals.

Patriarch Chenhai was right about something—

The roasted black jade spider did taste quite delicious.

“Have you finished eating?”

On this particular day.

Feng Xia was peeling a black jade spider when an angry voice sounded from behind him.

He answered subconsciously, “I’ve only just started. How can I be done yet… Damn, who are you?”

The next moment, a figure attacked like a streak of black lightning!

“If you’re done eating… then die!”

“???”

Feng Xia dodged to the side immediately. A petite young girl attacked from the sky. Her long black hair fluttered even though there was no wind. Her terrifying eyes that were fully white turned and locked onto Feng Xia without moving.

“The person who’s going to kill you.”

The young girl spat out the words coldly.
