King of Gods

Chapter 1317 – The Ancient God Seal’s Transformation

After confirming that the bronze coin could sense the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng began to carefully examine it.

Liu Qinxin had gifted him this particular ancient bronze coin when he was exploring the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. For this reason, even after all of the energy had been consumed, Zhao Feng didn’t throw it away, nor did he let the little thieving cat take it.

Zhao Feng had confirmed several times that the energy in this bronze coin had completely dissipated, so why, after several decades, did the bronze coin have power once more? This was simply too strange.

And this energy seemed different from the energy the bronze coin used to contain. This energy was the even-more-profound energy of the Destiny Dao.

Zhao Feng had no talent in the Dao of Destiny, and since he couldn’t understand it, he didn’t think too much about it. But this bronze coin was once more of enormous assistance to Zhao Feng. In his heart, he thanked Liu Qinxin, or rather, the reincarnated Liu Qinyin.

“Once I’m finished with all this, I’ll take a trip back to the Continent Zone!” Zhao Feng had a determined expression.

The Spiritual Race had the resources to open a path to the Continent Zone, it was just that normal people didn’t have the right to use it. However, Zhao Feng was an Ancient God as well as the most brilliant genius of the Spiritual Race, so he would encounter no difficulty if he asked the Spiritual Race to send him back to the Continent Zone.

At this point, Zhao Feng had spent more time in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods than in the Continent Zone, but he felt a special connection to the Continent Zone and the Azure Flower Continent. He wanted to go back and spend time with his parents, see how his friends and teachers were doing, check if the Azure Flower Continent was safe, see what the situation of the Great Gan Dynasty and Dark Moon Dynasty was, and also see how Liu Qinyin was doing.

If he was going to go back to the Continent Zone, Zhao Feng planned to stay for a while. Thus, he had to take care of the matter of the little thieving cat first.

But saving the little thieving cat would require facing abnormal danger. The other side viewed the Heaven’s Legacy Cat with such importance that it would definitely put the little thieving cat somewhere extremely well-hidden and heavily guarded.

“It’s far too dangerous at my current level of strength.” Zhao Feng shook his head.

Firstly, the members of this faction could use the God Eye Fusion Art, which already presented a massive obstacle. If Zhao Feng didn’t have the God’s Spiritual Eye, which could deal with this power, he wouldn’t have even dared to consider the idea at all.

Secondly, he could see from Ancient God Profound Devil’s group of six that the faction they belonged to was extremely unusual and almost certainly had many experts. Even though Zhao Feng had the assistance of the Blood Flame Qilin Race, he was still no match for this faction. Moreover, Zhao Feng didn’t want to borrow the power of the Blood Flame Qilin Race unless it was absolutely necessary.

In short, this task was fraught with danger.

“If I’m strong enough, then nothing is a problem.”

 Swish! Swish!

Several kinds of Intent Crystals and cultivation treasures for various Intents immediately appeared in front of Zhao Feng.

He now wielded Five Elements, Wind Lightning, and Spacetime Intent. The resources he required for all these Intents were truly astonishing. What was in front of Zhao Feng at this moment would be the equivalent of all an ordinary Rank Seven Ancient God owned.

The price was great, but the results were also astonishing. After around two months, Zhao Feng had raised his Five Elements, Wind Lightning, and Space Intents to Level Six. In reaction, his Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique had risen to the second level, and his Chaos Origin Divine Power was now so powerful that it was equal to the Divine Power of a Rank Eight Ancient God.

Only now did Zhao Feng stop cultivating his Intents.

 Swish!

With a flip of his palm, a black metal triangle appeared in his hand.

“Let’s see what sort of secrets you hold!” Zhao Feng’s left eye began to turn.

The Ancient God Seal could be considered one of the best low-quality divine artifacts. When Zhao Feng had just arrived at the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the Ancient God Seal was extremely useful, allowing him to crush many ordinary low-quality divine artifacts.

Now that Zhao Feng was an Ancient God, this divine artifact was useless. But for some reason, Ancient God Black Heaven had pursued Zhao Feng over vast distances to get the Ancient God Seal. This meant that this divine artifact was not as simple as it seemed.

“In terms of toughness, the Ancient God Seal is comparable to a high-quality divine artifact!” Zhao Feng murmured in surprise.

A low-quality divine artifact had the toughness of a high-quality one. It was no wonder the Ancient God Seal reigned supreme among the low-quality divine artifacts. However, the division between divine artifacts was not decided solely on toughness.

“I recall that there was a seal on the Ancient God Seal.”

Sending his mind into the Ancient God Seal, he once more sensed the seal within it. To his surprise, this seal was related to the Heaven’s Legacy Race and was extraordinarily complex, even having a spiritual aspect.

As long as one had a special method, one could easily undo the seal. However, Zhao Feng didn’t continue to research it, nor could he casually expose the secret of the Ancient God Seal. He simply relied on raw strength, so it took some time to undo the seal.

 Boom!

Zhao Feng poured Chaos Origin Divine Power and Soul Power into the Ancient God Seal to batter away at the seal.

While working on the seal, Zhao Feng continued to duplicate cultivation resources in his God Eye Dimension.

Ten days later:

“The seal is broken!”

The Ancient God Seal in Zhao Feng’s hand suddenly began to thrum with enormous ripples of energy.

On the other side, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was alarmed, because this energy was clearly on the Ancient God level.

 Buzz! Bzzz!

Azure characters began to flow out of the Ancient God Seal and revolve around it.

“How odd! It seems like they’re modifying the Ancient God Seal.” Zhao Feng carefully examined the Ancient God Seal with his God’s Spiritual Eye.

The toughness of the Ancient God Seal was on the level of a high-quality divine artifact, but its other properties were on the low end. But at this time, the energy seemed to be modifying the properties of the Ancient God Seal.

After a long while, the ripples of energy began to slowly fade. Zhao Feng immediately sent his mind into the Ancient God Seal to see what had happened.

The area where the seal had once resided was now an independent dimension. Inside this dimension was an enormous energy source that was linked to the entire Ancient God Seal.

“Eh? This is…?” Zhao Feng’s eyes focused on one of the walls of this small dimension.

A simple map had been carved into the wall, and an explanation written in the language of the Heaven’s Legacy Race had been written next to it.

“Was the Ancient Soul Hall looking for this map?” Zhao Feng was rather confused.

This map wasn’t very large, and it wasn’t very complicated either. Places that required maps were usually large zones or areas with complex terrain. Such a simple map should be of no great importance.

There were some words of the Heaven’s Legacy Race next to the map. Zhao Feng couldn’t understand them, so he had no idea what other purposes this map had.

The secret of the Ancient God Seal had been revealed, but it was of little use to Zhao Feng. The only benefit was that, with the seal undone, the Ancient God Seal had been modified and was now a high-quality divine artifact. Zhao Feng now had a usable divine artifact, increasing his power.

 High-quality divine artifact!?  The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was dazed.

It had some understanding of this divine artifact. What used to be a low-quality divine artifact just moments ago had suddenly transformed into a high-quality one.

“It’s time to move out!” Zhao Feng rose and ended his seclusion.

It had been more than three months since the little thieving cat was captured. Ancient God Profound Devil’s group of six were probably about to return to their base.

Zhao Feng had a rough estimate of the little thieving cat’s direction through the reaction of the bronze coin. It was in the same direction as the ruins of the Heaven’s Legacy Race that he had explored. The area was extremely close to the border of the Ziling Zone.

Conjecturing further, Zhao Feng felt like they had probably already left the Ziling Zone. And in that direction was the Ziling Zone’s neighbor, the Antian Zone.

Now that he was about to leave, Zhao Feng decided to pay a visit to Zhao Yufei.

The Spiritual Race’s Third Elder resided in a forbidden zone of the Spiritual Race. Even Zhao Feng would first have to send a message before entering.

“Brother Feng, you’re leaving again?” Zhao Yufei was somewhat unwilling to hear this.

Zhao Feng had just returned to the Spiritual Race, but after so little time, with the two of them only meeting for the first time since his return, he was going to leave again.

Zhao Feng could only say that he had lost the little thieving cat during the God Eye Assembly, and he could sense that the little thieving cat was probably in the Antian Zone.

“That damn thieving cat… I’ll go with you!” Zhao Yufei had a deep impression of the little thieving cat. Seeing that Zhao Feng was going to the far-off Antian Zone, she became extremely reluctant.

“Yufei, remember what you promised your master!” At this moment, a timeworn and ethereal voice came from the depths of the forbidden zone.

Zhao Yufei immediately put on a helpless expression.

Zhao Feng’s expression turned strange, but after inquiring, he learned that Zhao Yufei had promised her master that she would only step out of the Spiritual Race once she cultivated to the Ancient God level.

As for the reason, it was actually because Zhao Feng had refused to become the Third Elder’s disciple and was now an Ancient God. Thus, the Third Elder wanted his own disciple to catch up to Zhao Feng as soon as possible and even surpass him.

Zhao Feng didn’t even need to examine Zhao Yufei to know that, even though she had only broken into Rank Five recently, she was already at the peak of Rank Five.

 The Spiritual Race bloodline truly deserves its reputation, and it seems like the Third Elder has placed great hopes on Zhao Yufei, putting almost all his strength into training her.  Zhao Feng mentally gave a soft sigh.

He was confident that, even if he had taken the Third Elder as his master, he would not receive the same treatment as Zhao Yufei. After all, Zhao Yufei’s Spiritual Race bloodline was what the Spiritual Race cared about the most.

“I can’t go. Brother Feng, you have to take of yourself….” Zhao Yufei immediately withdrew her words.

“Brother Feng, the Spiritual Race should be sending a group to the Antian Zone soon. Go with them. It will be safer!” Zhao Yufei remembered something and proposed.

“Okay.” Zhao Feng nodded, and then he left the forbidden zone.

He hadn’t yet decided when he was going to leave the Spiritual Race, so Zhao Feng decided to pay a visit to the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race. While there, he decided to ask about the matter Zhao Yufei had mentioned.

“Correct, there truly is such a group. The Spiritual Race has always had commercial dealings with the five-star Black Devil Peak of the Antian Zone. In one month, the Spiritual Race will be sending a batch of products to Black Devil Peak,” Ancient God Floating Spirit explained.

In the end, Zhao Feng decided to join this group.

The vast distance meant that the trading mission would be traveling on a large warship. Zhao Feng was in no particular rush, so by traveling via warship, he could get to his destination quickly and even use the time to cultivate and raise his strength. Thus, Zhao Feng proposed to join this group.

Before leaving, Zhao Feng took a stroll around the Spiritual Race and paid a visit to Pan Hao.

He also decided to bring Zhao Hui with him. Upon bringing Zhao Hui back to the Spiritual Race, he arranged for Zhao Hui to become an inner disciple. During his stay in the other faction, Zhao Hui had made significant advancements in his cultivation and had already gained a rudimentary grasp of the Medicine Dao.

Zhao Feng hadn’t had much time to focus on Zhao Hui recently, so he planned to bring him along to rapidly strengthen Zhao Hui’s cultivation. Zhao Hui also had a chance of being useful in some other aspect.

A month later, Zhao Feng boarded the Spiritual Race’s warship of blue and white steel and set off for the Antian Zone.
