Chapter 545 - 444: Black Water Profound Serpent Transformation

Chapter 545: Chapter 444: Black Water Profound Serpent Transformation

"The Black Water Division has already fallen into decline, so there shouldn’t be any hidden dangers. Still, we need to get to the bottom of it to avoid any unnecessary trouble!"

One of the mysterious figures hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Let the Ninth Princess go!"

"The Ninth Princess?"

The expressions of the other figures changed slightly.

Their expressions wavered. After a moment, they exchanged glances and let out a faint sigh.

...

Although he had the strength to continue after making fifty-five lotus petals bloom, Qin Feng cautiously chose to hold back.

His gaze swept over the Stone Lotus. If he wanted to, Qin Feng could undo its seal at any moment and claim the treasure for himself.

But to avoid arousing suspicion, Qin Feng resisted the urge.

Nearby, Wu Shentong’s eyes flashed as he watched. He had a gut feeling that Qin Feng was still holding back.

Seeing Qin Feng withdraw, he stepped forward and said with a laugh, "Brother Yu, you’re full of surprises! One moment you’re silent, the next you’re stunning everyone."

"You flatter me," Qin Feng said, looking up.

Qin Feng returned to his seat.

His gaze swept across the hall. The surrounding members of the Sea Race now looked at him differently; most of them nodded in approval.

A few moments later, all the guests had arrived.

To his surprise, Qin Feng spotted two familiar faces.

She was dressed in white, her expression as cold as frost. The sight of her almost made Qin Feng spit out his drink.

Bai Yan’Er!

The woman was none other than the white-robed lady with whom Qin Feng had shared a fateful night.

After their last meeting at All Stars Academy, Bai Yan’Er had left the City of Many Stars. He never expected to see her again, half a year later, at the Cloud Lake Fuhai Palace.

Beside Bai Yan’Er was another familiar figure.

From the Qiankun Sect, Xuan Wuji!

Seeing the two of them, Ye Ding proactively went up to greet them; he and Xuan Wuji seemed to be well acquainted.

Bai Yan’Er remained aloof. Her beautiful eyes swept over the young men in attendance before she quietly took a seat to the side.

Qin Feng was discreetly studying Bai Yan’Er when she seemed to sense his gaze. Her eyes, sharp as ice daggers, shot in his direction. Seeing only an unfamiliar young man, she immediately looked away.

Fearing she might recognize him, Qin Feng quickly lowered his head.

’She’s still as cold as ever. But what’s she doing with Xuan Wuji? Don’t tell me there’s something between them.’

The thought left a sour taste in Qin Feng’s mouth, and his gaze held a flicker of irritation as it swept past Xuan Wuji.

Wu Shentong suddenly spoke up. "What, has Brother Yu taken a liking to Madam Bai?"

Qin Feng turned his head. "Madam Bai?"

Wu Shentong said, "Surely you recognize Bai Yan’Er, Brother Yu? She’s the foremost beauty in the entire Northern Spirit Realm. A pity she’s a rose with thorns!"

Seeing Qin Feng’s frown, Wu Shentong’s mind raced. He instantly guessed what Qin Feng was thinking and chuckled.

"Brother Yu, if you’re thinking she’s married, you’d be wrong. It’s complicated. But I can tell you this—this Miss Bai does not come from a simple background. Getting on her bad side would be a huge mistake!"

"A huge mistake?" Qin Feng’s interest was piqued.

Wu Shentong gestured with his chin. "See that young man next to her? That’s Xuan Wuji of the Qiankun Sect. Even notorious playboys like him and Ye Ding have to be careful around her. If she were any ordinary disciple, a man like Xuan Wuji would have had her in his pocket by now!"

"Is that so?" Qin Feng murmured, his curiosity piqued.

A flicker of curiosity arose in his heart, and Qin Feng was just about to ask for more details.

Just at this moment, the sound of bells and drums rang out in unison.

From behind a shimmering, curtain-like screen, a figure emerged, radiating a soft glow like the full moon.

Seeing this radiance, everyone in the great hall stood up.

The moon-like figure ascended to the throne, as radiant as the moon at its zenith. Her gaze swept over the crowd below as she gave a slight nod.

"All of you are rare talents in the world, rising stars of the Martial Dao. Your presence today brings great honor to Fuhai Palace!"

Her voice was as melodious as a tinkling spring, like music from the heavens.

Her very words seemed to carry a natural power. Everyone could faintly hear the sound of the tide in them, a rhythm of the Water Element as vast as a rainbow.

The hall fell silent. A moment later, everyone spoke in unison.

"We are unworthy of such praise! We pay our respects to Her Majesty the Queen!"

Qin Feng followed the crowd’s example, offering a salute before taking his seat. Immediately, Sea Demon Maidens came forward, serving Spirit Fruits and Jadescent Nectar.

At the same time, four more columns of lovely Sea Demon Maidens glided forward.

Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the Jade Discs they carried. Atop each disc sat a single Spirit Fruit shaped like a water droplet, emitting an alluring, subtle fragrance.

There was one on each Jade Disc, small and exquisite, about the size of a baby’s fist.

A powerful surge of Water Spiritual Qi emanated from the Spirit Fruit! The dense energy formed a tangible, pale blue radiance.

As he inhaled, Qin Feng’s eyes gleamed. ’A Spirit Fruit grown on a Celestial Tier Spiritual Root!’

The Maidens moved from table to table, placing a single fruit before each guest.

Then, the voice of the Sea Demon Queen rang out from the throne.

"Esteemed guests, we live deep beneath the waves, so Fuhai Palace has few delicacies to offer. This is a local specialty, the Blue Demon Fruit. Please, try one and enjoy!"

With that, she clapped her hands.

Instantly, music from chimes and bells filled the air. Troupes of graceful and willowy Sea Demon girls emerged from all corners of the hall and began to dance.

The Sea Demons were already stunningly beautiful, but as they danced to the music, their every move was filled with an enchanting and incomparable allure.

Qin Feng watched with narrowed eyes, but his attention was fixed on Bai Yan’Er from the corner of his eye.

Bai Yan’Er sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. At her side, Xuan Wuji would occasionally lean over to whisper something in her ear, and the two appeared quite intimate.

A sour feeling grew in Qin Feng’s chest. The more he watched, the more irritated he became.

Just then, Wu Shentong, who was seated beside him, said with a smile, "Brother Yu, you should try the fruit. This Blue Demon Fruit is a rare treasure, quite beneficial for our Cultivation!"

With a grim expression, Qin Feng casually picked up the Blue Demon Fruit from his table and swallowed it whole. Perhaps because of the foul mood he was in, it tasted as bland as wax.

The next moment, however, a surge of rich Spiritual Qi erupted in his abdomen and spread throughout his entire body. Qin Feng’s expression changed, and he immediately began circulating the Black Water Righteous Method to refine it.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and faint blue light flickered within their depths.

Qin Feng inspected his body internally and was astonished to find that the single fruit had provided a boost equivalent to at least three months of his normal Cultivation.

Dozens of his Profound Water True Acupoints had been opened in one fell swoop.

Combined with the acupoints he had reopened sporadically before, a total of over three hundred and sixty Profound Water True Acupoints were now open again.

With these True Acupoints reopened, Qin Feng’s Black Water Righteous Method showed signs of advancing toward the Twenty-eighth Layer.

The Twenty-eighth Layer involved condensing the Black Water Origin. A breakthrough would mean advancing directly into the Martial Arts Giant Realm.

However, as this change occurred, a strange expression appeared on Qin Feng’s face.

Qin Feng discovered that as his Black Water Righteous Method progressed, other changes were occurring within his body. His meridians, muscles, and bones were growing more refined and compact.

Black scales had even begun to grow on his skin, and he felt as if he were faintly transforming into a black snake.

A strange Divine Ability also surfaced in Qin Feng’s mind.

This Divine Ability was called Profound Snake Transformation.

It seemed that if he could break through to the Twenty-eighth Layer of the Black Water Righteous Method, he would be able to transform into a Black Water Profound Serpent!
