Qin Feng sneered. "How could a dignified Heavenly Demon be so naive?"

"You think you're worthy to make me your blood slave?"

The Heavenly Demon sneered. "Boy, what are you so arrogant about in your current state?"

Qin Feng smiled enigmatically. "Don't you know I have the right to be arrogant?"

"I can kill you even if you're only at the peak of the Ascension Realm, let alone someone like you who's only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm?"

"Killing you is as easy as slaughtering a dog!"

The Heavenly Demon frowned slightly, his gaze shifting to the Dragon Cloud Sword. At present, the only thing that could make him wary was this immortal artifact.

If he had known that Qin Feng possessed a celestial artifact, he wouldn't have been killed so easily.

"The spirit of a celestial artifact cannot unleash its full power!"

"At most, he can only exert 20 or 30% of his power, which is not enough to kill me."

Qin Feng chuckled. "Since that's the case, why are you wasting your breath? Why don't you hurry up and kill me?"

The Heavenly Demon's expression was uncertain; he hesitated.

Now is definitely the best time to kill Qin Feng, but it also carries great risks for him.

If the spirit of the weapon could unleash even 50% of the power of the Dragon Cloud Sword, he would surely die.

Even if it's not 50%, 20% or 30% could still pose a threat to him.

If he were seriously injured, it would be impossible to predict who would live and who would die between him and Qin Feng.

The Heavenly Demon hesitated for a moment, then coldly snorted, "I'll spare you this time, but you'll be dead the next time we meet!"

After saying that, the Heavenly Demon immediately vanished into the distance, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he wasn't very confident about the Dragon Cloud Sword; he had just been bluffing.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon was frightened!

Otherwise, the outcome is unpredictable!

...

Qin Feng's battle in the coastal suburbs spread throughout all the blessed lands, and almost everyone knew of his formidable achievements.

He single-handedly defeated three hundred men and wiped them all out.

In just a few days, all the cultivators who had been training in the mortal world left one after another and returned to their respective blessed lands.

Since there are no cultivation resources in the secular world, there is no need for them to risk staying. If they accidentally provoke Qin Feng, that would be terrible.

After Qin Feng recovered from his injuries, he remained in seclusion for several months.

Although he had already hit the barrier to breakthrough a few months ago, he still hadn't been able to break through after several months.

The Heavenly Demon could appear at any time. If he continues to cultivate in seclusion, he might still not be able to break through by the time the Heavenly Demon appears.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to travel to various blessed lands and grotto-heavens to seek opportunities and see if he could find materials to refine his natal magic weapon.

After making arrangements for Liu Ruyan and her son, he said goodbye to Mu Qingxue and headed to the Kunlun Forbidden Zone alone.

Although he had been to the Kunlun Forbidden Zone once, it was only to save his parents and he had no intention of finding materials for refining weapons.

After all, this is the territory of cultivators, so it's quite possible that he might actually be able to gather all the materials needed to refine his natal magic weapon.

There's even a chance they might find the elixir for making immortal pills.

With the elixir, he will surely be able to break through to the True Immortal Realm.

...

Kunlun Forbidden Zone.

Two long queues formed outside the east gate of Qingfeng City as people handed over spirit stones to enter the city.

Qingfeng City has a large spirit-gathering pearl, which is rich in pure spiritual energy.

Anyone wishing to enter the city must pay one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and there is a time limit of half a month.

Qin Feng was at the back of the left-hand line, chatting with a round-faced man standing in front of him.

The round-faced man looked to be about the same age as him, and his cultivation level was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Qin Feng met this person on his way to Qingfeng City.

Qin Feng was targeted by two peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who wanted to kill him and steal his treasure.

The round-faced man, seeing injustice, killed the two robbers.

Moreover, he obtained two storage rings from the robbers, and even gave one to Qin Feng, who couldn't refuse it.

Qin Feng found the round-faced man to be of good character, and having heard that Qingfeng City was going to hold a large-scale auction soon, he accompanied the man to Qingfeng City.

The round-faced man had a rather unusual name: Nameless!

This name was chosen by Wuming himself. He had no father or mother and had been begging for a living since he could remember.

Later, by chance, he found a cultivation technique and embarked on the path of cultivation.

A few minutes later, it was finally Qin Feng and his companion's turn.

Wuming handed over two hundred low-grade spirit stones. Just as the two were about to enter the city, they were stopped by a round-faced city guard.

"Halt! You cannot enter the city yet!"

Wuming paused, then asked suspiciously, "Why?"

The round-faced city guard said calmly, "One of you is at the Nascent Soul stage, and the other at the Divine Transformation stage. You need ten thousand low-grade spirit stones to enter the city!"

Wuming frowned slightly. "I was in Qingfeng City not long ago, and I don't recall hearing about this before?"

The round-faced city guard glanced at Wuming and sneered, "This rule was only set in the last two days!"

"Those in the Nascent Soul stage need to pay four thousand low-grade spirit stones to enter the city, while those in the Deity Transformation stage need to pay six thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Wuming's face darkened. The people who had entered before them were all at the Nascent Soul stage, but they were only allowed to pass after paying a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

It was obvious that the round-faced city guard was deliberately extorting them.

He pointed at the few Nascent Soul cultivators and asked coldly, "Where are the others?"

"I just saw that they only paid one hundred low-grade spirit stones, why did you let them in?"

The round-faced man pouted. "That's because they went into town a few days ago, but had to leave for a day because of some urgent business."

"Since none of them stayed in the city for more than half a month, we only charge one hundred low-grade spirit stones."

Nameless didn't believe it and immediately started cursing, "You fucking kidding me!"

"Trying to blackmail me, huh?"

"Then I'm not going into the city. Give me back the spirit stones I just paid."

The round-faced city guard wore a half-smile. "What spirit stones?"

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

Nameless's face darkened as he glared at the round-faced city guard. "Are you fucking playing dumb with me? Do you think I wouldn't dare do anything to you?"

The round-faced city guard sneered. "Kid, I advise you to calm down!"

"Either hand over 10,000 low-grade spirit stones and enter the city, or get out of here!"

"You..." Wuming's face turned ashen, he was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

The city lord of Qingfeng City is a powerful cultivator at the Ascension Realm, and he has more than a dozen Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivators under his command, not to mention those at the Integration Realm and Concentration Realm.

How dare a mere rogue cultivator at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm cause trouble in Qingfeng City?

At this moment, Qin Feng patted Wuming on the shoulder and smiled. "Give it to him!"

"But..."

"No buts, just listen to me!" Qin Feng interrupted Wuming.

Wuming sighed helplessly. That was ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!

He was unwilling to accept that it was given away for nothing.

However, Qin Feng was determined to enter the city, so he had no choice but to give up and took out 10,000 low-grade spirit stones to give to the round-faced city guard.

"Can you get out of here now?"
