Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius

Chapter 34 – Seven-colored elixir

Daoist Kui's eyes were filled with greed as he transformed into a gust of sinister wind, rushing towards Gu Feng's figure.

At this moment, Gu Feng was at the critical juncture of forming the elixir, his mind completely immersed in his spiritual sea, oblivious to the outside world, like a rabbit focused on foraging, unaware of the eagle eyeing it.

Just as the howling sinister wind approached within ten meters of Gu Feng, a black mist surged up, and Jiu Long punched towards the wind. Daoist Kui was obstructed, his figure faltering and retreating repeatedly.

"What powerful demon energy! Unfortunately, you've met me!"

Daoist Kui shrieked, suddenly summoning a bizarre giant sail, his hands rapidly forming seals. Instantly, the sky changed color, and powerful winds roared.

"Vile creature! Face my Demon-Suppressing Pure Yang Sword Formation!"

The giant sail spun rapidly, releasing countless golden sword energies. These sword energies were not ordinary; they contained refined pure yang energy, deadly to ordinary demon cultivators and ghost cultivators!

With a flick of Daoist Kui's finger, the sword energies crisscrossed, stabbing towards Jiu Long.

Jiu Long squinted his eyes, with Gu Feng right behind him, leaving no room for retreat. He immediately made up his mind, unleashing his full cultivation power. Dense black smoke instantly enveloped the area around him.

The violent sword energies, mixed with the demon-suppressing pure yang energy, pierced into the area covered by the black smoke, exploding everywhere, golden flames burning continuously.

A smile appeared at the corner of Daoist Kui's mouth. He was confident that no ordinary cultivator could withstand such a thunderous strike without dodging, let alone...

"Roar!"

A deep beast roar emanated from the black smoke!

The next moment, a jet of black flame shot out from the smoke, directly towards Daoist Kui's face!

The black flame was extremely hot, catching Daoist Kui off guard, scorching his face red, smoke billowing from his seven orifices, almost shaking his Elemental Infant within!

"Ice Flame Nether Fire! How is this possible?!"

Before Daoist Kui could calm down, a massive black head suddenly emerged from the smoke.

It was a black dragon's head, covered in black scales, with large dragon horns burning with black flames.

The dragon head squinted its eyes, opening its mouth full of fangs, swiftly biting towards Daoist Kui!

"How can it be the Nether Black Dragon!? You... you're actually a royal demon cultivator!?"

Daoist Kui shrieked, riding his escape light, dodging to avoid the giant dragon's mouth.

Suddenly, darkness loomed overhead, and a massive black claw descended from the sky. He couldn't dodge in time, hurriedly raising his protective artifact!

"Boom!"

The enormous dragon claw smashed Daoist Kui's protective artifact, along with his body, into a mist of blood!

A cultivator's body is only slightly stronger than a mortal's. Without the protection of an artifact, how could it withstand such a heavy blow?

A golden Elemental Infant escaped from the dragon claw, flying up rapidly, its face full of terror.

The black dragon fully revealed its form, stretching a hundred meters long. It swung its massive tail, its dragon eyes narrowing, and a guttural sound emanated from its throat as it opened its mouth, spewing a jet of black flame towards the fleeing Elemental Infant!

"Ahhh!"

The violent black flame instantly cut off the Elemental Infant's escape route, enveloping it in a bone-chilling heat wave. Daoist Kui let out a miserable scream, and in just a moment, his spiritual soul was annihilated!

Ancestor Wan Ku was entangled in a battle in the sky with Gu Liantian, both at the peak of the Spirit Dividing realm, evenly matched. Hearing Daoist Kui's scream and seeing the black dragon appear, he immediately realized the situation was dire!

Gu Liantian seized the opportunity, focusing his mind, and delivered a fierce punch.

With this punch, the sky changed color, and the surrounding spiritual energy converged upon it!

"Seven-Colored Pill!?"

Gu Liantian noticed the change in Gu Feng's body, realizing he had completed forming the elixir, filled with both joy and astonishment.

Typically, a cultivator's Golden Elixir is golden, a condensation of all their cultivation power and True Core.

Of course, there are ghost or demonic cultivators whose inner elixirs, due to their cultivation methods, appear black or green, known as ghost elixirs and demon elixirs.

However, a seven-colored Golden Elixir is extremely rare. Cultivators with such an elixir may not have a significant advantage in cultivation power, but their understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is usually much deeper than those of the same realm.

Every time they cast a spell, it unconsciously carries the power of heaven and earth, which ordinary cultivators cannot withstand.

Gu Feng slowly withdrew his power, opening his eyes to see Gu Liantian waiting in front of him. He quickly smiled, "Father, I've withstood the tribulation!"

Gu Liantian nodded, having many questions for Gu Feng, but not in a hurry to ask them.

"Roar..."

A low growl immediately caught Gu Feng's attention. Following the sound, he saw a massive black dragon lying beside him, its huge head resting on his thigh, baring its teeth at him.

"Damn!"

Startled, Gu Feng leaped several meters away, quickly distancing himself from the black dragon.

"What kind of demon is this?! How dare it cause trouble here! Was it drawn by the commotion of my tribulation?!"

With a wry smile, Gu Liantian said helplessly, "This is Jiu Long."

"Jiu Long!?" Gu Feng was taken aback, comparing the giant dragon before him with the cold-faced man in black from his memory, and asked, "How did he turn into a big mud eel?!"

"It was to protect you."

Gu Liantian slowly recounted the events to Gu Feng.

From Gu Liantian, Gu Feng learned a huge secret: Jiu Long was actually a demon cultivator!

Moreover, his status was extremely noble, belonging to the royal family of the demon race!

As for why he took human form and stayed by Gu Liantian's side, Gu Liantian refused to elaborate.

Gu Liantian only warned Gu Feng that this secret must not be revealed to anyone, or it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Even without Gu Liantian's warning, Gu Feng understood. The Eastern Region was the stronghold of human cultivators, traditionally at odds with the Southern Barbarian demon cultivators, with deep-seated animosity between the two races.

If it were known that the City Lord of Heroic Spirit City harbored a great demon, and that this demon was of the Southern Barbarian royal lineage, it would implicate the entire Gu Family.

What moved Gu Feng was that to protect him, Jiu Long did not hesitate to reveal his true form, temporarily boosting his combat power to defeat Daoist Kui. The cost, however, was being unable to revert to human form for three hours.

In fact, with Jiu Long's fourth-tier Spirit Dividing realm cultivation, defeating the peak Elemental Infant Daoist Kui would have been a matter of time, even without revealing his true form.

However, circumstances did not allow for that. With Gu Feng as a burden, he had to choose a swift victory!

The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it became for Gu Feng!

"Jiu Long, rest assured, when I return to Heroic Spirit City, I'll give you a raise, uh... and get you a bone to gnaw on!"

Gu Feng was moved, but his words were teasing, reaching out to touch Jiu Long's dragon horn.

"Roar! Roar!"

Jiu Long bared his teeth, black ghostly fire crackling from his nostrils, scaring Gu Feng into quickly withdrawing his hand.

Thinking that he was now a Golden Elixir Realm cultivator, yet this bastard still acted so domineeringly towards him, Gu Feng smiled wryly, realizing that unless he surpassed Jiu Long in cultivation, earning his respect would be difficult.
