Chapter 16- Rank seven connate level!

Chapter 16

Long feng felt countless powerful auras behind him. What really unnerved him though, was the leading aura. It was actually a rank 3 Yin level cultivator! With Long feng's current strength, he could escape from a rank 1 Yin level cultivator without getting killed, but a rank 2 Yin level cultivator could probably kill him. Now, a rank 3 Yin level cultivator was after him! If they were to catch up to him, then Long feng would be most probably killed! He absolutely could not let them catch him. But his speed was only comparable to the weakest rank 1 Yin level cultivators, so he couldn't hope to outrun them.

The rank 3 Yin level cultivator was catching up! Long feng began to panic. He was almost out of Star Mountain City.

"Great! One month after I began to cultivate, I'm facing a life and death situation!" Long feng muttered.

As long as he could leave the Star Mountain City, he may survive the storm. He used up every ounce of Martial power reserve he had in trying to run faster. Still, the man was catching up! Long feng was at a loss for what to do.

He was a few miles away from the exit of the city when the man caught up. He was a fairly old man, emanating the aura of a rank 3 Yin level cultivator. He was behind Long feng.

Long feng knew that running anymore would be foolish, so he stopped. The old man stopped in front of Long feng. Soon, the other rank 2 Yin cultivators arrived. The rest were still far behind.

"It looks like you've surrendered" the rank 3 Yin cultivator Said.

Long feng chuckled.

"Our clan Chiefs are willing to give you a chance. All the four clan Chiefs have made a decision, that if you agree to leave the long clan and join the Gong clan, we will spare you. Besides, the Gong clan has far more resources than the Long clan. We can raise You to be the next clan Chief of the Gong clan. The choice is yours" the man said.

Long feng's eyes widened in shock. So that was the plan! They were not really going to kill him. They just wanted him on their side. Then his lips curled up into a wicked grin. Since they wanted to play, he would play with them.

"Are you serious?" He asked in a meek voice.

The man's eyes brightened. He was obviously happy.

"Absolutely. You have my word. The four clans would use every possible effort to groom you. With your talent, you have a chance of reaching the Yang realm within ten years!" The man replied excitedly.

Long feng almost puked on hearing that. The Yang realm? His master was asking him to reach the Imperial realm within three years and this old bag of bones was telling him of the Yang realm, and within ten years at that! But he didn't show his emotions.

"If senior really means his words, then this junior is more than happy to join the Gong clan." He said with fake excitement.

The man nodded, pleased.

"Good. It seems that you know what is best for you" he said.

Long feng looked at him with pity in his eyes.

He quickly looked into the sack which the old Clan Chief had given him. Within it was a sword in a sheath. It emanated the aura of a Yin level armament. Long feng recognized the sword. It was the sovereign sword, one of the top three armaments of the long clan! They actually gave it to him! Furthermore, within the bag were three golden leaves and 10 pure white crystals. They released a very pure energy. The leaves were called Wintry Yin leaves. They contained a dense amount of Yin level natural energies! The Crystals were called connate beads. They also contained a dense amount of connate level energies. The leaves were used to Break into the Yin realm, while the Connate beads were used as currencies. Their energies could be absorbed and used to cultivate. After connate beads were Yin beads, Yang beads, spirit beads and even Imperial beads, although the long clan only had connate beads. The beads were very hard to mine, so long feng was quite surprised at the long clan's generosity. They actually gave him such treasures! If Long feng was to cultivate with the Wintry Yin leaves and the Connate beads, he might make two or three breakthroughs! He looked at the old man.

"Senior, this junior wishes to cultivate here for a while." He asked meekly.

"Hahaha! No problem. We will guard you here" the man replied.

Long feng nodded and sat down cross legged on the floor. He took out the three leaves and the ten crystals.

The man's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he saw these treasures. Not even he had so much!

"You want to cultivate with all these? The energy within them are rough. If you absorb more than two at a time, you may explode!" The man said.

"Senior, this junior knows what he is doing" Long feng replied.

Without wasting time, he threw all ten crystals into his mouth and guided them into his dantian.

"What! Are you mad!" The old man shouted in panic.

Normally, the energy within the crystals would be absorbed slowly, bit by bit into the body. He had never heard of someone who swallowed a whole connate crystal without exploding to pieces. That was because the energy within the crystals were tyrannic and very overbearing. If one was to swallow the crystal, the tyrannic energy would rip the person apart from within!

He waited for Long feng to explode, but nothing happened.

Long feng was oblivious to what just happened. He guided the crystals into his dantian. The crystals were instantly swallowed and cleanly absorbed by the three massive Dragons. Not an ounce of the energy flowed to fill his dantian, and his dantian had to be filled with energy before he could breakthrough!

Long feng felt like crying. He unhesitatingly took the three Wintry Yin leaves and swallowed them up. He guided them into his dantian. The Dragons also swallowed up the leaves, but this time, they didn't absorb the energy. The natural energies began to flow into his dantian until it was full to the brim! His aura rose.

Rank 6 connate realm....

Rank 7 connate realm....

Finally, his Dantian emptied out again. He sighed with relieve. The old man was still filled with worry. They couldn't feel Long feng's breakthroughs because his aura was compressed forcefully within his Dantian by the three Dragons.

Long feng's eyes flashed open. He slowly stood up.

"You are alright! You actually managed to Survive!" The old man said, shocked.

Long feng looked at him expressionlessly.

"I'll have to thank you for the help, but I have to go now. I am done playing with you" he said coldly.

Suddenly, he thrust his palm towards the old man. The strength of his palm was equal to the all out attack of a rank 2 Yin level cultivator!

The old man was unable to react on time. The palm landed on his chest.

BOOM!

The man was shot away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Long feng released his aura. Everyone was shocked. They thought he was a rank 5 connate cultivator? And his current aura was as strong as a rank 3 Yin level cultivator! How was this a human?

"You've all chased after me for so long, I'll have to repay you for your troubles" Long feng Said calmly. While he was cultivating, the rank 1 Yin level cultivators had also caught up. Now, they all wanted to spread out and run.

Long feng chuckled

"Since you came, please stay" he shouted.

The sovereign sword jumped into his hand as if it had a mind of its own. He suddenly slashed the sword at the cultivators running away. A pure white sword light appeared. Sound and light seemed to loose their glory! The sword light cut at the cultivators in the blink of an eye. Almost all the rank 1 Yin level cultivators were instantly pulverized to meat! Many rank 2 Yin level cultivators were injured. Some had managed to escape though. Long feng grimaced. He killed all the survivors, including the old rank 3 Yin level cultivator, before he set out of the city.....
