NOVEL WEB Chapter 765 Wood Power!
Qin Feng fell into deep thought upon hearing these words.
He had sensed a hint of war quite early on.
Not just the turmoil in Qinling, not merely the chaos among the Five Great Holy Lands striving for supremacy, nor the scramble for the Energy Baryte that could unlock the Kunlun Mist Cloud—it was an intuition that there was an even greater war brewing.
Yet, it was merely intuition.
Now.
Hearing Old Lady Liang speak this way seemed to confirm his suspicions.
Especially in places like Heavenly King Mountain, Dragon King Hall, Supreme Dragon Gate, and other super first-class forces: In such chaotic times, their unusual silence was telling, with no news heard from them.
Heavenly King Mountain even moved all mortal forces completely out of Huaxia.
What was the reason for this?
"So!"
Old Lady Liang continued, "Lady Immortal brought her power here to select the foremost among the Five Great Holy Lands, also to better consolidate your strength to face the upcoming catastrophes. Are you still unwilling to accept?"
Qin Feng furrowed his brows in contemplation.
If what she said was true, it was necessary to inherit that power.
But.
Something still felt off.
After hesitating, Qin Feng spoke again, "I have another question."
"Ask."
"You claimed you are from the Upper Realm, but you recognized my 'Dragon Roar' and 'Human Emperor Step.' How is this so?" Qin Feng asked.
"To be honest, I'm also puzzled. Why people from the Lower Realm would know 'Dragon Roar' and 'Human Emperor Step,'" Old Lady Liang said, "These two cultivation techniques originated in our Upper Realm and even if they spread to your Lower Realm, you shouldn't be able to master them."
"..."
Qin Feng was bewildered.
These were cultivation techniques from the last era?
That was really strange.
After a pause,
Qin Feng asked again, "You mentioned that the higher-ups have set their sights on us and that a disaster will occur here soon—when exactly? How long do we have?"
"This is uncertain, but I'm sure, not more than three years. It could even be just one year," said Old Lady Liang.
"Alright, I accept then!"
Qin Feng spoke earnestly.
Seeing his grave expression, Old Lady Liang said in frustration, "This is a power many dream of having; I really don't understand why you resist so much, it's incomprehensible."
"It implies responsibility."
Qin Feng said.
At that word, Old Lady Liang felt a shiver in her heart.
Responsibility?
She then understood that Qin Feng chose to inherit the power because of responsibility, not for the sake of Purple Cloud Immortal's last wish.
It reminded her of Purple Cloud Immortal, who also made great sacrifices because of "responsibility."
"Granny, why are you still dazed? Finish it, I need to go save my friend."
Seeing her in a daze, Qin Feng urged.
"Alright, alright, beginning now."
Old Lady Liang said.
At that moment, she was finally convinced she hadn't chosen the wrong person.
What she needed, or rather what Purple Cloud Immortal needed, was a responsible person!
Otherwise, if he inherited the power and only fulfilled the Fairy's last wish, ignoring the safety of this world and using the power to ascend to the Upper Realm, it wouldn't align with the wishes of Purple Cloud Immortal. One reason why Purple Cloud Immortal chose to find a successor in the Lower Realm was due to her deep connections with it and her unwillingness to see it destroyed.
Quickly,
Old Lady Liang took out a Spirit Talisman, yet after shaping a hand movement, the talisman turned into glowing fragments that sprinkled onto the statue of Purple Cloud Immortal.
Inside the statue's body, five beads immediately lit up.
White, green, blue, red, yellow!
The beads sparkled, containing an extremely powerful aura!
"Those five beads correspond to the five elemental powers: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. You can only choose one; the remaining four will be chosen by people selected from the other Four Great Holy Lands," Granny Liang said.
Qin Feng hesitated briefly before saying, "I choose 'wood'."
"Why?"
Granny Liang was surprised and curiously asked, "Most would choose 'fire' first, as its attack power is far more fearsome than the other four elements. As the first person with a choice, why didn't you choose fire, but wood instead?"
"Granny, have you ever watched 'Naruto'?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"What is that?" Granny Liang clearly hadn't seen it.
"You would know if you had seen it," Qin Feng chuckled.
In Naruto, the wood element power is definitely rare and powerful!
First Generation Fire Shadow, Hashirama.
He utilized it to the fullest extent.
Skills like Deep Forest Emergence, Deep Forest Bloom, Wood Dragon, and Wood Human are all very powerful.
Even more impressive is that wood symbolizes the aura of life; it can heal without seal, and wounds can heal themselves. It is said that no one can kill him on the battlefield, and together with Uchiha Madara, he is known as the God of Ninjas!
However, this is all nonsense.
The reason Qin Feng chose "wood" is partly because it reminded him of Withered Wood Spring.
Its life aura may have profound implications for medical skills.
On the other hand, he already possesses one of the strongest fires in the world, "Nanli Divine Fire." He only needs to enhance his cultivation to cultivate the "Nanli Divine Fire," no need for other fires.
Moreover, fire meets wood, making it burn even more fiercely!
"Since you've decided, I will pass on the 'Wood Power' to you," Granny Liang then said, "Place one palm on the heart of Purple Cloud Immortal."
"Oh?"
Qin Feng was a bit stunned, looked at the position over her heart, and with a reddened face, he said, "This... Isn't it a bit inappropriate? Can't it be somewhere else?"
"What's inappropriate? Other powers can be transferred at the back or forehead, but if you want the 'Wood Power,' it must be transmitted at the heart," Granny Liang said.
There was no helping it.
With a blushing face and quite embarrassed, Qin Feng pressed his hand there.
Smack!
Seeing this, Granny Liang suddenly knocked on his head and angrily said, "You pervert, what are you doing! I told you to press on the heart, and you act so indecently! This is an insult to the Immortal!"
"Cough cough, I apologize, I pressed off by a bit," Qin Feng awkwardly scratched his head.
Soon after.
Granny Liang began to perform the hand movement again, then pointed at an acupoint on Qin Feng's back.
Following this.
In the crystal stone statue of Purple Cloud Immortal, the green pearl quickly flashed light and spun rapidly, eventually forming a stream of green aura that surged from the heart towards Qin Feng's palm.
After imparting the Wood Essence.
"How strong!!"
Qin Feng immediately sat cross-legged and began refining.
He clearly felt that this was Immortal Energy!
Different from his own Purple Star Immortal Energy, which was unrefined and could be used freely.
This strand of Immortal Energy, refined by Purple Cloud Immortal, carried the "Wood Power."
Qin Feng felt.
Under the circulation of this strand of Immortal Energy, his whole being felt refreshed, as if he had just awakened, without a trace of fatigue!
When the Immortal Energy circulated in the Qi Sea of his Dantian, the whole Qi Sea underwent earth-shaking changes, and Qin Feng exclaimed, "This is... a continuous stream of life force!"
