Chapter 314: 307 This is not enough to establish authority_1

“`

“Outnumbered and overpowered, it retreated back into the pond and dared not come out again.”

Qin Niu had no intention of killing it, either. After teaching it a lesson, he watched the tumbling water of the pond. He couldn’t help but think, If the Diamond Ink Turtle advanced in level, who would be stronger between it and this giant python?

And in the Wash Crime River at the border of the Black Tiger Gang and the Nine Insect Gang, there was also that enormous creature—could it possibly be the legendary Jiao Dragon?

It is said that snakes with exceptional talent could transform into pythons in a hundred years, become Jiaos in a thousand, and upon encountering wind in ten thousand years, they would turn into dragons.

This python must have been around for quite some time already.

It seemed to be even stronger than that fierce tiger.

As for its level, that’s hard to say.

At the very least, it was above Grade Six, and it could very likely have reached Grade Seven.

It probably hasn’t reached the point of becoming demonic yet.

There’s a strong ferocity emanating from it, but no demonic aura is detected.

For beasts and serpents in the mountains to become demonic is about as difficult as for humans to become Immortal Masters. Not only does it require great talent, but also a great fortune and a significant transformative opportunity.

Merely diligent cultivation is generally insufficient to become demonic.

Before they become demonic, they have to withstand the hunts of various natural predators, as well as endure disease, injury, and natural disasters.

Even the king of beasts, the tiger, tries to avoid injury when hunting its prey.

Because once injured, death is likely to follow.

“Given time, there’s a good chance this Black Python will become demonic. Whether it can transform into a Jiao, it’s too soon to tell,” Qin Niu mused.

After observing the pond for a while, he decided not to linger any longer.

He would deal with the Black Python again in the future. Having established his dominance today, the next time they met, it should behave more submissively.

The sun was already sinking in the sky, and dusk was approaching.

He headed straight towards the location of the Ancient Banyan Tree to first bring out Xiao Qing.

The Qifeng Mountain Range was home to many powerful creatures. If Qin Niu wanted to become familiar with it, he couldn’t rush things; he had to take it step by step.

He believed that one day, the Qifeng Mountain Range would be as familiar to him as his own backyard.

His greatest desire was to coexist harmoniously with all the creatures and plants in the mountains. To live alongside those powerful creatures like friends, in this mountainous territory, was actually quite pleasant.

By the time he arrived at the Ancient Banyan Tree, the sun had reached the mountaintop and was about to set.

Qin Niu burst into the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree and immediately spotted Xiao Qing, who was still cultivating.

Powerful currents radiated from her center, wreaking havoc all around. Nearby saplings and weeds were whipped chaotically.

Xiao Qing’s aura was noticeably stronger than before.

Qin Niu was pleasantly surprised—Xiao Qing had finally broken through after so many days.

The reason why there was such violent turbulence around her was that she had just broken through and her realm was not yet stable, preventing her from controlling her internal energy well.

Having experienced this phenomenon himself, he was more than familiar with it.

At this moment, the branches had descended to a little over three meters high, and soon they would press down even further.

Qin Niu could even feel the cold energy constantly cascading down from the treetop.

“Xiao Qing, stop cultivating for now and hurry out of here,” Qin Niu called out.

She slowly gathered her cultivation and opened her eyes.

Confidence and joy were evident on her youthful face.

It was just as children are, unable to hide their emotions on their faces.

“Master, I’ve made a breakthrough,” Xiao Qing shared the good news with her master as the first thing.

“Congratulations, congratulations, let’s get out of here before we talk,” Qin Niu led her out of the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

“Master, this new realm is amazing! Inside me, there are two alchemy cauldrons made of energy that constantly rotate. I feel like my burst strength is more than ten times stronger than before.

Also, my sensitivity to plants has improved greatly.

This Ancient Banyan Tree is terrifying; its energy is like the boundless sky.”
