Battle Through the Heavens: I Am Han Feng, Respect the Teacher and Value the Dao

The people before him were likely all famous figures in the Imperial Capital.

Han Feng calmly stepped forward and asked Hai Bodong, "Has your strength recovered?"

"Mm."

"That's good. These people are...?"

"People drawn here by the lightning tribulation."

Hai Bodong glanced at Jia Xing Tian.

"That man is the emperor of the Jia Ma Empire. Beside him is Fa Ma, president of the Alchemist Guild. As for that woman... I don't know her. She seems to be from the Misty Cloud Sect."

Mitel Tengshan, standing nearby, coughed and joined the conversation.

"Elder Hai, that woman is Yun Yun, the Misty Cloud Sect's new Sect Master."

"I see. Oh, this is Teng Shan, the one I told you about—the current clan leader of the Mite'er Family."

Hai Bodong introduced him to Han Feng.

Han Feng smiled faintly at Teng Shan. "My apologies, Clan Leader Tengshan. I disturbed your clan grounds."

Mitel Tengshan's tongue nearly tied itself in knots. It was not that he could not speak, but that he did not know how to treat a Rank 7 Alchemist.

"Master Han, you flatter me."

After holding it in for quite a while, Mitel Tengshan finally managed those words. He then gave Han Feng a deep bow, using his actions to show his respect.

"That's enough. Such little promise. I really don't know how you became clan leader."

Hai Bodong scolded him disdainfully. Teng Shan gave an embarrassed smile and stepped aside, acting like a junior.

At that moment, Jia Xing Tian approached with a smile.

"Master Han, what skill. You actually managed to refine a Rank 7 Pill."

"State Lord Jia."

Han Feng nodded slightly in greeting.

"I am Fa Ma. Greetings, Master Han."

The elderly man with the massive medicinal cauldron above his head bowed to Han Feng. Han Feng was somewhat worried that the old man's stooped body might be bent further beneath the cauldron's weight.

However, the man was clearly a cultivator. After bowing, he straightened himself steadily.

"Greetings."

The sword-bearing woman also took the opportunity to step forward and cupped her sword in salute.

"I am Yun Yun. Greetings, Master Han."

"Mm."

After greeting each of them, Han Feng smiled. "The heavenly lightning disturbed you all, so let me offer my apologies first. If there is something you wish to discuss, send an invitation another day. If not, please return on your own."

This was, after all, the Mite'er Family's clan grounds. These great figures had crossed the boundary to come here, which was already somewhat improper.

However, since it concerned Han Feng, neither Teng Shan nor Hai Bodong had taken the initiative to show their stance.

Seeing Han Feng issue an order to leave, they could not remain any longer. Jia Xing Tian was the first to spread his Dou Qi Wings.

"Master Han, I shall await you quietly in the imperial palace."

Yun Yun was startled inwardly. The royal family already had dealings with Master Han?

At the previous Alchemist Convention, the Misty Cloud Sect had successfully recruited Gu He, the tournament champion. She had thought they had gained an advantage over the royal family, but now it seemed that the royal family was still the royal family.

"Sect Master Yun?"

The others had all left. Even the experts watching from beyond the walls quietly withdrew. Only Yun Yun remained where she was.

"Master Han, the Misty Cloud Sect would like to invite you to the sect for a discussion. When might you have time?"

Hai Bodong gave the new Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect a surprised glance and secretly shook his head. She really was inexperienced.

Sure enough, Han Feng kindly declined the female sect master.

"Haha, Sect Master Yun is too enthusiastic. But I do not have much free time at the moment. Why not wait until fate brings us together again, and then I will visit the Misty Cloud Sect for a talk?"

Yun Yun stood there awkwardly and bowed to Han Feng once more.

"Then Yun Yun shall take her leave first."

Han Feng watched her depart, his gaze warm and sunny. Yun Yun only met his eyes briefly, yet the faint resentment in her heart was soothed.

He probably did not reject me on purpose.

Yun Yun thought to herself.

Within the Mitel clan grounds, Han Feng withdrew his gaze.

"Trouble always follows fame. You two, I'll have to trouble you with the aftermath."

Hai Bodong and Teng Shan both cupped their fists.

"The Mite'er Family is willing to serve you like dogs and horses!"

Everything Han Feng had said just now had been from the Mite'er Family's perspective. Seizing this opportunity, the two old men immediately expressed their loyalty.

Master Han was not someone greedy for power or status, so there was no need to worry that he would make unreasonable demands of the Mite'er Family.

Since that was the case, why not cling tightly to Han Feng and use him to raise the family's prestige?

Hai Bodong and Teng Shan both understood very clearly that the help the Mite'er Family could offer Han Feng was far less than the help Han Feng could offer the Mite'er Family.

As long as Han Feng lived, he would be the Mite'er Family's greatest support.

Hearing them say this, Han Feng smiled and shook his head, but he did not refute or correct them.

He would consider it giving Hai Bodong some face.

The bond between ruler and subject was sometimes simply something that fell into place naturally.

And when the ruler was exceptionally strong, what mattered was not the subject's ability, but whether the ruler was willing to give them the opportunity.

After Han Feng left, the two raised their heads.

"Teng Shan, you've ruined my reputation!"

Hai Bodong shot Teng Shan a glare. If the man had not signaled him just now, he never would have done such a thing.

Mitel Tengshan smiled with narrowed eyes. "An opportunity must not be missed, Elder Hai. You still do not understand the rules of the Imperial Capital."

Bang!

Elder Hai punched Teng Shan on the forehead.

"Old fox!"

Hai Bodong cursed coldly, then turned and left.

Only Mitel Tengshan remained, clutching his head and bending over with a pained expression.

"You really didn't hold back!"

After returning to his room, Han Feng chatted with the three women for a while before entering the cultivation chamber.

He took the sleeping Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python from his pocket and placed the Spirit Guiding Pill into its mouth. With a gentle push, the pill slid over its soft, smooth little tongue and entered the little white snake's body.

Gulp.

A few seconds later, a gentle energy spread from the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's body.

It was working.

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python slowly floated from Han Feng's hand into midair, streams of seven-colored radiance shining in every direction.

With his Soul Power, Han Feng clearly saw the two Soul Bodies within the little white snake making their final farewell.

Cai'er

After a long while, both souls had been nourished by the Medicinal Power and became full and rounded. Only then did the Spirit Guiding Pill's true effect emerge.

One of the Soul Bodies was slowly drawn out of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's body by a subtle force. The entire process was quiet, without disturbing the soul, until it completely separated.

Han Feng promptly offered an Earth Fire Lotus Seed, helping the other soul reshape its body.

The separated soul eagerly swallowed the lotus seed, transforming the dense energy of heaven and earth within it into nourishment for itself.

At the instant its first natal seven-colored scale condensed into solid form, Han Feng clenched his fist.

"Success!"

Soul Condensation displayed its miraculous nature once again.

Sea Heart Flame burned in Han Feng's eyes, amplifying his own soul strength as he carefully observed the process of Soul Condensation.

The primordial qi gave birth to chaos.

The soul condensed into flesh, a creation of heaven and earth.

Did this Soul Condensation have something to do with this world?

Han Feng vaguely caught a trace of an indescribable aura.

However, that trace quickly vanished completely. Before Han Feng could continue grasping it, the process of Soul Condensation came to a stop.

What was going on?

Han Feng hurried forward, intending to feed it another Earth Fire Lotus Seed.

However, it had nothing to do with the amount of energy. Soul Condensation had already ended.

This newborn Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python was pitifully small, only one-third the size of the other one.

Still, at least it had a head and a tail. It had not completely failed halfway through.

"Why did this happen? Could Soul Condensation be related to that aura?"

Han Feng frowned in thought, but he could not find an answer in his mind.

How strange.

Han Feng sighed. This attempt had been somewhat flawed, but it could barely be considered a success.

Not only had he perfectly preserved both souls, he had also comprehended something that even the Dou Saint of his previous life had never understood. It was worth it.

Han Feng quietly waited for the two Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Pythons to awaken.

Logically speaking, nourished by the Rank 7 Pill, the Spirit Guiding Pill, their Soul Power should have returned to normal.

Buzz!

Perhaps because it was smaller, the newly born Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python was the first to move its eyelids.

Its pair of ignorant, innocent eyes slowly opened, and Han Feng watched with a smile.

The birth of new life was always so beautiful.

Yet the next moment, the expression in those eyes changed again and again. Finally, the entire snake body glowed and transformed into human form.

A girl around five or six years old appeared before Han Feng. She stared at her body in disbelief, then let out a childish scream.

"Han Feng! What did you do to this king?!"

Han Feng: ...

At that moment, the other Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python also opened its eyes, and the first person it saw was Han Feng.

Perhaps because it had previously consumed Han Feng's blood, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python instinctively pounced toward him.

The entire snake transformed into human form in midair, and a mature, voluptuous body threw itself into Han Feng's embrace.

Most importantly, she had come into the world completely naked, without using Dou Qi to form clothes.

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python retained its animal instincts and licked Han Feng's face again and again.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room froze.

The young Medusa shouted once more.

"Give me back my body!"
