Di Tian's lips curled upward for a moment, then quickly settled back into a straight line.

Zi Ji wondered if she'd imagined it and rubbed her eyes.

"Has Liu Feng finished understanding it?"

Di Tian ignored her and turned to go back inside.

Liu Feng was meditating with his eyes closed, a faint aura of light radiating from him.

"The Radiant Holy Dragon, huh..."

Zi Ji gave a scornful chuckle, full of disdain.

Of course, she wasn't looking down on Liu Feng.

For Liu Feng to use the meditation method of the Radiant Holy Dragon with the bloodline of a foreign race like the elves was already an extraordinary feat.

Even among pure-blooded dragons, with their wealth of inherited bloodline knowledge, almost none could reach Liu Feng's level.

After all, when it came to comprehension, Soul Beasts couldn't match the finest humans.

"I didn't expect Liu Feng to understand it so quickly," Di Tian said. "Since that's the case, we should all tell him about our meditation insights and see how much he can absorb on his own."

"When he's gained enough insight into meditation methods, he'll be able to draw inferences from one example and understand the method best suited to him."

Di Tian watched Liu Feng expectantly, harboring high hopes for him.

Zi Ji glanced at Di Tian in surprise. "Y-you ever think that with brains like the Ten Thousand Demon King's and Xiong Jun's, they might not even be able to put their feelings into words?"

"..."

Di Tian's face stiffened. Although Ferocious Beasts were no less intelligent than humans, meditation methods were deeply attuned to each individual. They couldn't be explained just by talking.

He and Zi Ji were both pure-blooded dragons, so they could manage it. But some of the Ferocious Beasts...

The thought made his expression awkward.

"We still have to try..."

Several days later.

Liu Feng had mastered the other meditation methods one by one.

That was the benefit of being close to nature: it greatly enhanced one's comprehension!

Even though they weren't very compatible with him, they were still easy to master.

Seeing this, Di Tian led him to meet Snow Empress and the other three great Ferocious Beasts.

Snow Empress, Ice Empress, the Titan Snow Demon King, and the Ice Bear King had all taken human form.

Ice Empress was a haughty young woman with jade-green twin tails. The Titan Snow Demon King was a tall, burly man, while the Ice Bear King was a plump, white giant with an endearingly clumsy air.

Their expressions varied, but they all watched Liu Feng with scrutinizing eyes.

"...I hope you'll explain your meditation insights to Liu Feng. That way, Liu Feng and the Auspicious Beast can stay here a while longer, giving Snow Empress more time to prepare."

Di Tian spoke calmly.

Ice Empress opened her mouth, ready to snap back at Di Tian.

But when she heard it concerned Snow Empress, she held back, grumbling, "A little elf wants to learn our meditation methods? Di Tian, don't tell me you want him to stay in the Extreme North forever?"

Snow Empress gently rubbed Ice Empress's head and shook hers.

"Fine. I'll teach him everything I know. I like Liu Feng."

Ice Empress instantly panicked. "Xue'er!!!"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion stepped in front of Liu Feng as well, glaring at Snow Empress with displeasure.

Snow Empress tilted her head, puzzled by the sudden hostility from the two Ferocious Beasts.

She and Liu Feng were both spirits favored by heaven and earth. What was wrong with them being close to each other and liking one another?

"Mom likes you, so I, Xiao Bai, like you too!"

The big, white, plump Ice Bear King came over, thumped his chest, and boomed, "Liu Feng, I'll tell you how our Ice Bear Clan meditates!"

Liu Feng smiled softly. "All right. Thank you."

He wanted to understand a meditation method of his own, and the more successful experiences he could learn from, the better!

The importance of meditation methods went without saying.

If he took his natural Soul Power generation speed as "one hundred,"

then a good meditation method could raise that speed to two or three hundred!

The Radiant Holy Dragon's meditation method could even raise it to four hundred and thirty.

That was faster still than the Sacred Meditation Method Ye Jiaolong had given him, which reached three hundred and seventy.

But Liu Feng could clearly feel that none of these methods quite suited him.

The other Ferocious Beasts all gathered around. They had nothing else to do, anyway.

The Ferocious Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest had come mainly to ensure Liu Feng and Three-Eyed Golden Lion's safety.

Ice Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King didn't leave either. They didn't expect this to be finished quickly, but there wasn't anything fun to do outside.

After staying in the Extreme North for long enough, one realized it was a desolate place, devoid of life.

The Ice Bear King sat on the ground, staring blankly at Liu Feng. He scratched his head and didn't say a word.

"..."

Liu Feng looked back at him, waiting for him to share his meditation insights.

The other Ferocious Beasts watched too, growing more and more impatient.

Xiong Jun snapped, "Ice Bear King, don't tell me you're backing out? Quit dragging your feet. You're driving me crazy!"

The Ice Bear King growled at Xiong Jun, then said helplessly, "I... I can't explain it! What even is a meditation method?"

"..."

Di Tian's expression shifted repeatedly. How could this guy be even more simple-minded than the Ten Thousand Demon King?!

Zi Ji laughed so hard she doubled over, clutching her stomach until tears streamed from her eyes.

"You big oaf... Di Tian, this is your plan?"

Ice Empress kept a straight face, barely managing not to laugh.

Snow Empress spoke gently. "Xiao Bai, when you're most relaxed, what do you feel? How does the Soul Power inside you move? Just describe what it feels like then."

The Ice Bear King grunted and thought it over carefully before stammering, "It's... warm in my belly, really comfortable. It feels like hot water's flowing down my whole back, following this way, and this way..."

"Then it all goes to my head. I really want to sleep, but it's not quite like sleeping..."

As he spoke, the Ice Bear King toppled backward and landed on the ice. He promptly began snoring.

"???"

The Ferocious Beasts stared, dumbfounded. Wait, was he actually demonstrating it on the spot?

Di Tian clenched his fists. He felt he'd made the most foolish decision of his life!

Having these simpletons teach Liu Feng would only hold him back!

No, he had to teach Liu Feng himself!

"Thump..."

Suddenly, there was another soft thud.

Liu Feng had lain down too, a peaceful aura radiating from him—the very same as the Ice Bear King's!

Had he really resonated with the Ice Bear King's words?!

"This... actually worked?"

Zi Ji's eyes widened in disbelief.

Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Good. He hadn't made the wrong decision after all.

At the same time, more than three hundred li away.

Huo Yuhao had also collapsed into a snowdrift, gazing blankly up at the sky.

"Brother Sky Dream, I-I can't go on. If we go any farther in, I'll freeze to death..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm appeared beside him and sighed.

What a pity. My Soul Power was all devoured by little Liu Feng. I only have my spiritual power left. But I keep feeling like someone's telling me they'll give us a hand.

Huo Yuhao let out a bewildered "Ah." Who could help him?

He assumed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was only trying to comfort him.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, however, was an optimist. He said earnestly, "Don't worry, little Yuhao. If no one were going to help me, I'd have been killed by Three-Eyed Golden Lion ages ago!"

"Now that voice has appeared again and told us to wait here. So let's wait. Maybe a miracle will happen!"
