Chapter 638: Chapter 370 Mature and Steady_2

“What do you need us to do for you? After we finish this task, what will we receive in return?”

At this moment, the ancient Da Kun started to pay attention to Feng Qing’an’s demand.

“It’s nothing major, just a trivial matter to you. I have just arrived here and felt the malice from a group of the Merfolk towards me. I want to eradicate the source of this malevolence, hence I sought you out via this small creature.”

Feng Qing’an’s tone was casual, just as if he were discussing a small chore like weeding at night.

In fact, for the Kun Group, exterminating a Merfolk kingdom with a Human Immortal is not a difficult task. They only need to swim around the Merfolk’s territory, which should be sufficient to destroy everything due to their size.

“What can you gain from destroying this Merfolk kingdom?”

Feng Qing’an’s light and flippant tone became somewhat serious. He looked steadily at the immense beast in front of him, whose eye itself was larger than his eighteen-foot-tall figure.

“You gain the privilege to follow me, the opportunity to receive blessings from me!”

The extremely arrogant tone, as if considering nothing of them, drew all the Da Kun’s attention toward him. Even the few who were immersed in joy from finding their lost child looked at him. However, Feng Qing’an seemed oblivious.

“Who are you?”

Hearing Feng Qing’an utter these words, the old Da Kun scrutinized him before asking the question that should have been asked long ago.

“Me? Just an obscure and clanless man who wants to tour the world, I don’t have an impressive background.”

Feng Qing’an gave a carefree laugh. Indeed, he did not have any substantial background or a well-known reputation that could shake the world.

“…”

However, upon hearing his words, all of the Da Kun fell silent. Even the oldest Da Kun didn’t know how to respond.

A tiny Kun fish with golden spots on its body, still oblivious to the mood shift and swimming around his parents, was enough to prove how extraordinary this Human Race was.

Under such circumstances, a Human who claimed to have no name or clan, would be more terrifying than those who did. They didn’t fear him boasting about his grand background, but rather feared he wouldn’t say anything at all because they wouldn’t even know where to begin with their guesses.

“Human, even if we follow you, how can you take us with you? We are the ancient, primeval race, without the ability to transform as per our wishes through Divine Power, nor do we cultivate such power.”

After a long silence, even the old Da Kun, whose intellect was not sharp by birth because of its ancient lineage, tried to probe Feng Qing’an’s background through indirect means.

“Isn’t it simple? You can enter my Cave Sky. During my leisure, you can roam around in my Cave Sky. On call, you can descend on my enemies!”

Feng Qing’an casually waved his hand and a bright paradise with a radiant aura emerged behind him.

Cave Sky!

Even though fewer members of the Kun Group had ever seen a real immortal Cave Sky, they had managed to recognize it through their inherited ancestral knowledge. What exactly was the object that had just appeared in front of them?

In this instant, the ones among the Kuns who were intelligent enough had their eyes set on Feng Qing’an, watching him in a completely different light.

What kind of being could casually access a portal to the Cave Sky?

A Heavenly Immortal!

If he truly was a Heavenly Immortal, then it wouldn’t be surprising that he could perform such godly deeds that could change destiny.

However, this Heavenly Immortal seemed too weak. They felt as if they could gulp him down in one go.

“Are you a Heavenly Immortal?”

The oldest Da Kun cautiously asked. If this seemingly weak Human was a Heavenly Immortal, he would have the Divine Power to obliterate entire races with just the wave of a hand. Even he would not be able to resist.

“A Heavenly Immortal? No.”

Feng Qing’an immediately shook his head in denial. However, his words and demeanor, seen through the eyes of these Great Kun, who were simple-minded and even quite naive, were pure obfuscation. He even revealed the Cave Sky, yet denied being a Heavenly Immortal. Who else other than a Heavenly Immortal could command a Cave Sky?

Not a Heavenly Immortal but able to command a Cave Sky. Such a person, among Immortal Sects and Taoism, could be even more terrifying than an ordinary Heavenly Immortal.

“There’s no need to guess wildly; I indeed have no school or sect. In terms of this Cave Sky, it’s merely a stroke of luck. Just a set of fortunate circumstances that I stumbled upon,” Feng Qing’an declared.

Fortunate circumstances? A stroke of luck?

Hearing Feng Qing’an’s words made the Old Kun even more certain that the seemingly insignificant figure of the Human Race in front of him had an incredible background, even too enormous for him to speculate upon.

When it comes to a Cave Sky, there’s no such thing as fortunate circumstances, let alone any accidental missteps. Everything is preordained. The so-called coincidences are all carefully arranged.

“Your Excellency, where are the Merfolk you spoke of?” The Old Kun directly asked Feng Qing’an. Even if he could not obtain the opportunity like that young one of his species did, having a chance would still be great.

“You’ve made your decision so quickly? Won’t you ponder a bit more? If you follow me afterwards, most of the time, you can only stay in the Cave Sky. Although the vast sea inside it isn’t small, compared to the endless ocean before us, it is still rather narrow.”

Feng Qing’an saw the decisiveness of the Old Kun before him and praised it, but he couldn’t help but remind him.

He could deceive the ignorant young Kun and even forcibly contract one, turning it into his Guardian Beast.

However, when facing these Old Kun, who had survived for countless years, he had to treat them on relatively equal terms. If he carelessly provoked them and they got enraged, he could only flee for his life, unable to suppress them himself.

“Do you know how long I have been roaming in this deep sea?”

“I can’t really tell, but judging from your appearance, a couple of thousands of years?”

Feng Qing’an offered a relatively conservative estimate. As far as he knew, even if a human Cultivator were on the brink of reaching the Heart-Moving stage, they would only extend their lifespan by fifteen hundred years. In comparison, these ancient giant creatures with unique bloodlines could live ten times longer than a human, and it wouldn’t be surprising.

“Seventeen Thousand years. No matter how vast this ocean is, I’m tired of it. I want to try what it feels like to soar in the Nine Heavens!”

“I understand now!”

Feng Qing’an suddenly understood the meaning of this Old Kun. But at the same time, he was curious.

“I have a small doubt; I wonder if the elder would be willing to answer it for me.”

“I dare not be an elder to Your Excellency. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”

“Why did you, elder, not have any greed to restrain me forcibly and forcefully seize the method of bloodline advancement from me?”

Feng Qing’an was slightly curious. He admitted his attitude was a bit arrogant just now, but even so, none of these big guys planned to attack him. Should they be considered easy-going or broad-minded?

“Your Excellency, although I am old, I still have thirteen thousand years of life left.”

Hearing Feng Qing’an’s slightly curious question, the Old Kun responded in a faint voice.

He admitted that the brains of their species were not very bright, but he had lived for so long. As for this person who, in a short period, helped a member of their species ascend to a level he could not even imagine, would he casually attack such a person, just to seek a method of bloodline advancement that might not exist?

Even if his brain was scooped out and filled with intestines, he wouldn’t make such a foolish plan.

“Hahaha, you’re really interesting.”

Feng Qing’an burst into laughter at his response. The Old Kun before him was mature and steady, the best interpretation of his character.

“I thank Your Excellency for the praise. Might I ask which one of the Merfolk has offended Your Excellency?”

“That’s what I need to ask your kin.”
