Chapter 489: Death? New Life! (Part 4)
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
“Although you’d still have died even if I hadn’t taken over your body, I guess that this can be considered a karmic relation as well. Since it’s like that, I’ll take care of your later generations for you,” Bei Feng muttered to himself. No matter how one saw it, he’d taken over another person’s body. This was a karmic seed that’d been sowed.
After saying that, a powerful force of mental power gushed out of him and wrapped every part of his body as he inspected it.
“This body was simply too advanced in years. If not for the System working together the Heaven Earth Lingqi to reconstruct it, even if I wanted to achieve a breakthrough with it, it would take a huge amount of effort. Fortunately, that effort has been saved.”
With the age of this body, and the rate that the blood and Qi had deteoriated to, wanting to break through to the Xiantian realm was as difficult as trying to ascend to the heavens. But thankfully, after it’d been reformed, the bone marrow’s ability to create new blood cells had improved by a large margin.
Large amounts of newly created blood continuously appeared, replacing the old and lethargic blood.
Every soul was unique, and now that this body had changed the soul, the newly created blood was not the same as Lu Qintian’s original one.
By the time Bei Feng finished replacing all of Lu Qintian’s blood, even a doctor’d only see that it was completely different from before.
Bei Feng moved his body around but did not feel any discomfort at all. His body had merged perfectly with this new body. The only thing that he wasn’t used to was that he’d lost the power and strength that came from his original body.
Nodding with satisfaction, Bei Feng sat down cross-legged on the bed and formed numerous incredibly profound hand seals. Originally, the Heaven Earth Lingqi had already begun to disperse after the reformation was completed. But as Bei Feng formed the hand seals, the Heaven Earth Lingqi shuddered and flooded towards him once again at an even more ferocious rate!
“How come father still hasn’t broken through after so long? There wouldn’t be an accident inside, would there?”
Lu Huang still felt quite worried. Earlier, it was because he’d felt that his father had reached the end of his lifespan, and there was nothing to be done—that was why he began to think about the inheritance. But now that there was some hope, and knowing that his father was making the final struggle inside, it would be a lie if he said that he wasn’t worried. After all, as the youngest son, he had been doted on the most by his father since a young age.
Kong Quan felt the corners of his mouth twitch lightly. What do you mean by ‘there wouldn’t be an accident’? There’s a 99.99 percent chance of things going wrong! In fact, if he managed to break through, that would be the ‘accident’! Throughout his entire career, he’d never even heard of anyone who managed to achieve a breakthrough whilst struggling at death’s door at the end of their lifespan, hanging on by relying on medicine!
Lu Liang and Lu Baiyu were similarly filled with worries and anxiousness. All three brothers looked young, in their thirties and fourties; they were all talented individuals and had large amounts of resources. As such, all three brothers had already broken through to the third layer of the Hundred Year realm, and obtained 400 years’s worth of lifespan! So while they seemed young on the outside, even the youngest Lu Huang was over 50 years old.
Inside the room, Bei Feng’s body was currently extremely stuffed after absorbing too much Heaven Earth Lingqi. The speed at which the second stage of the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique absorbed Heaven Earth Lingqi was comparable to the peak third layer on Earth.
“Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique, break!”
Bei Feng’s voice rang out brightly. In that instant, a lock seemed to have been ripped apart. A horrifying blood and Qi aura instantly surged upwards!
The martial cultivators in the current era all practiced dual cultivating of the Qi and blood, unlocking the secrets of the human body!
As the saying went, grasping one path would result in the mastery of all paths. The cultivation methods here were esentially the same as Earth’s, only differing on minor points. Bei Feng only gave the matter a brief thought and directly chose the Tianmu Planet’s cultivation style.
The first body’s secret that this cultivation method unlocked was the heart. Once it was unlocked, the heart would be over 10 times stronger than before. Furthermore, it would continue to grow stronger with time!
The powerful improved heart continuously pumped Qi and blood all over the body. The blood was as mercury, washing through the body over and over again, letting the body start to strengthen gradually.
Although he’d succeeded in breaking through, Bei Feng did not hurry to exit cultivation. He continued to revolve the cultivation method, solidifying up his foundations.
“My god! He’s actually managed to break through even in such a state!”
Kong Quan’s jaws nearly dropped onto the ground with shock. When Bei Feng’s bright voice rang out, he as a slightly reputable doctor could naturally tell that the person who uttered that boisterous shout was in an excellent condition!
“Yes! Father actually really managed to break through!”
Lu Liang started crying from sheer joy.
‘This old fellow’s life is truly sturdy!’
Zhu Mei cursed darkly with disbelief. The family business was something that the old man had built up himself. Now that he wasn’t going to die, there was naturally no inheritance to speak of.
“Grandpa is incredible! The heavens indeed keep a way out for the good people!”
Lu Qilin jumped on the spot with joy. Grandpa doted on him the most, and every time he did something wrong and his father wanted to scold him, he would always run to his grandpa. The beloved old man was his greatest backer!
Time passed slowly. An hour had gone by, but there was no movement from inside the room. Everyone was in an extremely anxious state. According to logic, Lu Qintian should have broken through long ago, so why wasn’t he out yet?
“Ge-ji!”
Just as everyone was beginning to panic, thinking about barging into the room, the door suddenly opened and a 40-something years old middle-aged man walked out.
“Father!”
“Grandpa!”
The group of people immediately crowded over as soon as Bei Feng came out. Lu Qilin’s eyes widened with shock when he saw the handsome demeanor of his grandpa, and he could not help but to exclaim with shock, “Pu, so it turns out that my dear grandpa was actually so handsome when he was young!”
“Peng!”
“Damn rascal, is that how you talk to your grandpa?”
A black line appeared across Lu Baiyu’s forehead as he clapped a palm against the back of Lu Qilin’s head, causing the latter to stumble.
“En. Prepare some Demonic Beast meat, I’m going to take a bath first,” Bei Feng muttered cooly, but his heart was filled with awkwardness. The moment he’d assumed his new life, he was immediately greeted by a bunch of children and grandchildren; how could he not be shocked?
The crowd did not show any suspicion at his attitude as they noticed the look of lethargy and the stench on his clothes. Everyone immediately dispersed and began to make perparations.
Inside the large modern manor, a group of servants was running all over the place in a fluster.
As for Bei Feng, he was soaking inside a pool, allowing the hot water to wash the stinky dirt off his body.
“Looks like I’ll still need a period of time to adjust myself to this body.”
Bei Feng was not in a hurry. After all, this could be counted as starting a new life. As a person who’d cultivated before, he naturally understood the importance of a good foundation.
This body obviously still needed a period of time before it could recover to its peak state. The first thing that needed to be done was to completely replace the old and lethargic Qi and blood in the body.
Unknowingly, Bei Feng fell into a deep sleep as he relaxed inside the hot spring. The moon slowly climbed over the treetops, and Bei Feng finally opened his eyes and stretched lazily. As he did so, loud crackling sounds like fireworks popping off sounded out from his bones.
“Old Master, Young Master and the rest are waiting for you to start the meal.”
There were people who stood guard outside the door constantly, and when they saw that Bei Feng had fallen asleep, nobody came in to disturb him. At this time, when they heard him waking up, a butler came in with a towel and some clothes.
“En.”
Bei Feng nodded and stood up as he put on the clothes that were prepared for him. The clothes fitted him exceptionally well; the green robes were sewn in a way similar to the Han style clothing on Earth. Although the robe did not look very fancy from the outside, it was actually made from the beast skin of a Hundred Year second layer Demonic Beast.
Bei Feng had already incorporated Lu Qintian’s memories, and was naturally exceptionally familiar with the manor. Without any hesitation, he directly took the lead and walked in front.
The night sky was extremely enchanting this night. Three purple moons hung high up in the sky, each one the size of a horse carriage.
