Chapter 20: Harvest Time, First Mission

Shu Feng and Kei traveled for an hour while only walking. Since they were inside a forest which has a existence that far surpasses their current combat strength, they didn't want to act rashly and wanted to stay safe first.

Base on what they know, Demon King Forest waa divided into three parts. The outer, inner and center part. The outer part expands for almost 500 miles while the inner part extends for 700 miles. As for the center part of the region, no one knows how wide it is since everyone who entered the center part didn't come back anymore.

The outer part only compose of Demon Warriors and Demon Generals which is comparable to the Qi Condensation and Foundation Building Cultivators.

As for those at the inner part resides some One and Two Star Demon Kings. There was even a rumor that a Three Star were lurking in this part.

As for the existence in the center part, no one knows about its strength but base of the speculations, it was atleast at the Peak Three Star Demin King or much worse at the Average One Star Demon Sovereign.

[REMINDER: Average One Star Demon Warrior is comparable to the First Stage Qi Condensation.

Upper One Star Demon Warrior= Second Stage Qi Condensation.

Peak One Star Demon Warrior= Third Stage Qi Condensation.

Average Two Star Demon Warrior= Fourth Stage Qi Condensation.

So on and so forth..... But even though Average Two Star Demon Warrior is the same as the Fourth Stage Qi Condensation, Demon Beast is still much more stronger than humans]

We knows that Demon Sovereigns were the same as a Nascent Soul Cultivators. But this is not the problem of Shu Feng and Kei because they decided that they would advance with atmost care.

After entering the Outer Part of the forest, it was completely silent which was odd. They thought that they would get assaulted right away since this place contains millions of Demon Beast.

But they didn't even encounter a single beast. After a while, they saw a Peak One Star Demon General. But as soon as they tried to get close and engage in combat, it immidiately run away from them.

'What is happening here UG?' Shu Feng ask while frowning. How can he collect System Points if not even a single beast dared to fight them?

"Demon Beast has a strict hierarchy, when they sense someone terryfying, they will immediately tuck their tails and run away. They feared the strong ones like some beast that possess a high leveled bloodline.

They sense the aura of Ancient Dragon coming off from Kei and considered it as someone of a higher being that they didn't want to offend so they quickly retreated." UG answered him in full details to enlighten Shu Feng.

'Hmm.' Feng reminisces about it and look at Kei in a weired expression. Seeing his Big Brother's look, Kei cannot help but feel awful like he did something wrong again.

"Hide your aura, the Demon Beasts felt your presence and runs away before we could even approach them." Shu Feng told to Kei.

Kei just tilt his head in confusion since he did not know how to hide his aura. It was because his aura was the cause of his bloodline and cannot be hide even if he wanted to. His aura was automatically coming ofr from him and he was not aware of it.

Looking at his confuse face, Shu Feng sigh and casually wave his hand and a wave of warm energy covered Kei and immidiately hides his aura.

With the problem being solved, they immediately advance forward and engaged in a battle with some Demon Generals. They vary from One Star to the three Star.

After a full day of 'harvesting', Shu Feng got another total of 8 360 SP. Some beast he killed is at the Qi Condensation but the majority is at the Foundation Building.

He also improved all of his stats during the day, he can also feel that he can break through sooner or later. And once he break through, he can finally complete the five basic elements and unlock his Inner World.

It was already night time and Shu Feng was cultivating in front of their camp fire. Kei was also practicing his cultivation manual.

'How much is the cost for upgrading my 'Analyze' abilty?' Shu Feng ask to UG.

*Ding*

[Analyze- Upgrade(1 000 SP)

Shu Feng read carefully about the new funtions and felt please, at least he didn't need to touch the target anymore.

'Yes'. Shu Feng answered without much thinking.

With that notification, Shu Feng looked towards Kei and decided to test his new upgraded ability.

Title: Son of Human Celestial and Descendant of Ancient Dragon]

'There are a lot of added stats, huh. It seems like Kei was still not a pure Ancient Celestial Dragon. Well, it made sense since his Human Bloodline is very strong. It's just a pity that his mother is not a pure Celestial.' Shu Feng thought while looking at the Status of Kei.

'What is the level of every talent from lowest to the highest UG?'

*Ding*

"Yellow, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Black and Golden."

'Woah, so Kei was talented after all. And with the help of his two supreme bloodlines, he can achieve more.' Shu Feng exclaimed to himself and cannot keep but wonder what is his talent.

"The Host's talent is higher than Kei. So you must not worry about it. But the System advice the Host not to rely on talent alone due to its limit. Talent is just another factor that is needed to become strong." UG explained without giving any praises about Shu Feng's talent.

In response, Shu Feng just nodded in acknowledgement because what UG told him makes sense.

.....

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Several explosions could be heard coming from the Inner part of the forest. After a few minutes of fighting, the Demon Beast collapse on the ground with a thud.

*Ding*

[Fourth Stage Core Formation Demon Python Killed

+130 SP]

Shu Feng gasp for his breath after he killed a Average Two Star Demon King. He was holding the Gluttony Sword in his right hand.

The Python was a combat type of Demon Beast with a very strong defense. He could only kill it after dealing a severe slash into the side of it's mouth. After it loss a lot of blood, he immidiately deal the killing blow.

The other thing that is hindering him in battling properly was the sword itself. It still has a little bit of resistance which made his body exhausted in a faster rate since he needed to suppress it using his Basic Chaos Energy while in a battle.

The reason why he decided to use the sword was because UG told him so. He needs to use it every now and then to farther strengthen their bond. Although it was dangerous, he can still manage to suppress it.

It was already three days after they arrived here. In the morning until the afternoon, both Shu Feng and Kei would hunt some Demon Beast while advancing forward. And in the evening they would both sleep and didn't cultivate that much since it was pretty exhausting fighting all day.

They are currently in the Inner Part of the forest and compared to the Outer Part, the beast here were 30% lesser. But their strength was not deniable.

They even entered a territory of a Upper Two Star Demon King Dragon Crocodile, they didn't have a choice but to run since they are not confident in killing it.

But the Demon Beast was very crazy! It keep on chasing them and it only stopped after it reach it's own territory boundery.

"Let's rest here first before we move on further." Shu Feng suggested to Kei and decided to recuperate first since Kei was also exhausted due to fighting all the underlings of the Demon Python. And among all ot its subordinate was a Demon Python at the First Stage of Core Formation being the strongest ane some other Peak Stage Foundation Building Demon Pythons.

It seems like the First Stage and Fourth Stage Demon Python were a couple. The First Stage being the female and the Fourth Stage being the male.

After a full hour of meditation, Shu Feng felt like his Dantian was full again and ready to fight. Even Kei opened his eyes and seemed to be ready also.

Shu Feng felt like the barriers hindering him to break through were loosening up. It was just a matter of time before he entered the Fourth Stage.

They continued their harvesting and manage to kill another twenty Fourth Stage Core Formation Demon Beast. It gave Shu Feng a total of 2 600 SP.

Just as they were about to rest, UG gave him a abrupt notification.

*Ding*

[Mission: Advance to the Fifth Stage of Foundation Building Realm.

Time Limit: 2 days

Reward: High Grade Spirit Rank Foundation Enhancement Pill

Penalty: System Removal]

'What?!' Shu Feng screamed inside him. Why the sudden mission? And why did the penalty needs to be system removal?

Hearing his complain, UG answered him without any hint of emotion.

"The Host has been neglecting his cultivation greatly and just focuses on earning System Points these past few days. Although it was good to enhance your combat experience, there is no more things that you can learn from battling some Fourth Stage Core Formation Demon Beast so fighting them would be useless anymore. And with this reason, the system needs to post a mission with a threatening penalty in order for the Host to complete the mission. As for why it needs to be at the Fifth Stage, the system has it's own reason." UG answered while explaining to Shu Feng all of his complains.

Shu Feng thought about it and it did make sense. The system were here to guide him from the very start so it was reasonable. He didn't argue with the system anymore and just rested at where he is standing.

He decided to sleep first and perform the mission tomorrow morning, he has two days after all so he didn't need to worry about not being able to break through to the Fifth Stage. With all his accumulations during these few days, he was even confident in breakinv through to the Sixth Stage in two days if he wanted to.

But since he was only required to enter the Fifth Stage then that is what he would do so. Shu Feng wanted to have a very sturdy Foundation after all.

Shu Feng watch the black sky engulped the bright sun and let himself be embrace by his sleepness. He just close his eyes and let the night pass and welcome a new day tomorrow.

Kei was also sleeping at his side. Shu Feng actually bought a Tent and some pillows and blanket from the system.

The first time thaf Kei saw the tent and the soft pillows, he cannot help but look forward in sleeping.

But the most irritating part for Shu Feng is that his Little Brother was always snoring and moves from one place to another when he was sleeping.

There was even a one time that Kei manage to move from the tent into the outside with his own blanket that has a image of a cute dragon on it. And just like that, he sleeps outside the tent and even blamed his Big Brother for kicking him out.
