: Time Is Like A River, It Flows Unceasingly Without Rest

Bei Feng set his porridge to boil. In no time, a bowl of fragrant porridge was finished.
Mystic One’s injuries had almost fully recovered. If Mystic One had not acted quickly enough and used her ultimate technique, forming a defensive ball around her body with her whip, she would have lost her life directly back then.
As for Bai Xiang, he didn’t suffer any heavy injuries. His skin and muscles were extremely tough in the first place since he’d reached the late stage Xiantian level in both body cultivation and Qi refinement. His strength was nothing to scoff at, and just the shock wave from a blast was naturally unable to hurt him much.

Meep, meep!

The little fox followed the fragrance and walked in with its own bowl in its mouth. With a light jump, it leaped onto the table and sat down obediently.
The Cerberus also tried to squeeze into the villa. But with a stern stare from Bei Feng, it could only lie down quietly outside.
Bei Feng smiled lightly as he looked at the huge beast. His smile no longer looked elegant—coupled with the the strange rune pattern between his eyebrows, he gave others a devilish feeling.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, eight years had passed!
In this eight years, Bei Feng had accepted many missions by the Martial Practitioners Control Department. Every single mission had been on the level of a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert!
Seven years ago, he had been sent to Southeast Asia to kill a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert.
Six years ago, he’d killed a Controlled Dan Demonic Beast in Siberia which proclaimed itself the Wolf God!
Last year, on an abandoned island in the pacific ocean region, he’d clashed single-handedly against a thousand-man small-scale army, and killed two Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts!
His feats were shocking, causing Bei Feng’s fame to skyrocket, shining brightly in the sky like a blazing sun!
Although it was not as exaggerated as being known all over the world, most martial practitioners had more or less heard of Bei Feng’s achievements before!
Especially since Bei Feng’s methods were often very ruthless and merciless, causing others to be fearful of him.
Some of the more bored people had even seriously tallied up the score for Bei Feng. In this eight years, the number of people who’d died under Bei Feng’s hands were no less than 3,000!
This was an extremely terrifying number, especially in modern society where killing a single person was a heavy offense. To have 3,000 people’s blood on his hands, one could only imagine what a shocking statistic this was.
Within Blue Spirit Mountain, Bei Feng was siting with a scroll of Huangting Jing and reading quietly. Time did not seem to have left its traces on his face at all. [1]
Going by the traditional calendar, Bei Feng was already 36 years old. If he counted the three years he’d spent in the Myriad World, his age was even bigger.
But right now, his looks were actually maintained at the early 20s. A gentle breeze swept through Bei Feng’s long hair; the snowy white color of his hair had remained exactly the same.
Bei Feng’s aura had become extremely peaceful and calm, like the fluffy white clouds in the sky. The menace and ferocity he displayed when he fought could not be seen at all.
‘Eight years had gone by, and the influence of the evil source energy on me had become stronger and stronger.’
Bei Feng flicked his hand lightly, and the Huangting Jing disappeared.
The evil source energy had not been lax in its efforts to erode Bei Feng’s will. At times, he succumbed to it, and fell into a devil-like state.
This was especially so when he saw blood. A primal carnage desire would burst through his heart, and smash against his mind.
In the mission last year on the pacific island, every single one of the thousand soldiers on the island had been massacred by Bei Feng in his frenzied state.

Ai, luckily, I still have you. Otherwise, I’d have lost myself already long ago,
Bei Feng murmured as he looked at the Illumination God Tree in the medicinal patch.
In the middle of the spiritual land that had been formed by the stone statue’s remains was a crystal-colored one-meter-tall tree. Its bark was cracked and rugged, and its trunk was twisted, like a small dragon. The temperature around the tree was extremely high, and large amounts of light were being absorbed by it constantly.
A small fruit not even the size of a chicken egg hung on the top branch. It was shining brilliantly, giving off an endless amount of light like a mini-sun.
The time it took for the Illumination God Tree to form this fruit had far exceeded Bei Feng’s expectations. It only took a single year for the fruit to mature.
But the effect of this fruit was not as strong as what Bei Feng had imagined, even to the point of not deserving its ranking on the Myriad Heavens Spirit Herbs Ranking List.
Only after some time did Bei Feng finally realized that the fruit, although ripe, should not be picked immediately. The light energy would continue to accumulate, and the medicinal effect of the fruit would grow!
Furthermore, the light energy had a certain restrictive effect on the influence of the evil source energy. Just a single fruit would be able to restrain the evil source energy from breaking out for half a year!
More importantly, the Illumination God Tree could subtly change a person’s physique. After taking the fruit, a lot of impurities would be burned in the body so that the body be purer.
Bai Xiang walked over to Bei Feng and said,
Boss, the Martial Practitioners Control Department has sent news to make our way to the Imperial Capital. It’s not just us, all the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts will be going as well.

In those eight years, Bai Xiang had been consuming large amounts of high-grade Demonic Beast meat everyday. Right now, his strength had already risen to the Fake Dan realm!
Having reached the Fake Dan realm with both his physique and his Qi, there was a chance that he would break through to the Controlled Dan realm at any time.
With his current abilities as a dual cultivator, even a primary stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert might not be a match for Bai Xiang!

En, I understand. Let’s go and prepare.

Bei Feng nodded his head as an excited look flashed past his eyes.

Ok.

Bai Xiang turned and left.
‘Boss’s cultivation is becoming stronger and stronger. With my current strength, I can exchange blows with an early stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert without losing, but in front of boss, I can only feel a terrifying sense of danger from him.’
Bai Xiang shook his head with shock.

You’re here?
Bei Feng asked lightly without turning around.
Mystic One’s figure appeared in the room and replied in a light voice,
En, I’ve already broken through to the Controlled Dan realm.

Mystic One had matured into a great beauty with looks capable of toppling states and countries. She was dressed in a crimson dress, like eight years ago.

Since you’ve broken through to the Controlled Dan realm, the restriction from the Book of Spiritual Contract is already broken. You’re free now,
Bei Feng said with a sigh. With regards to Mystic One, Bei Feng was not sure what he felt about her. The memory of him retrieving a drop of blood from the then 11 or 12 year old girl resurfaced in his mind again.

It’s already been over 10 years, and I’m already used to this life. I’m not leaving; wherever you go, there I shall be,
Mystic One said beside Bei Feng silently, allowing the wind to tug at her hair.
If the people from the martial world could see Mystic One’s demeanor now, they would all be so shocked that their jaws would drop to the ground!
Mystic One’s fame had not been lacking in those few years as well. Her methods were even more ruthless than Bei Feng’s, sparing none!
Mystic One was known as the Crimson Fairy by some, and the Crimson Witch by others.

As you please.

Bei Feng could naturally understand the meaning in her words. He fell silent for a moment and nodded, not willing to continue the topic.
From the start, he should have had nothing to do with Mystic One after rescuing her. But who would have thought that the 11 or 12 year old girl would have such great courage.

Wu~ owner, I’m hungry!

A three-headed hound the size of a normal dog ran over from the garden. The leftmost head opened its mouth and, surprisingly, a stream of human language flowed from its mouth.
If anyone else saw this, they would definitely scream in fright, crying as they ran.
Heavens, the dog can speak! It’s a demon!

The Cerberus walked in with its butt swinging widely. The heads on the left and right looked at Bei Feng with expectations.

Little kids, go to the side and play.

Mystic One tapped Insatiable’s head with annoyance.
The Cerberus’s cultivation had also reached the Fake Dan realm already. It’d learnt to shrink its bones and could now modify its vocal cord structures to speak the human language.
The moment Insatiable and Black Hole learnt to talk, they’d been yapping in its cute voice unceasingly.
At the start, these two fellows would simply copy whatever others were saying and repeat it to them. Or when they were bored, they would go and eavesdrop on others talking.
