Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Jiang Feng had left the volcano, he headed towards an unknown direction.
When he was on his way, he opened his status panel and looked at it.

Every time he had evolved, his attributes had almost doubled. Now that he had obtained the Spiritual-Level Skywind Dragon’s Bloodline, and it had reached 100%, he only needed to consume one more Evolution pill to become a Rank 2 Skywind Dragon. This would change his form from a tiger into a Skywind Dragon.
Besides that, he had even obtained a new active skill, Tornado.
Tornado: Skywind Dragon’s Unique Skill.
After activation, a tornado will appear within 5 meters and pull an enemy into the air. It will cause 50% damage every second. This skill has a duration of 5 seconds, and a cooldown of 30 minutes.
After he evolved, he did not check his stats so he didn’t know about this skill. If he did and knew about it, he would have used the skill and it could easily kill a large number of players.
“Haha, I never thought that once my bloodline had reached 100%, the attributes that I have gotten from the evolution would be so high!”
Jiang Feng got excited as he looked at his stats.
It could be said that his current stats were only worthy of that of a true boss.
If the players wanted to kill him, they would not be his match one-on-one. They could only fight him alone when they were fully equipped with the best equipment and a powerful pet or fighting him using the human wave tactic.
Ding! System Prompt: Your hunger has fallen below 25%. Please rest and eat.
Once he had run for a while, the system’s voice rang in his ears.
All he could do then was to find a place and took out a roast chicken from his Spatial Bracelet.
As he ate, his Hunger rating had begun to slowly recover.
At this time, he looked at the map and checked his surroundings.
From the map, he was currently at a mountain range behind the volcano. It was mostly overgrown with grass. To the front was the territory of the Level 15 Black Panthers. The map did not show anything else beyond that and required players to explore it themselves.
After finishing his food and his hunger rating had reached 100%, he stood up and walked towards the Level 15 Black Panther’s territory.
Just as he had walked a few steps, he suddenly felt someone was watching him from behind. His body momentarily staggered, and he turned back and looked.
Whoosh!
The moment he turned, he saw a black shadow jumped into the nearby woods and ran away.
“Roar! Who is it?!”
The moment he saw that shadow, he followed it with a frown.
‘Was that shadow an NPC or a monster? Why was it following me?’ He guessed in his mind as he followed it.
As he went after the shadow and zoomed past the Black Panther’s territory, he followed it right into the place where it wasn’t explored in the map.
Ding! System Prompt. Congratulations, you have discovered ‘Level 20 Goldpattern Python’s territory.’ You had been awarded 1,000 experience points.
The moment he stepped into the area that was unexplored in the map, the system’s voice rang in his ear. And this place was no longer black on the map and had lightened up.
Once he was in the Goldpattern Python’s territory, the shadow stopped running away.
Only then had he discovered what the shadow was.
It was a humanoid wearing a black robe. But because it had its back facing him, he couldn’t tell if it was a he or a she. So he used Identify on it to see its stats.
Ya Di: Shifter Hierophant
Stats: ???
“Shifter Hierophant?”
Jiang Feng was distracted after seeing Ya Di’s stats, and then he roared at Ya Di. “Why did you follow me?”
“Follow me, I will bring you somewhere,” It did not turn, but only told him a sentence before continuing running towards the front.
‘Where is it bringing me?’ While Jiang Feng had questions, he still followed it.
Ya Di ran within the Goldpattern Python’s territory, but wherever it went the Goldpattern Pythons all lay on the ground as if they were being pious towards her.
Very quickly, they had arrived at a lake in the middle of the Goldpattern Python’s territory.
Ya Di jumped into the lake without hesitation. After thinking for a while as he stood next to the cliff, he then jumped into it as well.
The lake was very clear, and he could see the Goldpattern Pythons swimming within together with some Level 21 Piranhas.
Perhaps they were under Ya Di’s effect, these Goldpattern Pythons and Piranhas did not attack him. And he reached the bottom of the lake effortlessly.
Once he had reached the bottom of the lake, a Dragonhead Staff appeared within Ya Di’s hand.
It knocked at the bottom of the lake with its Dragonhead Staff, and the water began to swirl. Where it had knocked, the water began to split apart, forming a whirlpool.
Rumble!
Then, the ground at the center of the whirlpool cracked open, and a pathway had opened.
“Let’s go!”
Just as Jiang Feng was looking at this wondrous moment, Ya Di took his hand and walked further into the tunnel.
The moment that they entered the tunnel, the entrance closed and the lake returned to its original form.
It was pitch black within the tunnel, but Ya Di seemed to have some trick under her sleeves. The entire tunnel became bright the next second.
At the end of the tunnel was a secret room. Within the secret room was a Teleportation Circle.
He walked into the secret room and looked at the teleportation circle. Then he questioned Ya Di, “Why did you bring me here? Where does this Teleportation Circle lead to?”
Ya Di did not answer his question and removed the hood that covered its head.
A gorgeous face appeared in front of him.
Ya Di wasn’t tall, and stood only at a height of 1.3 meters and looked like a little girl. There were three strands of whiskers growing from her cheeks, and the shape of a bloom of seductive flame was tattooed on her forehead. Her very existence gave out an aura that suffocates.
“I am the Hierophant of the Shifters. But within two hours, I shall be no more. If you have any questions, ask me now. I will answer them all!” Ya Di exclaimed drearily, her eyes full of sorrow.
“Why did you bring me here?” asked Jiang Feng.
“To take back the Shifter’s Primordial Divine Artifact, the Donghuang Bell!” Ya Di answered earnestly
“One of the ten Primordial Divine Artifacts? That Donghuang Bell?!” said Jiang Feng shakenly.
“That is correct!” Ya Di nodded.
“I don’t understand.” Jiang Feng shook his head, unsure of what she truly meant.
He understood himself the best. With his current power, even if he knew where the Primordial Divine Artifacts were, it would be impossible for him to grab a Primordial Divine Artifact.
As for the Qiankun Gourd, it was all because of luck. It was by pure luck that he could enter that secret room. If not, he wouldn’t be able to claim it.
“The Heavenly Court was created by the Shifter Emperor Donghuang Taiyi. Once the humans had ascended to divinity, they had murdered the Shifter Emperor by allying themselves with the Infernals. Ever since the Shifter Emperor’s death, the intelligence of the commoners among the Shifters had lowered to the point where they eventually became mindless. Only some that became kings, or became Spiritual Beasts, Immortal Beasts, and Divine Beasts had their intelligence restored. But even if they had their own mind, they would eventually become the pets of the Divines and the Infernals. These commoners even become one of the ways to increase their power. The Shifters were now this world’s most worthless existence, and the only thing that can change the fate of the Shifters, the Primordial Divine Artifact Donghuang Bell is under the control of the Divines.”
“Ten thousand years ago, during The Great Divine-Infernal War, the Donghuang Bell had also been shattered. It had been sealed within the Imperial Dragon City by the Divine Emperor. The reason I came to look for you is that I hope that once I have destroyed the seal, you can take the fragment of the Donghuang Bell. Then, reform the Donghuang Bell, take command of the Shifters, and restore our glory!” Ya Di explained with rage and a trembling body as she thought back to the ten thousand years’ worth of pain that she had endured.
“Why did you choose me?” After a moment of silence, he asked Ya Di after she finished what she had to say.
