I Cultivate Passively Chapter 68 - Master Hunter!

Chapter 68: Master Hunter!

“It’s about time!” Zhou Feng said softly to the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body.

From the beginning, the Demon-Devouring Gu had already absorbed an unknown amount of Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi.

In short, the Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi that he had pa.s.sively digested using Gluttony had all gone into the Demon-Devouring Gu’s stomach.

Unfortunately, he had yet to break through to the Soul Altar realm.

If he broke through to the Soul Altar realm, he would be able to turn the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body into his Vital Gu.

By then, it would be much easier to communicate, and he would even be able to command the Demon-Devouring Gu. He would not have to beg the Demon-Devouring Gu to work like he was doing now.

The Demon-Devouring Gu in his body also responded.

Suddenly, Zhou Feng’s chest seemed to have been struck by a heavy hammer, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was so sudden, he was shocked.

Then, he noticed the Heart-Linking Gu along with the mouthful of blood on the ground.

“This is… the Heart-Linking Gu? It’s out!?”

After seeing the expelled Heart-Linking Gu, he finally could not hold it in any longer.

His essence, energy, and spirit seemed to have been sucked dry in an instant, and his entire body went limp on the ground.

In this kind of life-and-death situation, the pressure was really too great.

However, he didn’t expect that the Demon-Devouring Gu could actually help him resolve the Heart-Linking Gu’s threat!

Jiang Jing was already dead! And now the Heart-Linking Gu’s threat was also gone!

Didn’t this mean that there was nothing that could restrain him now?

Zhou Feng could choose not to return to the Tri-Gu Sect and become a vagabond cultivator. However, the price was that he couldn’t stay here. At least, he had to stay far away from the Tri-Gu Sect’s territory.

After all, the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body had not truly recognized him as its master. If he met someone from the Tri-Gu Sect, there would still be a certain degree of danger.

If he stayed far away from here, perhaps he could live quietly until he died of old age?

‘Live until I die of old age? Impossible!’

Naturally, Zhou Feng did not want to choose this path.

Escaping like this was too cowardly. He still wanted to break through to the Soul Altar realm and live forever!

After transmigrating to this world, he did not have any family or friends.

Rather than living a cowardly life alone, it would be better to pursue the legendary immortality.

‘I have to return to the Tri-Gu Sect! Only the Tri-Gu Sect have the cultivation resources and techniques that I need!’

For Zhou Feng, only the Tri-Gu Sect could allow him to obtain sufficient cultivation resources and techniques. If he wanted to break through to the Soul Altar realm or beyond, he would have to rely on the Tri-Gu Sect.

In the end, being attached to a sect was much more efficient than cultivating alone.

But the current problem was, how could he go back?

The outside should be filled with people from the White Bone Temple and the Penta-Ghost Sect. It was natural for him to beat anyone in the Qi Condensation realm given his strength.

However, he would be in big trouble if he encountered a Soul Altar cultivator.

‘Wait! I should be able to draw out a pa.s.sive skill right now!’

If he was in a dilemma, he would first draw out the pa.s.sive.

Zhou Feng immediately looked at the skill panel and found that the progress bar had already exceeded half.

Then, he took out all the Spirit Stones and began to absorb the Spiritual Qi to speed up the progress bar.

Although he was currently unable to increase his strength much by absorbing the Spiritual Qi, it would be worth it as long as he could increase the progress bar’s speed.

Now that Zhou Feng’s Spiritual Qi had reached its limit, it would be difficult to break through the upper limit no matter how he absorbed the Spiritual Qi and swallowed the pills.

In other words, his current strength had completely reached the upper limit.

There was almost no other way to increase his strength.

Not long after, the Spirit Stones that he had obtained from Jiang Jing and the Yun brothers were instantly sucked dry.

At the same time, more than half of his injuries had recovered.

Just now, in order to expel the Heart-Linking Gu, his chest had suffered a serious injury, and his meridians were severely damaged.

However, it didn’t take much time for these injuries to heal with the cooperation of the Unyielding Heart and the Self-Healing Const.i.tution.

“Finally full! Draw!”

Zhou Feng immediately drew a new pa.s.sive skill upon seeing that the progress bar was finally full.

Now, only new pa.s.sive skills could increase his strength.

“Drawing…”

Master Hunter: You will obtain a hunting mark for every lifeform you hunt.

Each hunting mark can be stacked and increase your perception by a little.

‘Master Hunter? Perception?’

‘Is this a pa.s.sive that needs to be slowly stacked?’

When Zhou Feng saw this new pa.s.sive skill’s description, it was hard for him to judge whether it was strong or not.

First of all, this pa.s.sive was a developmental-type skill that could be continuously stacked. There weren’t many layers of restrictions, so theoretically, it should be able to be stacked infinitely.

Secondly, what was the use of this ‘perception’? To be able to sense the enemy more easily?

According to his understanding, this pa.s.sive skill should be mainly meant for support.

‘Every lifeform…’

Zhou Feng happened to see an ant at this time and then casually slapped it!

The ant was instantly killed.

Then, a message appeared on the skill panel.

“New species successfully killed! +1 hunting mark!”

‘This!? It was effective? An ant was able to grant me one hunting mark!?’

Zhou Feng did not feel any clear changes because of this hunting mark.

Was it just that his intuition was a little sharper?

He was not sure, but what if he stacked a few more hunting marks?

There were thousands of lifeforms in this world, so didn’t this mean that he could stack numerous hunting marks?

‘Why don’t I stack hunting marks first? Then I’ll look for an opportunity to return to the Tri-Gu Sect!’

Zhou Feng had a goal now.

Since this new pa.s.sive skill could be stacked continuously, then he would do so first. Then, he would secretly inquire about the Tri-Gu Sect.

It was decided!

…

On the other side, the White Bone Temple and the Penta-Ghost Sect people had already begun to search for Zhou Feng and Jiang Jing.

“I didn’t expect that he would actually escape! The power of the Blood Mosquito Gu’s self-detonation was astonis.h.i.+ng!”

“It’s fine! Jiang Jing won’t be able to escape this area! We will find him sooner or later!”

“Right now, the only thing I’m worried about is that the Tri-Gu Sect will dispatch that crazy fellow when they realize something is wrong!”

“Yeah! That crazy fellow…”

“We can drag it out as long as we can! We can use the moment when the Tri-Gu Sect is fighting among themselves…”

The ones conversing were the two Soul Altar cultivators.

At present, these two had sealed off the area within 100 kilometers. They wanted to find Jiang Jing, who had escaped so that the Tri-Gu Sect wouldn’t notice anything strange.

Unfortunately, the Tri-Gu Sect had indeed sensed something was wrong. After all, how many Soul Altar cultivators had already died? It would be strange if they still hadn’t sensed something was wrong.

The problem was that the Tri-Gu Sect sensed that something was wrong and didn’t react immediately.

This was because the Tri-Gu Sect was extremely discordant. It could be seen from the fact that the Bloodthirsty faction and the Penta-Poison faction lived separately.

As for the third faction, the compet.i.tion between the different mountain peaks was also very great.

Now, the White Bone Temple and the Penta-Ghost Sect used this point to deplete a lot of the Tri-Gu Sect’s vitality.
