When Xiao Feng's figure reappeared in the valley, the Mountain Ape was on the verge of a breakdown.
"I finally found a successor, and I thought I had lost him!"
The Mountain Ape shouted outside the valley, "That guy didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Xiao Feng looked strange. He had been deceived by the Mountain Ape's words before, and now looking at it again, he felt there were so many things to complain about that he didn't know where to start.
He walked out of the valley and suddenly turned back to bow respectfully three times toward the valley. Regardless of anything else, this Legacy was gifted to him by that Old Senior whose name he didn't even know. Whether it was the ancient Cultivation Technique, the Soul Cultivation method, or the Soul Skill, any one of these thrown out would make the entire Fighting Qi Continent go crazy, and even the seven clans would fight over them!
That old man deserved respect.
And when he completed the Fusion of that Legacy, the space in that Void Realm collapsed, and this valley turned into an ordinary little valley.

"I am not the successor you think I am," Xiao Feng said.
"How is that possible? You are!" the Mountain Ape retorted.
"Did you swallow a ball of white stuff?" Xiao Feng looked at the Mountain Ape.
"Eh? How did you know?" The Mountain Ape was slightly surprised.
Xiao Feng spread his hands, "The Legacy has already been eaten by you, so you are the successor yourself."
The Mountain Ape realized belatedly, and its words were very anxious, "That won't do! How can I be the successor!"
It started digging into its mouth, trying to spit that thing out.
Xiao Feng hurriedly stopped it.
"Stop messing around. Do you know why people told you to get lost as soon as you approached this valley?"
"Why?"
"You ate the Legacy left behind by their Senior Brother, who wouldn't be angry?" Xiao Feng chuckled, "That kind of thing has already merged into your mind. Try to understand it; perhaps that is how the Battle Ape appeared."
The Mountain Ape hesitated, "But we Demonic Beasts can't Cultivate the Cultivation Technique of the Human Race at all!"
Xiao Feng rolled his eyes. To put it bluntly, this guy still wanted to pester him, though it was hard to say what its true intentions were.
"You, a Fourth-Tiered Demonic Beast, commanding a group of Fifth-Tiered Magical Beasts like subordinates—do I need to expose whether you can Cultivate or not?" Xiao Feng waved his hand, "Go wherever you need to go, don't follow me."
The Mountain Ape shook its head, "That won't do. The Legacy said that people like you have great fortune, so I must stick with you."
"Is that so?" Xiao Feng laughed, "Alright then, let's set off."
"Where to?" The Mountain Ape sized up Xiao Feng, always feeling that this kid had bad intentions.
"If you don't want to follow, then forget it," Xiao Feng said indifferently.
The two traveled far. With an uneasy heart, the Mountain Ape followed Xiao Feng to...
"Holy crap! This is the territory of the Amethyst Winged Lion King!" The Mountain Ape roared in a suppressed voice.
It did not know that Xiao Feng had already used his Soul Power to transmit sound, "I, the Mountain Ape, have long found you, Amethyst Winged Lion King, unpleasant. Today I'm here to help you catch some fleas!"
"Roar!"
The valley shook, white clouds scattered, and a huge figure appeared in mid-air. Its seven or eight-meter-long body was covered with a layer of purple crystals. Sunlight shone on it, radiating brilliance, which was quite dazzling.
"So this is the Amethyst Winged Lion King..." Xiao Feng muttered.
It had a ferocious lion head, beast eyes that flashed with a strange purple light within the blood-red color, and a huge mouth full of fangs. Above the lion head, there was a spiral horn that was fiery red, with clusters of purple flames circling and swirling on the tip of the horn.
On both sides, there was a pair of purple wings. As they flapped, clusters of light purple flames swept across the surroundings like a deluge.
The four sturdy claws were also wrapped in a layer of purple crystals. Every time it stepped down, the Void Realm would tremble, and it was hard to imagine just how immense its power was.
As the beast eyes looked down, the two figures of the human and the beast were reflected in them. The Amethyst Winged Lion King ignored Xiao Feng's existence at first, looked in the direction of the Mountain Ape, and a human voice came from its giant mouth, cold and indifferent, "Little thing, are you here to seek death again?"
The Mountain Ape was stunned, thinking that Xiao Feng had provoked it before, so it couldn't help but look back to its side. Where was Xiao Feng's figure?
"Holy crap! Lion King, let me explain!"
"Hmm, go ahead and speak. I have plenty of time, I can listen slowly!"
...
Xiao Feng, having shaken off the Mountain Ape, looked refreshed and ran away wildly.
"It seems I need to find a place to go into seclusion again."
He had gained a lot in the valley, which even shattered and recast Xiao Feng's worldview. He needed time to sort it out properly.
He suddenly thought of that Fifth-Tiered Great Eagle. As a rare flying Demonic Beast, if it could be subdued, it would be great for traveling, searching for people, and as a mount.
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng changed his route and went directly to the large mountain where the Great Eagle lived.
This was one of the few high peaks in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, with its peak piercing into the clouds, invisible to the end; one could only see layers of white clouds floating at the waist of the mountain.
"I don't know how long the Amethyst Winged Lion King can keep the Mountain Ape. I must hurry."
On the mountain peak, the huge gray eagle was nesting in the cave. The wound on its beak had improved a little, but a greater crisis had not been resolved: its Fifth-Tiered strength was crumbling.
It didn't understand why this was happening. Every time it recalled the scene that day, it would be filled with extreme fear, and that face it had only seen once was carved into its heart.
Suddenly, it tilted its head; something seemed to be approaching.
This feeling was very unclear. After sensing it carefully, it felt like the wind blowing past, and nothing was approaching.
However, to be careful, it decided to go out and investigate.
Just as its body poked out halfway, the Great Eagle froze on the spot.
It saw the figure it had been longing for day and night. Its pupils were trembling, and phantom pains appeared again at its beak.
That... devil, why would he appear here? Wasn't he dead? Was he coming to kill me?
"Screech!"
The Great Eagle, terrified to the extreme, let out an angry cry and spread its wings, preparing to kill Xiao Feng.
"Wait, I'm not here to fight you!"
A gentle voice suddenly rang in the gray Great Eagle's mind, and combined with the smiling person in front of it, it hesitated.
"You... are talking to me?"
"Don't be surprised, it is I who am talking to you." Xiao Feng's lips didn't move, and the voice went directly into the Great Eagle's mind, "I came here this time with good intentions."
"What do you want from me?" The Great Eagle's eyes were vigilant, and it moved slowly toward the outside, ensuring it could take off into the sky.
Xiao Feng took two more steps back, "Regarding the previous matter, neither you nor I were happy, but I received some compensation. I think this is unfair to you."
"Heh, fair?" The Great Eagle sneered, "Fairness is not discussed in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
"But I discuss it." Xiao Feng's expression was sincere, "So I want to take you away, leave this area. There is a wider world outside."
"Stop, stop!" The Great Eagle shook its head, "I am fine here and don't intend to leave. You are only looking for me to find a transport tool, right?"
Xiao Feng also shook his head, "You are wrong. If I wanted to find a flying Demonic Beast, I wouldn't need to come find you. I just think that as an Eagle race, you shouldn't be trapped in this mountain range. Your stage should be the endless sky."
The Great Eagle sneered again, "Tell me, what benefits do I have?"
"Do you want to surpass the Fifth Level? Even have the Amethyst Winged Lion King grovel before you?"
"Everyone can brag. If you can't come up with anything else, then leave."
Xiao Feng laughed; it really was an eagle that wouldn't scatter the eagle until it saw the rabbit.
"You Demonic Beasts may have your own cultivation methods, but those are just instincts. I can help you plan a better way." Xiao Feng stared into its eyes, "Of course, these might be dispensable to you, but what if I can help you improve your Soul Power?"
"Impossible!" The Great Eagle stared straight at Xiao Feng, its sharp eyes seeming to want to dissect him.
Soul Power is almost equivalent to the upper limit of a Demonic Beast.
An ordinary mountain rat, no matter how hard it tries, can only Cultivate to the First Tier, even if a young lion beast can easily bite their race's strongest to death.
This is an immutable theorem among Demonic Beasts.
Of course, this mountain rat might break through to the Second or Third Tier by swallowing herbs, but it is more likely to die on the spot because it cannot bear the medicinal power. Only by possessing a tough Soul far beyond its peers can it possibly break through this natural chasm. But a mountain rat with this kind of Soul Power is no longer an ordinary mountain rat; its upper limit has been raised.
The Great Eagle's sharp claws gripped the mountain rock, its Aura somewhat chaotic, and it repeated "This is impossible," but its eyes were expectant, expecting Xiao Feng to refute it.
Xiao Feng grinned, "Don't be afraid."
After speaking, a terrifying Aura rose from him. The Great Eagle was full of fear in its eyes, as if it saw the Aura of the person in front of it rising continuously, as if covering the sky and the earth.
At this moment, Xiao Feng, who was operating his secret technique, felt the existence of Spiritual Qi. The huge figure behind him reached out and pulled, and a mass of inexplicable and invisible substance appeared in his hand, and then he pushed it onto the Great Eagle.
The gray eagle's eyes became brighter and brighter; it felt that its Soul Power had really improved!
"Are you willing to come with me?" Xiao Feng asked.
The gray Great Eagle lowered its head and said seriously, "You will be my master for life."
After saying this, a faint mark appeared in front of its head, "This is the contract between my race and the Human Race. As long as we drip blood, even if you are far away at the edge of the sky, I can sense your call."
"Good."
Xiao Feng took out a dagger to cut his finger.
Clang!
A white mark appeared, and the dagger was bounced away.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Xiao Feng put his finger into his mouth, bit his finger, and dripped blood.
An imperceptible and unfathomable feeling emerged in his heart, like an invisible line, one tied to himself, and one tied to the gray Great Eagle.
"By the way, are you male or female?"
"Hmm? Our Eagle race talks about male and female, right?"
...
Xiao Feng did not rush to leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but went all the way east, toward Qingshan Town.
He remembered there was a waterfall there...
The Great Eagle soared into the sky, its sharp eyes constantly scanning every inch of the ground beneath it. After about three hours, it suddenly folded its wings and swooped down, pressing its body low.
Boom boom boom...
Endless flowing water leaped down from the cliff, carrying a majestic Aura, drawing an arc in mid-air, spanning a drop of over a hundred meters, and slamming heavily into the pool below. White waves splashed more than ten meters high, making a huge sound that echoed in all directions.
Xiao Feng looked at the scene in front of him and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"During this time, you just wait for me nearby."
Letting the Great Eagle go have fun, he neatly stripped himself clean and then walked under the waterfall.
Like a ten-thousand-ton boulder constantly bombarding his body, even with his current Physical Body, it was difficult to move freely.
Letting the water flow hit him, Xiao Feng did not blink his eyes. He did not stop, but began to climb upward against the water flow toward the top of the waterfall!
If there was Fighting Qi to help, this matter might not be very difficult, but relying only on the strength of the Physical Body was indeed a huge challenge for Xiao Feng at present.
For the next month, Xiao Feng stayed here.
One day two months later, Xiao Feng stood at the starting position of the waterfall and cut the rope tied to his waist.
Boom!
With a loud noise, a stone weighing more than a ton fell into the deep pool.
"It's time to go to the next place."
Xiao Feng looked into the distance, his eyes somewhat eager.
...
Passing through Qingshan Town, Xiao Feng spent three days purchasing items, filling his storage ring again before setting off again.
Sitting on the Great Eagle's wide back, the mountains quickly receded under his feet.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Go east! The Tagor Desert."
"What are you doing in that kind of place?"
The Great Eagle did not like that kind of place.
"Little Gray Gray, do you know the difference between the strong and the weak?"
The Great Eagle stopped talking. During this time, Xiao Feng would always feed it poisonous chicken soup, and it really couldn't drink it anymore.
But the Great Eagle's silence could not bring Xiao Feng quietness. He said earnestly, "The weak can only see their own strengths, while the strong dare to face their own weaknesses and use adversity to temper them!"
"Master."
"Hmm?"
"Do you want to own a running chicken that looks like an eagle?"
