Prime Originator

Chapter 587 - Rank 1 Body Transformation

"Well then, Soft Feather, we will be in your care," Leon smiled at the Blue Luan.

After a short snort, Soft Feather asked with a grudging tone in the human tongue, "When are we heading out?"

"Very shortly. Just give me a moment, please."

After Leon requested, he made a loud whistle that echoed all the way to the Elder Tree. Shortly after, Silver's figure could be seen on the Great Wall before leaping over the wide rift to their side within moments.

"Awrooo!" Silver howled.

Leon quickly rubbed its big head before its tails could be seen wagging excitedly.

"So it seems you already have a ride… It appears that my arrangements were unnecessary." Bluewinter smiled wryly.

She was surprised to see a Transcendent-level silver wolf acting as Leon's pet, causing her impression of the human rise to a new peak.

"Not at all." Leon shook his head and said courteously, "Your sincerity is much appreciated, Monarch Bluewinter."

"That is relieving to hear. Well, I shan't keep you around further. Safe travels to you all, and please take care of my daughter. She might be a little rebellious, but she is a good child."

"You can rest assured, Monarch Bluewinter. We will ride her well." Leon reassured with a casual look before getting subtly nudged in the ribs by Aria, causing his expression to crumple slightly.

At the same time, Monarch Bluewinter also felt the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, but she retained a smile on her face.

Shortly after, Leon turned to Soft Feather, "If you will, Miss Soft Feather."

Soft Feather snorted and reach out with one of her large feathered wings, allowing Leon and the three ladies to walk on like a bridge before they made it onto her back.

"Until next time, Monarch Bluewinter," Leon bid his farewell to the Paragon-level Blue Luan as a form of respect.

Shortly after Bluewinter returned the gesture, Soft Feather took off from the ground and flew into the skies swiftly.

Swoosh~!

The Transcendent-level silver wolf quickly followed from the ground as Lilith directed Soft Feather towards her clan.

Within several dozen breaths, the group was gone from sight, and Silver's trail was nowhere to be seen as it kept up with Soft Feather's pace without a problem.

"Why did you send the little princess off to be their mounts, Monarch Bluewinter? Is it worth it to be lowering our pride to a mere human?" A High Rank 2 Blue Luan raised a question with doubt.

Bluewinter continued to gaze into the western horizon with a deep look.

Sometime later, she shook her head and said with a sigh, "If all humans were half as capable as that person, the human race would have dominated the entire continent long ago…"

"How capable is that human exactly, Monarch Bluewinter?" The High Rank 2 Transcendent Blue Luan was filled with questions, but his monarch did not elaborate.

Instead, she instructed with an indifferent tone, "Watch over the tribe, and help out the humans if they are trouble for me, Cold Talon. I am going into secluded cultivation."

"As you wish, Monarch Bluewinter."

Shortly after, the surrounding temperature dropped, and frosty mist filled the surrounding, forming an ice barrier that enclosed the large body of the Paragon-level Blue Luan, Bluewinter within.

…

On Soft Feather's back, Lilith could not help but ask Leon with curiosity, "What kind of technique did you transmit to that Blue Luan Paragon, Leon?"

"You really want to know?" Leon responded with a casual glance.

After Lilith nodded vigorously with enthusiasm, Duna and Aria also showed subtle signs of interest despite feigning an aloof and unconcerned look.

Nevertheless, Leon noticed the subtle signs before he smiled with interest.

"What I taught Monarch Bluewinter is…"

Duna and Aria immediately quietly perked their ears alongside Lilith as they inched slightly closer before Leon said with a slight chuckle, "…a secret."

The three ladies' expressions darkened immediately.

Before they could raise their voices with a complaint, Leon said to Lilith with a severe look, "Continue to direct Soft Feather in the right direction, Lilith."

"Am I not already doing that?" Lilith pouted slightly.

Nevertheless, she was grateful to have such a strong lineup accompanying her to her home. Everyone was at least at the Transcendent level besides her.

"We don't know what sort of danger is awaiting us, so we should take this chance to raise our strength quickly before we reach the Desolate Crow Clan," Leon stated before he closed his eyes and commenced cultivating straight away.

"How much strength can you raise in such a short time? Isn't it just a nearby Mid-rank tribe? With my speed, we will reach there in no t—" Soft Feather was quick to retort his words.

But before she could finish speaking, she immediately paused with a startled look. What is happening on her back? Why did the human's aura suddenly grow stronger all of a sudden?

Rumble…

A soft grey glow encompassed Leon's entire body as his aura grew stronger from another breakthrough in his strength.

After dividing his mind to multitask and simultaneously tempering his flesh, forging his bones, and consolidating his viscera with True Grandmist Energy, his strength was quickly raised to 700-thousand jins without obstacles.

Rumble…

Leon's aura surged again, and his strength was raised to 800-thousands jins.

Aria was startled, but Lilith was shocked beyond disbelief as she could not fathom nor understand how Leon's strength could increase so rapidly in a short time.

Even though Leon made it seemed easy, he was, in fact, enduring three times the usual pain by cultivating three different phases simultaneously.

Within moments, his pores oozed with sweats, soaking his body and highlighting his well-defined muscles.

Lilith gazed at Leon's bulging arms and sense a terrifying force hidden within. It quickly grabbed her attention and filled her with a strong sense of curiosity, urging her to inspect his arms.

Her hand subconsciously reached out before she froze under Aria's narrowed gaze, forcing her to retract her hand awkwardly with a wry and embarrassed smile.

A white cloth flashed into Aria's hand before she diligently wiped Leon's sweats like a caring wife.

Meanwhile, Duna did not pay any attention like Aria and Lilith did.

After she sensed Leon's swift growth in strength, she quickly closed her eyes and focused on progressing her Devil Spirit Body to the next step with the True Grandmist Energy stored inside her body.

Swoosh~!

Within moments, Duna also seemed to have made a breakthrough as her body sank slightly with increasing mass.

Each time Leon advanced his strength by a significant step, his body also increases in weight accordingly.

'Dammit, what the hell is going back there? How can these two people cultivate so quickly?' Soft Feather's curiosity reached an all-time high like an itch that cannot be scratched.

Within a few breaths, she finally caved in on her desire and craned her neck back to see what was happening behind.

The Blue Luan's flat back suddenly tilted to the left on a slope, causing everyone to nearly fall off from Soft Feather's back.

Soft Feather was startled before she quickly steered back.

Even so, Lilith was given the scare of her life. She was the sole person within the group that could not fly.

"Hey, watch how you are flying!" Lilith cried while gripping firmly onto Soft Feather's feathers.

"Hmph!" Soft Feather snorted slightly and said, "If you don't like how I fly, you are free to walk on your own, human!"

"I'm not a human! I'm a beastkin that is part bird and human!" Lilith retorted.

"Ptui!" Soft Feather spat like she had heard the most ridiculous thing ever and coldly said, "Are you mocking my intelligence, human? If you are part bird, then what am I? Part human? How preposterous."

Sensing the disdain in Soft Feather's words, Lilith quickly frowned with displeasure.

"I wasn't mocking your intelligence, but I might as well be now. Because you are stupid," Lilith insulted before she blatantly undressed her top and spread out her single black feathered wing, "Take a good look, idiot."

Leon opened his eyes briefly and almost had a nosebleed before he quickly closed his eyes again, unwilling to partake in the catfight between Lilith and Soft Feather.

'Or should it be called bird fight?' Leon thought with amusement.

At the same time, Soft Feather took a quick glance back before she was surprised that she had misjudged the person.

Even so, she was unwilling to admit her mistake.

"Ha, bird-kin that cannot fly. Who's the real idiot now?" Soft Feather spoke sarcastically. But after she finished speaking, she immediately regretted it.

Lilith's eyes dulled with a sad look. After retracting her wings and dressing, she sat back down in silence.

Rumble…

Leon made another two advancements and reached 1-million jins of strength in flesh, bone, and viscera before willingly opening his eyes.

With the benefits of True Grandmist Energy, he had quickly achieved Rank 1 Body Transformation Realm, the equivalence of Rank 2 Transcendent, in Primordial Body Cultivation.

If the Body Cultivators of the Burning Heaven Sect, who were still struggling to achieve Rank 1 Transcendent with a meager strength of 100-thousand jin, learned of Leon's swift improvement, they would probably puke blood from grievance.

Shortly after, Leon threw Lilith a glance before he quickly reprimanded Soft Feather, "That was not a nice thing to say, Soft Feather. You should apologize to Lilith,"

"I… I…" Soft Feather stuttered while feeling aggrieved.

She was already letting them ride on her back, yet they were even demanding her apology. Isn't this too much bullying?!

"Well, I won't force you if you don't want to… Just know that what you said is wrong," Leon lectured with a calm look.
