256: Conquering the Golden Eagle (Large Chapter)

It's estimated that the Golden Eagle had been holding back for too long.

After all, with its overly massive body, finding a suitable mate was extremely difficult.

Ordinary eagles and smaller raptors simply couldn't withstand its offensive.

So, when it discovered 'Eagle-chan,' whose size was more than double that of a normal eagle and thus a 'suitable mate,' it was incredibly excited.

Because of this, as soon as they met, it impatiently tried to force itself upon Eagle-chan.

However, it never expected Eagle-chan to be so fierce and powerful, far exceeding its imagination. In a moment of carelessness, it suffered a considerable loss itself, getting scratched badly.

But the stronger Eagle-chan was, the more excited it became, filled with an even greater desire to conquer.

"Screech! Screech!"

"Flap! Flap!"

One eagle and one Golden Eagle fiercely chased and tore at each other in mid-air.

However, the Golden Eagle was smarter this time, deliberately teasing Eagle-chan to exhaust its stamina.

Each time Eagle-chan angrily attacked it, it narrowly dodged.

And by the looks of it, it was very confident in its stamina.

"Screech!!"

After several consecutive attacks failed to achieve the desired effect, Eagle-chan became somewhat irritable and angry.

When Eagle-chan got angry, it seemed to activate some ability, and a faint, dark glow flashed across its jet-black body.

However, this glow was too subtle; if it were broad daylight, even Su Can might not have noticed it.

Screech!!

The next second, Eagle-chan's speed suddenly surged, its body performed a hard control, rising a meter higher to get on top of the Golden Eagle.

Then, its talons flashed with a faint, dark glow as it fiercely clawed at the Golden Eagle.

Flap!

Dark golden feathers flew, and from a distance, Su Can heard a ripping sound—the sound of talons tearing into flesh.

Screech!!

Sure enough, the Golden Eagle instantly cried out in pain, and was then stimulated by the pain into a rage.

Then Su Can noticed that the Golden Eagle also seemed to be stimulated, as a golden light flashed in its eyes, its body subtly expanded by a fraction, and it soared upwards with a whoosh, then sharply dived down, fiercely attacking Eagle-chan.

"It seems this Golden Eagle is not simple either!"

Su Can's eyes lit up, and he no longer hid.

He formed the Divine Travel Seal with his hand, took a step, and with a whoosh, appeared inside the small courtyard.

That terrifying, almost instantaneous movement speed startled Gu Qingfeng, who rubbed his eyes, looked at Su Can in the small courtyard, then turned back to look at the empty spot beside him.

"My goodness! I want to cultivate immortality!"

Gu Qingfeng was completely energized, his blood boiling.

Too fierce!

Too awesome!

Looking back at Su Can, once he was in the small courtyard, he waved his large hand, and a surge of true essence enveloped him, rocketing towards the sky like a meteor.

"Screech!"

Facing this sudden change, the Golden Eagle's eyes were filled with disbelief, and it couldn't help but let out a startled cry, stopping its movement with a whoosh.

Its body plummeted due to inertia, and its wings looked as if they were about to break.

But the next moment, it vigorously flapped its wings again, and with a whoosh, it turned and fled.

A human, able to fly into the air, is that still a human?

This had shattered its understanding, causing an inexplicable panic and trepidation, making it choose to escape immediately.

"Since you've come, don't leave."

A light chuckle echoed in the sky.

A stream of light flashed beneath Su Can's feet, and the magical artifact Heavenly Blade appeared, as large as a door panel.

Thunderclap Quaking Light Escape!!

Whoosh!

With a flash of escape light, Su Can, stepping on the Heavenly Blade, calmly appeared in front of the Golden Eagle.

The Golden Eagle shrieked in terror, turned its head and fled, flapping its wings fiercely.

But the next moment, an escape light flashed, and Su Can calmly blocked its path again.

"Screech!!"

The Golden Eagle let out a panicked cry, abruptly folded its wings, and tried to dive into the mountains below.

However, it quickly realized that no matter where it tried to go, Su Can would easily intercept it.

It was terrified!

The Golden Eagle was terrified.

But then, it erupted in fury, a thought of perishing together rising within it.

Screech!

It let out a fierce cry, charging towards Su Can as if resigned to death.

Since it couldn't escape, it would fight to the death!

"Quite a fierce temperament! Slow down, slow down!"

Su Can chuckled as he watched the Golden Eagle, which looked ready to fight him to the death. He clapped his hands together, forming several hand gestures slowly but quickly, and pointed at the Golden Eagle.

"Outer Binding Seal!"

It binds all living beings, all tangible forms!

Swish!

A golden light flashed, and the Golden Eagle's figure suddenly froze, followed by a layer of golden net appearing on its body, as if it had been electrocuted!

"Screech!!"

The Golden Eagle shrieked piteously, flapping its wings frantically, twisting the golden net wildly, but it simply couldn't break free.

"Don't struggle, it's all in vain."

Su Can smiled, waved his large hand, and a surge of true essence surged out to support the Golden Eagle's falling body. Then, he flickered, appearing before the Golden Eagle, a golden light emerging from his fingertip, which he pointed at its head.

Inner Binding Seal! Subdue all deluded thoughts of living beings, make them convert to my Buddha!!

As the Inner Binding Seal appeared, the Golden Eagle's violently struggling body instantly paused, as if a body-fixing spell had been cast upon it.

Its fierce, desperate eyes also momentarily showed confusion, and then its aggressive aura somewhat receded.

Soon, its eyes became clear, revealing a look of being enlightened.

Its gaze towards Su Can also began to become affectionate and docile.

Seeing this, Su Can pointed his finger, and the golden net dissipated.

The Golden Eagle immediately regained its freedom, let out a joyful cry, flew a circle around Su Can, and then affectionately flew towards Su Can.

Seeing this, Su Can's thoughts stirred, and the Heavenly Blade beneath his feet instantly enlarged, allowing the Golden Eagle to land on it.

Screech~

The Golden Eagle let out a happy cry, standing on the Heavenly Blade without fear, instead moving closer and affectionately rubbing against Su Can's clothes.

"Just… just like that! It's been subdued??!"

In the small pavilion, Gu Qingfeng stared dumbfounded at the Golden Eagle 'acting spoiled' with Su Can, feeling a sense of absurdity.

It was a Golden Eagle after all; it was subdued too easily, too simply, wasn't it?

Golden Eagle, where is your arrogance, where is your domineering defiance?

"Roar~"

A faint low growl came from outside, and Gu Qingfeng saw Tiger Da shake its head, walking back to its lair with a look of disinterest.

It had originally thought there would be a lively big battle, but it ended so hastily, which was boring.

Big Yellow also burrowed into its doghouse, yawning towards the sky, as if saying, 'Master has successfully subdued another fellow.'

"It seems there will be another companion from now on."

The monkey chirped twice, appearing somewhat excited.

Because the Golden Eagle was big enough, if it got along well with it in the future, maybe it could take it for a ride and experience the feeling of flying.

"Enlightenment!"

Looking at the extremely affectionate Golden Eagle, Su Can's fingertip glowed with golden light, and he performed an enlightenment on it.

A pure energy directly entered the Golden Eagle's body.

In an instant...

Its eyes were filled with surprise and joy, its body convulsed with a crackling sound, and its dark golden feathers shed sparsely, only to regrow into even more brilliant feathers.

At the same time, its body size also grew by another circle compared to before.

At this moment, it was only under the moonlight; if it were daytime, under the sun...

One could see that the Golden Eagle had become resplendent with golden light, its entire body appearing as if forged from gold.

Even its pupils had turned golden.

Only its talons remained dark golden.

But compared to before, they were also more metallic, with astonishing luster.

Even with unintentional movements, reflecting the moonlight, they instinctively gave people a sense of sharp keenness!

Screech!

A joyous cry came.

The Golden Eagle excitedly soared into the sky, its speed noticeably faster and more powerful, like a golden lightning bolt, piercing through the clouds.

The next moment, the clouds surged, and with a whoosh, they were torn apart.

The Golden Eagle's figure emerged from within, swooped down, and landed beside Su Can again.

"From now on, you'll be called Little Gold."

Su Can patted its head, and with a thought, he controlled the Heavenly Blade to descend into the courtyard.

The Golden Eagle let out a joyful cry, even intentionally glancing at Eagle-chan a few times.

"Slap!"

Su Can lightly slapped its head, chuckling in exasperation: "You rascal, don't show off. Eagle-chan is still raising her chicks right now; she's not in the mood for romance with you!"

"You also behave yourself, or else beware of a beating!"

After a brief scolding of Little Gold, seeing it nod obediently and whimper, Su Can finally felt relieved and returned to the pavilion.

"Alright, you can go back to sleep now."

Su Can casually dropped a sentence and went into his room, leaving Gu Qingfeng outside with a head full of thoughts.

Half an hour later, Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and returned to his room to sleep.

For him, today was another sleepless night.

Su Can lay on the bed, feeling slightly excited, also without any sleepiness.

So, he continued to pore over the various books obtained from the immortal cultivation cave.

Every cultivation technique and secret manual, every divine ability and spell, he carefully pondered and scrutinized, comparing them with the cultivation methods he practiced, mutually verifying them.

Just like that, without realizing it, dawn broke.

"It's dawn?"

Su Can came back to his senses with a hint of surprise, put down the book in his hand, and stretched slightly.

This night was long, but similarly, Su Can gained a lot.

Having read so many cultivation techniques, secret manuals, divine abilities, and spells, it was for him a repair for his lack of fundamental knowledge in cultivation.

For example, if Su Can's cultivation speed was too fast before, it was like building a tall building on flat ground, with a shallow foundation, and limited, superficial knowledge and methods.

Now, after a night of frantic and continuous learning and supplementation, his foundation was solid, and his understanding and knowledge of cultivation far exceeded what they were before.

The only thing Su Can currently lacked were the means and skills of cultivation.

"As a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, it seems a bit unreasonable not to have mastered even one divine ability."

Su Can got up from bed, stood in the pavilion looking at the rising sun in the east, and murmured, "It seems I need to truly cultivate a divine ability, otherwise I'd be unworthy of the Foundation Establishment title."

"Oh, right, after a night, I wonder what the goslings have become. I'll go see their changes first, and then consider which divine ability to cultivate first."

Su Can now had two divine abilities that he highly regarded, believing their power and potential to be immense.

At least at the level below immortals, they were definitely very powerful divine abilities.

These were the Profound Yin Earthly Fiend One Qi Great Capture and the Seven Emotions Floating Pagoda Hand. Both had their own merits and were top-tier divine abilities.

If it were in ancient times on Earth with spiritual energy, where material desires were low, the Profound Yin Earthly Fiend One Qi Great Capture would definitely be stronger than the Seven Emotions Floating Pagoda Hand.

But now on Earth, with spiritual energy depleted, and material desires rampant in cities, various seven emotions and six desires, and numerous negative emotions filling every corner, it was absolutely a top-tier dojo for the Seven Emotions Floating Pagoda Hand!!

Su Can was currently only considering which one to cultivate first, because he planned to cultivate both of these divine abilities.

After all, with the Drill Mountain Ironclad Centipede, it was extremely convenient for him to drill into the Earth Vein Fire Lung to absorb Profound Yin Earthly Fiend, various fire poisons, and malevolent qi.

While contemplating, Su Can had already arrived by the rice fields.

He first glanced at the rice fields; after another irrigation with spiritual water, the rice fields had grown another large section overnight.

Then, immediately after, he saw the goslings, and his expression couldn't help but freeze.

After a night of absorption and digestion, these goslings had unknowingly grown to the size of adult Geese.

In other words, from yesterday morning to night, in just one day and one night, their growth rate had maxed out.

"My goodness, Boss, these Geese have changed so much overnight, it's incredible."

Gu Qingfeng also came over, looking at the particularly prominent thirty-odd Geese, each almost adult-sized, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Not bad, it's progressing even more rapidly than I expected."

Su Can nodded, which indicated that his direction was correct.

"Oh, right, I researched all night yesterday and organized a cultivation technique."

Su Can suddenly looked at Gu Qingfeng, delivering news that made the latter incredibly excited.

"Boss, do you mean? This cultivation technique, I can also cultivate it?"

Gu Qingfeng's breathing became heavy after asking.

Su Can nodded and said, "That's right, you can cultivate, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is cut off. Although you've consumed spiritual water and have some accumulation in your body, it's still very little!"

"So, your cultivation will inevitably be very slow."

"It's okay, Boss, slow doesn't matter, as long as I can embark on cultivation!"

Before Su Can could finish speaking, Gu Qingfeng impatiently interrupted.

"Good, in that case, I will transmit it to you now."

Su Can said, extending his finger to point at Gu Qingfeng's glabella: "Guard your mind, do not resist."

Om!!!

As he spoke, Su Can's finger flashed with light and touched Gu Qingfeng's glabella.

Immediately, Gu Qingfeng's mind vibrated violently, and a surge of information merged into his sea of consciousness.

Ascension Art!

This Ascension Art was the cultivation technique Su Can created after a night of browsing and verifying various cultivation techniques, based on the Yuhua Flying Ascension Sutra, incorporating his own insights, and referencing the Gonggong Method.

However, this Ascension Art could only be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Limited by his cultivation level, Su Can could only create it to this height.

But that doesn't mean the Ascension Art is poor; on the contrary, this Ascension Art is not only not poor but also very powerful.

In the two stages from Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment Stage, it is definitely a very powerful cultivation technique!

After all, this Ascension Art borrowed and integrated two top-tier cultivation techniques from their respective fields: the Yuhua Flying Ascension Sutra and the Gonggong Method.
