Chapter 662: Lord of Marsh's Promise



Chapter 662: Lord of Marsh's Promise

The murky swamp slid off the Lord of Marsh’s body like a waterfall.

Seeing this, Qin Feng was startled and quickly stepped back. He didn’t want to get soaked in the foul-smelling mud.

Suddenly, a faint blue light appeared from under the mud, becoming denser and denser like clear flowing water, emitting a bright light.

Qin Feng suddenly understood. The muddy sludge covering Lord of Marsh’s body was not his original appearance.

Just like the river spirit seen in Spirited Away in his previous life, this Lord Of Marsh might have been transformed beyond recognition under the influence of a curse.

And now that the curse had been lifted from him, Lord Of Marsh could naturally return to his true form.

‘Could his true form be that of a dragon?’ Qin Feng felt somewhat hopeful, his eyes gazing ahead without blinking.

This feeling of anticipation was like waiting for an ugly duckling to turn into a swan, a car to turn into a Gundam, or a cat to turn into a girl…

However, when the mud completely slid off and Lord Of Marsh’s true form was fully revealed in front of the three of them, Qin Feng couldn’t help but freeze, his heart filled with deep disappointment.

That damn thing’s just a giant toad, isn’t it? At most, it’s wearing a limited edition skin!

“Brother…” Qin An on the side opened his mouth, as if he wanted to vomit. 

Qin Feng immediately whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

I know what you are going to say. Even if it’s a toad, it’s a toad that can destroy heaven and earth. How can you casually criticize?

After a long time, Lord of Marsh looked at his own clean body with a satisfied expression in his eyes.

He looked down at Qin Feng and said lightly, “I didn’t expect that you, an ant, would actually be able to remove the curse from me. If you want something in return, go ahead and say it. I don’t like to owe favors to ants.”

Here it comes… Qin Feng took a deep breath and realized that things were indeed going as the white deer had said.

Without hesitation, he spoke up, “I earnestly request your assistance for the human race in this disaster!”

As his words fell, there was silence.

The toad made no promises and showed a complex expression.

Even though the beings in the transcendence realm didn’t belong to the tradition of literary saints, they could still perceive some vague fluctuations in fate.

The cause and effect of this catastrophe were immense, and he didn’t want to get involved, nor did he want to become a pawn in that damned white deer’s plan.

But now, he couldn’t help but return the favor…

Lord of Marsh narrowed his eyes and changed the subject, “The two people beside you have robust vitality and blood. They should be practicing the Divine Martial Tradition. Now that the Three Realms are closed, they cannot perceive the Ancient Divine Breath. I can give them this substance to help them cultivate. What do you think?”

As the Lord of the Marsh spoke, golden energy clusters manifested around him, revealing an astonishing amount of Ancient Divine Breath!

And if this Ancient Divine Breath were to be accumulated through the Heavenly Reflecting Stone, it would take an incredibly long time!

Qin Feng looked at his father beside him, his expression somewhat hesitant.

‘With such a large amount of Ancient Divine Breath, if it could help Father enter the transcendence realm, it would be an unparalleled power for the human race. And compared to that toad, Father is naturally more trustworthy.”

Just as Qin Feng was thinking this, he heard his father transmit a message, “Stepping into the transcendence realm from the second level isn’t just about resources, it’s more about destiny and understanding the laws of heaven and earth.”

“I know what you’re thinking. Even if I could absorb those Ancient Divine Breaths, it would still be difficult for me to reach the realm of transcendence.”

“In that case, it’s better to aim for that toad… er, I mean, the Marsh Lord’s power is the most reliable.”

“Father, you were going to say toad, right…” Qin Feng’s mouth twitched slightly, then he looked up and replied, “Thanks for your kindness, but it’s not necessary. I still hope that you can lend a hand to help the human race.”

After pondering for a moment, the Lord of the Marsh spoke again, “For you ants, understanding the laws of the Dao is as difficult as climbing into the sky.”

“Although I cannot directly help you understand the Dao, I can point you in the right direction.”

As he spoke, a pool about one meter square appeared in front of Qin Feng and the others, radiating a gentle light like flowing water.

Although they were not sure what it was, they all felt a strange fluctuation.

“I sense something related to the void within you. I think that this pool of evolution of void could be beneficial to you. What do you think about using this object to offset favors?”

Qin Feng pondered, ‘He is referring to the Eight Trigrams Jade on my body. As for this Void Technique… if I could comprehend it, it would indeed be a rare opportunity.’

However, in the end, Qin Feng refused.

It wasn’t because he wasn’t tempted, but because the other party kept changing the subject and wanted to use something else as compensation. Qin Feng sensed something unusual in this – perhaps the toad knew about the horrors of the disaster in the southern regions and didn’t want to get involved. It wanted to stay out of this mess!

And what kind of existence would scare even a creature from the Transcendence Realm?

Was it the Drum or the Candle Dragon, or perhaps both?

Regardless, the Lord of Marsh’s help was indispensable!

When he was repeatedly refused, the toad’s face darkened like the sky before a storm.

Feeling the gaze of the giant eyes upon him, Qin Feng’s heart trembled, but for the sake of the human race, he stood tall and resolute and said, “Please, Lord Of Marsh, lend your aid to the human race!”

Qin Feng met the Lord of Marsh’s gaze, and the pressure felt like a relentless tide surging toward him, but he stood his ground without faltering.

“Damned white deer!” the Lord of Marsh roared in anger, shaking the earth.

After a long time, he finally calmed down and raised his massive hand, dropping an object.

Qin Feng quickly reached out to catch it, and upon closer inspection, it looked like a frozen ice crystal, thin and delicate.

The sensation of touching it was like placing one’s hand in flowing stream water, cool and pleasant. It still reflected a faint blue glow, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary object.

It’s a treasure!

The Lord of the Marsh said, “This is my true manifestation of the Life Source, the skin I shed when I entered the second-level transcendence realm.”

Frog skin… Qin Feng’s lips twitched. He quickly stored the True Manifestation of Life Source in his spatial ring. He wanted to wipe his hands, but hesitated so as not to offend the creature.

Then the Lord of the Marsh spoke again, “By channeling your aura into it, I can sense it no matter where I am. With this item, I can help you once, remember, only once!”

After saying this, the emptiness around them began to swirl like water currents. The Lord of the Marsh leaped and disappeared into it.

Qin Feng and the others heaved a sigh of relief. The pressure of the Transcendence Realm was truly beyond imagination.

Father Qin solemnly said, “Judging from its reaction, this catastrophe in the Southern Domain is not trivial. If there were only the Garuda clan and those secret enemies, it would be impossible for them to reach the realm of transcendence. Your dream may indeed come true.”

Qin Feng exhaled lightly, “Regardless of that, at least we’ve now won his promise to intervene once. Besides, the mysterious white deer that I saw earlier seems to be on our side as well, standing with our human race.”

Qin An nodded slightly, then turned his head to the side to see Qin Feng’s right hand rubbing against his clothes. Curious, he asked, “Big Brother, what are you doing with your right hand?”

Qin Feng lightly coughed. “Your clothes looked dirty, so I thought I’d help you clean them. It looks much better now…”
