Chapter 647 - 262: Fortuitous Encounter: Blood Kunpeng Grass!
It can understand the airflow in that world because of its master, Xu Ran.
Soon after Xiaobai touched the Beast Hide, its entire body began to tremble, as if crushed by a gigantic mountain, bending continuously.
Xu Ran knew that Xiaobai’s consciousness had entered the Beast Hide, but the scene was different from his own experience before.
Immediately, it mobilized the Innate Qi within its body, infused with its understanding of the Wind Control Skill, and transmitted it to Xiaobai. Only then did it feel a warm sensation in that world, enabling it to escape smoothly, catch up with the Flood Dragon, and receive the legacy of the Wind Control Skill.
At the same time, Xiaobai also discovered a tremendous change in its own body, which was quite astonishing!
Unexpectedly, the enlightenment of the Wind Control Skill led to a larger transformation than the Divine Eagle Skill had, and while the Divine Eagle Skill only enlarged its body during the use of Divine Techniques, the Wind Control Skill directly doubled its size. Such a transformation was beyond the reach of the Divine Eagle Skill.
For Demon Beasts, whether birds of prey or terrestrial creatures, a larger body signifies greater strength. Now, with both the Divine Eagle Skill and Wind Control Skill, under the dual enhancement, its speed was as swift as lightning, and combined with its enormous size, a collision with an enemy would tear them apart, one layer of skin at a time, if not killing them outright!!

Night.
Xu Ran and Xiaobai returned to the Xu Family’s courtyard with dinner. As soon as they arrived, Xiaobai felt the astonished gazes of Xu Binghu and Lian Ji.
Had it not been following its master Xu Ran, it probably wouldn’t have allowed itself to return home?
"This is Xiaobai. Its cultivation has seen some breakthroughs; its appearance has changed a bit!" Xu Ran’s description was understated, as if everything was perfectly reasonable.
Even if it seemed unreasonable, there was no choice. Xiaobai had altered, and adaptation was necessary.
...
After the Xu Family had eaten their fill, Xu Ran sat cross-legged in the courtyard’s center, absorbing the moonlight, while Xu Binghu and Lian Ji went to tidy up. Usually, at this time, Xiaobai would return to its nest, lying comfortably.
But today, after comprehending the Wind Control Skill, its whole body seemed to have boundless energy and not the slightest bit of sleepiness.
Bored, it could only return to the Great Mountain, slaying Demon Beasts, exhausting the rest of its energy, and then going back to sleep.
"Pfft--"
Xiaobai pulled its sharp claws out of a Pig Demon’s body, blood splattering everywhere, deftly collecting the Beast Blood and Beast Bone, placing them in the small pouch hanging on its back.
This Pig Demon was the tenth Demon Beast it had slain today, each one killed with a single blow, with no chance to resist, but Xiaobai still felt full of energy.
After tidying up the Beast Blood and Beast Bone of this Pig Demon, it was just about to continue seeking prey.
"Woo--"
Suddenly, a mysterious whisper arose from the depths of the Great Mountain, hoarse, not belonging to any language, yet this whisper was incredibly enticing, like the murmurs of an Ancient God, drawing one in.
Immediately, Xiaobai’s curiosity was magnified infinitely, following the direction of these whispers without any hesitation.
Because it was nighttime, and since Xiaobai had been hunting in the Great Mountain earlier, the Demon Beasts here had long hidden away.
Before long, following the sounds, Xiaobai arrived in front of a mountain peak, the sounds emanating from within the peak. But in front of the peak, it was pitch-black, completely obscuring any view inside. Reason told it that the unknown places within the Great Mountain were too dangerous, possibly leading to a place like the bamboo forest’s Demon King’s lair, where entering might mean leaving no remains.
However, the increasingly close whispers in its ears directly suppressed its rationality, and Xiaobai quickly paced into the peak of darkness.
The moment it entered, upon seeing the scene before it, Xiaobai stood frozen, eyes full of shock.
It saw.
Inside the peak before it, there was endless radiance, brighter than the daytime sun, as if it stood near the sun itself, dazzling beyond measure. More strangely, this blinding light seemed to be trapped, as if confined within the peak, unable to radiate beyond at all.
Moreover, when Xiaobai entered this peak, the previously hoarse and obscure mutterings became clear, like a resounding bell, extraordinarily solemn, like an Ancient God singing by your ear.
Not only was the sound majestic, but even the scenery inside the peak was awe-inspiring.
All around Xiaobai, towering ancient trees, only barely encircled by dozens of people, rose from the ground. These trees were entirely gold, with golden runes flowing from the treetops down through their branches and leaves, into the roots, and leading to the mountain’s depths.
Passing these golden towering trees, in the mountain’s center, stood a Peach Giant Tree emitting a holy white light. This Peach Giant Tree was enormously thick, occupying half of the mountain, with roots nearly encircling by ten people, protruding robustly from the ground, with golden runes flowing through them, reaching towards the peaches above.
Above the peach tree, several peaches exuded a golden glow, dazzling. All the golden runes underground converged at these peaches, surrounded by layers of runes. To Xiaobai, these runes were incomprehensible, though it sensed extreme danger, and even the thought of plucking would instantly be extinguished by these runes.
