Chapter 189: Once News Spread, Winds and Clouds Shook
Translator: E.3.3.Editor: Vermillion
The Hundred Thousand Mountains stretched beyond one's visual horizons, an unbroken continuous plain with layers upon layers of peaks and knolls.
Suddenly, amidst the mountainous range, there arose a thundering roar. A black dot flew from afar, and continually grew bigger as it charged forth.
It was a black falcon, impressively enormous, and the feathers on its body fluttered at god's speed, rattling and whistling. The falcon's eyes were incredibly sharp, emitting a radiance that sent chills down one's heart.
With a falcon's bellow that reverberated through the highest heavens, the Hundred Thousand Mountains rang with birds fluttering their wings.
On the back of the falcon sat a maiden dressed in a warrior's robe. The maiden's long hair formed a ponytail, making her look adept and unadorned. The maiden had fine, delicate features, she looked bashful and simultaneously adorable.
She carried a longbow behind her shoulder, and was seated on the falcon's back. Despite the fierce howl of wind, an invisible layer of barrier shielded her, and the maiden, utterly unperturbed, happily munched away at spirit fruits.
”Brother Diao, master told us to head to the Imperial City of the Light Wind Empire, take your time.” The maiden extended her pale, tender hand, gently patted the falcon's head, and muttered with a smile, after which she continued eating the spirit fruit in her hands.
The soaring falcon rolled its eyes in a rather humanly fashion and picked up its speed.
...
Mahayana Island was a piece of enormous island floating upon a vast stretch of ocean, within which countless high rising buildings erected.
In the center of a secret chamber within a nine-story-tall tower, the silhouette of a figure quietly sat cross-legged. His energy continued to float and sink, as if an odd wave circulated around him, a light golden true energy that encircled his body.
A golden relic rotated, within which echoed the singing of a sacred voice, giving one a sense of heavy peacefulness.
After a long time, the relic descended. It hovered above the person's hand, and was tucked away.
”The battle at the Gate of Heavenly Mistery nearly backset my cultivation level… the bitter hatred, this old fellow cannot just let it pass, Bu Fang… Fang Fang's Little Store, just you wait.”
The cross-legged person suddenly fluttered open his eyes, and a beam of gold light spilled out, illuminating the entire secret chamber.
Zhao Musheng's complexion were filled with awe, and he gradually pulled up his body. Suddenly, a knocking sound rang by the door.
Zhao Ruge gradually walked in with an air of deference. Seeing Zhao Musheng with his hands folded behind his back, he bent over in a bow.
”Ruge, what is it, is something big about to go down in the Imperial City?” Zhao Musheng noticed that the visitor was Zhao Ruge, and his face broke into a gentle smile as he inquired.
Zhao Ruge's complexion still displayed some excitement as he gazed toward his father, ”The Ghost Chef Wang Ding went to the Imperial City of the Light Wind Empire, and he even visited Bu Fang's little store.”
”Oh? Ghost Chef Wang Ding? Isn't he living in seclusion by Qingyang Town?” Zhang Musheng kept his countenance.
”That's right, the very Ghost Chef Wang Ding, known for having traversed the entire continent. Ji Chengxue welcomed him with a banquet, and a highly important piece of information… was disseminated.”
”Traversed the entire continent? Haha… this old man kept his thick skin as usual. Go ahead, what important piece of information?” The corners of Zhao Musheng's mouth curled, and he snickered with some disdain.
Zhao Ruge took a look at his father, and solemnly announced: ”The first place price at the Hundred Family Banquet was a seed of the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit Tree. And that seed in Bu Fang's little store… germinated.”
Boom!!
A mighty surge of force suddenly erupted from Zhao Musheng's body. Zhao Ruge, once hit by this terrifying force of energy, speedily took multiple steps back, and smashed into the walls of the secret chamber.
”What did you say? The Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit Tree? Is this piece of information true or false?!”
Zhao Musheng's pupils swelled as he was immensely anxious.
The Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit Tree, recorded within the Mahayana Island Buddhist collected works, was a miraculous spirit tree that could help a seventh grade Battle-Saint gain enough enlightenment to enter the echelon of eighth grade War-God.
But wasn't the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit Tree already extinct? Why would it appear… and especially in Fang Fang's Little Store?
”This message was spread from the palace. The Ghost Chef Wang Ding said so himself… it shouldn't be inaccurate.” Zhao Ruge rubbed his chest, alleviating the pent up sense of suffocation, and finally said.
