Chapter 153: Corpse Palace
On a full moon night at the southern frontier with the cold breeze blowing!
The night was pitch black with plumes of smoke scattering in the sky.
“Whoosh!”
Feng Feiyun was like a ghost as he soared through thirty-seven big streets and more than one hundred alleys before suddenly landing on a majestic city wall. He breathed out a few cold breaths of air and carefully turned around. After confirming that Xiao Nuolan did not chase after him, he finally became relieved.
That situation earlier was way too dangerous as he almost died at her hands.
This was the second time he managed to barely escape with his life from her grasp.
“Why did the Spirit Vessel suddenly rush into her body? What the hell is going on?” Feng Feiyun knew the value of the Spirit Vessel more than anyone else. At the very least, it was a Saint Treasure; even the Daomization Stone was not comparable to the Spirit Vessel.
Moreover, the Spirit Vessel had something to do with his big reincarnation secret, so he must take it back from Xiao Nuolan.
The Infinite Spirit Ring on Feng Feiyun’s thumb had calmed down. The six ancient diagrams once again turned into the six ancient engravings above the ring’s surface and maintained their flat and unimposing appearances.
“Something is not right!”
Feng Feiyun slightly channeled spirit energy into his fist and a mass of green corpse fire suddenly appeared. He unleashed it on the ancient wall, resulting in it being burned by the flames and emitting crackling sounds. In just a second, there was a two meter high hole with one meter of depth.
This was the wall of Fire Beacon City; it was engraved with countless formations. Even the First Dark Origin Flame would not be able to inflict such great damage.
‘What is going on with this corpse fire?’
Feng Feiyun was shocked. He didn’t care about anything else as he soared over the wall to leave Fire Beacon City. He then sat in the meditative pose on the ground with both hands placed on his dantian. He withdrew his focus into his body as he became lost inside his dantian.
The dantian was divided into the upper dantian, middle palace, and lower dantian.
Before reaching the Heaven’s Mandate realm, cultivators all trained their upper dantian. Only by breaking through the death gate of the Heaven’s Mandate realm would cultivators be able to break through the dantian sea to open the violet mansion inside the middle palace.
The upper dantian was also called the dantian sea. It was vast and endless; the Spirit Vessel originally floated above the dantian sea while the Dragon Horse River Diagram was floating above the boat.
However, once the Spirit Vessel disappeared, the diagram disappeared along with it.
There was only one “God Base” — around the size of a rice grain — suspending above the dantian sea, producing dazzling light that was filled with rich spirit energy.
No, something’s wrong!
Outside of the God Base, there was also a corpse palace — an exquisite palace made out of bones the size of hands.
This was the inner palace of a Corpse Evil; after completing the first Corpse Transformation, the body of a Corpse Evil would create one corpse palace.
A corpse palace was just like the dantian of a cultivator; it was the place where the origin spirit energy was stored. Once a corpse palace was taken out from a Corpse Evil, then this Corpse Evil would lose their spirit energy and turn into a true corpse, falling into eternal sleep.
This corpse palace had four gates, which meant that this Corpse Evil’s inner palace had undergone four transformations!
Feng Feiyun’s eyes suddenly opened and shot out two strange green lights, causing some creatures in the dark to issue hissing sounds as they ran away in fear.
“The Spirit Vessel and the Dragon Horse River Diagram flew into Xiao Nuolan’s body while her origin corpse palace went inside my dantian. What the hell is going on?”
Feng Feiyun’s expression rapidly changed. Sometimes he was lost in contemplation, sometimes hesitation, and sometimes he was relaxed…
Why did the treasures in their dantians suddenly change?
Feng Feiyun made the effort to recall what happened, but the only answer he was certain of was that it was not something deliberately done by Xiao Nuolan because the corpse palace was her origin. Only when it was inside her body would she be able to complete the fifth transformation to reach a higher plateau on the immortal road.
Could all of this be the doing of that Azure Bronze Spirit Vessel?
This Spirit Vessel was truly strange. Ever since Feng Feiyun met it back at the Yellow Spring Road, strange events happened one after another. An immemorial divine boat that was even bigger than a mountain actually went inside his dantian. What was inside the boat? Where did it come from? Why was it flying on the Yellow Spring Road?
Everything was a mystery!
Xiao Nuolan wanted to get back her origin corpse palace, and Feng Feiyun also wanted to get back his Spirit Vessel!
“Such a monstrous power!” Feng Feiyun could feel the evil corpse energy hidden inside the palace, especially its corpse flame. Earlier, Feng Feiyun only channeled a strand of its power yet it could burn a huge hole in the wall. If he mustered all of his strength, then he would be able to burn this hundred feet high wall into ashes.
