Chapter 177 : Guests from Underground
The Wanxiang Pagoda was located right under the vast and towering Mysterious Mountain that was between the boundary of the Grand Southern Prefecture and the Ancient Frontier Prefecture.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Wanxiang Pagoda was the number one sacred ground for learning. Mysterious grand masters, famed cultivators, kings of the younger generation... Everyone almost always chose to go to the pagoda.
Only by going through the pagoda would one be considered a qualified cultivator.
The Mysterious Mountain stretched for 370,000 miles, almost spanning across the entire Godly Jin Dynasty. There were mountains and valleys everywhere with many strange beasts and numerous spirit veins along with cultivation sects.
Outside of the Wanxiang Pagoda, the famed Dao Gate and Beast Master Camp were also within the Mysterious Mountain.
No less than one thousand other small sects congregated around this area. However, amidst the prosperity, one could also find widespread killings. After all, a sacred ground of the cultivation world was a very competitive place.
“Rumble!”
A bronze carriage rolled up a large amount of dust as it quickly headed north.
Feng Feiyun sat on the bronze carriage and put away his Eight Arts Volume as his eyes fell onto the two other treasures — the Boundary Spirit Stone and the Northern Profound Divine Art.
These two were top treasures of the cultivation worlds, but they were also items that could bring about death to their owner. ‘Just who was that person?’
Feng Feiyun’s brows couldn’t relax. Although he had many speculations in his mind, they were all rejected by him in the end. The key was that he couldn’t figure out the opponent’s goal.
Since this was the case, one might as well enjoy it. He had already offended the entire Grand Southern Prefecture so why should he be afraid of offending Young Noble Flawless and the Beiming Clan?
“Swoosh!”
Feng Feiyun took out the Boundary Spirit Stone and touched it with his finger. After going through a layer of faint, white light, his entire hand disappeared inside the stone.
The Boundary Spirit Stone was ranked 14th out of 18th, so it was much more magical than the True Mysterious Spirit Stone, the Five Grains Spirit Stone, and the Dan Spirit Stone. The inside of this stone was a storage space capable of storing valuables; there was enough room to hold half of a mountain!
And this was just the most common type of Boundary Spirit Stone. A few of the rarer Boundary Spirit Stones would have a storage space comparable to a small world. They could even absorb the essence of the heavens and the spirit of the earth in order to nurture strange creatures inside.
“Northern Profound Divine Art!” Feng Feiyun held this manual with some hesitation. His fingers were about to flip the page, but in the end, he decided against it.
Although this art was the supreme scripture of the Beiming Clan and was one of the top techniques in the cultivation world, it definitely couldn’t compare to the Immortal Phoenix Physique nor the Eight Arts Volume. If this was the case, was there really a need to look at it?
Cultivation was about quality, not quantity!
He put the scroll away into the Boundary Spirit Stone. Then, he strapped the stone to his waist and hid it with his robe sleeve.
From beginning to end, the Ji sisters were sitting to the side without saying a word while curiously gazing at Feng Feiyun.
Mao Wugui hunkered down on Ji Xiaonu’s shoulder. With its bean-sized eyes gazing at the Boundary Spirit Stone by Feng Feiyun’s waist, it kept on drooling continuously from his mouth. Just a bit more and it would have leapt to steal it.
At this time, Mao Wugui was very familiar with the sisters since they thought that this was a little turtle brought back by Feng Feiyun from the river. They were delighted and treated it as a pet, so they always had it with them.
“How are you guys?” Feng Feiyun lifted his head and was met by Ji Xiaonu’s big, round eyes.
Mao Wugui suddenly sucked in the dripping drool that almost hit Ji Xiaonu’s shoulder and immediately turned its head away.
Ji Xiaonu was also very blunt and asked Feng Feiyun: “If you killed Bu Tianya, then where is Ji Cangyue?”
This was a question she wanted to ask ten days ago, but the words wouldn’t come out.
When it came to Ji Cangyue, Feng Feiyun’s expression became a bit unnatural. He pretended to cough twice and replied: “She went back home already!”
“Went back home?” Ji Xiaonu did not believe him.
“Why did she go home?” Ji Xinnu was also skeptical.
Only Mao Wugui revealed a strange grin on its turtle face. It wanted to speak and reveal the truth to these two innocent girls, but Feng Feiyun was glaring at it so it had to lower its head.
