Chapter 283: Recapturing The Spirit Vessel
Forty divine intents hovered in his mind in the Minor Change arrangement, just like the altar. They resembled forty exceptionally dazzling stars.
What was this realm? Feng Feiyun couldn’t give an answer because he had never encountered such a situation before. No creature in this world could cultivate forty divine intents either.
A human had ten, phoenixes had thirty, and true dragons had thirty-three.
“Grand achievement with nine opened meridians… The other 351 will require some time through cultivation.
“The hardest part for cultivation is getting to the door. The Spirit Realm is the first, followed by Immortal Foundation and God Base. After getting through these minor realms, one would finally become a real cultivator. Alas, there are trillions of beings, and not many could get through these barriers.
“God Base is the most difficult. Countless heroes and talents usually get stuck in this realm for dozens or even a hundred years. In the end, their talents are wasted and they would die an ordinary death like a mortal.
“The first cornerstone of cultivation is truly difficult. Ten thousand years worth of cultivation could end before it even started because of this realm.”
Feng Feiyun slowly sighed before his eyes flashed with determination. He had finally crossed this hurdle to reach the next level. The next trials before him were to open his meridians and then the Earth Tribulation. He needed to pass these trials before seizing the Heaven’s Mandate to obtain a lifespan of five hundred years. With that, he would have more time to do as he pleased!
The silver river spanned across the celestial canopy to link two different galaxies. 1
Two meteors came from the north and crossed the silver river, aiming straight for Mount Banda. In just a moment, they landed right outside the altar. Their majestic arrival seemed just like two devil beasts from the primordial past breaking through the fabric of time to come to this world.
“It’s them!” Feng Feiyun quickly took one step back before creating a small tornado of sand to hide himself in.
His body disappeared into the sand.
The Evil Woman also felt the two conspicuous presences. She only woke up from her cultivation without moving. Her eyes were still closed as she sat in a meditative pose.
The starlight in the sky had been bathing her as she tried to refine the spirit vessel without batting an eye.
Feng Feiyun thought to himself: ‘Three corpses to slay the dao. First, separate into three corpses only to join together once more. Their gathering now could kill the heavenly dao.’
The gales continued to send the snow flying outside of the altar on this cold night.
The snowflakes were like the fluffy feathers of a phoenix falling down onto this magnificent scenery. Their drifting nature made this lonely night even colder and more beautiful.
Xiao Nuolan used her paper umbrella right outside of the altar. Her tight, white dress painted her exquisite figure below her red winter jacket.
To her right was a floating corpse palace. All four ethereal doors were opened. There wasn’t the stench of corpse energy but rather an immortal aura. One could smell its pleasant and charming taste.
“You actually made it out of the Immeasurable Tower.” The Evil Woman was not shaken at all. A green brilliance flashed across her fair skin while her long eyebrows slightly trembled, but her eyes remained closed. She continued: “I was going to go to the Immeasurable Tower to seize your dao foundation after completing the fifth transformation. I didn’t think that you would escape by yourself.”
“The Immeasurable Tower couldn’t trap you, so it naturally couldn’t trap me. You are my Evil Corpse, it is time for you to return to the true body.” Xiao Nuolan’s appearance was initially different from the Evil Woman’s, but after some time, her looks changed to be exactly like the Evil Woman.
If they stood in the same spot, very few would be able to tell the two apart. Which was the Evil Corpse and which was the true body?
“Your dao has regressed. The Evil Corpse is the true body and the true body is the Evil Corpse. This is a world of the strong; I am stronger than you, so I am the true body.” The Evil Woman’s body exuded a chilling prestige with an evil aura. Even the high heavens would want to kneel before her.
Good people used virtue to govern; evil people used force to reign.
“Whoosh!” The Evil Woman finally opened her eyes. The black pupils looked just like two black holes. The stars in the sky were distorted and flew in the direction of her gaze, soaring closer towards the altar.
Xiao Nuolan closed the paper umbrella and pointed forward to shatter the starlight. She flew forward into the altar and landed on a stone tablet like an immortal crane on a mountain.
“Boom!” Her palm carried the force of several mountains. With a flip of her palm, the world seemed to be lifted as she unleashed a blow towards the altar as if wanting to flatten the entire mountain.
“The true body is strong to this level too!” Feng Feiyun was now hiding under another tablet and used his ring for protection. Nevertheless, he could still feel the threat of death. A stray energy ray could kill him any second.
Luckily, the altar had an unfathomable strength. It didn’t get destroyed throughout the long ages, so even though the two women had terrorizing cultivations, they still couldn’t shake the thousand stone tablets.
“Bang!” The corpse palace floating in the sky joined in as well. It flew inside the altar and attacked the Evil Woman. It was completely different from Feng Feiyun’s first impression since it was just as strong as Xiao Nuolan.
It ignited in flames; this was the fire of a fourth-transformation corpse that spread in a boundless manner. Images of gigantic corpses began to attack. A three hundred mile radius around Mount Banda was quaking and sank down three meters.
“Good Corpse, you are here just in time. Good, I’ll refine both of you today to complete my dao.” The Evil Woman’s body shot out endless rays. She reached forward and clouds began to gather in the sky. A huge palm print slammed down from the heavens.
