Chapter 406: Young Lord Of The Feng
The azure spirit vessel turned into a ray of light and flew back inside Feiyun’s body. There was only Feiyun standing there now embracing Hongyan.
The rain continued with no sign of easing.
Suddenly, he felt a sudden warmness while standing there in a daze. It woke him up from the pain.
“Oh? This is the power of the phoenix bone!” He stared carefully at Nangong Hongyan’s chest. A thick crimson light was slowly jumping like a flourishing flame.
A weak and slow noise clearly sounded by his ears. This was the sound of a heart beating. Her cold blood began to flow once more with its temperature raising.
Life was added to this dead body. The flame jumped faster and became increasingly brighter, like a star carved in her heart.
The excited Feiyun murmured to himself: “She’s not completely dead yet, the phoenix bone is giving her a path towards life. That bone must have been a heartbone from the phoenix.”
All creatures’ heart was made from flesh but the phoenix heart was a piece of bone, as red as a crystal and as beautiful as a flame.
It was similar to a cultivator’s God Base. It was the first “phoenix” bone cultivated by this type of creature and the most primal.
The so-called phoenix rebirth was the boneheart coming back to life. Fire would burn everything to ashes and from the ashes, the boneheart would condense again for another life.
As long as this rebirth process was successful, the heartbone would become tougher and same with the phoenix’s life.
An ordinary phoenix bone couldn’t awaken a human cultivator’s life force but a boneheart could.
Even though her blood was flowing again with her life force returning, she still looked like a slumbering beauty.
“Only the power of rebirth, no energy necessary for the process. Two hours at most and her life will disappear again for a true death.” An old voice resounded next to him with the sound of footsteps.
An old man slowly walked out from the misty rain.
Feng Mo walked through the mud and wet grass from the darkness with Wan Xiangcen right behind him. She carried an umbrella for his sake; her sweet fragrance was ever so present.
The raindrops fell down from the umbrella and connected together like a string of pearls.
Feiyun turned towards Feng Mo. He naturally understood this too. The energy required for rebirth belonged to the Nirvana realm, the level of an Enlightened Being.
In order for Hongyan to live again, an Enlightened Being needed to take action but how many were there in the entire dynasty?
Plus, how was he going to find one in just two hours? Only Feng Mo was available.
Feiyun stared at Hongyan’s tightly-shut eyes and lowered his head to kiss her eyebrows. ‘You can’t die, I’ll pay whatever price.’
Xiangcen stared at Feiyun standing in the rain with his messy hair and the woman in his embrace. She felt a strange sense of jealousy.
Feng Mo sighed and said: “Little children sometimes become disobedient and betray. Once they play enough outside and become wounded and trapped, they will find that home is the warmest place. Child, come home.”
Feiyun clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. This was a guy who started all this and now, he wanted to play the good guy? To submit now or to wait for death?
If the dying person was Feiyun, he would never submit!
But now, he had no other choice. A weakling often lacked choices. He must become stronger and stronger to become someone who can decide his own fate.
***
Half a month later.
When a woman takes off her clothes off for a man, the man would need to help her put them on again.
Feiyun put the Crimson Phoenix Garment and the Cloak of Invisibility back on Nangong Honyan. He was sending her away from the Celestial Paradise.
She simply turned back and gave him a smile, one that was enough to make the flowers bloom. She didn’t need to say anything; her eyes revealed everything.
Feng Mo flashed behind Feiyun all of a sudden. He looked at the woman that was gone now and said: “Her being here will only slow you down. This is better for both of you.”
Feng Mo didn’t allow Hongyan to stay so she had to leave. He was the current lord of the six counties and this place right now.
His will was an unquestionable decree.
“Ancestor, you are right.” Feiyun stopped looking at the horizon.
Feng Mo nodded approvingly: “As the successor of the Feng, you are simply too weak. Many among the young generation can still beat you. Xiangcen, take him to the spirit vein underground so he can train. I leave him to you and satisfy all his demands. If you don’t take good care of him, you are not qualified to be a bride of the Feng.”
