Chapter 462: One Slash, Three Defeats
The Dragon King’s Third Continent.
A majestic palace was floating in the air with a dazzling radiance. Many young guards in a shiny golden robe patrolled outside with an arrogant expression. They were the so-called “Divine Messengers” by the inhabitants of this continent.
The master of this palace was one of the three Regal Ancestors.
“The disciple of the seventh prince is a member of the northern Mala Tribe, born with a physical gift. At nine year age, he could already lift a one-thousand-pound boulder. The prince caught him the Grand Universe Palm in three days. There is some result already for the boy is at early Spirit Realm.”
“The disciple of the eighteenth prince is a heaven-defying genius, ten years of age. He is cultivating the Thunderbolt Art, reaching early Spirit Realm on the second day.”
“The seventy-second prince’s successor had used a prenatal Violet Pearlgrass on top of learning with the prince’s secret art. He had reached intermediate Spirit Realm and have an elementary understanding of the Boneshift Profound Power.”
Three men in yellow were kneeling and reporting inside the palace.
The four candidates all had experts secretly following them for observation.
“What about that Feng Feiyun?” This third Regal Ancestor’s voice was billowing and majestic just like a god.
The fourth man in yellow came in and respectfully kneeled down: “Last night, Feng Feiyun gathered a divine bolt on top of a peak to kill his disciple, turning her to a charred corpse. However, the girl came back to life. After one night of recuperation, she had refined the death energy in her body but her current cultivation is unknown.”
“Why didn’t you try further investigating?” The ancestor asked.
The man explained: “This Undying Devil Art is too unique. Her body is shrouded in its energy so my divine intents can’t see her cultivation.”
The ancestor gently flipped through the pages of the manual containing the Undying Devil Art and solemnly said: “Looks like she has successfully cultivated the beginning stage of this merit law. That scoundrel Long Chuanfeng is lucky indeed. First, he found a supreme disciple and now, an incredible grand-disciple too? No, I must see this competition for myself.” He suddenly flashed into disappeared from the palace.
This was the third day, also the day of the final competition.
Feiyun and Little Shi Lan walked on the ancient path towards the highest location of the third continent.
After returning to life, Shi Lan had undergone a massive change. There was a glow to her skin; her bones resembled immortal jades now. Her eyes were even brighter than the stars. She wore a tiny, white daoist robe with her hair rolled up in a bun, covered by a crest. She also had a white belt with a black jade in the center, looking just like a young immortal.
There was a treasure sword on her back as she walked proudly behind Feng Feiyun.
“Master…” She opened her lips with a breath as refreshing as peppermint and softly said.
“Don’t call me master. Our relationship ends after today, we might not ever meet again.” Feiyun didn’t turn back at all.
With shifting eyes due to rumination, she continued to follow him. Feiyun had told her that he came from a different world.
He suddenly stopped and reminded: “Don’t forget what I’ve told you.”
Shi Lan also stopped and touched her head with one finger, a pose of contemplation.
Feiyun said seriously: “After we separate today, you must listen unconditionally no matter where they take you to. If they ask you anything, say you do not know. Never tell anyone the cultivation method for the Immortal Phoenix Physique, that’s the only way for you to survive.”
She stared at him with a yearning expression: “Master, I want to go with you.”
“You can’t follow me unless you become powerful enough to defeat the strongest person in this continent, strong enough to break through the spatial fabric of this world. That’s the only way for you to come to my world, one that is a million times larger than this. At that point, you might not be able to find me anyway.”
Feiyun had said what he needed to so he continued forward silently.
She intensified her glare at his back as if wanting to remember it even after a thousand years have passed. After feeling that she had carved it deep in her mind, she gave chase after him.
She also memorized his words - defeating the strongest person on this continent, break through space, another world.
If her big sis was her previous hope in life, then Feng Feiyun had taken up that mantle now. This was a man who had changed her life.
When the duo made it to the top, the other three princes were present as well.
An old man in a golden robe was also there. His eyes became fixated on Shi Lan who was behind Feiyun.
Next to each of the prince was also a boy around ten years of age. All three boys were arrogant and oppressive. Two were at early Spirit Realm while the third was at the intermediate level.
“Feiyun, you actually picked a girl?” The seventh prince couldn’t help but laugh.
The eighteenth prince also smiled: “Looks like a lovely young lady.”
