Chapter 1049
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian watched as Nanfeng Aoxue left . He still continued to remain there . The might gushing forth from him dissipated but he still was in his giant form, blocking the road . This was done out of consideration for Nanfeng Yunxi as the scene behind him, was just too beautiful .
At this moment, a scream of misery rang out from behind him, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble .
"I should not look behind me . " Qin Wentian reminded himself, steadying his heart . Nanfeng Yunxi continued screaming, it felt like she was under great pain and agony . Most probably, her fleshly body was undergoing another round of baptism .
When one ascended to immortality, their body would undergo a round of cleansing . In these ancestral lands, there was apparently another secret art, allowing one to find life via heading to death, allowing one's physique to be perfected further, growing stronger than ever .
This baptism process was a lengthy one but no one else tried to seize any of the three roads . Clearly, Nanfeng Aoxue and the other two unqualified maidens also encountered strong resistance when they attempted to seize the other two roads .
"It should be completed right?" Qin Wentian mused . He turned his head back for a glance, only to see the Nanfeng Yunxi right now, was completely perfect and flawless . Ruddy redness of health could be seen on her jade-white skin . Her black hair fluttered gently in the wind, painting a picture of grace and charm, causing one to lose their wits at if they saw her beauty .
"My actions were unintentional . " Qin Wentian spoke to himself, actually feeling panic in his heart . He told himself he did so because he was worried for Nanfeng Yunxi's safety, and had no intentions to profane her . How could he, Qin Wentian, be a lecherous person…?
After a long time, a melodious sound rang out . Nanfeng Yunxi spoke gently, "I'm done . "
Qin Wentian let out a breath, clearing his emotions . His form returned to his original size and he turned his head back . Nanfeng Yunxi already had a fresh robe on, yet her enhanced beauty was still apparent . Qin Wentian felt a little guilty when he met Nanfeng Yunxi's eyes . He hurriedly spoke, "Should we carry on, moving to the next location?"
"The path ahead can only be entered if I provide you with my protection . " Nanfeng Yunxi spoke in a low voice . As for the other two roads to nirvana, Nanfeng Shengge and Nanfeng Qingruo also opened up a path forward, leading to the next location .
Kong Ye, Jiang Ziyu and the other helpers also came onto the path . Nanfeng Aoxue, Nanfeng Xihua and Nanfeng Ji also entered but they had expressions of disappointment on their faces . Had this already ended?
"How should we proceed ahead?" Nanfeng Aoxue asked .
"Sister Aoxue, you no longer have a chance . Only the three of us are qualified to continue down this path . For others who wish to accompany us, it would require us to provide protection for them before they can continue ahead . " Nanfeng Shengge spoke in a gentle voice . Nanfeng Aoxue had a look of unwillingness in her eyes . She coldly stared at Qin Wentian, if it wasn't for Qin Wentian, she definitely wouldn't have failed .
"How should we proceed?" Kong Ye stared at Nanfeng Shengge as he asked .
"How about it? Each of us will just bring one helper along . " Nanfeng Qingruo glanced at Nanfeng Shengge and Nanfeng Yunxi as she spoke .
"Agreed . " Nanfeng Shengge nodded .
"Fine . " Nanfeng Yunxi also nodded in agreement .
"Jiang Ziyu . " Nanfeng Qingruo turned to Jiang Ziyu . Nanfeng Shengge gazed at Kong Ye . Nanfeng Yunxi's beautiful eyes landed onto Qin Wentian .
"Mengchen, Purgatory . Both of you wait for me here . " Qin Wentian turned his head and spoke to Jun Mengchen and Purgatory . The two of them nodded, they had no disagreements .
"Senior brother, it's best to be careful . Both of them are exceedingly powerful . " Jun Mengchen transmitted his voice to Qin Wentian . Qin Wentian naturally understood that Jun Mengchen was referring to Jiang Ziyu and Kong Ye . Earlier when he repelled Nanfeng Aoxue from Nanfeng Yunxi's road to nirvana, she must have gone to try her luck on the other two roads . But evidently, she failed . This meant that both Jiang Ziyu and Kong Ye similarly had the power to repel Nanfeng Aoxue .
"Right . " Qin Wentian replied . Since Jun Mengchen warned him, it meant that these two must really be powerful .
Qin Wentian walked towards Nanfeng Yunxi . Her wings spread open as she stated to him, "Come before me . "
"Mhm . " Qin Wentian walked up . Her phoenix wings wrapped gently around him as she spoke, "Hold on to my hand tightly . "
Qin Wentian held on to Nanfeng Yunxi's hand . Nanfeng Yunxi turned her gaze ahead, her expression was as calm as usual .
Her phoenix wings flapped as the two of them soared into the air . Nanfeng Yunxi's silhouette flickered as shot towards the flame vortexes at the end of the road to nirvana with Qin Wentian wrapped securely within . Not only her, Nanfeng Shengge and Nanfeng Qingruo were doing the same as well .
"Purgatory, can you feel how fortunate senior brother is?" Jun Mengchen stared at the departing Qin Wentian as he sighed to Purgatory who was beside him . Purgatory glared fiercely at him as she replied, "Big brother Qin is doing this to help Nanfeng Yunxi obtain the position of Holy Successor . He isn't thinking of filthy thoughts like you . "
"I'm just saying . " Jun Mengchen shook his head, staring at the beautiful lass which was Purgatory in her human form . She treats his senior brother so well . The more he looked, the more fortunate he felt his senior brother was .
"What are you looking at?" Purgatory snapped . Jun Mengchen hurriedly turned his gaze away, "Nope, not looking at anything . "
A powerful aura bore down on them . Nanfeng Aoxue and Zong Zhan were in the air, staring at Jun Mengchen and Purgatory . Jun Mengchen's eyes gleamed with light as he spoke, "Nanfeng Aoxue, you are a holy maiden of the Southern Phoenix Clan . The fight to become Holy Successor was a fair one . Since you are already defeated, can you not afford to lose?"
"Hmph . " Nanfeng Aoxue coldly snorted, leaving after flicking her sleeves . She anticipated this trial for ten over years . Her hope was cruelly extinguished just like that .
"What are you looking at? You are a heaven-warring condor right? I don't mind fighting against you again once we exit the ancestral lands . " Jun Mengchen glared at Zong Zhan and spoke in a provocative tone .
"Just you wait . " Zong Zhan coldly spoke .
At this moment, Qin Wentian and the others already arrived at the next dimension . This place was incomparably resplendent and just as before, a gigantic ancient parasol tree could be seen towering up into the heavens . In the air, boundless parasol leaves floated down, dancing in the wind while glimmering with a scintillating light . This seemed to be a scene from a dream .
"The phoenix perched on parasol trees . " Qin Wentian already stepped out from the embrace of Nanfeng Yunxi's wings . He stood beside her, inclining his head as he stared ahead . Up in the air above the parasol tree, a faint shadow of a true phoenix could be seen .
"Is there a real phoenix here in the ancestral lands?" Qin Wentian murmured .
Qin Wentian was thinking that if the Southern Phoenix Ancestor is a real phoenix, it would surely be as old as the amount of time the Southern Phoenix Clan lasted for . How ancient would it be? And if it was true, it would definitely be a supremely strong saint beast .
"How are we going to fly up?" When Qin Wentian attempted to soar in the air, he felt a formless pressure pressing against him . It was impossible for them to fly in this dimension .
"These parasol leaves are the bridge that would lead us upwards . " Nanfeng Yunxi spoke to Qin Wentian . She stared at the parasol leaves dancing in the wind . Her immortal sense seeped into them as she chanted an incantation . Qin Wentian had never heard of this before but the next moment, a piece of parasol leaf drifted towards them and transformed into a flight of steps, allowing them to climb up .
"How mystical . " Qin Wentian's eyes flickered . The parasol leaves were extremely large, the flight of steps they transformed into could bear several people . He walked beside Nanfeng Yunxi and didn't continue to disturb her . He knew that his only job now was to protect Nanfeng Yunxi in critical moments .
Nanfeng Shengge and Nanfeng Qingruo were both chanting some strange incantations as well, causing more steps to materialize . In the air, three stairways gradually formed, exuding elegance and towered up into the sky, leading towards the top of that incomparably gargantuan ancient parasol tree .
Nanfeng Shengge was on the center stairway, Nanfeng Qingruo on the left and Nanfeng Yunxi on the right . The positioning placed Nanfeng Shengge at a disadvantage .
However although the three of them were materializing more steps, Nanfeng Qingruo seemed to be the slowest one . Nanfeng Yunxi and Nanfeng Shengge actually advanced at the same pace .
When Kong Ye saw this, a smile appeared on his face . Seems like Nanfeng Yunxi and Nanfeng Shengge's comprehension abilities were a shade more outstanding compared to Nanfeng Qingruo . Nanfeng Qingruo would soon be out of the running . Although she was still forming steps, the distance between her and the other two were gradually pulling apart .
Kong Ye's eyes flickered as he stared in Nanfeng Yunxi's direction . Qin Wentian turned his gaze over, locking eyes with Kong Ye as he spoke, "The final battle . I feel that it should still be left in the hands of the holy maidens . We only need to protect them, not allowing them to meet any disturbance . "
"Victory is already in my grasp . Why must I listen to you?" Kong Ye replied, his words causing Qin Wentian's expression to stiffen .
This Kong Ye was truly so confident . Was he implying that he would win for sure against Qin Wentian? Could he really stop Nanfeng Yunxi and allow Nanfeng Shengge to obtain the inheritance?
"As a protector, if you are defeated, wouldn't that affect the safety of Holy Maiden Shengge?" Qin Wentian counter asked .
"Since I'm her protector, I'm naturally fighting for her . " Kong Ye replied . "Let alone, I won't be defeated . "
"Nanfeng Aoxue also thought she would obtain the inheritance for sure but she didn't even make it here . Overconfidence is nothing more than blind arrogance . " Qin Wentian spoke .
Kong Ye's aura gushed out, no longer wishing to waste words . From the current situation, Nanfeng Yunxi was clearly in the weakest position . Nanfeng Yunxi and Nanfeng Shengge were steadily advancing . In Kong Ye's perspective, as long as he defeated Nanfeng Yunxi's protector Qin Wentian, that would be able to halt Nanfeng Yunxi's progress, allowing Nanfeng Shengge to become the Holy Successor . So, how could Kong Ye miss such an opportunity?
When Qin Wentian saw this scene, immortal might also gushed forth from him . Since Kong Ye wanted to fight, he would oblige him .
"Bzz~" An incomparably resplendent ray of light radiated from Kong Ye . It resembled a peacock fanning its tail, shining out with a seven-colored immortal light, drawing the consciousness of those who saw it within as they fell into a daze .
Qin Wentian closed his eyes . It seemed like Kong Ye was a half-demon .
And indeed, Kong Ye's father was a human cultivator but his mother was a peacock demon king .
Opening his tail feathers, numerous immortal seals shot out . He seized the split-second where Qin Wentian was in a daze to attack with lightning speed .
Qin Wentian's immortal might frenziedly gushed forth from his immortal foundation . His entire being shimmered with immortal light as the faint shadow of a divine turtle enveloped him . The immortal seals blasted at him, chipping at the turtle's defense . Qin Wentian used his immortal sense to envelop this space . Even if he closed his eyes, he could still 'see' his surroundings . Right now, he could see a seven-colored gorgeous light emitting from the peacock's tail and even his sight using immortal sense was blurred by it . Jun Mengchen had reminded him to be careful of Jiang Ziyu and Kong Ye . These two were indeed truly fearsome opponents .
Kong Ye's confidence came from his strength .
"Victory is mine for certain . " Kong Ye's voice drifted over . His entire body was enveloped with a beautiful glow . With a wave of his hand, a gigantic peacock materialized, shooting forth numerous ancient seals that wanted to destroy everything .
After defeating Qin Wentian, Nanfeng Shengge would be the Holy Successor for sure .
