Spirit Vessel - Chapter 593

Chapter 593: 593



There has never been a summer with so much rain . The downpour has lasted for half a month with no sign of stopping . The surging currents of Jin River were on the verge of bursting the dam .

Feiyun’s Nine-doves Gown had a demonic glow; his eyes were red and his long hair fluttered in the wind .

He trod through the muddy shore, southward . Who knows of his destination?

The fight against the Beiming has left him wounded . Moreover, he carved the statue of Supreme Goddess for three months without resting .

Though his evil affinity was violent, he was still a human, not a god . The guy could collapse at any moment .

Dongfang Jingyue weathered the rain and continued to follow him from a distance . Her black dress was dirty; hair a mess . Beads of water ran down her forehead and left behind muddy stains on her otherwise flawless face .

The two walked like that for miles without speaking .

Suddenly, Feiyun stopped and took out his weapon essence while gathering his beast souls: “Scram!”

Jingyue also halted without replying .

“If you don’t get the hell away from me, I will kill you!” Feiyun spoke with a coarse and bloodthirsty voice; a vicious glare belonging to a wild beast .

She didn’t move and continued to stare .

Feiyun hasn’t lost his sanity completely or he wouldn’t have been able to carve the statue or yell at Jingyue, telling her to leave . He didn’t know when he would lose it completely and turn into a bloodthirsty demon .

Once that happened, the first victim would be Dongfang Jingyue .

“Why are you following me?” He said with a painful and hesitant stare .

“I want you to be a human, not a monster . I will pull you back . ” Jingyue paused ever so slightly before answering .

The hesitation disappeared from his eyes . They turned cold, as red as blood . He rushed forward and destroyed a mountain while going southward .

“What are you trying to do?” Jingyue followed right behind him .

“I will become a demon and massacre the world, a sinner of the ages… for the sake of Supreme Goddess . ” Feiyun spoke ruthlessly with a hint of romanticism just like a god of death recalling an old love .

He began his rampage - killing everything on his sight for 18,000 miles . More than a million people became his victims .

During this month, everyone shuddered after hearing his name, afraid that he might kill everyone in the world .

But he suddenly disappeared after one month and the killing stopped .

Starting from a village, someone announced that the demon was subdued by Supreme Goddess . It didn’t take long before the entire Central Royal Prefecture begins building shrines for her . Worshippers came offering incense nonstop, praying for her to forever imprison that demon so no more disasters would happen .

“You know, one day when that demon was killing everyone in the city, he suddenly fell on the ground . A white goddess descended from the sky came and grabbed the demon then flew to the sky . The monster never appears again from then on . More than ten thousand people saw this, she must be Supreme Goddess!”


“She’s our kingdom’s divine guardian . The empress performed a blessing rite at Faith Convent and offered three heavenly incense sticks for Supreme Goddess . They will burn for three years without extinguishing . ”

“Even the empress worshipped her? She must be a real deity then . ”

***

Heaven’s Equal was a majestic mountain range, zigzagging for 370,000 miles across half of Jin .

It touched five prefectures - Grand Southern, Ancient Jiang, Myriad Mines, Earthchild, and Northern Frontier Prefecture .



It had the most pristine forests where powerful beasts, precious minerals, and rare materials could be found . Half of the cultivation resources in Jin came from this place . Numerous sects, both good and evil, were built next to it .

At the southern region was the number one sacred ground, Wanxiang Pagoda .

At the midpoint, the Dao Gate .

Ten thousand miles south of the Dao Gate was the number one Buddhist holy ground, the Beastmaster Camp .

There were another thousand sects or so in this region outside of the three great powers . Ten thousand miles to the north were marshes with branches from the corpse caves .

Of course, the mountain range was large enough to accommodate these sects . They all had their own territories .

Some of these ancient forests contained powerful beasts, uninhabited by cultivators . Rumor has it that deep inside were spirit beasts that could kill Enlightened Beings . During nights of full moon, the spirit energy around the area would start to tremble violently .

***

Two tall peaks filled with bluestones with had a dangerous path by the ridge . A bronze carriage was traveling on this path . When looking from below, it looked like the carriage was flying in the sky and could fall at any moment, resulting in a horrific death .

The driver was a girl in white with beautiful black hair and a pipa in her embrace .

This area was beautiful - waterfalls and mists, numerous white cranes and towering old pine tree . Who knows how long they have been growing for?

“Whoosh! Whoosh!” Two girls around sixteen years of age - dressed in white buddhist robe - rode two cranes and flew over from the clouds .

They were beautiful, armed with jade swords . They jumped off the cranes to stop the carriage .

“Halt, this is the hallowed Beastmaster Camp,” said Ming Sheng, a grand completion God Base .



Jingyue stopped and stared into the distance through the mist . She could hear the ethereal bells ringing several hundred miles away: “So this is Beastmaster Camp?”

“This is Calmwind Pass, still 180 miles away from the camp . However, it is still the entrance towards the sect guarded by us . No one is allowed entry . ” Ming Yun said .

One needed to travel through this pass before reaching the Beastmaster Camp .

“The two of you are buddhist disciples?” Jingyue asked .

“We are the disciples of the twenty-sixth generation, my name is Ming Sheng, she is Ming Yun . What is your name, benefactor? And your purpose in coming?”

Jingyue said: “I am the fourth daughter of the Yin Gou, Dongfang Jingyue . I am here for an audience with Master Tan, hoping that the two great Venerable Buddhas here could chant the Calmheart Mantra to save my friend . ”

Ming Sheng and Ming Yun naturally knew the Yin Gou Clan and that Jingyue was a big shot . They both slightly bowed and became more relaxed and respectful .

“So you are Benefactor Dongfang, may I ask if your friend is male or female?”

“Male . ” Jingyue said .

Ming Sheng firmly said: “Please return, Benefactor Dongfang! The Beastmaster Camp does not allow men to enter, the master won’t see you . ”

Suddenly, white clouds and mist condensed together to form the gigantic figure of a woman . Its voice traveled far: “Ming Sheng, Ming Yun, invite Benefactor Dongfang in and take her to Skyhigh Peak, Whirling Cavern . ”

This figure was the avatar of the camp’s master, Tan Qingsu .

“Greetings, Master . ” Both the girls bowed towards the figure .

They were confused - this matter actually attracted the attention of their master? Just who is in that carriage?

Jingyue glanced towards that avatar and thought to herself: ‘That’s Tan Qingsu for you, she knew I would bring Feng Feiyun here . ’

She said: “Thank you, Camp Master . ”

The avatar dispersed back into clouds and mist to blot out the sky again .

Feng Feiyun’s demonic and evil blood has invaded his entire body with ten thousand beast souls running wild . If it wasn’t for the Nine-doves Gown protecting his last strand of sanity, he would have lost his humanity already .

He was already grievously wounded on top of not sleeping for several months . He collapsed after his murderous rampage .

Dongfang Jingyue saved him and brought him to the Beastmaster Camp .

This was the number one holy ground of Buddhism that had trained a legendary character like Fo Canzi . It was considered one of the most ancient sects around but it didn’t participate in the power struggle . That’s why its influence wasn’t as strong as the four clans .

No one really knew the exact strength and resources of this lineage that had lasted for tens of thousands of years .

Jingyue only knew that they had two Enlightened Beings since a thousand years ago . The seniors from her clan told her so . Most outsiders didn’t know anything about this, so one could see how distant the camp was from everyone else .

In order to save Feng Feiyun, restore his humanity, and chase away the evil blood, one must calm the raging beast souls first . Only the Calmheart Mantra of this place could do so .

Rumor has it that an old Buddhist meditated on a boulder and chanted this mantra until all the beasts in this mountainous region fell asleep .

‘I hope those two Enlightened Beings are still alive . ’ Jingyue thought while riding the carriage . She lifted the curtain to take a look at Feiyun before sighing .

Becoming evil for love, massacring for love, sinning for love - but this love wasn’t directed at her .
