Spirit Vessel - Chapter 604

Chapter 604: 604



Calmwind Pass was the only entrance to Beastmaster, consisting of two towering peaks full of treacherous climbs .

Only one plank road built on trestles coiled around the ridge like a dragon .

At the top was a monastery with earthy-yellow walls and green roof-tiles . Inside was a lamp, still lit . Spirit trees surrounded the place . Beasts were roaming around - the image of a paradise .

“How can this be?!” Chi Yao shouted in horror with her hands covering her mouth after seeing the inside of the monastery .

The other three girls couldn’t believe their own eyes . Their expression darkened .

Wu Qinghua’s expression was even uglier . She looked at the nun sitting on the praying mat and couldn’t calm down: “Junior Aunt… is dead…”

The nun sitting straight inside the monastery was no longer alive .

Feiyun grabbed her wrist and said: “She’s cold outside but her blood is still warm, it hasn’t been long, and, she committed suicide for atonement . ”

Wu Qinghua and the four girls became unhappy . Chi Yao coldly said: “Ancestor Liu is a person of virtue and prestige, too merciful and wouldn’t even kill an ant . Now, she was killed by a villain and if you keep on slandering her, I will not go easy on you . ”

Ling’er added: “Feng Feiyun, her mental fortitude is peerless in the contemporary, she can’t commit suicide . ”

Feiyun snorted and lifted the nun’s sleeve, revealing the ground beneath . There was a bloody character, “sinner” . Her finger has been ground down to the bone - clearly from writing the character numerous times .

The girls had no response and their heart grew heavier as if something has been broken in their mind - their confidence .

“I’m certain that after hearing about the missing scripture, she chose to commit suicide . ” Feiyun emotionlessly said .

“Amitabha . ”

“Amitabha . ”

The girls closed their eyes and chanted . Who knows if it was to cross over their ancestor’s soul or to hide the fear in their eyes .

Qinghua still couldn’t accept it because the sect’s reputation would be destroyed overnight . Furthermore, it would be a great blow to the female disciples here with an adverse effect on their cultivation .

“Maybe… we’re missing something else…” She said .

“You can check whether your ancestor is still a virgin then . I’ll be waiting outside . ”

He walked out of the entrance and stood in the yard to look at the red clouds over yonder behind the mountains . A red mist appeared in his eyes, feeling the existence of a powerful foe .

This was a strange feeling for these top geniuses . They could sense each other though they were so far away .

Feiyun closed his eyes and continued to feel . He could see a monk in white sitting in this courtyard, resembling a holy Bodhi Tree with a blinding glow slowly emerging from the soil .

He could hear the Buddhist hymns, the most peaceful of them all as if a great monk was chanting .




Suddenly, the sounds turned into a terrifying spear and went straight for his throat .

“Boom!” He formed two fists and raised the iron chain to block in front of him .

A massive power slammed into his arms causing sparks to go flying .

Feiyun suddenly opened his eyes and leaped backward . He stared towards the direction of the spear and could see a single footprint .

It has been here for a while, almost washed away by the rain but its dao laws remained .

He carefully observed and murmured: “Just one footprint already contains so much power with enough heavenly dao to activate the worldly momentum, in tune with the veins here . That’s quite impressive . ”

“But why only one footprint? Does he only have one leg?” Feiyun frowned .

Rhino ran over with its massive body and an awe-inspiring aura . The beasts nearby squirmed on the ground, not daring to move .

“Brat, what happened? I sensed a movement in the worldly laws . ” It asked .

Spirit beasts were very in-tune with nature and laws of the world, and the rhinoceros had a good bloodline on top of that .

Feiyun memorized the footprint to the exact details before slamming on the ground to create a sinister rune . He smiled: “You missed it . A supreme elder of the camp committed suicide for atonement . The world would be shocked to hear this . ”



Rhino’s eyes were wide open, same with its large mouth revealing the two rows of teeth - clearly frightened by Feiyun’s revelation .

Wu Qinghua has come out, not in the best of moods . Strangely enough, she wasn’t furious, at least not expressively .

The four girls had nothing to say . Even Ling’er who has been outside before became speechless .

Feiyun knew the result of the examination right away and was impressed that they were still relatively calm - indeed the best seeds of this generation .

After a while, Qinghua spoke: “No one is to speak about this matter . Immediately cremate Junior Aunt Liu right now and return to tell the camp master that she had died from qi deviation, resulting in severing veins . ”

The four girls quietly nodded and burned both the corpse of their ancestor along with the monastery . Nothing was left behind by the fire .

They gritted their teeth and felt very uncomfortable as if a rock was pressing down on their heart . Their Buddhist heart, trained for so many years, started to waver .

“Feng Feiyun, you must know who did it, tell me now and I will go take his dog life!” Chi Yao had a cold expression . The sword floating on top of her hymned and pulsed with images of white butterflies . This sword energy crushed the vegetation nearby to dust .

Feiyun stood there with his evil aura oozing out just like a devil: “Naive girl, even your ancestor was ridden by him, let alone you four . ”

“Feng Feiyun, you better watch your mouth, do not insult our ancestor!” The gorgeous Huaji Ningxiang scowled: “Bring this up again and I will take you down at all cost!”

“You’re only twenty yet you dare to call us girls? I want to see what you can do . ” Chi Yao was not amused and took out her spirit sword with a lunar pulse on the blade .

They were prideful on top of hating Feiyun, thinking that he was a devil . If it wasn’t for the camp master’s order, they would have teamed up to kill him already .

He smiled in response: “Wu Qinghua, you should just take these amazing geniuses back to the camp, their presence only distracts me . ”

Qinghua glanced at the four and told them to back down: “With the death of the Junior Aunt, all the clues are gone now . Where do we go from here?”

“If it wasn’t for your camp master saving me with the Calmheart Mantra, I wouldn’t be bothering myself with your mess . ” Feiyun directly walked down the path with the five girls and Rhino behind him .

Feiyun was really too arrogant and didn’t show any respect to the Buddhist Supreme . The four girls became increasingly exasperated with him .

He suddenly stopped and asked: “How many other Buddhist sects are within three thousand miles of the camp?”

Beastmaster was located in the middle of the great mountain range but it wasn’t the only one . This place had ample resources and around one thousand sects nearby with their own territories .

Qinghua said: “A total of eighteen shrines and six convents . The strongest must be Life Temple fourteen thousand miles to the north of us, and Ancient Path Shrine six thousand miles to the west . They have more than ten thousand Buddhists; the rest aren’t on the same scale . ”

“So many Buddhists gathered around here . Looks like it must be because of Beastmaster’s holy reputation . ” Feiyun murmured: “We don’t have any clue now so let’s test our luck at Ancient Path Shrine first . ”

He jumped on Rhino and told it to fly towards the west .

For a person who has been coveting a Buddhist scripture, they would want to flip the page and start learning right away .

Feiyun believed in his intuition, thinking that after taking the scripture, the first thing that man would do was researching it . Thus, he would be picking a place nearby to stop .
