“Looks like this place is becoming more and more chaotic by the day, even the missing Heretical King has shown up, negating the presence of the Imperial Sire . If all the sects and clans form an alliance, it’ll overwhelm the court regardless of how strong it is . I must grow stronger in order to survive in this turmoil . ”
Feiyun truly felt a great pressure, unable to escape from the chaos . All he could do was to improve himself to wait for the return of the Supreme Goddess’ soul . Being strong was the only way to make her feel safe later on .
It would be terrible for her to be rebirth in an era where she could die again at any moment . Because of this, Feiyun needed to be stronger to spare her from harm .
On the second day, Feiyun, Ruxue, Strategist Mo, and fifty soldiers crossed the pass towards Ancient Jiang .
The road was rugged due to the forests and mountains . The Jin has started building infrastructures here but they have been overrun by weeds . Only two lines were left behind from the carriages of merchants .
Strategist Mo has sent a scout ahead . He rode a qilin bull and followed behind Feiyun .
Bai Ruxue was in a carriage, fortunate enough to enjoy the treatment of an imperial consort .
“The bulls should be fast enough to reach the first city of Heavenly Witchcraft Division, Sin Edge . ” The strategist said while waving his feathered fan .
Feiyun rode on his scaled tiger, adorned in red armors and looking quite gallant . He stared at the way ahead and chatted: “Strategist Mo, I see big flaws in your cultivation . ”
The strategist slightly trembled after hearing this . He sighed in response: “Lowly ones like us are lucky to get an incomplete merit law . My current achievement is already a blessing from heaven . ”
His merit law was very ordinary and could only reach peak sixth-level Heaven’s Mandate at best . He would never be able to reach the seventh level .
In fact, this showed his amazing talents and comprehension . If he had access to a top merit law since youth, perhaps he would be a Giant long ago and join the upper echelon of Jin .
Giants were the top elders in any clan . Only one would appear among tens of millions of people . Only one out of ten half-steps could become a Giant .
“I have a top manual from the old king, Spring and Autumn’s Six Laws . It is an art from the Daoist Gate . If you can cultivate the six arts to perfection with great comprehension, you’ll be able to become an Enlightened Being . ” Feiyun took out a leather scroll .
“ . . . ” The strategist shuddered while gritting his teeth . How could he not be moved with this merit law in front of him? However, he couldn’t take it right away . This was a priceless treasure that couldn’t be given away just like that . He felt that the whole thing was surreal .
Just grabbing a scroll enough to turn him into a Giant was beyond his wildest dreams, let alone one for becoming an Enlightened Being .
Feiyun said: “If I tell you to take it, take it . Don’t be so indecisive at your age . ”
The strategist patted his hands before carefully accepting the scroll; his hands still trembling . He pulled on the iron reins to stop the bull before getting down on the ground to kneel: “Thank you, Your Excellency, for bestowing this merit law to me . I will not let you down . Just say the words and I will follow your command until death . ”
Feiyun said: “Strategist Mo, rise . The court naturally wouldn’t mistreat sect masters like you who have joined us . ”
The strategist was moved to tears .
Feiyun took out another fifty first-ranked pills . They floated above his palm like jewels and emitted a faint glow . They then flew over and fell into the hand of the fifty soldiers, one each . He did the same with another fifty spirit stones .
These soldiers were even more excited than the strategist . They got on their knees at the same time: “We vow loyalty and devotion to the dynasty and Your Excellency!”
They were at grand completion God Base and belonged to the elites of the army . However, they have never used spirit pills and spirit stones before, only ordinary medicines when wounded .
Even a first-ranked spirit pill was considered a great treasure . The spirit stones were even more precious . One was enough to trade for 300,000 gold coins, enough for their entire family to live in luxury for a lifetime .
He was too generous . The eyes of these soldiers changed while looking at him .
A while ago, they thought that he was too young and weren’t that convinced . But now, they became obedient, thinking that the future was quite bright following him .
When they came back to the camp, this story would definitely spread . Every soldier will know of the benefits when following Feiyun . This future result was his real goal .
The troops moved on with unprecedented morale . Meanwhile, Feiyun entered the carriage and took out a red spirit grass . It had three growing young leaves, shiny and wet . They looked like three separate flames with powerful spirit energy gestating within .
This was a 5,000-year-old Red Cloud Spirit Grass stolen from the Grand Tutor by Bi Ningshuai .
It usually grew in areas with extreme heat and extreme yang affinity . At one hundred years of age, it could be used as medicine or refined into physical-empowering ointments for a child . It would strengthen the muscles and bones, resulting in a better physical constitution .
A 1,000-year-old one was priceless and coveted by top cultivators for immensely effective physical tempering .
This particular one in Feiyun’s hand had great medicinal effectiveness . Even a seventh-level Giant wouldn’t dare to use it directly because their body wouldn’t be able to handle the hot affinity within . It had the same temperature as a nether flame .
That’s why they would need to give it to a high-ranking alchemist in order to refine it into a Red Cloud Pill for consumption .
Feiyun didn’t need to do so . His body was tougher than a Giant’s so he could directly refine it .
“I can’t reach the sixth-level so quickly but if I can refine this root, I might be able to create a second phoenix bone . ”
Feiyun didn’t only focus on energy cultivation but also the Immortal Phoenix Physique . This physical cultivation was at the second stage, Bone Refinement .
He had created the heart bone and now, it was time for the second - the wisdom bone .
It was one of the twenty-nine bones on top of the head . This particular one was at the very top of the skull .
Grand completion of this physique required 999 phoenix bones, allowing one to live for 90,000 years . Feiyun had only managed to cultivate 206 bones in his previous life . Each bone created would greatly boost one’s physical power .
With this second bone, he would be able to fight against a Giant without using spirit energy and release the force of seven dragon-tigers . That’s his true abilities; his cultivation would become inconsequential .
People usually only noticed cultivation realms and levels . Why were historical geniuses able to defeat those above their level? Because their constitution was far superior . Physical prowess combined with cultivation resulted in an explosive battle potential .
The Immortal Phoenix Physique sought to improve this physical prowess . Reaching one hundred bones would turn him into a mythical-level genius .
As he was cultivating inside the carriage, a yellow hawk flew out of the thicket nearby . It circled around for a bit before flapping its ten-meter-long wings towards a city .
The Third Lord of Heavenly Witchcraft Division, Shi Zhenxiang, sat inside a majestic fort made out of stones . The hawk landed before him and issued loud screeching . No one but him understood it .
“Haha! Feiyun, you’re actually coming here with only fifty soldiers? I’ll make sure you never leave this place . ” He has been coveting the beautiful girl next to Feiyun and hasn’t forgotten about Feiyun’s thrust .
He knew that Feiyun would reach Sin Edge tonight so he personally came in order to kill Feiyun . Just thinking about Bai Ruxue’s enchanting figure made the wait torturous .
