Spirit Vessel

Chapter 1082: Questions

A race required several capable masters in order to survive. He wasn’t a stranger to Heavenly Witchcraft God. He had heard about this person back in Jin. [1]

“He is one of the few humans who is respected by the demons. He had many accomplishments in the premodern era. Most importantly, he fought with a phoenix queen ten thousand years ago, crushing space itself, and successfully stopped her from punishing the humans.”

“However, he stopped appearing afterward. Rumor has it that he has succumbed to injuries from that battle.”

“Even if this is true, it doesn’t diminish his prestige in the slightest. After all, being able to stop a phoenix queen is an incredible feat, enough to propel our race to the next level. The problem is, he was strong but his personality…”

She had grievances or even hatred in her eyes when talking about him. Alas, Feiyun wasn’t paying attention to her expression because he was occupied with something else.

There was something off about the timeline. Ten thousand years ago, he was still the phoenix clan master. How come he didn’t hear anything about it? Was this after his death?

According to this woman, he seemed to be more famous than Shui Yueting. However, Yueting was a saint, was he also a saint?

If this was the case, how could he be injured by a phoenix queen? In Feiyun’s memories, all seven queens were only at the ninth level.

Even if phoenixes were stronger than humans, they couldn’t beat a saint.

“What was his realm?” He hurriedly asked.

“No one knows the exact, but definitely the saint level.”

“What about the phoenix queen?” He asked again.

She stared at him and responded: “The seven phoenix queens are supreme creations. All of them are saints who would be worshipped by all.”

“Ugh…” He suddenly have an unbearable headache and vomited a mouthful of blood. He grabbed his head due to the pain and rolled around on the boat, eventually going as far as hitting his own head.

How?! Why?! How are they saints?! Why is my memory completely different?!

How did I not see a single saint or anything relating to one in my previous life?

Could this not be the same world? Did the ship take me to a different world? No, there are so many similarities.

The headache only continued to increase.

“What is happening to you?” The woman stared at Feiyun who was rolling in agony.

She grabbed his wrist and opened her eyes: “So much chaos… human, evil, dragon, phoenix bones? A phoenix soul and a dragon soul? Wait… 108,000 saint intents… How can he still be alive? Who did this to him?”

Blue flames flew out of her eyes and surrounded Feiyun, making him sit up. She then placed her palms against his.

Blue energy coursed around them in a full revolution. He slowly regained his sanity and the pain dispersed.

She then recalled all of her energy and sat down, looking out the ship into the darkness: “You cultivate a top merit law of the phoenixes, Immortal. You somehow have the blood of dragons and a phoenix soul too.”

“Dragons will not allow a half-blood to live. Moreover, you must have stolen this merit law from the phoenixes. It is a miracle that you’re still alive after offending these two races.” She said.

“You will reveal my secret?” He opened his eyes and asked.

“We don’t even know each other’s names, why do I care enough to tell anyone?” She said.

The boat seemed to be still but in reality, it was moving at an insane pace. It eventually stopped before ancient ruins.

She put away the boat and landed on top of a floating boulder. Before her was a broken palace.

Nine stone pillars stood standing; they were as large as peaks. On the surface were crimson runes.

This palace seemed to have been carved out of the darkness. The entrance had ghastly runes that were flashing creepily.

“How cold.” Feiyun complained despite his cultivation.

She gazed at the plaque above the entrance. It was carved out by a master swordsman with two engraved characters.

Feiyun didn’t recognize them. Nonetheless, he felt his soul being pulled away.

“This looks like the gate of hell.” He activated his phoenix gaze and suffered a backlash.

Loud howls came from the entrance right away. He used his Buddhist domain and turned into a golden cocoon.

The nether wind still sent him flying into the darkness. Once he returned, he saw the woman standing in front of a pillar.

Her hair and dress fluttered to the wind, revealing her gorgeous figure. She took her time with each step.

He understood that the closer to the entrance, the more mysteries. The laws and dao in the world were gathered here. Each step had a distance of ten million miles.

A weak cultivator would never make it to the gate.

“Stop, intruder.” A powerful yet hoarse voice sounded.

“I am here to look for a soul.” She stopped while holding a bamboo basket.

“No one can take a soul away from here.” The cold voice answered.

She raised the bamboo basket and asked: “The vitality of a blood-dragon for a soul?”

“Say no more, leave. Mortal souls do not leave after entering.”

“You clearly stole her soul or she wouldn’t have aged that rapidly. Don’t pretend to be impartial, karma will come for you.” She placed the bamboo basket on the ground.

“None can judge me, insolent girl. Today will be your last then.” The voice threatened.

A blue radiance protected her. The dao and momentum of the area became her power, intensifying the glow. It eventually became as large as a star while she was in the center.

It rotated and disturbed the laws of this area, reducing boulders into dust. Light waves emanated from it like the force of a great ocean.

“Somebody save me! I have nothing to do with this, I’m just a dragon!” The creature inside the basket roared.

Feiyun used his phoenix wings to travel faster and grabbed the basket.

One wave towering at ten thousand meters came for him. He used his Swift Samsara to get several hundred thousand miles away before stopping.

He looked back and saw the blue radiance taking over the area. He threw a dragon stone and it was still reduced to dust by the light.

1. Was goddess last chapter. This is gender-neutral so I misinterpreted. Her dress is blue, not black; it is the same character but I have more context later on ☜contemporary romance
