Immortal Path to Heaven
chapter-1052

It was definitely a dream.

Feng Xinxiao was stunned. He only had one thought at the moment, ‘What law is this? Isn’t it… Isn’t it too terrifying?’

This refreshed his worldview. Being able to absorb power was simply a bug.

Feng Xinxiao did not know that Ou Yangming was not feeling well either. The power contained in the black hair was too strong. In just an instant, the internal organs in the young fellow’s body were shifted. As long as the power was a little stronger, he would definitely have to pay a huge price if he wanted to dissolve it like this again. Unfortunately, Feng Xinxiao did not know any of that. Therefore, at this moment, he felt that the human powerhouse in front of him was like an iceberg. What he saw was always just a corner, and it was unfathomable.

Big Yellow and King Kong exchanged a look and heaved a long sigh of relief in their hearts.

Feng Xiang looked at the broken cauldron, and his eyes lit up. He sent a voice transmission to Lil’ Red and asked, ‘Feng Lin, how did you know him? Tell me and don’t miss out on any details.’

This was the first time Lil’ Red saw Feng Xiang acting so solemnly. It did not hide anything and told him everything that happened in the lower realm. After saying that, it lightly jumped onto Feng Xiang’s shoulder and waited for him to continue.

‘Are you saying that the first time you felt the flame, it was purple? And it made you feel a sense of fear?’ Feng Xiang asked telepathically.

Lil’ Red’s wings moved upward. It looked around then nodded slightly.

Feng Xiang did not reply, but the light in his eyes was bright to the extreme.

He looked at Ou Yangming as if he was looking at a rare treasure. That gaze gave Lil’ Red goosebumps, and a chill ran down its spine.

Of course, at this time, the ones who were the most shocked were the phoenix powerhouses who followed Feng Xinxiao.

They exchanged glances. A top-grade Venerable One stroked his feathers and asked in fear, “I’m… I’m dreaming, right? Come—hit me.”

“Bang!” The phoenix powerhouse beside him knocked his head hard. “Hiss, hiss…” He glared and questioned, “Why did you use so much force? It hurts!”

“Hiss, hiss…” The other phoenix powerhouses knew this was not a dream. Waves of gasping sounds resounded in their ears.

It was not that they were ignorant, but there was really no comparison between Venerable Ones and Rulers.

They had seen Feng Xinxiao merely blowing a breath and causing the physical body of a spirit beast that was a top-grade Venerable One to crumble. It was as if the flesh and blood on its body had been cleanly removed by a sharp carving knife. Now, such a ruthless person suffered a great loss from a Venerable One. Would anyone believe it? It was simply unbelievable.

Just as their minds were in a mess, they saw the Yin-Yang Fish flying up and down in mid-air. It was indescribably mysterious, and it shook out 2 arcs.

One was white while the other was black. They intersected with each other.

At this moment, the brilliant colors in the world seemed to have disappeared. Only white and black remained.

Feng Xinxiao’s gaze became unprecedentedly solemn as the flesh on his body trembled. He only felt his heart palpitate. It was as if there was some sort of unspeakable great danger looming over him.

Black and white—they seemed simple, but they were not at all. They contained the charm of the simplicity of the great path.

As the lines got closer to Feng Xinxiao, he had the urge to flee in a panic. This feeling came suddenly and inexplicably, but it was real. Even his eyes looked numb and lost, losing their compelling brilliance.

It was also at this moment that an expressionless voice came from a distant pavilion. “Enough!”

As this voice reverberated, time, space, and even the mysterious laws slowed down. They were fixed in mid-air by a peculiar force. This voice set off thunderbolts that fell from the sky, directly crushing the white and black lines.

Even Ou Yangming was shaken out of that unusual state. The Yin-Yang Fish in the sky dispersed with a loud bang.

Ou Yangming staggered backward. He felt a majestic pressure on his shoulder, and even the blood in his body stopped flowing.

“Not bad!” The emotionless voice sounded again as if it never appeared. The pressure on Ou Yangming’s body suddenly lightened, the wind slowly blew the leaves, and the world returned to peace.

Feng Xinxiao’s face was slightly pale. He looked deeply at Ou Yangming with a complicated expression. After a few breaths, he turned around and left.

Feng Xiang glanced at the buildings in the distance. He later turned around and gently bit his teeth. He walked to Ou Yangming’s side and asked with concern, “Brother Ou, are you alright?”

Ou Yangming lifted his chin and calmly looked into his eyes. After a moment, he nodded and answered with a smile, “I’m fine!”

Only then did Feng Xiang take a deep breath and asked in a low voice, “Brother Ou, forgive me for being presumptuous, but may I know the level of the Heavenly Phoenix Fire in your spiritual world?”

“I have no idea.” Ou Yangming’s eyes turned black as he spread out his hands in a domineering manner.

“As expected.” Feng Xiang gently nodded. After seeing the puzzled look on Ou Yangming’s face, he took the initiative to explain, “The thing is, the Phoenixes’ internal has divided the Heavenly Phoenix Fire into 7 major levels according to the richness of bloodlines.” After saying this, he deliberately paused for a moment. Clearly, he was trying to whet everyone’s appetite. This time, even Lil’ Red became curious and kept chirping on his shoulder, urging him to hurry up and continue.

Feng Xiang coughed and cleared his throat, “The lowest level is red, but it’s one of the most seen ones. Following that, it’s orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and finally purple. However, the purple fire only exists in legends. The Phoenixes have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, but it has never appeared before. Even the blue fire has only appeared once.”

When Ou Yangming heard this, a storm raged in his heart.

In the beginning, the Heavenly Phoenix Fire in his spiritual world was purple.

Nonetheless, his face did not show it at all. He looked at Feng Xiang calmly. He knew that since Feng Xiang said this, there must be something else that he was trying to say.

Sure enough, before Ou Yangming’s thoughts disappeared, Feng Xiang cupped his hands and said sincerely, “Brother Ou, I have an unreasonable request.” As he said this, he bent his legs and lowered his center of gravity, but the young fellow held him up with both hands.

“Big Brother Feng, you’re killing me. Get up first!” Ou Yangming said with a bitter smile.

This was Ou Yangming’s wittiness in the way of life as he would go with the flow. He understood that Feng Xiang had the intention of befriending him, so he changed the way he addressed the phoenix powerhouse. Changing the term of address from Brother Feng Xiang to Big Brother Feng made them much closer in an instant. The ways of the world were simple if one put more thought into them.

Feng Xiang’s mind was clear. He quickly grasped the key of Ou Yangming’s words and stood up. “Brother Ou, as you know, the Main Combat Sect has issued a challenge and is very powerful. On the other hand, my side has sent out all the capable blacksmiths. Now, we really don’t have anyone. Therefore, we’d like to ask you to fight on behalf of the Peacemaking Sect.”

“Who was the phoenix powerhouse who stepped in to help earlier?” Ou Yangming did not answer. Instead, he looked up and asked an unrelated question out of the blue.

“Feng Tian—one of the strongest members of the Phoenixes!” Feng Xiang gave Ou Yangming a meaningful glance and answered with a smile.

“From the Main Combat Sect?” Ou Yangming asked again.

“Yes,” Feng Xiang answered.

Ou Yangming was silent for a moment before he responded softly, “I’m very interested in the Phoenixes’ refinement technique for flying boats.”

Feng Xiang laughed heartily after he heard this.

He raised his foot and led Ou Yangming and the 3 spirit beasts in while humbling himself.

This caused some of the phoenix powerhouses to be surprised. They all guessed who the human was. They could see that he was the core of the group.

Ou Yangming and his companions followed the small path made of spirit ores and arrived at a huge courtyard. How big was this courtyard? It was 3 kilometers in size and had all the necessary facilities. There were rockeries, small rivers, and green trees. Anything that one could imagine was here.

In the courtyard, Feng Xiang said, “Brother Ou, just call the servants if you need anything.”

“Thank you, Big Brother Feng!” Ou Yangming said politely.

“Ah, you’re being too distant. Feng Lin and I are brothers, and you’re still new here. If I don’t take care of you, who else should I take care of? To say the least, you saved me from danger.” Feng Xiang blinked, and his smile was gentle. The relationship between the two became much closer.

As expected of an old creature who had lived for a long time—he spoke and did things wonderfully.

Ou Yangming sighed internally and did not answer, but his expression became serious. Stepping on the pebbles in the small courtyard, he asked in a deep voice, “Big Brother Feng, why is the Main Combat Sect challenging you this time?” He already had an answer, but he still asked.

Feng Xiang quickened his steps and answered, “They want to show their strength and rope in the Neutral Sect, isolating us.”

“I’m not a member of the Phoenixes, but I can also participate in the competition?” Ou Yangming asked again.

Feng Xiang stopped and looked at the blue sky. The smile on his face turned cold. “Who said you’re not a member of the Phoenixes? If you have the Heavenly Phoenix Fire, you’re a part of us.” If anyone who was familiar with Feng Xiang saw his expression at the moment, they would know that someone was going to be in trouble.

Indeed, someone was going to be in trouble. Who would have thought that after the competition, at least 10% of the Neutral Sect would side with the Peacemaking Sect?

Feng Xiang sat for a while, drank a pot of tea, and left with Lil’ Red.

Ou Yangming watched as he left. He was very emotional. When he saw Feng Xiang in the Spiritual Realm, he could only look up to him. Now, he could call the phoenix powerhouse a brother. This was the benefit of having strength.

“No wonder both the Dragons and the Phoenixes want to get the origin power.” Ou Yangming smiled and sighed.

After Feng Xiang’s figure disappeared in the fog, Ou Yangming sat cross-legged and combed through the things that happened in this little bit of time. Whether they were big or small, he sorted them out seriously in his spiritual world.

He opened his eyes after an hour and said, “I accidentally got caught in the whirlpool between the Dragons and the Phoenixes. Now, they won’t allow me to get out even if I want to.”

Ou Yangming forcefully suppressed this thought and cast aside the distracting thoughts in his heart. He began to visualize the snow mountain in his spiritual world.

This habit had been carved into his soul. No matter how busy he was, he would take 2 hours to visualize the snow mountain.

Moreover, ever since he comprehended the laws, the speed at which the snow mountain was stacked multiplied.

This was also one of the biggest trump cards he had at the moment.
