Chapter 557: Chapter 327: Phoenix Clan Cave Sky?_2
“The way of the Immortal values life, fellow daoist, your cautiousness is understood. However, excessive caution may be counterproductive. If we were to enter the secret realm with such vigilance, it may provoke a strong reaction from the original inhabitants of the secret realm. The conflict may escalate beyond diplomacy; we may find ourselves in a direct confrontation instead.”
Toting the Demon Nation on their journey into the secret realm is not a common sight. Even these enlightened beings, as knowledgeable as they are, are experiencing this for the first time.
No matter their illustrious backgrounds, they have never been treated this way. They usually enter the secret realm for training and exploration. If every expedition were to be carried out in this grand manner, then it wouldn’t be an adventure. Any danger would be obliterated before it even touches them.
“Then, we are prepared to face that confrontation. If one is stronger, they will fight. If they can’t fight, they will withdraw and strategize!”
Feng Qing’an waved his hand nonchalantly. Seeing Feng Qing’an’s determination, the opposing elites exchanged uneasy glances; they were ultimately left with no choice but to give in.
They couldn’t possibly force Feng Qing’an into submission, even though each of them possesses an Immortal artifact – some even own two.
Their biggest problem was their division; a proportion of them stood in support of Feng Qing’an. In case of a conflict, it would be difficult to predict the outcome. However, the ultimate fate of the victor would inevitably be grim. With a rational assessment of the situation, they all ruled out the option of conflict.
Even those who harbored discontent against Feng Qing’an and wanted to act against him had to show restraint and wait for an opportune moment.
“After we enter the secret realm, I entrust my safety to Brother Feng.”
Under Hua Qingyu’s contemptuous gaze, Jin Suyan, as beautiful and delicate as a peony, moved closer to Feng Qing’an proactively.
Regardless of Feng Qing’an’s commanding stature, even the reputable disciples of the sects had to be cordial to him. As for those less familiar, they would keep their mouths shut, provided they are sensible.
“Rest assured, Fairy Jin. Once we enter the secret realm, you can entrust yourself to me. If even a hair is misplaced, you can hold me accountable.”
On seeing the attention-seeking disciple of the Danding Zong approaching him, Feng Qing’an unceremoniously stretched out his hand intending to wrap his arm around her waist and pull her into an embrace.
“Tee hee, Brother Feng, why are you so eager? We haven’t entered the secret realm yet!”
Spotting Feng Qing’an’s impetuous hand, Danding Zong’s disciple nimbly sidestepped his embrace intending to maintain a deceptive appearance of intimacy while consciously keeping a distance.
“It won’t be too late once we enter the secret realm!”
“Alright, then let’s enter the secret realm first.”
Looking at his empty hand nonchalantly, Feng Qing’an did not show any signs of irritation or annoyance. He wasn’t someone to be trifled with; he was no longer the innocent young boy he used to be.
“Please present your key.”
Jin Suyan heaved a sigh of relief seeing Feng Qing’an cease his advances.
Frankly speaking, if this Daoist did not have a dubious background, and if he was not involved with a Ghost Immortal, she wouldn’t mind being his Daoist couple. Feng Qing’an’s talents in cultivating the immortal way were undeniable.
However, given the current circumstances, unless one is out of their mind, they wouldn’t think of associating with him. He wasn’t capable of enduring the wrath of a Ghost Immortal, especially when the Ghost Immortal can sever their connection to the countermeasures prepared by their sects and schools. This was more alarming than the power displayed by the Ghost Immortal.
“Alright.”
Feng Qing’an casually reached for the Phoenix Key he held. Jin Suyan hastily took out her half of the key as well.
As soon as the two parts of the key appeared at the correct location, a magnetic attraction instantly formed between them.
Without requiring any additional maneuver, the two keys conjoined immediately, transforming into an impressive phoenix, spreading its wings and taking flight.
“The Ghost King Sacrifice!”
Seeing this spectacular sight, Jin Suyan couldn’t hide her joy and reminded them out loud. The elites also displayed excitement on their faces. Such a spectacle was an undeniable sign of the opening of the secret realm.
“Go!”
Feng Qing’an, who was already prepared, casually waved his hand. The five Ghost Wolf Kings standing by his side immediately opened their mouths, spitting out the Ghost King’s Yin Body that they had held in their mouths earlier.
“Spare me!”
“I will submit!”
“Master…”
Sorrowful screams and wails kept resounding. Those who could become Ghost Kings were naturally outstanding individuals who understood the times. However, Feng Qing’an didn’t need outstanding individuals now; what he needed were sacrifices capable of unlocking the secret realm.
Clang, clang~
The phoenix, initially only the size of a palm, soared in the sky and then rushed toward a Ghost King closest to her. With its slim beak opening, the phoenix aimed a delicate peck. After being released, the ghost quickly expanded to a size of a hundred feet. The Ghost King issued a sorrowful cry; without any means to resist, it was sucked into the phoenix’s mouth.
Clang, clang!
After consuming the Ghost King, the phoenix immediately let out a loud phoenix cry. Its palm-sized body quickly grew and expanded in the wind. This was just the beginning.
Under the gaze of numerous elites and the Ghost Wolf Demon Clan, the phoenix treated the Ghost Kings as if they were insects. One bite after another devoured the Ghost Kings, and within a short moment, they were nearly all consumed.
After consuming all the Ghost Kings that Feng Qing’an had prepared, the phoenix, which was originally just a secret key, had transformed into a divine existence with a wingspan of a hundred feet. All aspects of the world dimmed, stirring restlessness across all wilds. The divine light emanating from the sanctity swept through the heavens and earth.
Clang, clang~
Under the watchful and awe-filled eyes of the numerous elites and Demon Clan, the magnificent phoenix spread its wings. With a gentle flap, a fracture in space appeared. Space was torn apart, revealing an expanse of divine land filled with Immortal Spirits. The grand and vast aura rushed toward the crowd, taking their breaths away.
Amidst the exquisite divine mountain, a silver dragon waterfall fell from the sky. Among the pill cliffs and peculiar rocks, there stood immortal divine trees, and abundant spirit grass released a fragrant aroma. Even stranger, divine flowers bloomed, odd trees swayed, immortals like white deer and foxes appeared and disappeared. Divine cranes and black storks danced in the air, and within the clouds, dragons occasionally appeared.
On the towering jade platform, a solitary Qilin Beast lay in the dust-free area; Zhilan plants accompanied them. On the magnificent cliffs, purple clouds churned, fragrant spirit grass fluttered, and colorful phoenixes danced and soared. Auspicious aura lingered, and multitudinous rays of sunlight scattered. It was truly a supreme pure land that left everyone awestruck.
“This is…”
Several elites showed shock in their eyes as they recognized the land, aware of its significance. However, it was Hua Qingyu from the Star Lodging Sect who exclaimed,
“Cave Sky?!”
The shock in her voice and her undisguised excitement were evident, regardless of her wealth of experience, it was impossible for her to remain indifferent to a place like Cave Sky.
“”How can it be Cave Sky? How can it be?”
Jin Suyan was both surprised and terrified.
She was excited because the secret realm she had found was truly a Cave Sky left by a phoenix. Thus, the phoenix blood essence she was seeking would certainly be present.
She found the right place this time, but it was too right. A junior like her probably didn’t even have the chance to get involved.
“Hehe! Feng Qing’an, Fellow Daoist Feng, you’d better be careful!”
Someone chuckled coldly, taking out a talisman radiating purple light and igniting it without hesitation.
“During my disciple’s journey, a Phoenix Clan’s Cave Sky was discovered. I am reporting to the ancestor, requesting the ancestor to descend and arrange…”
“Feng Qing’an, I must report this to my ancestor, I’m sorry!”
Seeing this, Hua Qingyu hesitated for only a moment before speaking to Feng Qing’an. At the same time, she also took out a jade talisman and crushed it with a gentle squeeze.
