Spirit Vessel - Chapter 561

Chapter 561: 561



More than 100,000 geniuses gathered at the imperial palace . Devilish monsters appeared each day so the competition was fierce and ladened with difficulties .

These geniuses would become the topics of discussion, and the demonic successor was one of them .

However, the majority only talked about the gambling hall and didn’t think that highly of his battle power . He was only among the mid-level .

The hottest characters were still Li Xiaonan, Beiming Potian, Dongfang Jingshui, and Prince Hongye . After all, they were historical geniuses, standing at the very top .

Of course, plenty of them tied to steal the two garments from Nangong Hongyan but failed after several attempts . She then disappeared from the capital completely . As long as she had the cloak, no one could find her unless she wished so .

***

The spirit stone hall of the Divine River Guard looked abandoned . Inside were several broken walls, more than ten meters tall . The workers there walked into this courtyard and instantly disappeared from sight . It was as if there was an invisible barrier taking them in .

In the last few days, more and more workers appeared . Some had unfamiliar faces, clearly new recruits .

Suddenly, a black glow flashed inside these broken walls . A youth stood there proudly, cloaked in black . His features were well-defined - brows as sharp as a sword . He stood there with a cold yet warm expression .

“Finally made it to the fourth level after nine days . Give me a sword!” Feiyun shouted .

A black sword with strands of blood circling around the edge flew out from one of the houses . It emitted a terrible power - a murderous tool that devours blood .



Feiyun created a palm to capture the sword . It struggled like a wild and disobedient dragon .

He forcefully subdued it and grabbed the hilt before slashing towards the house .

A plume of flame consisting of dozens of firebirds flew out . They looked quite real, more than ten meters long with a long beak as red as a sword . Its claws were as long as spears . The thing was completely covered in scales, blood-red feathers, and a fiery glow .

They were condensed from sword energy and carried a demonic aura like awakening ancient beasts crossing through the sky .

“Boom!” An old man rushed out of the house . His weapon was a treasure bottle . His long, white beard resembled steel strings . The bottle grew to a hundred meter tall, looking like a golden pagoda .

The sword energy slammed into the bottle and exploded .

The old man’s hair flew everywhere from the shockwave . He grabbed the bottle forced back to its initial size then kneeled: “Congratulation, Divine King . Your cultivation has improved . ”

“Elder Mo, rise . ” Feiyun ordered .

He was in charge of weaponry for Divine River and had prepared this sword, a first-level spirit treasure, for Feiyun . The workers only gave the battle exchange a quick glance before returning to their task .


Feiyun successfully refined two core pills to reach the fourth level, increasing his spirit energy by a large margin . He was a sleeping dragon . When the right opportunity presented itself, he would soar to the sky .

‘It’s a shame that Myriad Beast Physique hasn’t reached completion yet . ’ He tried to cultivate the art again and refined 9,998 beast souls . Alas, this became another bottleneck .



Myriad was a limiting number . For example, kings all wanted to rule for ten thousand years . There were plenty of proverbs and lines using this particular number in literature due to its symbolism .

“Must I cultivate the first phoenix bone before finishing his physique?”

Feiyun’s Immortal Phoenix Physique had two stages . He finished the blood transformation stage but the bone refinement had no result . After all, he had the body of a human, so the difficulty became a hundred times harder than before .

Moreover, the very first bone would act as the heart too . A human’s heart was made of flesh, so how could he turn it into a bone?

“There’s a problem! A big one!” Ningshuai suddenly ran into the spirit stone hall, wearing red trousers, straw shoes, and a big Buddhist hat .

Feiyun asked: “What’s wrong?”

The guy struggled for breath and was happy to see Feiyun: “You’re finally out . ”

“What’s happening?”

“After the first round, the one hundred best prodigies became known . The Crown Prince invited them to Supreme Beauty for a feast, acting as the princess’ older brother . ”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“Of course it is fine to have a party, but during the party, people made it hard for Miss Nangong . One said that she had killed his Senior Uncle and stole as spirit treasure . Next, another guy said that she had stolen his clan’s supreme treasure . ”

“What a joke, they just want to steal her two garments so they came up with these excuses and crimes . If she really wants something, she just needs to raise her hand and someone will bring it to her . ”

“Well yeah, but the guys wouldn’t give up . They couldn’t find Miss Nangong so they decided to capture Xue Wu and Yu Chan in order to force her out . That’s why I’m here to get some backup . If you still haven’t come out, I would have asked several seniors from Divine River to come help . ”

Feiyun noticed a red badge hanging on Ningshuai’s waist and became surprised: “You also got through?”

“Obviously, how would I be at that party if I didn’t?” Ningshuai proudly said .

Feiyun grabbed the badge and saw Ningshuai’s name on it, realizing that it wasn’t stolen . This thief was hiding his skills .

“Your Big Bro was able to get through it thanks to your two core pills, allowing me to get to the next level . I was so damn cool on stage, so many girls became my fans… Hey, wait, I’m not finished! Where are you going?” He shouted at the end .

“Supreme Beauty . ” Feiyun put on his hat again and started walking in the air while holding his black sword .

“They’re very unreasonable, you don’t want to bring more people?” Ningshuai also put on his hat and gave chase .

***

Supreme Beauty was filled today with many cultivators, mostly female - an unprecedented scene .

It’s just that the place had the top prodigies present . They would go on to become overlords later on . After a hundred years, they would become the leaders, perhaps even an emperor of a dynasty .

This was an apex gathering, unprecedented and might never happen again .

The crowd suddenly became loud: “The demonic successor and Big-head Buddha are here together . ”

Ten or so of these prodigies had mysterious backgrounds, such as these two . Though people could recognize their techniques, their true identity was questionable .

The demonic successor and the demonic being behind him instilled great pressure on the clans . This demonic being was on the same level as the ten greatest masters in the contemporary .

More than half of these masters have not shown up for a thousand years or so . Perhaps some have left Jin or died in the wilderness . A few focused on cultivation, rarely showing up in public .

If one were to redo the list, the demonic being would certainly be part of it . Thus, with such a monstrous backer, this successor could do whatever he wanted .

The battle in the underground gambling hall showed off his camp’s power even more - completely unstoppable .

Many girls screamed like crazy after seeing these two . Alas, they could only watch from the distance .

“Big-head Buddha is so mysterious . Don’t underestimate him because he’s short with tanned skin, he has a Dominating Armament so no one can touch him . ”

“When he was fighting against a young king, he used this one star-shifting technique, teleporting his opponent outside of the stage . A senior said that this technique is from the Dao Scripture . Two thousand years ago, the eighth volume of this scripture was stolen, so this technique was lost . ”

“Dao Scripture, Grave Palace Treasure-seeking Record, and Golden Silk Scripture are the three sacred canons of Jin, the most profound arts available . I wonder if this Buddha has the eighth volume right now . ”

Not only were the cultivators outside moved, but the geniuses inside Supreme Beauty became ready too . Their battle intents surged as some of them looked down the balcony to see the duo .
