Spirit Vessel - Chapter 619

Chapter 619: 619





Terrible birds and beasts gathered in the mountain range . Feiyun naturally tried his best to avoid them and took a longer path .

He saw many reclusive sects during the trip, prosperous with tens of thousands of members . Of course, he saw many reduced to ruins too .

As time passed, fewer sects stood on the way, replaced by more pristine thickets and towering mountains .

Ordinary people couldn’t get through this area . Eventually, he saw trees that have grown for thousands of years and were hundreds of meters high . They looked like heavenly umbrellas with branches home to the great birds .

They were closer and closer to Ancient Jiang Prefecture .

Due to the xenophobic nature of its inhabitants, not even the great sects wanted to expand here . This resulted in desolation .

“Screech!” A bird with twenty-meter long wings howled . It had black feathers and iron break, spewing the stench of blood .

It soared down towards Feiyun’s scaled tiger, treating it as food .

Feiyun was cultivating on the beast’s back and felt this incoming pressure . His weapon essence flew out and turned into a long spear, directly piercing the bird’s stomach . It flew around inside and devastated the bird’s innards before flying back out .

The great bird fell into a deep mountain stream nearby .

“Raa!” Birds of the same size suddenly rushed out of the thicket and blotted out the sun, full of aggression .

The tiger became intimidated while issuing nervous roars .





Feiyun stood up, looking quite cool . Each spear thrust of his could take down a bird . He danced around in the sky and stirred a rain of blood and feathers . It didn’t take long before he killed a hundred or so .

“Raaa!” He floated in the air and let out the cries of ten thousand beasts .

The area suddenly became quiet . Several more powerful birds backed off after hearing this roar .

The Myriad Beast Physique had this intimidating effect .

“This is only the back part of Heaven’s Equal . Once we get into Endless Land in Jiang, stronger beasts will show up . I heard there is an ape taller than thirty meters there with dragon-like claws . It severed the arm of a Paramount Giant with a single slash . Someone else spotted a red fish as big as a mountain with two big wings, looking like a Kun in the legends . ” Bai Ruxue spoke with a serious tone .

“That’s only a Kun’s descendant . The real thing has wings spanning for 90,000 miles . Nevertheless, it should still be able to swallow an Enlightened Being, definitely a lord in these forests . ” Feiyun said .

He ordered the tiger to pull back its wings and land on the ground .

This place had numerous powerful monsters . Flying in the sky made one a living target facing numerous assaults . Going on the ground was safer, albeit slower .

They saw many nests and lairs across three mountains . Inside were human and animal skeletons . These beasts were strong enough to kill weaker cultivators and drag them back to their nest .


The trees were tall enough to blot out the sun . The atmosphere was moist with layers of leaves on the ground . Inside were squiring insects and unknown creatures .

A normal human would die within one hour of being inside this thicket .

“The people of Ancient Jiang are born with amazing physical strength . Heretical cultivators and slave traders sometimes capture them and sell for a high price . Some treat them as animals, making them pull carriages or fight beasts for entertainment, resulting in deaths in the ring . Outsiders don’t treat them as humans, only slaves . This is why some tribes of Jiang are very xenophobic . The stronger ones are actually cannibals . Only the caravan traders are really spared . ” She elaborated .





Making money required courage, and the traders traveling through Jiang had plenty . They needed to watch out for the locals on top of the various monsters . Of course, the profits were handsome as well .

Trading cheap rock salt to the Jiang could net them furs valued at a thousand gold coins . Or, a bundle of cloth could fetch medicinal grass costing 100,000 coins somewhere else .

Feiyun said: “Humans require mutual respect to co-exist . No one can handle being treated like an animal . If they think the Jiang are animals, the Jiang will really act like animals against them . ”

Feiyun was also viewed as an outsider since he was a half-demon . Others have called him a “beast”, “devil”, “demonspawn” . . .

Why should he respect those who don’t respect him?

Ruxue’s beautiful voice answered: “After we leave this area, there will be a camp of the martial army . They guard Jiang Pass, one must get through it to get to the Jiang Prefecture . ”

They spent four days through this thicket before seeing people and the sun again .

Jiang Pass was built during the first generation of Jin . In the beginning, it was meant to prevent slave trading since that would result in conflicts and chaos . However, people began bribing the commanders here so the rules became lax . The army eventually stopped interfering with the slave trade .

As time passed, they became vigilant towards the Jiang and were meant to stop civil unrest and rebellions .

Of course, the Jiang could co-exist with ordinary humans during a time of peace . One could see Jiang members selling furs and medicine in this area, bartering with cultivators .

This pass was massive with city walls spanning for hundreds of miles, almost like a black mountain range .

As one came closer, they could sense the majestic aura of the pass . After entering, there were no soldiers in sight, only shops set up among the wilderness . Well-dressed young masters and powerful experts were looking to buy things from the large tribe members .





They were selling rare furs, stones, and horns as big as a water basin . Medicines and various weapons could be found as well .

The cultivators’ shops consisted of big containers of salt, cloth, treasures…

These shops were very simple . Even the best one only had a few wooden stands . No one wanted to set up an actual building in this place .

It was evening once the tiger-riding duo made it into the pass .

Many Jiangs were gathering up their items since it was late . They put the merchandise on their large qilin bulls’ back and left .

The human cultivators were also putting away their own stuff to leave .

The crowded area became desolate in just one hour . Not even a straw mat was left on the ground .

Feiyun jumped down from his tiger and asked an old man in a blue robe: “Uncle, may I ask why everyone is leaving in a hurry?”

The old man was cautious towards this stranger but after seeing Feiyun’s appearance and youthfulness on top of having a beautiful companion, he became less vigilant . The guy didn’t look like an evil heretic: “No one dares to stay here after dark because beasts or a tribe of giants might attack . ”

Feiyun nodded . He had heard about the death of Grand Wisdom Master Jing Feng . The Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess has become the ruler of the Heaven Worship Tribe .

This resulted in great instability . The three main tribes had nonstop battles that could spread to the pass .

Moreover, the beasts in this area were strong enough to attack the gate as well, especially during nighttime when they became more active .

This was the reason why this rather large city had no buildings and shops . What was the point if they could be trampled and destroyed in one night?

“These traders can’t all leave so soon after making the long journey, right?” Feiyun asked .

The old man replied: “They are staying at an inn named Spirit Domain two hundred miles away and will return again tomorrow to set up shops . ”

“The beasts don’t attack that place?”

The old man looked at Feiyun with a look of surprise: “Young man, this is your first time here?”

Feiyun nodded .

“No wonder why you don’t know about Spirit Domain . In a radius of 18,000 miles, this inn is the safest yet most dangerous place . As long as one keeps their head down and pay a little fee, the sirs working at the inn will let you have a place to sleep . ” The old man has finished putting his items on two bulls .

Feiyun smiled in response: “Why are you calling inn workers sir?”

“Let me tell you something, when a half-step Giant sees the inn matron’s dog, they’ll have to call it sir too . ” The old man explained with good intention: “It’s best if you stay humble at the inn, or this safe haven will become your place of death . ”

The night grew darker . The cold gales at night sounded like the roars of the beasts in the mountain .

Feiyun acknowledged the man’s advice before jumping back on the tiger, following him towards the inn two hundred miles away .
