Spirit Vessel-Chapter 1086: Fourth Prince Of The Golden Crow
Chapter 1086: Fourth Prince Of The Golden Crow
A grave all alone amidst the forest, looking rather sad. No one knew that the corpse beneath used to be a supreme beauty and that she was a saint capable of wondrous acts.
A dead saint was no different than anyone else.
“If you weren’t with her, how did you know what happened? How are you two related? And who’s the man?” Feiyun asked.
The woman in blue pondered for a bit before shaking her head, not answering the questions.
She put down the broom and crossed the stone bridge into the sect. Feiyun had no idea what her intention was in bringing him here. A woman’s heart was just impossible to predict.
Nonetheless, after she came to the temple, her voice echoed: “I will meditate for three days to recover. You all best not touch anything here or run around lest you want to die. If you want spirit medicine, go to the farm in the back.”
With that, the door to the temple closed.
“There’s a farm?” The turtle heard this and became excited. It immediately flew to the back.
There was indeed an alchemy farm floating in the air. Numerous plots could be seen. Some were connected to other dimensions or peaks.
Spirit springs served as irrigation. The grass and roots were all precious. Most were older than ten thousand years, some surpassed several hundred thousand years.
Feiyun picked several meant for healing. He ate them and started the healing process.
He returned to the bamboo forest and bowed three times before the grave while reading the engraved words.
They were carved by a saint and contained her dao. This became a worldly law of sorts. Feiyun became immersed in it and decided to meditate.
Each inch of this place was special and was infected by her saint energy and law. This was especially true for the memorial tablet.
It was not made from a stone slab but rather, the condensation of her spirit energy. He found it to be a boundless dimension with hidden mysteries.
An inner core floated inside him and released sacred energies. It tried to understand the laws in the tablets and started to harmonize.
Other laws nearby started floating toward him as well. With that, the inner core gradually grew larger and brighter.
As he was trying to understand the tablet, a group of genius was at the base of the mountain. They came from all over the world and were extraordinarily powerful.
Of course, they were not young in mortal age. All were below one thousand years yet have already entered Heaven’s Emergence.
“This spirit mountain was once the abode of a saint, this is a true treasure ground. Do not be loud, everyone, don’t disturb the seniors here.” A female genius from the devil butterfly race said.
She had a pair of thin wings with seven colors. Her breasts were proud and tall. Her hair had the same color scheme as her wings. Everyone stole glances at her, completely infatuated.
A prince from the golden crow who was walking in front sneered: “I heard the same, but my version is different. The saint here used to be a lotus that absorb enough worldly energy to gain a body. Unfortunately, she was a fool and fell in love with a human male. The guy tricked her and she died from sadness.”
A princess from the bright eagle race was adorned in black armor. She scowled: “Golden Crow Prince, are you not afraid of being punished?”
“The lotus saint died three hundred years ago. During that moment, the world mourned her passing with a rain of blood and sad songs. Numerous visual phenomena manifested so everyone knew about her death. The spirit energy here dissipated as well. Why should I be afraid of a dead saint?”
“I’m sure there are many treasures here still, would be nice to get some.” A different genius suggested.
Others agreed right away and became excited.
The devil butterfly genius frowned and said: “No, the saint’s soul might still be here. It is best to not disturb the peace of this place. It is beyond our ability.”
The golden crow prince wore fiery armor. His brows were sharp like swords as he said: “Please, I will even dig out her corpse. That might be the most valuable treasure here.”
The girl only sighed and flapped her wings, deciding to follow the group.
“A human-shaped ginseng!”
“Seven-colored ginseng!”
These geniuses were both talented on top of being gifted spirit treasures from their seniors. They opened many formations and seals, digging out valuable alchemy materials.
Their pockets were getting filled, and so did their happiness level.
“Wow, do you feel the spirit energy from this spring? It’ll be great to water alchemy plants with.” The golden crow prince laughed and took out a blue bottle that suck in all the water.
They eventually made it outside of the temple.
A handsome male with a pair of ox horns and a third eye on the forehead noticed the jade stair. He focused strength into his hands and pulled up one of the steps: “Hey, this stair has merit laws written on them. There are forty-eight pages? Haha, mine!”
“There must be more treasures up there. Let’s work together to open the gate, maybe we’ll even find a saint artifact up there.”
However, someone noticed Feiyun by the forest and said: “There’s someone learning the sacred dao over there.”
“A grave… and a tablet? Don’t tell me that belongs to the lotus saint?”
Everyone looked over and focused on the tablet.
“That must be it, I can sense an immense dao over there. It is a sacred item.” The golden crow prince became emotional.
“Who is that human?” The bright eagle princess wondered.
“Hmph, just a wretched human, I hate them the most. If he gets in my way, I will devour him.” The golden crow prince snorted.
Some thought that he was being reckless and wanted to stop him. Alas, they knew that he was strong enough to deal with most situations.
He walked into the forest and didn’t bother looking at Feiyun. He reached for the tablet with his gauntlet but he couldn’t touch it before pulling back.
A wave of energy broke through the gauntlet and left a bloody wound on his wrist.
“Touch this tablet and I will cut off your hand.” Feiyun opened his eyes and said menacingly.
This infuriated the prince who was holding his wrist. Golden crows were an immemorial race, far stronger than humans.
Human overlords needed to bow down before him, let alone this human. This was utterly unacceptable.
“I want to see you try.” The prince became engulfed in flames as he unleashed a mighty palm strike.
He was at the peak second level of Heaven’s Emergence so his power was considerable.
Feiyun created a mudra seal with one hand and met the strike. Buddhist runes sent him flying right away.
The prince felt a deep pain in his palm as if it was exploding. He couldn’t believe how strong this human was.
The other geniuses were surprised as well. Even third-level Heaven’s Emergence humans couldn’t beat him.
“Let me see.” The horned man with three eyes summoned a trident and immediately attacked.
This was a fifteenth-ranked weapon, ancient and mighty.
A halo appeared behind Feiyun and easily stopped it. He pointed at the trident and sent it flying as well.
The horned genius found his hands completely numb, hence losing the grip.
