2247 A handsome Tyrannical Song appears
And so, Zither Master Phoenix Bearing pecked at the other party without hesitation.
The peck was faster than lightning.
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing’s blow was merciless. She wanted to peck The golden man into pieces like a mere bug!
“As soon as I say peck, you start pecking? As an Immortal, are your means of attack really so poor?” the golden man said happily. He did not move away or dodge at all, letting Zither Master Phoenix Bearing’s beak peck at him.
“Clang~” A sound similar to a bell being struck sounded.
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing struck hard, but only caused a small scratch to appear on the golden man’s body, revealing his silver body beneath the golden paint.
How is this possible? Zither Master Phoenix Bearing stared at the golden man. She had not shown any mercy in that blow, but when she hit the golden man, instead of pecking him apart, the rebound force made her beak hurt.
At this time, her beak was nailed into the ground by the golden man’s side. If this was not her immortal cave, which had numerous layers of strengthening, her beak would have pecked a hole through the cave and caused a high-intensity earthquake in the secret realm.
The golden man continued to roll forward and backward like a tumbler. He stretched out his arms that had been grabbing his feet and shook them in front of the eyes of Zither Master Phoenix Bearing. Then, he said triumphantly, “Did you see that? If I punch you now, your eyes would get infected with my dermatophytosis.”
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing quickly shut her right eye, glaring at him through a slit.
“I have no malice toward you, so you should not react so aggressively,” said the golden man. He took out a bundle of tape and carefully pasted the tape on the area around the scratch on his body.
Afterward, he took out the bucket of golden paint and the brush, carefully covering the scratch on his body with paint before polishing it with sandpaper.
After patching up the scratch, the golden man removed the tape around the scratch and polished and waxed the area.
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing did not even know what expression to make to express her broken heart.
“Did you see that? I was only using golden paint no.1 this time, which is why you were able to leave a scratch on my body. If I used the golden paint that I used back in the Ancient Heavenly City, your attack would not have even managed to leave a single scratch on my body.” The golden man waved the paint bucket in his hand.
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing: “…”
She slowly raised her head and looked down at the golden man again.
At the same time, she replayed the scene of her previous attack in her mind.
“When I struck you just now, my power was weakened when my beak reached you.” Zither Master Phoenix Bearing’s voice was calm again. After returning to her senses, she raised her doubts.
The golden man said slowly, “That is because you relied on the path of the Heavenly Emperor to step into the Immortal Realm. Therefore, you are limited by the path of the Heavenly Emperor. This is a matter of course.”
When Zither Master Phoenix Bearing joined the Ancient Heavenly City, she was not an Immortal. She was different from big shots like the four Great Emperors, White Dragon Emperor, and Fairy Cheng Lin, who were already Immortals.
When she was enlightened and stepped into the Immortal Realm, she made use of the path of the Heavenly Emperor as a base.
Since she had borrowed the path of the Heavenly Emperor, her capabilities naturally became limited.
When Zither Master Phoenix Bearing heard this, she suddenly thought of a possibility.
Her body leaped up from her nest bed violently. She then stared at the golden man in shock. “You, you, you…”
“Yes, you have guessed correctly.” The golden man spread his arms out wide. “Right now, I… am the Heavenly Emperor! The path of the Heavenly City and the path of the Heavenly Emperor have been inherited by me!”
After Zither Master Phoenix Bearing leaped up into the air, she remained suspended in mid-air and did not fall. She shook her head vigorously and said, “This is impossible.”
“There is nothing impossible in this world. The wheel of fate continues to turn; it has simply favored me this year.” The golden man sat upright and put on a majestic display. “In fact, you should be able to sense it if you try hard enough, the fact that I am the Heavenly Emperor that is.”
The clawless bird looked like a hydrogen balloon, nearly floating to the roof of her immortal cave; this was because she instinctively wanted to hide and stay away from the golden man.
“Don’t worry, I’m different from the Heavenly Emperor… Be good, come down, I won’t eat you.” The golden man waved to Zither Master Phoenix Bearing.
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing did not reply and still continued to act like a balloon.
The golden man said slowly, “I came here this time to set you free.”
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing: “…”
The golden man raised his head and said, “You have been collecting Ancient Heavenly City Fragments, and you even planned to resurrect the Heavenly Emperor. Frankly speaking, you and your fellow daoists were probably doing so due to the limitations placed on you by the path of the Heavenly Emperor. Without the help of the Heavenly City Fragments, there would be no path of the Heavenly Emperor to support you. Your path to immortality will collapse, and you may even fall back down to the Tribulation Transcender Realm.”
Existences like Zither Master Phoenix Bearing were the biggest victims of the fall of the Ancient Heavenly City.
Her path heavily relied on the Ancient Heavenly City, leaving her more restricted than the four Great Emperors and the Ancestral Golden Dragon.
“I have a way to free you… In fact, the Great Northern Emperor and the Great Western Emperor have already regained their freedom.” The golden man stood up and looked at Zither Master Phoenix Bearing. “This is your only chance.”
“What do I need to do?” Zither Master Phoenix Bearing asked cautiously. Facing such a temptation, it was impossible not to be moved.
“It’s very simple.” The golden man showed a bright smile. “You only need to die once, and I will arrange the rest for you.”
“…” Zither Master Phoenix Bearing fell silent, and after a while, she said, “Give me some time to think about it.”
The golden man said slowly, “No problem. Such matters need to be considered thoroughly, after all. But don’t ponder on it for too long since I don’t have many opportunities to show up and contact you directly like I am doing right now. I cannot guarantee when I will be able to show up like this before you in the future.”
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing nodded silently.
The golden man said, “If you’re considering freeing yourself, then you can let go of some things. You do not have to plan how to revive the Heavenly Emperor, and you also do not need to be so obsessed with gathering the Heavenly City Fragments. You can live an easier life.”
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing asked, “You want the Heavenly City Fragments?”
The golden man shook his head. “I’m different from the Heavenly Emperor. The Ancient Heavenly City fragments are meaningless to me.”
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing said, “In that case, let me collect some more.”
She may become free, but among the old members of the Heavenly City that she had gathered, there were many who simply wanted to reproduce the Heavenly Court from back then.
Even if she freed herself, she still wanted to protect this group of old friends from the Heavenly City.
At the very least, she wanted to give them a place to stay.
The golden man said frankly, “You are as kind as ever. This is why you always suffer when you meet someone like me. You are easily tricked into selling yourself and counting the money for me.”
Zither Master Phoenix Bearing: “…”
Can we not have a good chat? Will you die if you chat normally?
“Are you saying that as long as you are freed, you will no longer pursue the matter regarding the resurrection formation?” At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside the golden man and Zither Master Phoenix Bearing.
A handsome Tyrannical Song stepped out of a spatial rift.
