Meow~
It was still the tender and sweet cry that was sickeningly cute. However, when this sound fell into the ears of the Bright Dragon that was peeking out from Feng Qing’an’s collar, it was completely different from what Feng Qing’an had heard.
Roar~
Dry and hoarse, it was a sound that was on the verge of causing one’s soul to shatter, as if it was the roar of an ancient, great demon; with every roar, the mountains and rivers would shatter, and the stars would fall… Even the Bright Dragon, now so full of spiritual energy, couldn’t help but shake its head, nearly fainting from the sound of this roar.
“Well, I never knew, this little guy is pulling a double face!”
The discomfort of the Bright Dragon was immediately noticed by Feng Qing’an. When he used the “Sending God Skill” to transfer a thread of consciousness onto the Bright Dragon Armor, and obtained its senses, he too was shocked.
“Heavenly Demon White Tiger, huh.”
Feng Qing’an silently mulled over the information he had just obtained. Having understood a part of the truth about this little creature, of course, he wouldn’t be swayed by the adorable outer appearance. But he didn’t expect the creature’s cries to be so peculiar.
It was indeed the same sound, but the perceptions it stimulated in different creatures were completely different. But such abnormalities eased Feng Qing’an a bit; his appraisal had not been wrong. This little one’s origins were indeed extraordinary.
“I should ask Big Brother!”
Feng Qing’an rode the winds and flew in the direction of the sword. The winds gradually dried, and the earth below began to even out.
North Border
This was just a general term for the northern territories of Da Jin. Feng Qing’an was heading towards Gunzhou, where his older brother was serving as a provincial governor.
Feng Qing’an didn’t know where Gunzhou was; not everyone had access to maps. But it wasn’t a problem for him as his sword was guiding him.
Several hours later, flying with the Black Mountain in tow, just as Feng Qing’an was feeling slightly fatigued, an Azure Dragon laying horizontally across the land came into view. It was a snowy mountain range, stretching from west to east, majestic and towering. The highest peak of its eastern side reached into the blue sky, merging with the floating clouds.
“North Border, I’m here.”
Upon catching sight of the Snowy Dragon Mountain, Feng Qing’an knew he wasn’t far from his older brother. This snow-covered mountain range was a natural barrier for Da Jin. Beyond the mountain lay the ferocious Beastly Barbarians.
Zing~
Before Feng Qing’an could continue flying towards the snow mountain, the sword that had brought the little black cat back resonated, humming and trembling, guiding Feng Qing’an towards the ground.
Feng Qing’an didn’t resist, but rather followed the guidance of this sword, falling on a seemingly insignificant little green mountain. Every inch of land was covered with thorns and wild grass, appearing desolate.
There wasn’t even a proper pathway under his feet. The desolation made way for several startled grey rabbits and wild boars.
The youth looked at the desolate green mountain before him and licked his lips. He spread out his perception, but could not sense any familiar aura. However, the sword in his hand continued to tremble, urging him to move on.
Meow!
Just as Feng Qing’an started doubting whether he had been duped, the little black cat, perched on his shoulder, suddenly jumped off him into a bush of thorns and weeds. The palm-sized ebony cat was soon swallowed up by the vegetation.
Upon seeing this, Feng Qing’an furrowed his brow. Still, he didn’t blindly chase after the cat, because he could still sense the cat’s aura. He might not be able to see it, but his perception was still there.
Meow~
The black cat wandered amidst the weeds on the desolate hillside. After distancing itself from Feng Qing’an by several tens of yards and seeing that he hadn’t followed it, the black cat jumped onto a low blue rock, revealing its form. It sat squat on the rock, calling to Feng Qing’an and wagging its tail non-stop.
“Would my big brother be in this kind of place?”
Feng Qing’an looked down at the sword in his hand; he knew his big brother was anything but ordinary. He seldom took the orthodox path even during the imperial examination, as he preferred traversing mountains and leaping ravines.
But given his older brother’s current status and the responsibilities he must fulfill, there’s no way he could stay in such a desolate place, right?
Zing~
The ancient long sword was still vibrating. After contemplating for a while, Feng Qing’an pulled a book bound in the crudest yellow paper from his bosom, gripped it in his hand, and flew to where the black cat was.
Meow~
The little black cat, having seen Feng Qing’an finally caught up, mewed in satisfaction. Then, swaying its tail, it jumped into the wild grass which was taller than a person, roaming between the underbrush and shrubs.
Feng Qing’an held a sword in one hand and a book in the other, staying alert until the little black cat led him to a low cave in the mountain. The boy then started to comprehend something.
Meow~
The black cat crouched in front of the cave, meowed at Feng Qing’an, then vanished into the darkness that sunlight couldn’t reach, leaving only a pair of golden eyes gleaming in the darkness.
At this moment, the boy didn’t hesitate and stepped into the cave. After seeing him enter, the little black cat flicked its tail and rushed into the depths of the darkness without looking back.
The entrance was extremely narrow, only admitted one person to pass. After taking dozens of steps, the view suddenly widened. There was arable land, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo trees. Paths extended in all directions. The sound of chickens and dogs could be heard. People were coming and going, cultivating… This was a world completely different from the desolate outer mountain.
As soon as he set foot in it and felt the solid spiritual Qi coming at him, Feng Qing’an had an idea. The sudden chatter in his brain only confirmed his guess.
“Paradise! Master, you’ve entered a ownerless paradise. You must find a way to take over this paradise. As long as you can take it, I’m willing to do anything you ask.”
“Shut up.”
Feng Qing’an didn’t want to listen to the chatter at that moment, because he saw a familiar figure standing in front of the thatched cottage, smiling faintly at him.
His older brother, Feng Qingping.
“An, I thought I’d have to wait for you for a while, but I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon.”
Feng Qingping, who still looked 70% similar to Feng Qing’an, was joyfully playing with a small black cat which was held in the hand of the increasingly influential Governor of Gunzhou. The cat kept growling, looking up at Feng Qing’an with a smile.
It was evident that the governor was in a particularly good mood at this moment.
“Elder brother.”
Feng Qing’an’s mood at that moment was especially delicate and complex, the peace and tranquility around him were evident in his peripheral vision.
It was not an illusion, nor was it a false image created by the Ghostly Clan. It was a scene of true peace and tranquility.
“Bringing you here to meet me was a necessity, my mansion isn’t a fit place for guests. If we had met there, you ‘d be there for years and it’s likely that you would get into a lot of trouble.”
Feng Qingping explained with a smile why he appeared here and the reason why he brought Feng Qing’an.
But Feng Qing’an still couldn’t understand how his older brother, despite being defiance, was on a whole new level. The area he was standing in was a complete paradise.
Compared to Nine Lifes Cave World which only got the name of Cave Sky, excluding the title, it was being dominated in every aspect.
The accumulation of the Xiao Family over a thousand years was merely controlling a small part of the incomplete Cave Sky. However, his elder brother used a complete paradise as a meeting spot with him, his twin brother.
“Elder brother, where did you get this paradise?”
Considering the person in front of him was his own brother, Feng Qing’an asked directly the doubts in his mind. He had already confirmed that his sword and the book in his hand had no reactions right now.
“I found it by accident.”
Feng Qingping’s tone was comfortable and relaxed. Even knowing that he had obtained a paradise, where disasters could be avoided according to Taoist teachings, he was still calm.
“Accident?”
