Chapter 608: Chapter 352: Extinguishing the Sun_2
“Given permission?”
Feng Qing’an was taken aback,
“Wasn’t it said that this phoenix is fully dead? What permission needs to be obtained? Does she still possess consciousness?”
“Not anymore, her soul has fragmented into the phoenixes you saw, this is her way of reincarnation to continue her life. However, her left behind body still holds instinct.
Approaching with any existence other than those phoenixes would likely trigger this body’s instinct to counterattack, unless you have the strength to overpower this Heavenly Immortal body. Otherwise, it’s best that you don’t get close.”
Jiuling gave an extremely sincere and professional suggestion, causing Feng Qing’an to instantly feel annoyed. If he had the horrifying strength to suppress a Heavenly Immortal body, why would he need the materials from a Heavenly Immortal? He could simply take it from himself.
“Can I approach if I simply possess the aura of those phoenixes?”
Feng Qing’an, who was about to flare up, suddenly noticed the crucial point.
“Yes.”
“Then, for me, that shouldn’t be a problem.”
Feng Qing’an, who had originally planned to give up, suddenly became interested. He directly summoned the Undead Nether Phoenix Youyou.
“Feng Qing’an, you’re looking for me?”
The little phoenix, fluttering her wings, landed on Feng Qing’an’s shoulder, but she soon noticed the giant fireball illuminating the miles surrounding the Cave Sky that wasn’t far off, and the sleeping phoenix within.
“What do you need me to do for you?”
Observing the corpse of this phoenix, Youyou took a moment before asking Feng Qing’an.
“I…want to approach it.”
Originally, Feng Qing’an wanted to use Youyou’s power to pick something from the remains of this Heavenly Immortal Phoenix. After all, even a single fallen feather from a phoenix could be used as a celestial instrument.
But when he noticed the way Youyou watched this phoenix, he immediately changed his mind. Regardless, this phoenix was Youyou’s past life.
If he used Youyou’s power to pluck something from this Phoenix’s body, wouldn’t that be like taking someone to dig up their past life’s grave? There’s no way he could do such a shameless thing.
“Get closer for what?”
“To look.”
“Only to look?”
“Mmm!”
Wrapped in a fiery aura of ominous energy and death, Feng Qing’an felt no discomfort. Instead, the scorching and piercing sensations brought on by the far yet seemingly near sun diminished considerably.
Under the protection of a bloodline-pure phoenix, Feng Qing’an crossed the safe distance outlined by Jiuling, moving closer to the phoenix. The closer he got to the phoenix, the more he could feel the terror of a Heavenly Immortal.
Even though she had already fallen, her remaining bones were truly as radiant as the sun, casting an eternal and undying light that illuminated the Cave Sky realm.
“Youyou, can you consume this phoenix and inherit her power?”
Even when he got reasonably close, Feng Qing’an didn’t move any further. The phoenix’s size was simply too colossal. Even its floating feathers were hundreds of miles long. Such terrifying size brought with it a crushing sense of presence that even immortals didn’t want to endure.
“I can only gain some power.”
Youyou tilted her head in thought for a moment before giving Feng Qing’an a pleasantly surprising answer.
“Can you really inherit it?”
He didn’t anticipate getting such unexpected good news. If Youyou could swallow the power of this phoenix and continue to evolve and become more powerful, he, too, would greatly benefit. In a way, that would also mean he becomes more powerful.
“All phoenixes can, but none would choose to inherit this power, as this place needs this power.”
“Master, this is the sun, you know. If you sap its power, and not even fully extinguish it, but just dim it, the spirits of this Cave Sky realm would probably suffer countless deaths.”
At this moment, Jiuling jumped out and reminded Feng Qing’an of the matter he had overlooked.
If all of the Phoenix Clan can inherit the power of a phoenix that has transformed into the sun, then why is this sun still hanging here, like an everlasting sun, illuminating ten thousand miles?
The bottom line is that no phoenix ever had the slightest intention to touch it. Phoenixes are utmost benevolent, even when the path to ascend to the heavens is above their heads, they only need to fly high to achieve immortality. But such immortality requires the sacrifice of a world of spirits.
“So, that’s how it is.”
Feng Qing’an suddenly realized it. His gaze towards the corpse of this phoenix no longer lingered, unless he could find a sun that could replace the phoenix’s remains.
Until then, don’t even think about setting your sights on the sun. Soon, the Cave Sky world will be under his control, and all the spirits living in it belong to him. There’s no need to waste his own resources.
Three months later
With a stature even more magnificent, Feng Qing’an, who was no longer showing a trace of youthful naivety, finally received good news from Jiuling.
“Master, I have successfully refined and taken control of this Cave Sky. You can set off now.”
“Why do I feel like nothing has changed?”
Feng Qing’an raised his brows slightly. Staffed by one layer, he wasn’t keenly aware of all the changes. If he had to say something, he felt like everything around him in the Cave Sky was intimately familiar.
“Master, if you want to wait until changes occur, you might have to wait until I slowly move this Cave Sky out of the Netherworld and merge it with the Nine Lifes Cave World. By then, you will feel the difference.”
Jiuling explained, and Feng Qing’an immediately understood. This guy had just gained control, and had not yet made any substantive impact on this Cave Sky.
“How long will it take for you to move the Cave Sky out of the Netherworld?”
Feng Qing’an knew that all the calamities and omens in this Cave Sky were due to its location. If it were in the human world, the Undead Nether Phoenix like Youyou would never have been born, and a whole clan would not have to bear the consequences and turn into walking disasters.
“I’m afraid it’s hard to say, but even at the earliest estimate, I’m afraid it will take longer than you can tolerate, so you just focus on what you enjoy. Leave the rest to this humble servant.”
“Ten years? Twenty years? Or one Jiazi?”
“If there’s no external interference, at least one Jiazi.”
“That’s too long.”
“This is a whole Cave Sky world.”
Jiuling couldn’t help but sigh that his master was so greedy and discontented. His ability to move a Cave Sky world was already extraordinary, breaking through common sense.
“Master, if you want to speed things up, you’d better retrieve your Previous Life’s Dao Fruit as soon as possible. By then, you can go as fast as you want.”
“We’ll see.”
Upon hearing these words, Feng Qing’an was no longer disdained. He had not yet chosen the path he wanted to pursue. Talking about the Previous Life’s Dao Fruit was premature. He would disperse his powers when he reached the Heavenly Dragon Temple.
“Big Brother, let’s set off!”
Feng Qing’an directly found Fayuan, who was meditating and reciting scriptures. He didn’t understand his big brother’s practice, but that didn’t prevent him from seeing that his brother was getting steadily stronger at a constant pace.
“How do we get to West Xi Lan Continent? Do we take the Cross-sea flying boat? I have one here.”
Feng Qing’an didn’t forget that he had once captured a Skyflying Palace. That contraption was initially used by a once glorious Immortal Sect to cross the sea and communicate with other continents.
“No need for such trouble. Just follow me.”
Under the feet of the Monk dressed in a monk robe, everything around began to collapse, turning into nothingness. The faint Buddhism light shone, permeating from the monk’s feet, extending into the far darkness, forming a golden path that looked somewhat unstable.
Aum, ma, ni, pad, me, hum
In the void, the six syllable mantra of Buddhism gradually sounded, echoing in the darkness. Subsequently, the sound became more and more resounding, as if an ancient Buddha were reciting scriptures.
Boom ——
It was as if thousands of thunderclaps were sounding, and the void suddenly opened. A grand and sacred Buddha’s pure land appeared abruptly before Feng Qing’an.
