Spirit Vessel

know that each night under the stars, I feel that you are next to me.
The southern sky has 38,042, the west has 12,000, the north has 74,561, and the east… the sun is usually up when I get to this point.
What about you? How many stars?”

“I…” Feiyun shook his head while feeling a sting in his heart.

He knew that when a woman was missing someone and feeling lonely, they would count the stars in the sky.

She started in the south because both of them were under the southern sky.
Once she made it to the east, the loneliness had usually passed by then.

Feiyun had never counted the stars before so he felt embarrassed.
His love came so fast and at an inopportune moment.
Meanwhile, her love had been kept secret for a long time.

She has been very lonely without him.

“Clatter.” A murderous bloodthirst descended from above with a sharp and austere sword shadow.
However, when Yue Chongzi stabilized himself and looked up, Feng Feiyun was nowhere to be found inside the prison.

‘Not good, did the two got away?’ He was slightly late due to a formation laid out by Nangong Hongyan.

Suddenly, a shadow came in the air without any warning.
An ultimate force consisting of numerous thunderbolts struck Chongzi’s back.

This attack was too sudden so Chongzi could only guard when he felt something was amiss.
Alas, how could he stop the offensive power of the Thunderfire Jewel? He was directly blown outside.

The skin on his head was heavily damaged.
He stared at Feng Feiyun standing right in front of him in disbelief: “You… how did you escape?!”

Feiyun was embracing the bloodied Nangong Hongyan who had already fainted.
He glared at the man on the ground a bit before a crimson flame blazed up around his body.
He turned into a fiery being and rushed forward.

Feiyun’s power alone naturally couldn’t break the formation prepared by Feng Mo.
However, Hongyan gave him both the Invisible Cloak and the Crimson Phoenix Garment.

With the two divine gowns, his battle power surged and he was able to shatter the formation to escape.

When Hongyan was without any cultivation, she was still comparable to a half-step Giant just by wearing the two gowns.
Feiyun was much stronger than her so even if he couldn’t straight out defeat a Giant, he could still contend against them.

“Hongyan, you can’t die! I will find the best doctor to save you.”  Feiyun gently rubbed away the blood on her forehead and could feel her life passing away.
Her body was becoming cold.

She was only at the early Immortal Foundation level.
Such grievous injuries were fatal to her since she lacked the same powerful constitution as Feiyun.
He could recover completely in just several days.

After taking off the divine gowns, she was no different from other frail women.

When Feiyun made it out of the cave, daylight was approaching from the horizon.
The stars by the eastern sky were disappearing.

Would dawn really come after the night?

“Rumble!” Suddenly, winds broke out in the sky.
Rays rushed down from the central peak towards this particular cave.

A dozen or so people with monstrous aura were present.
They were all half-step Giants with eight of them real Giants.
These were the current top experts of the Feng Clan.

They have lived for hundreds of years and were once ancestors of the great powers.
Recently, these people came in here to curry favor from the Enlightened Being after the big changes at the Celestial Paradise.

“Feng Feiyun, you actually made it out? But do you think you can leave today?” Four half-steps that were guarding the cave entrance leaped out as well to join the bigger group.

All of them focused their aura on his body.
This powerful pressure added immense weight to him.
Even a mountain would collapse instantly.

“It’s not up to any of you whether I can leave or not!” Feiyun was determined even if the sky was falling down.
He took out the Ascension Platform and turned it into a sacred tablet towering for thirty meters.
The runes flowing on the surface carried an eternal and profound strength.

The eighteen remnant souls of the geniuses stopped the aura of these ancestors.

Feiyun summoned his azure vessel and jumped on it.
The tablet remained above his head.
In one hand, he had Nangong Hongyan, the other the stone saber.
He began to make his way forward like a raging dragon going against the tide in the open sea.
