Feng Feiyun's body was like a lake under the bright moon as he sat in a meditative pose. He exuded a pure and ethereal aura. At this moment, he gave others the feeling of being gazing at the deep sea; it was impossible to see through him.
However, his body was not as calm as it was right now. Spirit smoke surged in his veins while the God Base in his dantian was as bright as the sun. Clouds overflowed from the pores of his skin like a bright moon hidden in the clouds — mysterious and bright.
Countless strands of spirit energy converged towards his dantian like smoke. All rivers flowed into the sea as all spirits surrendered. Some poured into the God Base while others poured into the exquisite Corpse Palace.
"Rumble!"
The four gates of the Corpse Palace opened, and an ancient yet mighty aura was emitted from within. It was like the mouths of four ancient demons. Strands of spirit energy gushed into the palace gates, but like stones sinking into the ocean, they disappeared without a trace.
The heavenly hymns of the grand dao came from the Corpse Palace — mystical and enchanting.
Feng Feiyun couldn't suppress his curiosity and wanted to enter the Corpse Palace to find out. He felt that there was something extremely important hidden inside, and it was definitely not as simple as the Evil Woman's Corpse Palace.
However, he couldn't condense a divine intent no matter what. Each time, he was just one step away from condensing it halfway before it would collapse. Instead, it would cause his own soul to tremble.
As long as he could condense the first divine intent, then he would be considered to have reached peak God Base. However, he was always lacking a little bit. He couldn't condense a divine intent and couldn't use it to explore the Corpse Palace.
A bright light came out from one of the doors of the Corpse Palace. It was filled with immortal energy and was accompanied by the heavenly hymns of the grand dao. It was as if a deity from the immortal world was chanting without end.
It was as if one would be able to enter another vast world after entering this Corpse Palace.
This was only a fanciful thought after hearing the hymns, but it was especially real as if he was already inside.
"I must condense my divine intent and enter the Corpse Palace to find out what is going on."
Feng Feiyun felt that there was something unknown inside the Corpse Palace. It was as if an ancient corpse of a god had opened its eyes. The immortal light in its eyes shone brightly and tugged at his nerves.
He condensed his divine intent again.
Every time he failed, Feng Feiyun felt his soul being injured. However, he didn't give up. The urgency in his heart grew stronger.
Murong Ta and the Tower Lord stared at Feng Feiyun and noticed that a beautiful light rushed out from Feng Feiyun's body. It was like an immortal mist from the Immortal World, which puzzled them.
Rays of light flickered on Feng Feiyun's body. It was as if he had turned into a spirit stone, brimming with the charm of a treasure.
"Strange, although a third-grade Dragon Beard Pill can stimulate the growth of the spiritual energy in his body, it is absolutely impossible for it to give birth to such a pure spiritual cloud. Could it be that there is some kind of treasure hidden in his body?"
Two rays of light shot out from the Tower Lord's eyes, wanting to see Feng Feiyun's dantian. However, they were reflected by a blinding light and almost injured her eyes.
Murong Ta's eyes also revealed a strange glint, but he didn't dare to look at Feng Feiyun's dantian like the Tower Lord did. In the end, even the Tower Lord was almost at a disadvantage, let alone him.
"Little Miss, what is the relationship between you and Feng Feiyun?"
The Tower Lord noticed that Murong Ta was not born a man. She used a Treasure Seeking Master's secret technique to change her physique and appearance along with many other disguises to become her current appearance.
Although Feng Feiyun cultivated the Heavenly Phoenix Gaze, Murong Ta was a natural-born spiritualist. Moreover, he also cultivated the Spirit Treasure Volume from the Grave Palace Treasure Seeking Record. Even the Tower Lord was almost fooled by him, let alone Feng Feiyun, who had only recently reached the threshold of the Heavenly Phoenix Gaze.
The so-called natural-born spiritualists were people with natural beauty and the appearance of dragons and tigers. They were blessed with spirit bones, their blood was spiritual, their eyes were spirit treasures, and their five senses were all spiritual.
These people were destined to be fated with the heavenly dao, and very few people could see through them.
Although Feng Feiyun had extraordinary eyesight and intelligence, spiritualists could escape the Heavenly Phoenix Gaze's detection unless it reached a higher level.
"You cultivate the heaven-deceiving technique from the Spirit Treasure Volume." The Tower Lord's expression slightly sank as she asked: "You are a woman from the Ji Clan?"
The Spirit Treasure Volume was in the hands of the Ji Clan — this was something that the Tower Lord was aware of.
Murong Ta's aura became sharp like a cold blade being unsheathed. His eyes became cold as his fingers condensed the Unparalleled Sword Technique. Even if it was the Spirit Treasure Tower Lord, he would still dare to fight against her.
"Hmph!
Junior, even if Ji Lingxuan came, I would not be afraid of her, let alone you! "The Tower Lord's attire was slightly formal as she didn't put Murong Ta in her eyes at all.
Ji Lingxuan was one of the four Divine Consorts of the current dynasty, and she had the Jin Emperor as her backing. Yet, the Tower Lord didn't put her in her eyes at all. Moreover, her words were so forceful that they were clearly not false.
"You know my aunty?"
Murong Ta finally admitted his identity, but he didn't remove the disguise on his body. His expression was still cold as he guarded against the Tower Lord.
The Tower Lord replied: "Not only do I know her, I have fought against her no less than ten times."
There were not many people in this world who would dare to fight against a Divine Consort. Murong Ta's mind was meticulous, so he quickly thought of one person. Could it be that this Tower Lord had such a background?
Murong Ta stared at the Tower Lord and confirmed his thoughts once again.
"I and Feng Feiyun had one night of passion. After that night, he floated away while I painstakingly followed him all the way here just to stay by his side. I have no other desire."
Murong Ta's words were half-truths. If it was someone else, they wouldn't be able to fool the Tower Lord, but he was a natural born spiritualist, so the Tower Lord couldn't completely see through him.
The Tower Lord was slightly startled, then she scolded: "Foolish."
"He already has someone he loves in his heart. I know that I am only a toy for him to vent his desires, but I have no regrets." Murong Ta's voice turned into a woman's voice.
It was Ji Cangyue's voice. It was as beautiful as the song of an immortal bird and as clear as a flowing spring.
"Bastard!"
After being tricked by Ji Cangyue, the Tower Lord was a bit annoyed and said: "Like master, like disciple. Zuo Qianshou really taught his disciple well."
"I only wish to silently stay by his side and work hard for him. I ask Tower Lord to fulfill my wish and not tell him about this matter."
Murong Ta bowed down until her face was almost touching the ground. However, her eyes were filled with a strong hatred along with extreme resentment. 'Feng Feiyun, killing you would be letting you off too easily. You destroyed my body, so I will use your emotions to pay you back. I will not be satisfied until you suffer a fate worse than death and have your guts broken.'
The most painful thing in this world was not the destruction of the body, but the torture of the soul.
Ji Cangyue believed that one day, Feng Feiyun would suffer this kind of torture. Just thinking about Feng Feiyun suffering a fate worse than death made her very excited. The pleasure of revenge and the pain of hatred formed a sharp contrast.
One was not afraid of a woman with a frightening appearance, but one with a sinister heart.
"Boom!"
Another ray of light rushed out from Feng Feiyun's body and washed the surrounding space. Above his head, a light the size of a fist condensed and slowly turned into the shape of a human.
This was the condensation of a divine intent, and it was about to succeed.
The Tower Lord's palm created another formation to protect Feng Feiyun's head. She knew that he was about to break through to peak God Base, so he couldn't be disturbed at this time.
Divine intent was the most basic thing for a true cultivator. Only by cultivating a divine intent could one take a big step towards the heavenly dao.
When the light above his head completely condensed into the shape of a human, it wanted to soar into the sky.
"Come back!"
Feiyun's soul screamed and recalled the divine intent that had just formed. He sank it back into his brain.
The first strand of divine intent had been successfully cultivated, and he had officially stepped into peak God Base.
"Such a fast cultivation speed!"
Murong Ta's eyes were fixated on Feng Feiyun. He had just broken through intermediate God Base not too long ago, yet he was already at peak God Base. This kind of talent was truly unheard of.
She began to hesitate and felt that Feng Feiyun was even more unpredictable and uncontrollable than she had imagined.
If she allowed Feng Feiyun to continue growing, then it wouldn't be long before he would see through her disguise.
If such a thing happened, then the one who would suffer a fate worse than death would be her.
"Swoosh!"
Feng Feiyun's eyes suddenly opened with two burning flames. It was as if there were two flying immortal birds in his pupils. The penetrative power of these eyes was truly too frightening. It was as if a primordial demon was peering into the past and future, and it just so happened to be staring at Murong Ta. Ji Cangyue slightly shivered.
She felt that Feng Feiyun's eyes seemed to contain the power to see through time and space. It was as if she had been seen through by his gaze.
Her heart began to beat faster as she was extremely nervous. She formed a sword seal with both hands. If necessary, she could only take the initiative to gain the upper hand.
