"A human's physique cannot be compared to a Phoenix. A Phoenix has its own spirit energy in its womb. Once it is born, it has the power to burn the sky and boil the sea. A single flap of its wings can destroy a mountain. Humans, on the other hand, are born as mortals. They must first reach the Transcendence Realm before they can embark on the path of cultivation."
"Right now, I am no longer the Phoenix Patriarch. I am only an ordinary human youth. If I want to change my current physique, I can only cultivate the Immortal Phoenix Physique. Once I reach grand completion, I can live for ninety thousand years. Even after death, my body will not decay."
"The biggest advantage of the Immortal Phoenix Physique is that it can change a person's physique. It can make a person's physique stronger and more exquisite."
However, the Immortal Phoenix Physique was very difficult to cultivate. Even in his past life, Feng Feiyu was able to reach the ninth level of Heaven's Emergence with the Phoenix Physique as the foundation. However, he still couldn't reach the grand completion stage.
From this, one could see how difficult it was.
Right now, he could only start from scratch. Step by step, he once again embarked on the difficult path of cultivation. This was the only way to survive. In any place, the strong preyed on the weak. If one did not want to be eaten by the strong, then one must be stronger than the strong.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the beautiful figure of Shui Yueting.
Right now, she was a god-like existence, and he was only a weak human.
Even if they met again, she would not recognize Feng Feiyun. With her arrogance, she would not even look at a weak human.
Thinking of this, Feng Feiyun couldn't help but stop. He looked at the strange people around him. They all had black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin. They were not demons in human form, but real humans.
Feng Feiyun had been training in isolation at the Feng Huang Mountain for many years, so his understanding of the human world was almost zero.
There was also the unfamiliar architectural style. It had an antique feel to it. Wooden pavilions, cornices, and carved railings. Every house was a work of art.
There was also the unfamiliar cultural atmosphere. All of these stimulated Feng Feiyun's nerves.
His heart was full of questions, and he said: "Did the spirit boat send me to another world, or to the other side of the original world?"
The place he was at right now was called Spirit State City.
Spirit State City was the largest ancient city within a radius of a thousand miles. It was in charge of dozens of counties and had a population of more than ten million.
Spirit State City was only an ordinary city in the Godly Jin Dynasty.
In Feng Feiyun's mind, the Godly Jin Dynasty was the entire world. It was incomparably huge and boundless. There were no less than ten thousand cities like Spirit State City; it was unimaginably vast.
As for where else could it be?
He had no idea at all.
After all, the knowledge of ordinary people was limited!
"This Young Master Feng is really a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat and wait for death. His knowledge is too shallow. Moreover, ninety percent of his knowledge is related to women. The remaining ten percent is nothing more than eating, drinking, and playing. I am the dignified patriarch of the Demonic Phoenix Clan. How could I fuse with the soul of such a scum?"
"Sigh!
What's the use of scolding? Aren't you the one scolding? Just accept your fate! "Feng Feiyun sighed.
If he wanted to quickly adapt to a new environment, he had to expand his knowledge first. Only by understanding this world could he adapt to it.
"The library of the Feng Mansion seems to have a map of the world and geographical records. I can go and read them."
Feng Feiyun thought to this point, and he quickened his pace towards the direction of the Feng Mansion.
Feng Feiyun's background was quite extraordinary. His father was the Spirit State City's Lord. Not only were the millions of citizens in the Spirit State City under his jurisdiction, but even the surrounding counties were also under his jurisdiction. Every year, these county officials would come to the Spirit State City to present gifts and treasures.
It could be said that Feng Feiyun's father was the local tyrant of this area. He had jurisdiction over the area of a thousand miles around the Spirit State City, and nearly ten million citizens.
Feng Feiyun was the only son of the Spirit State City's Lord. He had harmed a few good girls in the Spirit State City, so naturally, no one dared to complain. Everyone could only swallow their anger when they saw him.
Even if there were people who did not agree, they would only be beaten half to death by the officials. Daring to disobey Young Master Feng was the same as disobeying the Lord of the Spirit State City.
And Feng Feiyun's home, the Feng Mansion, was the Spirit State City's Lord Mansion.
Vermillion gates, bronze pillars, high walls, gardens, nine entrances and nine exits. Just the servants and maids alone numbered no less than five hundred. It was just like a palace.
Even though Feng Feiyun was an ignorant and incompetent second generation, his father, the Spirit State City's Lord "Feng Wanpeng", was an outstanding character who excelled in both the pen and the sword.
Twenty years ago, Feng Wanpeng was ranked third in the Jin Dynasty's literary world. Both his writing and calligraphy were top notch, so there were more than one hundred thousand books in the library of the Feng Mansion, including ancient scriptures and poems, martial lectures, strange stories, regional documents, Buddhist scriptures, and so on.
Feng Feiyun did not like to read since he was young, and he didn't even know how to read.
This was his first time entering the library. Looking at the dense collection of books in front of him, there were ancient scrolls, bamboo slips, and manuscripts. His heart couldn't help but be filled with emotions. Why didn't he come to such a treasured place before?
"Young Master, the Lord had already said that we cannot let you enter the library. If you damage the books, the Lord will definitely be furious. At that time, everyone will be out of luck."
"Young Master, you can't read, so you won't be able to understand the books in the library. You should quickly leave!
Otherwise, if the Lord finds out, we will all be beaten to death. "
…
The four beautiful maids who were guarding the library anxiously ran around in circles. They wore cloud-colored clothes, and their ages were between sixteen and twenty. Their appearances were like flowers, and their skin was soft and tender. They were all young beauties.
They kept on begging Feng Feiyun, as if they were afraid that this ignorant and incompetent young master would burn down the library.
Even though they were respectful towards Feng Feiyun, but in their hearts, they looked down on him. They only saw him as an idiot who couldn't read and couldn't practice martial arts. If it wasn't for his father being the Lord of the City, then this kind of person would be worse than a beggar.
Even though Feng Feiyun was illiterate before, but now, it was different. Even though he was not extremely knowledgeable, but after living for more than a thousand years, the accumulation of knowledge was quite frightening. It was not something that these ordinary people who only learned for a few decades could compare to.
"So, as long as I can read, then I can stay here?"
Feng Feiyun's eyesight was very astute, and he naturally saw the contempt in the hearts of these four maids. However, he also felt that it was funny. These four beautiful maids had already been taken by him. What kind of trash was this Young Master Feng?
How could he let go of these weeds?
On the bed, each and every one of them was coquettish, sweet moaning, and begging for mercy. But now, they actually dared to look down on this Young Master, this was really outrageous.
Being looked down on by the women he had slept with, this was simply too damaging to his self-esteem.
"If Young Master can read, then the Lord would be very happy. Of course, you can stay in the library for as long as you want, but … Young Master, you don't even know how to write your own name …" The four beautiful maids laughed at the same time.
Feng Feiyun casually picked up a hardcover ancient book from the bookshelf. On the cover, there were three bold and powerful characters. Seeing these three characters, Feng Feiyun was slightly happy. These three characters and the characters in his previous world were different, but there were still similarities, so it was not difficult to recognize.
Characters were the symbols of culture. Every world had its own unique culture, so naturally, there would be completely different characters.
Since the characters were similar, then it meant that he was still in the original world.
Feng Feiyun was slightly relieved. It seemed that Spirit State City was indeed in a corner of the original world. If he was still in the same world, then sooner or later, he would meet his old friends again.
"'The Theory of Soldiers'.
Soldiers are pawns.
Commanders are generals.
Soldiers are chess pieces in a square formation.
The commander is the flag, the master gives orders … "
Feng Feiyun opened the book in his hand and read it out loud. While reading, he nodded his head. He felt that the ancient sages' military research was very profound, and there were many things worth learning from.
For example, if the strange strategies were used on the engraving of formations, then it would certainly have an extraordinary effect.
Another example, if one could use strategy and formations, then one could use a group of low level cultivators to trap an Immortal Giant to death.
"The Theory of Soldiers, the soldiers are the best. The same dao of transformation, the clear and decisive strategy, is invincible!"
At this moment, the four beautiful maids were stunned. They were so shocked that they couldn't breathe. It was as if they had seen the most unbelievable thing in this world.
Outside of playing with women, Young Master Feng actually learned how to read!
Young Master Feng could actually read the 'The Theory of Soldiers'!
After a long time of shock, the four maids suddenly sobered up and directly ran out of the library while shouting: "Young Master Feng can read, Young Master Feng can read!"
"Oh my god!
Young Master Feng is too capable, he can actually read! "
"Quickly, tell this news to the master, quickly, quickly, quickly!"
"After the master knows about this, he will definitely go crazy with joy!"
…
…
The Feng Mansion was in chaos. The maids and servants were all alarmed. It was even more lively than a festival.
Feng Feiyun couldn't help but smile. Wasn't it just learning a few words? What a fuss. If he were to recite a few ancient scriptures, then wouldn't these people be scared to death?
He put the 'The Theory of Soldiers' back on the bookshelf, then he closed the door of the library. Only then did it become a bit quieter.
Feng Feiyun looked at the ancient books that recorded the different regions. They were all written by the ancient sages who traveled all over the world.
"The Five Kingdoms Catalog"
"The Geography of the Godly Jin Dynasty"
"The View of the World"
After reading these books, Feng Feiyun had a general understanding of the region he was currently living in. The Godly Jin Dynasty had been established for more than six thousand years. It had a long history and vast land with abundant resources. The north and south were separated by four hundred and eighty thousand li, and the east and west were separated by seven hundred and forty thousand li. The population exceeded one hundred billion.
It was indeed a huge human kingdom.
A dynasty that could stand for more than six thousand years without falling meant that the royal family's power and resources were absolutely unimaginable. More than six thousand years was a frightening number. Such a powerful dynasty must have given birth to many powerful clans, nobles, and sects.
There were no less than ten thousand ancient cities like Spirit State City in the Godly Jin Dynasty.
Even the City Lord of Spirit State City was only a small official.
There were four other dynasties that were adjacent to the Godly Jin Dynasty. No matter if it was the size or the population, they were not below the Godly Jin Dynasty. They were collectively known as the "Five Kingdoms".
Around the Five Kingdoms, there were a few small countries that were affiliated to the Five Kingdoms. There were several hundred of them. Some of the small countries had a population of more than one hundred million, while others only had a few million.
According to the book, the View of the World, the Five Kingdoms were only a small and remote corner of the continent. There were very few records of the regions outside of the Five Kingdoms. Even the author only vaguely recorded a few strokes, and only had a vague idea.
"This world is truly too big. Spirit State City is only a drop of water in the vast ocean. It is like a drop of water in the ocean, or a grain of sand in the desert."
"It seems that the only thing I can do now is to work hard and cultivate. As long as my cultivation is strong, I will naturally be able to broaden my horizons and step on the stage of the world. I will once again step on the path of cultivation and stand at the peak of the world. I will once again see … Sigh!"
Feng Feiyun placed the book back on the shelf. There were some people that he didn't want to think about anymore!
Feng Feiyun was already dead. From now on, he would start a new life. Everything from his previous life had nothing to do with him anymore.
"I am Feng Feiyun, the Young Master of the Feng Clan, the Flower Taisui of Spirit State City, the living King of Hell that everyone is afraid of."
