He returned to the Grand Southern Prefecture after so many years.
The prosperity of this land had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a gloomy and deathly energy.
The once beautiful city was now in ruins with blood staining the walls. The sky was shrouded by clouds of death while the rivers flowed with blood.
Corpses were entrenched in this place. They walked stiffly and in a ferocious manner through the city.
The city had become a city of corpses.
Feng Feiyun and the enlightened being first went to the sacred lake. The water had dried up several years ago. The bottom of the lake was cracked with weeds growing everywhere. It now looked like a depression.
The Holy Tablet used to stand in this depression, but it had flown away now.
The enlightened being got down from the palanquin. Her black hair reached her waist while her golden robe was draped on the ground. She had a slender waist and a perky buttocks. Her silhouette was exceptionally beautiful, just like an immortal dressed in a golden dress.
She stood at the edge of the depression and gazed at the sky with her starry eyes. No one knew what she was thinking. After a while, she went back to the palanquin and continued forward.
They then went to Mount Banda.
The ancient altar on top of the mountain had flown away. The Evil Woman used to comprehend the dao there. Feng Chi also climbed out from this mountain. Many corpses still gathered here, turning it into a mountain of corpses. It was quite eerie at night. Occasionally, one would hear the howls of corpses, causing one's hair to stand on end.
The enlightened being didn't stop here. She went around this mountain of corpses and headed straight for the Heaven's Emergence tomb.
Late at night, the enlightened being and Feng Feiyun arrived at the tomb. The soil here was black, even darker than the sky. It was the color of dried blood.
A cold wind blew across the plains, and the air was somewhat chilly.
After arriving at the Heaven's Emergence tomb, Unrestrained Enlightened Being put away the palanquin and revealed her true body.
She was indeed as described in the ancient records. She had a devastatingly beautiful face, and her figure was very tall and slender. Her curves were also exceptionally beautiful. She looked like a fairy in the night as she walked through the wilderness.
Her appearance was very similar to Long Luofu's, even her temperament was very similar. However, she was more arrogant than Long Luofu, and also more imposing. Feng Feiyun saw a kind of disdain in her eyes. It was a kind of gaze that did not put anyone in her eyes.
Too arrogant!
It was as if she was the supreme Celestial Emperor and Feng Feiyun was just her slave.
She was once the supreme Empress and had developed a supreme heart. In the eyes of the Empress, everyone was just a subject, a servant, and it was impossible for her to become friends with anyone.
"Feng Feiyun, are you an expert in formations?" she asked.
Feng Feiyun did not look her in the eye. He stepped on the soil of the Heaven's Emergence and casually grunted.
Unrestrained furrowed her brows in annoyance. Her beautiful eyes flashed with coldness like lightning: "No one has ever dared to act so presumptuously before me. Are you not afraid of death?"
"It's not that I'm not afraid of death!
I know you won't let me go, so why should I be polite? "Feng Feiyun said.
She laughed instead of getting angry. Her smile was beautiful and her laughter was pleasant to the ears. Who knew what she was laughing about? After a long time, she stopped, "You are an interesting person. If it wasn't for the Heaven's Emergence Platform, I might have spared your life."
The two walked on the Heaven's Emergence Graveyard. There was a strange tacit understanding between them. They did not speak after that. She only asked, "You are an expert in formations?" and did not ask anything else. She also did not purposely search for the Earth Teleportation Formation.
She seemed to be reminiscing about something.
In the distance, a fire could be seen. One could vaguely see people dancing around it.
There was the sound of drumming conches, the sound of sacrificial rites, and many bare-chested men dancing around the bonfire. There were also old men kneeling under the altar reciting a strange language.
Feng Feiyun didn't expect to see humans here, especially mortals who didn't cultivate. There were more than three thousand of them, seemingly a tribe in the middle of a ceremony.
"Those are the natives of the Heaven's Emergence Graveyard, the Meng Tribe.
The Corpse Evils are everywhere in Grand Southern but don't dare to enter the Heaven's Emergence Graveyard. These mortals are the ones who survived. "She said.
The Jin Dynasty was vast with many tribes, big and small, numbering in the tens of thousands. Only the Jin Emperor could remember all of them.
Feng Feiyun stared at her back before following her.
"Honorable guests, tonight is a sleepless night for our Meng Tribe's grand sacrificial ceremony. Anyone who attends tonight's grand sacrificial ceremony will be blessed by the God of Fortune."
A white-haired old man said with a warm smile. He stared at Feng Feiyun and Unrestrained Enlightened Being with anticipation.
Four or five young men and women from the Meng Tribe curiously stared at the two guests and invited them to join the festivities.
Unrestrained Spiritual Master's aura was completely restrained, and her face was covered in a layer of mist. These Great Ridge people couldn't see her face clearly, so they didn't feel any pressure. They all smiled amiably.
"Very well."
She actually agreed.
The people from the Meng Tribe were ecstatic. Their chief ordered people to slaughter the cows and sheep for the big wine jars.
"Empress, you're quite close to the people."
Feng Feiyun didn't hold back since he had already been sentenced to death. After a dance with a girl from the Meng Tribe, he sat next to Unrestrained Being and finished his wine.
Great Unrestrained Enlightened Being sat below the stone platform. In front of her was a ceramic plate with a large piece of golden beef thigh. She stretched out two slender fingers and tore off a small piece of beef. She put it in her red and sparkling lips and gently chewed on it. Her movements were very elegant.
She didn't look at Feng Feiyun and said: "When I was young, the Grand Tutor said that in order to become an emperor, one must have the heart of an emperor.
The heart of an emperor is the supreme heart, the heart to rule, the heart to be close to the people, and the heart to be emotionless.
When one is the emperor, all others are subjects.
Just one word and ten thousand people fear.
If you can't do this, you won't be able to become an emperor. "
"I'm so tired." Feng Feiyun looked up at the sky.
Unrestrained Being glanced at Feng Feiyun and said: "Tired?
As an emperor, there must be people who are loyal, use, envious, jealous, covetous, angry … "
"Is there no one you can trust?" Feng Feiyun asked.
She shook her head: "You can only trust yourself."
Feng Feiyun smiled: "I'm curious about one thing. Since an emperor's heart is unique and supreme, your clan has three emperors now. If you go back to the capital, who will be the one in charge?"
Unrestrained Being pondered for a long time and didn't answer Feng Feiyun. She looked down and tore off a small piece of golden beef and gently chewed it.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, please give me a rose flower!"
It was a little girl around the age of seven or eight with a rosy cheeks. She wore a beast hide and carried a wooden box on her back. Her round eyes were blinking as she stared at Feiyun with an innocent smile.
Feiyun glanced at her and stroked her braid: "Little Sister, what's a Meng Nan flower?" He smiled.
"It's a very, very beautiful flower. On this piece of land, only this kind of flower can be dug up from the soil. It's very rare. Any man or woman who can dig up a Mennan Flower in a sleepless night will have good luck for the rest of their lives. They'll be together forever," the little girl said seriously and expectantly.
"Umm … I've been really unlucky lately. If such a flower exists in this world, then it must be the most beautiful flower in the world." Feiyun touched the girl's cheek and asked: "Where can I find this flower?"
The little girl blinked and looked a little confused: "In Grandpa Chief's story."
Feng Feiyun understood. So this naive little girl had never seen a flower like this before. She'd only heard about it in stories.
Feng Feiyun looked at the barren plains. In the Heaven's Emergence graveyard, not even grass could be seen. This little girl must have never seen a flower in her life.
That's why she came to ask Feng Feiyun for a rose flower.
She just wanted to see something beautiful.
She stared at Feng Feiyun's eyes. Her pupils were round like black gems and full of anticipation.
How could Feng Feiyun show her a flower that only existed in stories?
"Don't disappoint the little girl. Go and find a rose flower." Unrestrained Enlightened stood up and ordered. It was like she was giving an imperial decree.
Feng Feiyun wasn't interested in her decree but he didn't want to disappoint the little girl. So the three of them went to search for the rose flower.
The little girl was really happy. She grabbed Feng Feiyun's hand and said in a tender voice: "Big Brother, have you ever given me a flower?"
"This …" Feng Feiyun saw that she wasn't angry and said: "No."
"Then why don't you give it to her?" She was curious.
"She … doesn't like it!" Feng Feiyun said.
The little girl ran to Great Unrestrained Enlightened Being's side and pulled his arm, saying: "Big sister, big sister, big brother said you don't like flowers, is that true?"
"I … should like it!" Unrestrained Enlightened said.
"I should like it anyway. Flowers are so beautiful!
Flowers are the most beautiful!
If we dig up a rose flower, I'll let Big Brother give it to you. I'll personally put it on your head. Grandpa Chief said that a girl with a flower on her head is the most beautiful girl.
Right? "
"Right!"
Feng Feiyun was diligently searching and even used the Minor Change Art. He was like a treasure master searching for an underground ore vein. Suddenly, a subtle fluctuation came from the ground.
Feng Feiyun squatted down and dug three feet into the ground. A gentle white light came from below like the moonlight.
