Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1049 - Chaos

Chapter 1049: Chaos

In the void, the stars were densely packed, mysterious, and distant.

From afar, they looked like a marvelous divine map made of light spots, obscure and indescribable.

At this time, a flying boat was steadily sailing on the star map, neither too fast nor too slow. Especially the flag on the deck that was fluttering in the wind, it was full of murderous intent.

Ou Yangming stood under the mast, his bright eyes staring ahead as if he had opened the door to a new world. ‘I wonder when the poisonous pill’s world will evolve to such a stage?’ Nonetheless, he immediately suppressed the thought. The Great Wide World had evolved for billions of years, but what about the poisonous pill’s world? Even if the young fellow were to exaggerate a little, it was still just a newborn baby. The disparity was too great.

Feng Xiang stood next to him and laughed heartily. “Brother Ou, what are you thinking about?”

Ou Yangming shook his head. The light in his eyes gathered, and he responded, “The higher your cultivation base, the more you feel that the world is vast and you’re insignificant.”

Feng Xiang nodded and said, “That’s right. Even if you’re a Ruler, in the Great Wide World, you’re just a slightly stronger ant that’s not worth mentioning at all.” He paused for a moment, and his expression became solemn as he continued, “Even so, you can’t lose your fighting spirit. You should always remember to make a big wish, earn an average fate, enjoy humble fortune, choose a high place to stand, find a flat place to live, and walk toward a wide place. This way, you’ll continue to improve and get closer to the heavenly path.”

“The heavenly path...” Ou Yangming carefully considered these two words.

Feng Xiang did not speak either but for some reason, the atmosphere between them became a little more solemn.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. Feng Xiang’s interspatial bag shone with a bright white light, enveloping the entire flying boat. The blinding white light made it difficult for people to open their eyes, and even the formation protecting the flying boat rippled.

Ou Yangming’s eyebrows twitched. This trick might seem simple, but it was very rare for someone to be able to do it with such ease.

The power of the Phoenixes’ Almighty Being was so strong that it could leave a deep impression on people through such small things.

At this time, Feng Xiang frowned slightly. He gently tapped with his right hand, and the white light instantly condensed. It was like a strand of silk that fused into his body and disappeared.

“What’s wrong?” Ou Yangming’s eyes flashed with surprise as he asked with concern.

Feng Xiang’s face was filled with bitterness. His throat moved slightly, but he swallowed his words.

Ou Yangming’s face revealed a look of understanding as he added in a low voice, “Brother Feng Xiang, if it’s not convenient for you to say it, it’s fine.” He was being frank and sincere.

“Actually, there’s no harm in saying it. It’s just some family matters. Brother Ou, please don’t laugh.” Feng Xiang took a step and walked to the edge of the flying boat. He looked at the starlight above his head that could be grabbed if he raised his hand. His tone became melancholic as he organized his words in his spiritual world.

After a while, he said in a low voice, “The Phoenixes are one of the undisputed rulers of the Great Wide World. Their influence is extremely wide, and they have numerous vassal races.”

Ou Yangming crossed his arms in front of his chest and walked to his side. He nodded slightly and signaled for him to continue.

Feng Xiang continued, “There’s no lack of scheming and vying for power among the rich and powerful. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.” When he said this, his eyes were somewhat gloomy.

“Indeed. When faced with fame, wealth, and power, even the heart of a saint will be moved. It’s easy to say that you don’t covet power and aristocracy and that you don’t love vanity, but it’s very difficult to do it. This is the bad nature of one’s character, and it’s very difficult to change.” Ou Yangming nodded in agreement.

At this moment, he thought of the Teng family and the Xue family. Were they not fighting to the death for the Self-examination Mirror? Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was still very puzzled. At this time, the Phoenixes were in the midst of many troubles. Would they not be giving the Dragons a chance to seize the throne?

A man without foresight would have immediate worries. As one of the overlords of the Great Wide World, the Phoenixes should not be so stupid.

Although Ou Yangming had many thoughts in his mind, he still looked like he was listening closely.

Feng Xiang held the edge of the flying boat with both hands and continued, “Because of this, the Phoenixes are now divided into 3 sects.”

“3?” Ou Yangming turned to stare at Feng Xiang.

“Yes, I’ll have to bring up the origin power at this point,” Feng Xiang said softly as he looked at the constantly passing nebulas.

Ou Yangming was very curious, but he did not urge Feng Xiang. He only focused and did not want to miss any details.

Feng Xiang told Ou Yangming that the origin power was hidden in the heart of origin and was sealed by the heart. Despite that, over the past 10,000 years, the heart of origin had been shaken several times, and cracks had even appeared. It was possible that the seal would collapse one day. When that time came, it would be the time for the Dragons and the Phoenixes to fight. The entire Great Wide World would be embroiled in war but almost 20% of the Phoenixes who had been afflicted with great suffering by the war were tired. They did not want to fight anymore, and they longed for peace because war brought only pain. It was because of this that a different voice appeared within the Phoenixes, which were the Peacemaking Sect.

It was not that the Peacemaking Sect did not want to fight, but they wanted to completely seal the origin power.

In this way, the Dragons and the Phoenixes would lose their reason to fight.

Ou Yangming pondered for a moment then asked in a deep voice, “You mean to say that the Peacemaking Sect is trying to seal the origin power?”

“Yes, but the Main Combat Sect isn’t willing to do that. They want to obtain the origin power, reverse the great path, kill the Dragons, and rule the world.” Feng Xiang twisted his neck and stretched.

“The Main Combat Sect? The Peacemaking Sect? What about the other sect?” Ou Yangming looked into Feng Xiang’s eyes and asked unhurriedly.

“The Neutral Sect.” Feng Xiang’s eyes were burning.

Ou Yangming asked with a half-smile, “Which sect are you from, Brother Feng Xiang?”

Feng Xiang looked at Ou Yangming deeply and answered, “The Peacemaking Sect.”

‘As expected,’ Ou Yangming thought to himself.

The flying boat suddenly fell silent, and only the sound of the wind could be heard. All kinds of strange scenes flashed past.

Feng Xiang glanced at Ou Yangming from the corner of his eyes and asked probingly, “Brother Ou, I heard that you have the power of the Dragons and the Phoenixes at the same time. Is that true?” When he asked this, his voice was somewhat hurried.

“Yes.” Ou Yangming did not hesitate and nodded.

When they were in the Spiritual Realm, Lil’ Red had checked Ou Yangming’s body, so it was not strange for Feng Xiang to know this.

Ou Yangming’s voice was not loud, but when Feng Xiang heard him, he felt like lightning was striking his body. His mind rumbled, and the thought that had originally been hidden in the depths of his heart once again surfaced. Moreover, this time, he saw hope.

He really saw hope!

This was because Ou Yangming was the second cultivator in the Great Wide World to have the power of the Dragons and the Phoenixes.

Ou Yangming did not understand how much shock his response had brought to Feng Xiang. He just quietly looked at the void.

After looking for a moment, he withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at Feng Xiang. He asked, “Something... Big happened in the Phoenixes, right?”

Feng Xiang was slightly startled. He did not expect Ou Yangming to be so serious and meticulous in his observation. He did not hide anything and nodded. “Over the past 1,000 years, the Peacemaking Sect’s strength has gradually weakened. We’ve been suppressed by the Main Combat Sect. Especially when I left the Phoenixes this time, it caused a conflict to burst out between the 2 sects. Only then did the powerhouses from my sect send news and asked me to return as soon as possible. Besides...” He stopped for a moment.

After taking in a breath of cold air, he continued, “Besides, no one in the younger generation of the Peacemaking Sect can shoulder this heavy responsibility. Feng Lin’s very talented, but it’s too young.”

The truth was as Feng Xiang had said. He did not comprehend the power of laws, but he was still a Ruler. Such strength was rare in the Phoenixes.

Ou Yangming let out a soft exclamation and asked, “Lil’ Red didn’t tell you about the refinement of the Small Phoenixes’ World?”

Feng Xiang’s eyes lit up, and his delicate eyebrows squeezed together. Seeing him like this, Ou Yangming was certain that Lil’ Red did not tell Feng Xiang about the refinement of the Small Phoenixes’ World.

Soon, Feng Xiang relaxed his eyebrows and revealed a shocked expression. “Is... Is that true?” Even his breathing was somewhat hurried.

“Yes,” Ou Yangming replied.

He blinked, his thumb and middle finger joined together as he gently flicked outward. A whistling finger wind instantly turned into a white arc and struck the formation. A circle of fine ripples spread out like rain, and he continued, “Though it’s a small world, it has a complete set of laws. It may be small, but it’s complete with every detail. As long as Lil’ Red carefully studies it, it’ll surely be able to comprehend the power of the laws. Its future prospects will be limitless.” These words were not exaggerated nor were they understated. The young fellow was just stating the facts.

In any case, Feng Xiang’s eyes were like burning stars, shining brightly.

Even his arms were trembling. He uttered in surprise, “God bless the Phoenixes. This time, the Peacemaking Sect will finally have a chance to rise.”

In the Great Wide World, even a Ruler who had comprehended the power of laws would not be able to have his own small world. It was simply a divine item that could only be stumbled upon by chance. That was why Feng Xiang was so emotional.

????

After half a month, a star full of vitality appeared in front of Ou Yangming.

Looking down from the sky, the star was blue and light green. It was like a beautiful painting.

Countless mountains towered on the star. Every mountain was a Dragon Bloodline that contained many spirit stones. These mountains intersected with each other and formed an indescribably huge phoenix picture. As the flying boat got closer to the star, the towering mountain range squeezed into Ou Yangming’s sight in a rude and unreasonable manner.

Lil’ Red gently stepped on Ou Yangming’s shoulder, chirping non-stop. Its voice was full of joy.

Feng Xiang smiled faintly and said, “Brother Ou, this star below is the Phoenixes’ headquarters.”

Ou Yangming pinched Lil’ Red and nodded as he praised, “It’s indeed indescribably majestic.” After just a few glances, he already had a plan in his heart. The size of this star was at least 100 times that of the Spiritual Realm. It was truly huge—unimaginably huge.

Feng Xiang smiled confidently. “In the Great Wide World, the Phoenixes’ cultivation resources are one of the top three.”

Ou Yangming nodded and thought to himself, ‘No wonder the Phoenixes are so powerful and can dominate the world. It turns out that they have such a profound foundation.’

He was still on the flying boat, but he was frightened as if a mysterious power was hiding in the dark. Once it exploded, it would certainly shake the world and destroy everything.
