Spirit Vessel

Chapter 952: Fairy

The flames on the island eventually subsided. The ground was scorched black with nothing left but smoke. Some tiny embers remained on the cracks.

There was nothing left of Mo Taiqu outside of his spear. Demonic energy still flowed through it, looking intimidating.

Feiyun grabbed the spear. It started shaking violently and the soul within howled, wanting to escape his grasp.

“Screech!” A phoenix screech came from inside him and suppressed the soul in the spear. This allowed him to lift it up.

It was made from a violet crystal and weighed one hundred thousand pounds. Various metals were embedded on the surface. 

“Where’s Mo Taiqu?” The spectators became startled.

They saw Taiqu using his Inferno Domain earlier and had the upper hand. Why did he disappear and leave his weapon behind?

Feiyun caressed the spear and smiled: “Mo Taiqu overused his domain and died to it.”

“What the hell, he died to his own domain, hahaha!” Thirteenth started laughing but looked around and saw that no one else was, so he stopped.

Huang Yuchang said: “It doesn’t matter, it is still Brother Feng’s victory. Even someone like Mo Taiqu lost to you, you’re worthy of being the number one genius of the half-demons.”

Liu Suzi’s cross-dressing didn’t hide her beauty. She smiled and said: “I’m sure you’ll become even more renowned after this.” 

She wanted to use Feiyun’s momentum to lower her opponents’ morale. It was akin to flexing her muscles and telling them about her power.

Huang Tian and Murong Sande on the other side stood up, increasing their aura. They seemed to be asking for a fight.

However, Liu Suhong stopped them. She offered them a cup of wine each then said: “It’s just a matter of luck, Taiqu’s merit law had a problem, that’s why he lost to a half-demon.”

“First Princess, do you wish to try too?” Ninth laughed.

“I’m sure no one here wants to fight the first princess, don’t bother, Ninth.” Huang Yuchang and Young Lord Shao smiled.

The two sides cared about morale and momentum so they chose their words carefully, wanting to gain the upper hand before the battle.

Suddenly, an old figure surrounded by a dense aura landed on Feiyun’s island. He wielded a long sword and pointed it at Feiyun: “Junior, you killed our successor. You will die as well today.”

He was none other than Mo Taiqu’s dao protector. He had this position for many years now.

Mo Taiqu was the chosen successor of Crimson Wood Domain. His status was far higher than someone like Xiao Tianrui. Thus, his death would cause quite a storm. Even the domain lord of Crimson Wood would become involved.

Lord Kong Hou and Lord Fu Ying joined the fray at the same time, using their techniques to force the old man back.

Lord Kong Hou wielded a large ax proportional to his large frame. He shouted: “This is a competition of the young generation. You’re not allowed to interfere.”

“If you dare to lay a hand on our genius, all half-demons in Crimson Territory will not let this go.” Lord Fu Ying grew a pair of wings behind him.

The old man paused. Half-demons were weak and had low status. Alas, they had too many members. Some top-ranking half-demons were strong enough to fight Heaven’s Emergence cultivators. Going against all of them would be unwise.

Liu Suzi spoke as well: “An old senior dares to bully a young genius? This is disrespecting the Territory Lord of Crimson.”

The old man became afraid; cold sweat ran down his back as he hurriedly said: “I only want to take back our treasure. I do not have any intention of interfering with the young-gen competition.”

Feiyun looked at the spear and smiled: “This spear belongs to the giant ants, not your domain.”

The old man was furious: “Our young lord seized it on the battlefield, of course it belongs to our domain.”

“Well, I seized it from him so it’s mine now.” Feiyun retorted.

The old man was livid. The glint on his sword flashed brightly but he refrained himself from killing Feiyun in public.

“Junior, you will pay for what you have done today.” He glared at Feiyun before leaving.

Feiyun returned to the first island while holding the spear. The other geniuses became envious and jealous.

Though they were from medial clans, they still didn’t have access to a weapon of this level.

Other geniuses from Firmament City had entered Void as well. However, they chose not to do anything after seeing Feiyun’s abilities and quietly left.

“Brother Feng, is your master really a member from an immemorial temple?” Ninth started a conversation.

Everyone became interested in Feiyun’s response.

“Well, I’m afraid I can’t say.” Feiyun chuckled.

They had a disappointed expression, thinking that he was hiding something. Of course, the geniuses dropped the issue and began chatting happily among themselves.

Nine bells from the main mountain named Void suddenly interrupted their conversation. There was a jade palace built on top with many pathways leading up to it.

A beauty sat inside the palace; fog hid her appearance.

“That’s the successor of Void this generation, Celestial Fairy.”

“Rumor has it that she was gifted since birth, the best of Void since time immemorial. Her suitors are all over Sixth Central, all the top geniuses too from noble clans and great powers.”

“I heard that she had dao discussions with paragons before.” 

Everyone became excited about this legendary character and couldn’t stay calm.

She held a pen while exuding a transcendent aura. Other cultivators became breathless at this sight.

“I wish to draw the azure. Could anyone help with the ink grinding?” Her pleasant voice was attuned with nature. Even an evil person would start feeling peaceful.

This was the best chance to get close to her – a true honor. Even the nobles rarely had this opportunity.

“I will!” Young Lord Yu started riding a cloud towards Void Mountain.

“No, grinding ink for the fairy is a supreme honor. Let me.” Huang Tian was even faster and attacked with his spear.

Young Lord Yu stopped and formed a seal, starting a fight between the two. Sharp rays came out from each exchange.

“I wish to see the fairy’s transcending appearance.” Another genius joined the fray – the successor or a different domain. He turned into a shooting star and rushed towards the mountain.

“You’re not worthy.” Murong Sande unleashed a draconic palm strike, causing this successor to fall while vomiting blood.

Others realized that this was the playground of the top dogs. It was best to stay away.

Murong Sande was fierce while wearing a soul armor. His oppressive glare intimidated his peers.

He flew towards Void but then heard a gale coming from behind – a massive fist technique.

“Thirteenth, even your ninth brother doesn’t dare to fight me!” Murong Sande turned around and retaliated with a punch.

Thirteenth was blessed with godlike physicality at birth. His hair started standing upward and he became covered in a red radiance. His innate talent was actually better than both Eighth and Ninth.

However, he lacked intelligence and craftiness so he couldn’t become a top competitor for his clan’s successor position.

“You have to get through me first before fighting my ninth brother!” Thirteenth roared thunderously like a wild beast.
