Chapter 1246: Deity’s Approval

Saint laws gathered on Feng Feiyun’s arm and channeled to the bow and arrow.

“Suppression.” He shot out four arrows, surrounding the tablet.

It sensed the incoming threat and activated a destructive force. Cracks appeared on the ground and the arrows shook violently.

“Divine Phoenix Nest!” Soaring Phoenix Queen summoned a nest made of millions of feathers and more than ten thousand phoenix bones at the saint level. They were refined into this nest.

A grand completion Immortal Phoenix Physique only had 999 phoenix bones and they didn’t have to be at the saint level. This nest, on the other hand, was of a much higher level.

“What a powerful saint artifact.” Feiyun glanced at the nest and felt fear.

The nest covered the tablet entirely.

“Rumble!” The tablet smashed the nest repeatedly, wanting to destroy it.

“Open a path to Chaos City.” Soaring Phoenix Queen ordered.

Due to the dao competition, there was a path temporarily leading to the city.

Chaos First City Lord raised both hands. A light shot out from his forehead and summoned a portal.

“Go!” Feiyun landed next to the nest and pushed it toward the portal.

***

Back in the center of Chaos City, a portal suddenly appeared and a fiery nest flew out, landing on the ocean beneath.

“Splash!” The impact caused tsunamis in all directions.

“Xuanyuan Blade, Seal!” Shui Yueting appeared and used a sword energy to seal the ocean. Without this seal, everyone in the city would be killed by the tablet’s malevolent energy.

Feiyun heaved a sigh of relief once the tablet calmed down. He recalled the arrows and considered this a successful mission.

He hurriedly left Chaos City, not wanting to speak to Soaring Phoenix Queen. As for the secrets on the tablet, he left it to the supremes of each race.

***

Back on the cultivation boulder in Nuwa Temple.

Feiyun meditated while holding the mud ear with both hands, wanting to comprehend the dao.

He had 468 saint laws pulsing in his inner core. Each contained immense power. Some belonged to Nuwa, the two sacred ancestors, and the dao of Truth.

Borrowing their souls helped him become more sensitive to the saint dao. In just three days, he created another 368 - a shocking speed.

He chose to cultivate here after leaving Chaos City. The two saints from the grave palace weren’t awakened completely. Thus, they watched and were amazed by his improvement speed.

“Whoosh!” A black temple moved inside his sleeve.

“Fully awakened?” He opened his eyes and asked.

The temple flew out and became larger. A massive power surged out.

The two souls behind him also flew out and returned to the statues. They changed and became living flesh - one gentle and the other imposing.

Chaos City trembled due to their auras. The supremes also realized that two monsters had awakened.

Feiyun felt immense pressure and needed to hide behind the dao manifestation of Saint Nuwa.

Shuhuang gazed at him and said: “Feng Feiyun, fate has brought us together and I wish to recruit you, do you accept?”

The turtle stood at the palace entrance and secretly sent him a message: “This is a godsend opportunity, others can only dream about it.”

Feiyun could see the power of the grave palace, especially when they had these two ancestors now. However, he didn’t wish to be shackled or act subservient to anyone.

“Seniors, I am lazy and do not wish to join any power, I appreciate your kind intention. Of course, if the grave palace ever needs my service in the future, I will be of use.” He said politely.

“Boom!” Shuhuang’s aura suddenly erupted and a palm descended.

She rarely viewed others highly so if this man couldn’t be used, she would grant him a decisive death.

“Boom!” Xueying dispelled the palm strike and hurriedly said: “Feng Feiyun, do you know the consequences of going against a saint?”

“Death.” Feiyun said.

“Then do you know what happens to saints when they oppose my older sister?” Xueying added.

Feiyun didn’t respond.

“Death.” She says: “There are only pros in your joining and you will be able to obtain the Yang Soul Holy Embryo. Entering the saint realm will only be a matter of time and you might become the lord of the palace. Why would you refuse?”

Feiyun understood she was trying to save him.

“Will I still have my freedom?” He asked.

“Of course not, there are rules.” She said.

“I prefer how it is now, not tethered by rules.” He said.

“Fool.” Shuhuang snorted and waved her sleeve in frustration, leaving the area.

He was surprised that she didn’t make a move again.

Xueying shook her head and sighed: “Feng Feiyun, perhaps you dislike her for her overbearing nature, but in reality, she was trying to save you. That palm strike was only an act since she knew I would interfere. When she no longer cares, it shows she is truly furious. This is the end of our ties then, take care of yourself.”

Xueying left and brought the sisters along with the turtle.

Feiyun understood and smirked: “Thank you for your kind intention, I will visit the grave palace given the chance.”

This time, he borrowed their souls and offended many supremes. Without their help, he was nothing more than an insect.

Shuhuang knew this and wanted to guarantee his safety. His refusal infuriated her so she stopped caring about his life.

This made him wonder about their notorious reputation since they tried to help a junior. However, it was true he offended many monstrous existences. Although none would make a move in Chaos City, the situation became grimmer once outside.

He went to find Dongfang Jingyue in the temple but a young nun told him she had left two years ago.

“Chaos City will be the center of attention soon enough, I wonder if they will find anything pertinent.” Feiyun wondered before continuing his meditation.

At the end of the fifth day, a beauty with a sword tied to her back arrived like a gust of wind.

“Congratulations, congratulations.” Feiyun opened his eyes, revealing the glint inside.

“Regarding?” Xuanyuan Yiyi was as perfect as always while wearing a white veil.

“The first is your breakthrough to the pseudo-saint realm. The second is how you have found your ancestral blade again.” Feiyun said.

“You’re missing a third.” Yiyi said.

“Oh?”

“The deity approved our marriage. Well, to be exact, it’s her decision.” Yiyi said.

He couldn’t muster a “congratulations” this time.

The scandal between them was nonsense started by Ximen Chuixiao. However, the deity had sent a decree this time, not just giving her approval.

What was her intent? The whole thing puzzled Feiyun.
