Chapter 1231: Graced By The Phoenix
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Spirit Meridians were shifting!
This sort of thing rarely happened, as the meridians of the spirit essences had become accustomed to the routes it originally flowed through.
Furthermore, in a region like the Sacred East Sky Continent, the Dragon Meridians were already sealed up by a supreme existence, which made it even more difficult to shift them.
Generally speaking, only a catastrophic situation could make the Dragon Meridians shift from their original position.
So why were the six paths of the Dragon Meridians shifting toward a barren mountain like the Songyang Sword Sect? Could the spirit of Tashan’s Patriarch have come alive?
Luo Yunyang didn’t believe that the spirit of Tashan’s Patriarch was coming back to life. If that was indeed true, the Songyang Sword Sect wouldn’t have been destroyed before.
As he pondered this, Luo Yunyang suddenly recalled something he had seen in the scripture repository back in the Taixu Sect: When A Sage Arrives, Meridians Of Spirit Meridians Gather!
Could the talkative Yu Mo actually be a Sage?
Luo Yunyang rejected this notion as soon as it entered his mind. How could a talkative kid like Yu Mo be a Sage?
However, he was the only one on the mountain other than Yu Mo!
Luo Yunyang finally understood what was going on. He was indeed oblivious, as his cultivation base had already surpassed that of the sage mentioned in that sentence by far. It was no wonder the Dragon Meridians would shift toward this location. After all, he was residing on this mountain.
After this realization, Luo Yunyang no longer cared about the situation. He was now in control of what this place was going to look like.
The passage of time was blurry on the mountains! For Yu Mo, it seemed as though the cycle of the sun and moon was being repeated every day. He had nothing more to do except cultivate harder. He would spend an hour every day talking to Luo Yunyang, but other than that, there was nothing for him to do.
He had no idea how many people had visited his mountain in the past month, but the guys who came with malicious intent would somehow get lost after entering the mountain and get sent out.
In contrast to Yu Mo, who was living his life oblivious to what was happening, the Young Master of Longyue Manor was on the verge of going crazy. He was usually really polite to Elder Zheng but he now viewed the old man with dissatisfaction.
“Elder Zheng, what the hell is going on with the people you recruited? They have been to the Songyang Sword Sect more than 10 times but they still haven’t found anyone. Could these people be totally unreliable?” the Young Master hissed.
Elder Zheng was very uncomfortable with the way the Young Master spoke to him. Although he knew the Young Master respected him in a pretentious way, this pretense was still very important to a subordinate like him.
The Young Master’s behavior was like a slap in his face.
“Young Master, I suspect that there are some ancient formation arrays in the Songyang Sword Sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the guys to go inside a dozen times and still get lost.”
Elder Zheng explained patiently. “I also went down there some time ago. When I first entered the Songyang Sword Sect, I did not sense anything wrong about it. However, after walking deeper into the Songyang Sword Sect, I realized that I couldn’t get my bearings either.”
“Did you ask Longfei about this?” the Young Master, who knew that something was amiss but did not want to waste time on it, asked Elder Zheng directly.
“I did. Longfei said nothing is wrong with the Songyang Sword Sect and there aren’t any major formation arrays!” Elder Zheng replied. “I suspect that he is hiding something.”
“Then you better try your hardest to make him spill the beans! I only want results.” The Young Master snapped coldly.
In the past, Elder Zheng would definitely have reassured the Young Master that there would be no problem with dealing with a small sect like the Songyang Sword Sect. Now, he hesitated and only lowered his voice. “I will do my best.”
After watching Elder Zheng leave, the Young Master turned his attention to the jeweled mirror beside him. Although the six-path Dragon Meridians weren’t huge, they were still converging toward the Songyang Sword Sect.
There really wasn’t much time left for him!
Shortly after that, he received a jade talisman that contained a message from Deacon Li. The message from Deacon Li was merely a sentence: ‘Young Master, you’re really taking your time!’
The sentence felt sarcastic!
However, the Young Master understood that Deacon Li wasn’t mocking him but merely urging him to get things done quicker.
He wanted very much to take down the mountain in one fell swoop but he was unable to do so!
“Incompetent! Utterly incompetent!” The Young Master slammed his hand heavily on the table and was about to throw the talisman away before great pressure appeared, causing him to tremble in fear.
The pressure wasn’t directed at him, but the young master felt his knees buckling when this pressure enveloped him.
The Young Master’s cultivation was at the Galaxy Grade. One needed to be at least a Universe-Grade powerhouse to be able to suppress him in such a manner.
Although Elder Zheng was at the Universe Grade, he had always held back his aura when facing the Young Master due to their relationship.
Who was it? Who had dared be so audacious by releasing his aura and wasn’t afraid of someone dealing with them?
The Young Master endured the immense pressure suppressing him and quickly walked out of the hall. He did not use his spirit consciousness to find the culprit because his spirit consciousness could not even leave the hall he was in.
A five-colored mystical cloud hovered, covering half of the sky, and the Young Master saw a five-colored phoenix within it.
A majestic aura came from the five-colored phoenix, and Young Master’s heart thumped even more upon sensing it.
However, he became gloomy when he continued to observe the direction the phoenix was heading in, as the phoenix was actually heading toward the Songyang Sword Sect.
“An auspicious sign. This is an auspicious sign! Dang it, it’s done for this time!”
In the Sacred East Sky Continent, Phoenixes were a force to be reckoned with, as the strongest one was considered a Yuan Sage.
Phoenixes and Humans had an agreement to live in peace together. Many sects would not drive off the Phoenixes living close to them and would even try their best to protect them.
In fact, many sects chose to set up their bases not far from the lairs of Phoenixes because spirit essences and treasures were more abundant where Phoenixes were living.
However, there were just too few Phoenixes in the Sacred East Sky Continent. Even the Shenwu Sect did not possess a piece of paradise capable of enticing a Phoenix to roost on, let alone a small sect like Longyue Manor.
Do not land there. Do not land there no matter what!
The Young Master would still have a chance of occupying the Songyang Sword Sect if the Phoenix did not roost there. Once the Phoenix chose to roost in the territory of the Songyang Sword Sect, there would be no more hope left for him.
While the Young Master was secretly wishing, the silhouette of the Phoenix appeared over the Songyang Sword Sect. It halted the sky for an instant and flew in a circle around the Songyang Sword Sect as if it had sensed something before flying away toward the North.
Seeing this made the Young Master feel relieved all of a sudden. However, he was still creeped out by the fact that the Phoenix had flown in a circle around the Songyang Sword Sect.
Still, it was better than having the Phoenix land there!
As the Young Master was looking forward to the Phoenix leaving and it seemed as though it had flown far away, it silently landed north of the Songyang Sword Sect’s mountain.
All of a sudden, the entire Songyang Sword Sect glowed in five different lights while the six Dragon Meridians, which were going to take a while to show up, suddenly surged forward after being spurred on by the Phoenix.
“The place where the Phoenix lands is the place where the six Dragons gather!” Deacon Li’s eyes lit up the moment he saw the soaring Dragon Meridians and he said coldly, “Look at what you have done, Young Master of Longyue Manor. I would have been fooled by you if it weren’t for the talented lad from the Songyang Sword Sect! However, do you think someone like you can enjoy such a wonderful paradise?”
Immediately, Deacon Li activated a jade talisman and reported back what had happened in the Songyang Sword Sect.
While Deacon Li was busy reporting back, many martialists who saw this phenomenon also quickly reported what they had seen to their respective higher-ups.
Momentarily, the atmosphere around the Songyang Sword Sect surged like a gathering storm as many powerhouses rushed toward the Songyang Sword Sect from all directions.
To Yu Mo, the Phoenix was merely a legendary beast he had read about in books. He should have felt great pressure when the Phoenix had landed, but because Luo Yunyang was around, the Phoenix had held back its aura and Yu Mo hadn’t been affected at all.
However, he did not know what to do with the Phoenix that had settled down at the northern foot of the Songyang Sword Sect’s mountain.
Could something major be about to happen in the Songyang Sword Sect? Was that why the Phoenix had chosen to land there? But he was the only disciple left in the Songyang Sword Sect!
It was as if he was the head of the Songyang Sword Sect now!
“Mister, was I really chosen to resurrect the Songyang Sword Sect? A Phoenix even came on its own initiative. I also feel that the spiritual influence around the Songyang Sword Sect has increased many times all of a sudden and…”
After Yu Mo switched over to his talkative and narcissistic self, Luo Yunyang immediately went on cultivating with his six senses shut off. He did not wish to make his ears suffer by listening to the blabbering man.
However, according to his years of experience, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing for a child to be walking around a bustling city with a pile of gold.
As the person who had started all of this, Luo Yunyang could only take one step at a time and obverse the situation. Of course, Luo Yunyang didn’t mind slaying anyone that was blinded by greed and came looking for trouble.
“Where is the disciple of the Songyang Sword Sect? An elder of the Shenwu Sect has arrived. Why isn’t anyone here to welcome him?” A domineering voice was heard from afar.
Then, another voice was heard. “The Shengzi of the Sacred Ice Palace has arrived.”
“Qing Yue of the Tianhedan Sect is here to see the head of the Songyang Sword Sect!”
