Chapter 351 Extinguishing the Sun
"Brother, take me away!"
Feng Qing'an, who felt like he was floating up when he walked, found the source of Dharma who was preaching on a high platform in the Bodhi Temple in the Ghost Kingdom.
At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he looked haggard. He looked just like a playboy who had indulged himself in a brothel for several days and nights, and all his energy was exhausted.
"But are you satisfied?"
Seeing Feng Qing'an looking extremely miserable but still with a strange look of satisfaction on his face, Fayuan remained unmoved. He had expected this scene.
“Satisfied.”
"Then let's go!"
Fayuan stood up and, ignoring the pleading of the monks around him, left with Feng Qingan. Not long after they disappeared, a tall and slender woman as beautiful as a blooming datura flower appeared here.
"A true protector!"
Donghuang stood in the Buddhist temple. Many monks and ghost kings were as silent as cicadas, not daring to make the slightest sound. After feeling the lingering Buddha light around him, the king sighed.
"I am not as good as you!"
"Jiuling, are you okay?"
After being brought back to the cave heaven by Fayuan, Feng Qing'an immediately summoned the cave heaven spirit that was happily eroding the ownerless cave heaven, and asked it about the progress.
He did not truly control this cave spirit. This creature obeyed him only out of its own will, so Feng Qing'an could not feel any specific changes.
"Master, it's almost there, can you wait a little longer?"
"How close is it?"
Feng Qing'an was obviously impatient. His perception of time was still stuck in the mundane realm of a lifespan of no more than a hundred years, and he couldn't keep up with these things that could easily last for tens of thousands of years.
"Master, I have found the remains of the phoenix. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Jiu Ling wisely did not get entangled with Feng Qing'an, but instead threw out another thing that Feng Qing'an was extremely interested in. Feng Qing'an indeed diverted his attention as he expected.
The remains of a fallen phoenix that reached the celestial realm, who could ignore this? Oh, his elder brother could remain indifferent, but how many people in this world could reach the realm that his elder brother had reached?
He still couldn't figure out what kind of person his elder brother was, but that didn't stop him from leaving everything to his elder brother with peace of mind. After all, his elder brother had reached such a realm, so what was there worth seeking with what he had?
"Go and have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Qing'an suddenly felt a rolling heat wave coming towards him. A fireball was burning fiercely, seemingly not far away from him, yet very far away.
Just by looking at this fireball, Feng Qing'an felt a shudder in his body and even in his soul. This was the fire that he could never touch now. Even if he came into contact with it a little bit, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
But even so, Feng Qing'an also saw that at the core of the fireball, there was a huge phoenix curled up in a ball, as if it was sleeping peacefully.
"This is..."
Looking at the phoenix that seemed to be sleeping, Feng Qing'an felt a shock that was difficult to describe in words, gushing out from the bottom of his heart. He looked down at his feet as if he had realized something.
Suddenly he saw the magnificent and beautiful mountains and land spreading out beneath his feet. Mountains, hills, plains, basins, deserts, rivers and lakes... all kinds of different landforms appeared under his feet, but everything was so small, so small that he could cover half of the world with just one stretched out hand.
Of course, this was just an illusion. He had not yet reached the point where he could cover half of the world with one hand, even if it was just a small cave world. The reason for this was that he was standing high enough.
It was high enough that he could overlook the cave world. He was now standing at the same height as the sun, shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Yes, this cave world has a sun, which is not a projection of the laws of heaven and earth, but the remains left behind by the fall of the phoenix. Feng Qingan never expected that the remains of the phoenix that he had been thinking about were always hanging above his head.
"Master, you just need to look at it now, but don't touch it. The place where you are now is the safest place for you to stay. If you go any further, even I can't protect you."
Jiu Ling's loyal voice sounded, and it also revealed an extremely cruel fact to Feng Qing'an.
You can only look at it but not touch it, you can admire it from a distance but not play with it.
Feng Qing'an understood the truth, but he already knew the location of the real remains of the Celestial Phoenix, but he was still left watching. It was like having an advantage but not being able to take advantage of it. It was too uncomfortable.
"I can only watch? I can't pluck a feather. It's just one feather."
"Master, please don't embarrass me."
"Okay, I won't pick them myself, but you can pick a few for me. That should be fine. Don't tell me you can't do it."
"Master, I really can't do it."
"Aren't you the spirit of the cave? Didn't the remains of the phoenix become the sun of the cave? Didn't you claim to be able to control everything in the cave? How come you can't even pick a few hairs? What use are you?"
Feng Qingan was a little puzzled.
“Master, this Phoenix was a celestial being when she was alive. Even after her death, her remains have become a law domain of their own. Without permission, even I would find it difficult to break through by force.”
"With permission?"
Feng Qing'an was startled.
"Isn't it said that the phoenix is already dead? Why do we need permission? Is she still sane?"
“Of course not. Her soul split into the Phoenix Clan you have seen. This is her method of reincarnation and life extension. However, the body she left behind still retains its instincts.
If anyone other than the Phoenix Clan approaches, it will probably cause this body to instinctively counterattack. Unless you have the power to crush this immortal's flesh, you'd better not get close."
Jiu Ling gave a very sincere and professional suggestion, and Feng Qingan was immediately annoyed. If he had the terrifying power to suppress the physical body of a celestial being, then what was the point of using the materials from the celestial being? Wouldn't it be enough to just use the materials from his own body?
"Just possessing the aura of the Phoenix Clan will allow you to get close?"
Feng Qingan, who was about to explode, suddenly noticed the key point.
"Yes."
"That shouldn't be a difficult thing for me."
Feng Qing'an, who was about to give up, suddenly became interested and directly summoned the Immortal Phoenix Youyou.
"Feng Qing'an, are you looking for me?"
The little phoenix flapped its wings and landed on Feng Qingan's shoulder, but she soon noticed the huge fireball not far away that illuminated the mountains and rivers of the Dongtian Realm, and saw a phoenix that seemed to be sleeping in it.
"What do you need me to do for you?"
Looking at the remains of the phoenix, Youyou examined it for a moment and then asked Feng Qingan.
"I...want to get closer."
Feng Qing'an originally wanted to use Youyou 's power to pick something from the remains of this celestial phoenix. After all, any feather of this phoenix could be used as a magical weapon.
But when he noticed the way Youyou looked at the phoenix, he immediately changed his mind. After all, this was Youyou's previous life.
If he borrowed the power of Youyou to grab something from the phoenix, wouldn't it be like dragging someone to dig up his own grave in his previous life? How could he do such a wicked thing?
"Come closer for what?"
"have a look."
"Just watch?"
"Um!"
The phoenix fire, full of ominousness and evil spirit, wrapped around Feng Qing'an. Being wrapped in such flames, Feng Qing'an did not feel any discomfort. Instead, the burning and stinging sensation brought by the sun, which seemed to be extremely far away and yet extremely close, was mostly weakened in an instant.
Under the protection of the pure-blooded Phoenix, Feng Qing'an crossed the safe distance set for him by Jiu Ling and approached the Phoenix. The closer he got, the more Feng Qing'an could feel the terrifying power of the celestial being.
Even though the other party has fallen, the remains he left behind are like the sun, shining with eternal light and illuminating the cave world.
"Youyou, can you swallow this phoenix and inherit her power?"
When approaching to a certain distance, Feng Qing'an stopped moving even though he could have continued to move forward, because the size of the phoenix was too huge. Just its fluttering feathers were hundreds of miles long. Even an immortal would not be willing to bear the pressure brought by such a terrifying size.
"I can only access a portion of the power."
Youyou tilted her head and thought for a moment, then gave an answer that surprised Feng Qingan.
"Can it really be inherited?"
He never expected that there would be such an unexpected surprise. If Youyou could devour the power of this phoenix and continue to advance and become stronger, he would also be able to gain tremendous benefits. To round it off, he would also become stronger.
"All phoenixes can do it, but no one will inherit this power. This power is needed here."
"Master, this is the sun. If you erode its power, not to mention extinguishing it, even if you just make it dim, I'm afraid countless creatures in this cave world will be killed or injured."
Jiu Ling jumped out at this time and reminded Feng Qingan of what he had overlooked.
If all the Phoenix clans can inherit the power of the Phoenix remains that have turned into the sun, then why is this sun still hanging here, like the eternal sun, shining for thousands of miles?
In the final analysis, it is because no member of the Phoenix clan has ever thought of coveting it. The Phoenix is very kind. Even if the way to ascend to heaven is right above its head, it only needs to fly high into the sky to gain immortality. However, such immortality requires the sacrifice of all living beings in the world.
"I see."
Feng Qing'an suddenly realized this and looked at the remains of the phoenix with no more attachment, unless he could find a sun that could replace the remains of the phoenix.
Before that, don't even think about taking the sun. This paradise will soon be under his control, and the creatures living in it will be his. There is no need to waste your things.
After March
Feng Qing'an, whose stature was becoming taller and more majestic and whose youthfulness was no longer noticeable, finally waited for the good news from Jiu Ling.
"Master, I have successfully refined and controlled this cave, you can set off now."
“Why do I feel like nothing has changed?”
Feng Qing'an frowned slightly. Because there was a layer of separation, Feng Qing'an was not aware of the changes. If he had to say something, it was that when he was walking in this cave, he felt that everything around him was extremely close to him.
"Master, if you want to see some changes, I'm afraid you have to wait until I slowly move this cave out of the Netherworld and merge it with the Nine Longevity Cave. Only then will you be able to feel the difference."
Jiu Ling explained, and Feng Qing'an understood immediately that this guy had only gained control and had not yet caused any substantial impact on this cave.
"How long will it take you to move the cave out of the netherworld?"
Feng Qing'an knew everything in this cave. The disasters and misfortunes originated from the place where it was located. If it were in the human world, an immortal phoenix like Youyou would never be born, and there would be no need for a whole race to bear the consequences and turn into a walking disaster.
"It's hard to say how long it will take, but even the shortest time may exceed your tolerance, so just do what you like, and leave the rest to me."
"Ten years? Twenty years? Or sixty years?"
"If there is no external intervention, it will take at least sixty years."
"Too long."
"This is a cave world."
Jiu Ling couldn't help but sigh that his master was so greedy and insatiable. It was quite amazing that he could move a cave world. This broke common sense.
"Master, if you want it to be faster, then you can take back the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit as soon as possible. Then you can do it as fast as you want."
"Let's talk later."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing'an no longer despised it. He hadn't even chosen the path he wanted to take yet, so what was the point of talking about the immortal fruit? Once he arrived at the Tianlong Temple, he would disperse his power.
"Brother, let's set off!"
Feng Qing'an directly found the source of the law who was meditating and chanting scriptures. He could not understand this elder brother's practice, but it did not prevent him from seeing that this elder brother was getting stronger in an orderly manner at a constant speed.
"How do we get to Xilan Continent? Take a sea-crossing flying boat? I have one here."
Feng Qing'an never forgot that he once seized a flying palace. That thing was originally used by the once glorious immortal sect to communicate across the sea and with other continents.
"Don't bother, just follow me."
Under the feet of the Buddhist disciple in moon-white monk's robe, everything around him began to collapse and turned into nothingness. The Buddha's light, as faint as a gauze, shone, spreading from under the monk's feet, extending into the darkness in the distance, and turning into a golden avenue that looked not very stable.
Om, Ma, Ni, Pa, Moo, Hum
In the void, the six-character mantra of Buddhism gradually sounded, vaguely echoing in the darkness. Then the sound became louder and louder, as if an ancient Buddha was chanting scriptures.
boom--
It was as if thousands of thunders roared at the same time, the void suddenly opened up, and a magnificent and sacred Buddhist pure land suddenly appeared before Feng Qing'an's eyes.
