Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The heart of origins was in a mess.

After the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis broke out of the seal, this place had become their world. The Ancient Shamans were all found one by one, and each of them could not escape the fate of being massacred.

In the heart of origins, the other tribes did not have it any better either.

The Qiongqis were originally bloodthirsty tribes. They had been sealed underground for countless years so after they came out, they went out of control. Many creatures were killed by them.

Feng Xiang flew quickly above the heart of origins. His expression was grave. After knowing that Ou Yangming and Feng Ling were trapped here, he immediately opened the passage. Nonetheless, this place had become a different place.

The Golden Crows and the Qiongqis took over and destroyed many creatures. Feng Xiang tried to use the Phoenixes’ contact method, but he did not receive any response. Not only that, but he even attracted a few members of the Golden Crows.

“It’s the Phoenixes!”

After those powerhouses discovered Feng Xiang, they immediately rushed over. The Golden Crows and the Phoenixes were enemies.

Feng Xiang’s gaze was cold, and he coldly shouted.

“You’re courting death!”

Flames flashed, and the 3 Venerable Ones from the Golden Crows instantly turned into thick water. The other 2 saw what happened and turned around to escape as they were frightened.

The phoenix that appeared turned out to be a Ruler of the laws. Out of the 5 of them, only 1 of them was a Ruler. They were no match for him.

Feng Xiang did not give them a chance to escape. He spread his wings and seemed to have teleported.

His sharp claws grabbed at the head of one of the Golden Crows.

The 2 weaker ones were killed instantly as their heads exploded. The other Ruler also did not have the chance to escape. His body fell into Feng Xiang’s power of a law, and he disappeared bit by bit in the raging flames.

After the slaughter ended, before Feng Xiang could even catch his breath…

A terrifying aura came from afar.

Feng Xiang’s eyes widened, and he quickly disappeared from the sky. He had a premonition that the power had reached the second step of the laws and was far from something he could contend with.

He quickly went to the position where he had come in from and returned once more.

His expression was unsightly. In the heart of origins, he had tried many methods but was unable to make contact with Feng Lin.

This meant that Ou Yangming and Feng Lin were not in a good situation.

“Feng Tian, if something happens to Feng Lin, I won’t let you off!” Feng Xiang’s eyes were filled with anger. After returning to the 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain, he went to Feng Tian’s residence.

Feng Tian stood on the Seven Stars Tower with his hands behind his back. His expression was cold. “Feng Xiang, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have someone backing you up. I’m an elder of the Phoenixes, so I don’t need to explain to you what I want to do.”

He had a grim look on his face as well, but it was not because of Feng Xiang’s provocation. Feng Xiang was a genius of the Phoenixes so when he previously asked Feng Hai to seal the passage, he had predicted that this day would come. What made him uneasy was that Feng Xinxiao had disappeared without a trace.

His son, Feng Xinxiao, had never contacted him again after comprehending a law. It was also because of this that he did not stop Feng Xiang from entering the heart of origins.

“Feng Xiang, as an elder, let me ask you something. After you enter the heart of origins, have you discovered any other members of the Phoenixes?” Feng Tian was also slightly anxious.

“No!”

Feng Xiang shouted coldly and flew into the sky toward the back of the mountain.

He was just an ordinary member of the Phoenixes while Feng Tian was an elder. Before he became an elder, his status would always be lower than Feng Tian’s.

Feng Mu sat upright on a huge rock at the back of the mountain. He looked at Feng Xiang with a sharp gaze. “I already know why you’re here.”

Feng Xiang cupped his hands and said anxiously, “Elder, Ou Yangming and Feng Lin are still in the heart of origins.”

“Don’t worry. Feng Lin’s soul essence is still here,” Feng Mu noted.

“How can I not worry? Do you know what the heart of origins is like now? It has been occupied by the people of the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis. They’re very powerful. There must be powerhouses in the second step of the laws in those clans. Ou Yangming and Feng Ling are only Venerable Ones. If they’re discovered by those clans in that place, the consequence would be unimaginable.”

Feng Xiang was very emotional. If he had known that this would happen, he would never have left the 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain.

Feng Mu was calm as he responded in a low voice, “Feng Lin’s fine, and Ou Yangming’s definitely safe for the time being. He’s much stronger than Feng Lin, so he’ll be fine for sure. They might be hiding somewhere right now.”

“But I didn’t feel Feng Lin’s aura at all in the heart of origins.” Feng Xiang’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

“If they’re not in the heart of origins, they’re possibly hiding somewhere else. This isn’t the only path out of the heart of origins,” Feng Mu replied with a gentle gaze.

There were not many ways to enter the heart of origins in the Great Wide World, but the Phoenixes were not the only ones with a passage to go there. Whether it was the Dragons, the Humans, or some other rare secret realms, they all had a special connection with the heart of origins.

Feng Xiang’s expression gradually eased up. If they were fine, everything would be fine. He said in a low voice, “After this, Ou Yangming will surely have a grudge against us. It’ll be difficult for him to believe us in the future.”

It was not them who had deceived Ou Yangming, but this debt would still be on the Phoenixes.

“Elder, what should we do with Feng Tian?” Feng Xiang’s expression was gloomy.

Feng Mu looked into the distance and sighed. “Our ancestor’s about to come out of seclusion. I believe our ancestor will have his judgment on how to deal with this.”

The green flying boat flew at high speed in the sky. After about 2 months, Ou Yangming finally arrived at the Mystic Sky Immortal City.

It took him 2 months to arrive here even though flew at high speed. It was obvious how far away he was.

Not far from the Immortal City, Ou Yangming found a remote place to land. Due to the trouble he faced the last time, he did not bring Lil’ Red and Big Yellow out this time. He threw them both into the poisonous pill’s world.

The Mystic Sky Immortal City was different from Beishan City. The core place of the Humans here was filled with powerhouses. Ou Yangming also needed to keep a low profile here.

This Immortal City was very lively. There were almost no ordinary people below Spiritualists here.

The spiritual Qi here was dense. As long as one practiced diligently, even if one was not talented, it would be easy to become a Spiritualist.

There were also many Venerable Ones above Spiritualists. Several of them could be seen in a place, but there were very few Rulers.

In the Great Wide World, no matter where one was, Rulers were considered top-notch powerhouses.

Ou Yangming found a tavern and walked in. No matter where he was, people at taverns were the most well-informed.

“Give me a pot of good liquor and a few plates of dim sum.”

Ou Yangming found a spot with many people and sat.

He ate while listening to the discussions of the people around him. Cultivators rarely talked about family matters, so everyone talked about cultivation-related matters.

This was very important to Ou Yangming, who had just arrived. The people around him had changed a few times throughout 4 hours. The young fellow had gained a rough understanding of the Mystic Sky Immortal City.

Unfortunately, he did not hear any news about the Mystic Sky Sect. Perhaps the sect was too powerful. Everyone probably knew about them so there was nothing to gossip about.

Just as Ou Yangming was about to pay the bill and leave, a few strong men with big sabers walked in. Their conversation attracted Ou Yangming’s attention.

“The monster on the small hill has finally been dealt with. Luckily, there were powerhouses from the Mystic Sky Sect. Otherwise, who knows how many villages would’ve been destroyed by that monster.”

“The powerhouses from the Mystic Sky Sect are formidable. The venomous python was quite strong, right? Last time, a Ruler was swallowed by it. In the end, it was still killed by that powerhouse from the Mystic Sky Sect with one sword strike.”

“That powerhouse should be a powerhouse of the Mystic Sky Sect’s Sword Sect. Ah, if only I could join the Mystic Sky Sect.”

The man next to him smiled and said, “These few days, aren’t the people of the Mystic Sky Sect accepting outer sect disciples at the square opposite the World Chamber of Commerce? Why don’t you give it a try?”

That person from before laughed bitterly. “You only know how to make fun of me. Who doesn’t know that the Mystic Sky Sect only accepts outer sect disciples under the age of 50? If I were to go at my age, I’d be chased out for sure. Besides, even at my age, I’m still far from talented. I heard that if one wants to enter the Mystic Sky Sect, one must have High Grade talent.”

Along with this topic, these people continued to chat about many things related to the Mystic Sky Sect.

‘Mystic Sky Sect, outer sect disciple?’

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. ‘Isn’t this my opportunity to enter the Mystic Sky Sect?’ He put down a few high-grade spirit coins, stood up, and walked out.

The World Chamber of Commerce was the same as the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce. They were both top-tier big chambers of commerce on the Zhenwu Continent, and their reputations were prominent. Ou Yangming asked a random person to find out its location.

Opposite the World Chamber of Commerce was a large open space. At this time, there were many people gathered there. Ou Yangming walked over. Since there were too many people, he used a bit of his true essence, and the people around him were gently pushed away.

Only when he came to the front did he see what was going on here.

A few young men in grey robes stood at the side. They cast sidelong glances at the people here, and they were full of arrogance and confidence.

Not far from them, there was a middle-aged man. In front of him was a crystal bead, and a young man with an immature look was undergoing a test there.

“Low Grade talent. Next!”

The elder looked at the bead and announced. The young man had a disappointed look on his face, but he could only leave helplessly.

Another young man walked out from the crowd. He walked over nervously, and the elder repeated what he had said countless times.

“Put your hand on the crystal.”

The young man stretched out his hand, but there was no reaction on the crystal, and the old man’s eyelids did not even move at all.

“Next.”

Another young man stood out.

“Low Grade talent. Next.”

“Low Grade…”

“Low…”

…

“Middle Grade, next.”

90% of the young men in line only had Low Grade talents. Some of them could not even touch the crystal.

Occasionally, a few Middle Grade ones were also eliminated.

The Mystic Sky Sect’s criteria for the candidates was very clear. One must have High Grade talent and must be under the age of 50. It was worth noting that these were only requirements for an outer sect disciple.

A well-dressed young master walked out from the crowd. Unlike the others, he did not look nervous. He seemed to have a plan in mind..
