Chapter 1036: Immemorial Weapons
“Whoos.h.!.+” A black tentacle came out from a large hole in the wood, looking like a black hand.
Feiyun was only a divine intent and didn’t dare to fight it. He retreated but it kept on chasing him like a fly wanting honey, eventually coiling around him.
“How can this thing trap a formless divine intent?” A sharp pain struck him after the intent was devoured.
It disappeared and the tentacle returned to the hole.
“Ugh.” Feiyun trembled a bit while sitting on an island. He opened his eyes and took a deep breath, thinking about the events just now.
“Is that wood really Immemorial Heavenwood? What was that tentacle too?” He wondered.
“Did you say Immemorial Heavenwood?!” The turtle leaped out and landed on his shoulder, shouting into his ear.
“You know what it is?” Feiyun asked.
“Obviously! The sacred tree of the golden crows, the spine of the world, a tree turning into a saint but alas, it was severed by a great master. This incredible material ended up being used as a coffin, what a shame.” The turtle sighed.
“A coffin for whom?” Feiyun asked.
“A terrifying big shot, invincible during the last stage of the Immemorial Era. The saints could only look up to him but unfortunately…”
“Unfortunately…?” Feiyun frowned, wanting to throw this turtle into the ocean.
The turtle acted cool and enjoyed being mysterious. After a while, he said: “Look, she prepared a coffin for herself, meaning that even she couldn’t live forever. Isn’t that a shame? Okay, take me to the place where you saw that tree, maybe I can answer your question.”
“You got struck by a curse and will be a turtle forever. How can a lowly being such as yourself answer my question?” Feiyun joked.
“f.u.c.k you! If I tell you the name of the curser, you’ll faint from being too afraid. I once stood at the apex with billions of followers. We were unbeatable as we rampaged the battlefields. I gave orders to the saint themselves…” The turtle shouted with saliva flying everywhere.
The turtle simply couldn’t tell the truth. Even the sacred fruit was tricked to be its grandson. Only a fool would take it seriously.
While it continued to shout, Feiyun summoned the spirit vessel.
Its rusty hull spanned several thousand miles and carried an ancient aura. The eighteen banners had holes everywhere while fluttering to the wind.
This was his first time summoning the vessel entirely, revealing its full size. Its aura engulfed the entire kingdom. However, Feiyun has given the order for everyone to stay away from this ocean so none came to disturb him.
The turtle shut its mouth and stared at the colossal s.h.i.+p in astonishment.
“What the h.e.l.l is this thing? Don’t tell me it’s a saint artifact.” It turned into a white beam and landed on the vessel.
“Boom!” However, it ran back right away and shouted: “f.u.c.k, there’s a saint corpse right there. It’s a good thing I ran fast enough or its corpse energy would have obliterated even my soul.”
“The s.h.i.+p can suppress the corpse energy, you don’t need to be afraid.” Feiyun smiled.
“Oh true, since you dared to store the corpse inside your body, what the h.e.l.l am I afraid of? Wait, where did you find this corpse? This aura definitely belongs to a top master.” The turtle asked.
“Don’t you know everything? Guess.” Feiyun landed on the vessel, wanting to enter with his actual body this time.
The turtle followed right behind him. It landed on the deck and shouted: “I saw this pseudo saint artifact first, it’s mine!”
Feiyun grabbed the running turtle by its neck and said: “Don’t you want to see that tree? I’m taking you right now.”
He then flew up the dragon-horse diagram with his phoenix wings and entered the dark expanse again.
Previously, his divine intent didn’t get a full idea of the area. Now, he sensed that this coldness was beyond his imagination. He would have become frozen if it wasn’t for his phoenix domain.
“s.h.i.+t, where is this place? It is boundless just like s.p.a.ce.” The turtle didn’t want to mess around since it sensed danger everywhere: “I think… it’s just a piece of wood, we should leave this place now.”
“Shut up.” Feiyun used his Grand Change Art to calculate the location of the tree.
With that, he leaped from one boulder to another toward the destination.
Suddenly, a mysterious destructive force swept by and destroyed all the boulders nearby. Some were as large as stars yet they were reduced to dust.
Due to its incredible speed, it only flashed for a second before disappearing.
“f.u.c.k! Is that the legendary Cataclysmic Tablet!” The turtle shuddered while watching from a distance.
Feiyun was horrified as well. It took him a while before he spoke again: “I think it’s just a shadow, not the real tablet.”
“This is a taboo artifact, just its shadow can annihilate us. We should leave right now, there might be ominous things from the Immemorial Era here.” The turtle said.
Feiyun shook his head. Did the vessel have something to do with his rebirth? Why ten thousand years later?
This was extremely important so he needed to find out the reasons. Nonetheless, he prepared by putting on his dragon-phoenix armor just in case. After all, even the fearless turtle was afraid this time around.
“Whoos.h.!.+” A while later, they saw a gigantic olden arrow crossing by like a meteor.
If it wasn’t for the armor, Feiyun would have been torn apart by its energy.
“That’s the sacred arrow? One is enough to kill a saint.” The turtle said.
It was referring to the arrows used by Nine-arrow Grand Saint to kill the golden crows. This was a well-known legend.
“Another shadow because the arrows haven’t been seen again since then. They were probably destroyed in the final tribulation of the Immemorial Era.” Feiyun said.
“Do you think we’ve gone back in time?” The turtle asked.
Feiyun became emotional. He hasn’t thought of this before but it was certainly within the realm of possibility.
His soul was touched by the vessel and it sent him ten thousand years in the future. Therefore, returning to the past should be possible.
Shadows of the tablet and arrow were here, clearly showing that this expanse was special somehow.
The two of them eventually found the floating tree, looking like a black mountain range.
“I bet that this is actually a part of the tree. f.u.c.k, we’re rich now, if we can take it out, those golden crow geezers will go crazy.” The turtle said: “Wait, is this a shadow too?”
“No, a shadow wouldn’t be rotten like this. I want to see what’s inside because it swallowed my divine intent earlier.” Feiyun landed on the wood and entered a hole.
“Splas.h.!.+” They saw a stream with muddled water with a wooden stench.
“This is Heavenwood Sacred Spring, extremely beneficial for cultivation. It was rare even during the Immemorial Era.” The turtle was ecstatic.
It jumped into the stream but the moment it drank two mouthfuls, it started turning dark. It leaped out of the water and crawled on the ground: “f.u.c.k… this spring is tainted… Feiyun, help me!!”
