Chapter 565: Chapter 331: Siege of the Heaven’s Chosen One_2
Upon seeing Feng Qing’an express interest, the lord of the dwarf city appeared to be somewhat serious, even reluctant to tell him about the location of the capital city he was going to.
“Is the situation really this severe? I wonder which deity has favored them?”
Feng Qing’an looked surprised and then proceeded to inquire with utmost seriousness.
Deities, Earth Spirits, and Spirits nurtured by incense and prayer
These represent three different types of spirits in the Dao of the Gods.
Compared to the spirits nurtured by incense and prayer, which are found everywhere due to the proliferation of the human race, and the Earth Spirits that inevitably appear wherever there are high mountains and great rivers,
Traces of deities can hardly be seen in today’s world; one could say they are nearly non-existent.
What is a deity?
The stewards of the Qi of the Nine Heavens can be called deities!
To put it simply, a deity, an entity born at the beginning of the world when chaos was first separated, would be a spirit that controls a certain form of Heavenly Dao and is even rarer in number than the Innate Gods and Demons.
Such spirits naturally diminish in numbers with each death. The ever-perfecting Heavenly Dao can hardly tolerate the control of free-willed beings, even if it’s only partial control.
Therefore, most of the deities one encounters in the world today are either the shameless ones who declare themselves as deities, or ignorant spirits who, without knowing what a deity is, call some very strong entity a deity.
Feng Qing’an believed that the deity who had bestowed blessings upon the people of Goose Country was almost certainly the latter. How could there possibly be a true deity in this Cave Sky?
Of course, there is no need to argue with these dwarf people who care about face-saving. In order to find out more information, he would just follow along with their topic of conversation.
“This is not information that we can discover. I know that you are full of curiosity about the world now, but I must warn you that there are some secrets in this world that we cannot touch. These noble entities could bring disaster upon us simply by us knowing their names. This is something we cannot bear.”
“Knowing the name can bring disaster?”
Feng Qing’an’s expression instantly turned peculiar, what kind of evil deity is this?
Not at all, do these things even deserve to be called gods? Shouldn’t they be called demons?
“Yes.”
“I appreciate your advice, I will remember what you have said.”
“Go to our capital city and find the Great High Priest. Shan Yu country is a good place; if you go there, bring a pot of our Jiaorao Country’s fine wine.
I’ve always been curious; can a pot of wine really make the whole country drunk? If it’s true, can you come back and tell me? I’ve been curious my entire life, but I’ve never had the chance to verify it.”
“Okay.”
Feng Qing’an set off once again, leaving the seemingly ordinary dwarf city, heading towards their capital city. This is just a slightly larger city. Apart from its scale and proportions being smaller than any human dynasty capital city, there isn’t much difference between them.
Feng Qing’an, who towers over the residents of Jiaorao Country, naturally drew attention when he appeared. However, his credibility, gained from him stepping on the Black Mountain with flames underfoot, earned him the respect he deserved. After expressing that he had no hostile intentions and was just trying to inquire about the Shan Yu country, he was well received.
However, on the banquet prepared in his honor, when Feng Qing’an inadvertently mentioned the people of Goose Country, the room fell silent for a moment. The elderly-looking Great High Priest then sincerely advised Feng Qing’an not to pursue the people of Goose Country.
As for the reason, it was exactly the same as what Feng Qing’an first learned—the pursuit of these three-foot-tall people could bring disaster and misfortune upon oneself.
This left Feng Qing’an quite puzzled. He had never read any ancient texts that suggested pursuing those who have been blessed by deities could bring about disaster and misfortune. Either the blessing deity has a problem, or there’s a problem with these dwarfs themselves, or perhaps there is an issue with both.
Feng Qing’an didn’t stay in the capital city of Jiaorao Country for long. It wasn’t very comfortable being constantly on guard. He showed his strength, earned the respect he deserved, but was still treated as a foreign threat and was constantly on alert.
Of course, the most crucial point was that he actually felt a threat in the midst of that city. Even though it looked similar to any ordinary human city, it was just much smaller.
“Black Mountain, should we go to Shan Yu country?”
Feng Qing’an looked down at Black Mountain, who had been following him all the time. This creature, who could already dominate a region, had no opinion when faced with Feng Qing’an’s question.
“Asking you is a waste of time. Youyou, what about you?”
Looking at Black Mountain, who was making whimpering sounds, Feng Qing’an rolled his eyes and then looked at the little phoenix.
“We can go take a look.”
“That God who blessed the people of Goose Country, do you have any clues? Do you think it has something to do with Honghu?”
Feng Qing’an still couldn’t stop thinking about the rumored Goose Country people who could travel a thousand miles in a day, had various abilities, and were fearless of ferocious birds and beasts.
“Unless they become like me, Honghu, the divine bird, will not bring disaster and bad luck to people!” freёnovelkiss.com
Youyou pondered for a moment and answered like that.
“Like you?”
Looking at Youyou, who was all black and devoid of any bright color that a divine phoenix should have, Feng Qing’an immediately fell silent and looked thoughtful.
Although he felt an oppressive Yin Qi in this Cave Sky, it was different from what he had imagined; where demons were running rampant and specters roamed around. At the very least, the little people of Jiaorao Country were living in peace.
“What on earth happened here in the first place? How did you divine birds turn into this ghostly state?”
Feng Qing’an really found it hard to understand.
As he was scratching his head in bewilderment, the sky rumbled and the clouds in the sky, as if they had been cleaved by an invisible giant god’s blade, split into two in an instant.
But this was merely an effect of a powerful Divine Power that had been built up for a long time, releasing uncontrollable residual waves when it erupted.
As the clouds on both sides of the sky dissipated, a deep trench that stretched for dozens of miles appeared on the ground. Above this abyss, that was still spreading to both sides, was a white-clothed young man contemplating where to go.
“I’m sorry, Brother Feng, I must have this Cave Sky. I can only inconvenience you. Alas, I originally wanted to become friends with you, discussing the Heavenly Dao together. But it’s unfortunate that I encountered a Cave Sky.”
Only after a long time did a figure appear in the sky, his face full of regret, talking to himself as if mourning the loss of a dear friend.
“If fellow daoist wasn’t greedy, waited until our ancestors had discussed things, and entered with us, he wouldn’t have become a prey. I wouldn’t have had to lay my hand on fellow daoist. Now, meeting such an end, it can be said that fellow daoist has brought it on himself.
Sad, truly tragic!”
“You hid pretty well, waited so long before finally showing up, almost suffocated me!”
Amidst the roaring golden dragon shadow, a gorgeous Big Halberd, wrapped in lightning, with a water flow swirling around it, slashed down. With enough power to split rivers and divide seas, this single blow shattered the figure that had just appeared.
“Haha, I knew it. Brother Feng has such good luck; he wouldn’t fall so easily. As I expected, fellow daoists, if not now, then when?”
“Right, we can’t miss this opportunity, we won’t get it again. If he meets Hua Qingyu, we won’t have a chance.”
“Brother Feng, it’s time to repay the debt!”
“Why are you talking so much? Just send him on his way.”
