Chapter 122 - 122: 114: A Sword Opens the Sky (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
The reincarnated fairy monarch masks all heavenly secrets. This time, it was thanks to the leak of Chun Yang’s Qi that they could see the truth. Otherwise, even if they met face to face, they would find nothing and simply regard each other as ordinary people.
“Since you have made your choice, are you ready to face death and the extinguishment of your Tao?”
“How can one live without being pushed to the brink of death?”
East Huang remained resolute, showing no signs of distress from the question. Instead, she questioned the Immortal Bell,
“Senior, this kind of opportunity, even you may only encounter once. If you miss it, you might never have a chance to fully recover!”
“Huang Girl, I couldn’t convince you, but now you’re persuading me. Such an opportunity, I can’t catch it. I don’t have the qualifications to be a protector for a reincarnated fairy monarch!”
The Immortal Bell was clear about its own condition. This girl obviously wanted it to face the heavenly tribulation, but could it bear that now? If it did, the little bit of spirituality that it had barely retained might be erased under the celestial tribulation.
“You don’t have to aim for me. Before the reincarnated fairy monarch, various barriers will surely be set for his reincarnation body, which will not let him fall into the cycle of reincarnation easily!” “But I’m the one who lured it out!”
East Huang’s sword eyebrows furrowed.
What she hated most was shirking responsibility. Since she had provoked this matter, she had to find a way to solve it, instead of consuming Feng Qing’an’s backup plans.
“Not necessarily!”
“Huh?”
“Maybe everything has been arranged, and what’s destined to happen will happen. The Divine Power that a fairy monarch can wield is beyond your imagination. Everything this living ancestor is experiencing now is arranged by him in his previous life, including meeting you and triggering Chun Yang’s Dao fruit today.
He chose to reincarnate here, probably considering you two sisters, and even me. Perhaps we are already in this fairy monarch’s calculations!”
“Falling into calculation?”
What the Immortal Bell said was like a thunderbolt exploding in East Huang’s heart. She stared at Feng Qing’an for two or three breaths, then suddenly smiled,
“Senior, if what you said is true, does it mean that even I, with my incomplete innate origin, have also caught the attention of a fairy monarch? This is indeed an honor, I am grateful!”
“This crazy girl, did someone feed you a love potion? You are happy even when being manipulated?”
The voice of the Immortal Bell grew weaker.
“In this world, how many people have the chance to be manipulated by a fairy monarch? If I can let a fairy monarch spend so much thought on me, then I must not be a discarded piece, right?”
“Crazy, this girl is really crazy! Are you planning to seize the opportunity and change your fate against the heavens?”
“Why not, Senior, are you willing to be trapped in the underworld with me?”
East Huang immediately retorted.
“Is there anything to ask? I’m not willing to, but….”
“But what?”
“Don’t count on me anymore. I am only a damaged artifact. If I am to protect you, I can do whatever it takes. But for this reincarnated fairy monarch, forget it. There’s no need to. Look, that sword!”
Without being reminded, East Huang had already noticed the sword that was always a threat to her, but Feng Qing’an never drew it out.
There was nothing special about the sword, but on its scabbard, an invisible sword intent was surging, as if attracting something.
East Huang turned her head and looked at the bookshelf in the room. That was the source of the righteous Qi covering the courtyard. Although righteous Qi was also erupting from other places, it was most abundant on the bookshelf.
At this moment, the disorganized righteous Qi in the courtyard was converging towards Feng Qing’an in front or, to be more precise, on his sword. A large and powerful hand emerged, gripping the scabbard.
On the hand, the righteous Qi was spreading and intertwining, extending to the wrist and the forearm… In just three breaths of time, all the righteous Qi in the courtyard converged at one point.
A full-figure appeared, tall and straight, magnificent, with a face not clearly visible and crafted from the righteous Qi. Its aura was silent, deep and unfathomable!
Even East Huang unconsciously braced herself. The shattered Immortal Bell above her head chimed, shedding strands of brilliant divine light.
“Don’t worry, this isn’t aimed at us. It must be the fallback plan laid out by the Immortal Monarch!”
The Immortal Bell advised.
Eastern Huang was silent, giving no response. She was questioning why he was reacting so strongly if she wasn’t supposed to worry.
The figure formed by the convergence of golden light, holding a long sword, seemed to possess wisdom. It glanced at Eastern Huang but did not do anything. It then lowered its head to look at Feng Qing’an lying on the bed.
“Huang Girl, look, I told you this was the fallback plan that the Immortal Monarch left behind before reincarnation. They even look remarkably similar!”
After the figure’s gaze swept over her, the Immortal Bell discerned something and was instantly invigorated. Since the Immortal Monarch’s fallback plan had emerged, there was nothing for her to worry about, and Huang Girl would no longer incessantly push her to intervene.
“That’s the Righteous Qi!”
Eastern Huang pointed out, questioning how the Immortal Monarch’s fallback could possibly be made out of Righteous Qi.
“So what? Do you think beings of such realm can’t cultivate anything?”
The Immortal Bell was nonchalant. She had seen too many extraordinary beings, those who walked the immortal way, those who practiced demonic arts concurrently, and even those who practiced martial arts concurrently. Cultivating Righteous Qi was nothing remarkable to her.
“Look!”
The golden figure formed by Righteous Qi looked up at the ceiling. But both Eastern Huang and the Immortal Bell knew what this figure was really looking at, the impending Heavenly Tribulation hovering above.
Zzz-
The sound of a sword being unsheathed echoed, the sword that had never been drawn by Feng Qing’an came out of its scabbard as he lay unconscious. The imposing figure, moving casually, drew the sword, held it in its hand, and with a swing, released just one sword strike!
The sword light flew out, piercing through the roof, without causing any damage to the wooden beams.
At the same moment, amid the tribulation cloud, a myriad of thunder roared. Countless purple lightning bolts exploded within the dark and oppressive cloud, their booming resonating for thousands of miles.
“How is this possible?”
Even within the Immortal Bell, the previously weak voice now rose in pitch in disbelief.
Above the cloud even higher in the sky, the Star and Moon shone brightly, their soft glow spilling down through the split in the cloud, illuminating the Feng family’s estate.
“Is this an Immortal Monarch?!”
Even Eastern Huang, her cold eyes reverberated with an indescribable shock.
How could her eyesight be hindered by the roof made of wood and stone? She could see that the sword light which didn’t harm even a single piece of the ordinary wood, had split the Heavenly Tribulation open with a mere instantaneous flash.
At this moment, a thud was heard as something fell to the ground. Eastern Huang looked down and saw an ancient-looking long sword, its tip embedded into the stone bricks on the floor.
This was a long sword that matched its ancient scabbard perfectly. The sword had no elaborate decorations or inscriptions embodying ancient rhyme, only its chilling radiance was strongly palpable.
“Why just one sword strike?”
The Immortal Bell’s voice was sharp, betraying her agitation. The figure formed by the convergence of golden light had been dissipated so the long sword had fallen to the ground! “Why only one sword strike?”
“Please save us, senior!”
Even though the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky hadn’t collapsed from a single sword strike, it was considerably weakened. Although the gap it had created had healed and there was no visible reduction in its size, Eastern Huang could clearly sense that the heavenly tribulation had weakened!
“Sigh, precisely the reason why I hate encountering beings of reincarnation. They manipulate you without you realizing it, and even when you do, you have no choice but to shield them from the tribulation!”
With a sigh, golden immortal light soared to the sky. The dance of the phoenix and the phoenix serenade echoed as if a group of phoenixes had descended. The purple Heavenly Dragon in the tribulation cloud stirred, and every roar it let out was blocked.
And down below, the small estate remained undamaged..
