Chapter 147 - 147: 126 Four Wings_2
Cultivation requires balance. If one has already experienced a rapid progression in cultivation, confirmed one’s talent, and understood that he is suitable for this path, it’s time to calm down, refine one’s mentality, so that one’s mindset matches the power they hold.
Increase in pure power is not the only aspect of cultivation, refinement, and transformation of one’s mentality are equally part of the practice. Because this aspect is not visible nor touchable, it is even harder.
“Tonight, the flowers of the Fiery Sun Tree should bloom!”
Feng Qing’an didn’t focus on the Buddha’s light rising from the night sky for long. Turning around, he went towards the gap into the netherworld. Visiting the netherworld every night was his routine.
Upon entering the netherworld, the potent power of the scorching sun flooded his body. Even in the face of the howling Yin Wind, he remained undaunted. He found Nan Ge, drew her eagerly into his embrace amidst her joyous gaze, and took her to the remains of the ancient battlefield.
Before long, under Feng Qing’an’s relentless sprinting, he ascended a mountain that emitted an aura of chilling coldness akin to millennium ancient ice. At the mountain top, he saw a seven-foot-tall jade-like tree emitting a fiery power,
The tree trunk slender and straight, it only had three branches with foliage akin to green jade, merely over twenty leaves. Feng Qing’an thought of cutting down this Fiery Sun Tree to make a superb quality wooden rod. Just a bit of tidying up would do.
Of course, even if he were to lose his mind, he would never do such a thing. He had cared for this tree for half a year and had poured an incalculable amount of Soul Power into it.
“It’s about time for it to blossom. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be appropriate!”
Feng Qing’an’s palm rested on the tree trunk, and a blush-colored Soul Power poured out from his palm.
The Fiery Sun Tree, as always, accepted all the incoming Soul Power. However, while receiving this Soul Power, it also started drawing in the massive Yin Chill energy accumulated in the mountain where its roots lay.
Coo coo!
A flush of red firelight came into being on his shoulder; the enlarged Phoenix-like creature appeared, watching the large flower bud on the second branch that had not yet bloomed, subtly showing anticipation. It would soon have a companion and would no longer be lonely.
Coo coo!
The call of the small fire bird resounded, and a rich floral scent permeated into his soul, invigorating Feng Qing’an’s spirit. The feedback from the Soul Contract let him know that the second flower bud was blooming.
At the same moment, a secret method was delivered.
[Xuan Beast Sect. Sub-mission: Establishing a Sect, Completed!] [Reward: “Soul-devouring Endowment Spell”, do you want to claim it?]
“Claim it!”
After acquiring this secret method, Feng Qing’an turned his attention back to the state of the Fiery Sun Tree.
[Fourth Soul Contract: Fiery Sun]
[Species: Fiery Sun Tree]
[Attributes: Sun, Wood, Heaven]
[Potential Level: Upper-Level Commander]
[Combat Level: Lower-Level Commander]
Although both potential and combat level had risen together, Feng Qing’an wasn’t very satisfied because the potential of the Fiery Sun Tree had not upgraded to the Lord level. However, he understood the reality of this situation and knew not to be anxious. This tree, just like him, seemed to be in a stage of accumulation.

The clear and pleasant chirping of a baby bird sounded. The large bird on Feng QingAn’s shoulder took flight, landing on the already bloomed Fiery Sun Flower and watching as its own kind constructed its body.
Coo cooCoo coo-
The second Essence of Solar Fire born on the Fiery Sun Tree hadn’t yet explored how many different sounds it could make when it was led astray by the larger bird and began to make the call of a pigeon.
However, this also relieved Feng Qing’an’s worry. This newly born little thing can rightly be called Er Gugu, thus there’s no need for him to worry about naming.
Whoosh!
At the moment Er Gugu’s body formed, flames ignited on the two firebirds. The larger of the two, Dagugu, soared into the sky, fluttering above the blazing sun tree. As it circled, it continued growing larger under the cover of flames.
In a very short time, Dagugu, which used to be no larger than a fist and not much different from a sparrow, grew to match the size of a domestic goose.
Although it’s still not large in size, as the Essence of Solar Fire with no real flesh, its size is not the key determinant of its power. The most crucial aspect is the fiery essence it possesses.
Despite being no bigger than a sparrow originally, it was definitely a force even the tigers, leopards, wolves of the mountains dared not provoke. The Ghostly Clan didn’t dare to mess with it either, they steered clear upon sight.
Now, as it grew in size further, it wasn’t just about becoming larger. More importantly, its innate nature also advanced along with the growth of the blazing sun tree.
Coo coo!
The cheerful cry rang out. Dagugu, who felt a surge of growth in its power, was very happy. Er Gugu, who had just been born, too flapped its wings and rushed into the sky to frolic with Dagugu. For a moment, Feng Qing’an found it hard to distinguish between them since their natures were identical.
“Dagugu, come back!”
Feng Qing’an only needed to verbally call out and immediately, one of the firebirds circling in the sky obeyed the command. Its grown size shrank back to its previous small firebird state and landed on the young man’s shoulder.
Coo coo-
The other one landed on a tree branch, tilting its head curiously as it stared at Feng Qing’an. Though Feng Qing’an made it feel affectionate and liked, it didn’t realize what the young man in front of it truly represented.
So, the former scene with Dagugu replayed. Using “Manipulating God Skill,” Feng Qing’an took less than a quarter of an hour to make the newly born Er Gugu understand its own status.
Who is their father!
“Enter! ”
Feng Qing’an knew that the two little beings in front of him had a very unique existence. They were able to integrate into his body smoothly. Once he used the “Manipulating God Skill,” all power naturally fell under his control.
Therefore, the idea he had tried before, but failed, came to his mind again. He thought about giving it another shot. After all, Dagugu had become stronger and now there was Er Gugu. Things were more than just twice as good.
Coo coo-
The two Essences of Solar Fire both entered his body. He felt an extreme familiarity with their power, even though it had greatly increased by now, but he was still able to master it.
Then Feng Qing’an took a deep breath. A warm Yang Flame erupted from his back, forming a surging flame. To Nan Ge who was standing aside, it looked as if four fire pillars burst out from Feng Qing’an’s back, which made her very uneasy.
“Feng Qing’an, what’s going on?”
“It’s okay, I’m making an attempt!”
Feng Qing’an answered calmly. He wasn’t doing anything out of sorts, all he wanted was to try to fly, that was it.
The idea had come to him when he saw Black Mountain ascending into the sky using the Soul-devouring Ghost Fire. But in actuality, Black Mountain was not truly flying, it was merely floating in the air with the help of the flames.
Feng Qing’an had also tried using Soul-devouring Ghost Fire to float in the air. However, he found that it was slower to move in mid-air than to run on the ground. This didn’t satisfy him at all.
So, he then turned to Dagugu, but the then not-yet-elevated Dagugu’s power was too small, and its body was also too small.
Dagugu couldn’t get larger, it could only maintain that size, which was fundamentally different from Youyou, the little phoenix, who could become the size of a fist if she willed to.
So, as a result of Feng Qing’an’s experiment, he only managed to form a pair of wings made of flames no larger than chicken wings on his back.
Though he did feel a force trying to lift him from the ground and soar in the air, that force was far from sufficient. But now, the conditions had been met.
The four fire pillars erupting from the back under Feng Qing’an’s management gradually morphed into the shape of wings. They were not the fiery chicken wings from his initial experiment, but instead, they were the Wings of Yang Flame that now matched his body.
Wings of Yang Flame, Four Wings!
