Chapter 1097: Lunar Eclipse

“That night… you were with two servants and kicked down my door. Then you said something like this, haha, this girl is so pretty, you two, go outside and keep watch, I have something to discuss with her tonight.’” Luo Yu’er looked embarrassed as she responded.

“After they left, you took off your belt and hit me with it. I screamed and shouted, Master Feng, please spare me, I’m still too young…”

“And then you laughed again, shout all you want, no one will save you. You took off my clothes next and even…”

“Ahem, no need for these details.” Feiyun rubbed his forehead and thought that she really remembered everything despite it being so many years. That must have been truly traumatizing.

“Just tell me what I looked like? What was my expression? Was there something off about me?” He asked.

“Your face was very…” She stared at him with a strange look.

“Okay, I know, my expression must have been terrible then. Did you notice anything else?” He asked.

“You were… very different compared to now.”

“Obviously.” Feiyun said.

She carefully recalled before continuing: “You looked very enthusiastic and sweaty, your smile was kinda scary. You showed so many teeth as if you wanted to eat me…”

Feiyun sighed again. It seemed that there was no real information to be had here. However, this innocent and naive girl was rather cute.

“I really wanted to eat you then.” He smiled wryly.

“...” She became afraid.

As he was leaving, he said without looking back: “I’m going, don’t tell the others I was here.”

Feiyun returned to the peak of Spirit Mountain and only had more questions. After he returned to life, he met another girl outside of Luo Yu’er.

She must have been there already during the shift of his personality.

“The city is nothing in the grand scheme of things, the experts from the Feng’s main branch do not want to be there. Dongfang Jingyue is the golden daughter of the Yin Gou, why was she there?”

He met her on the third day at the ward owned by her clan. The manager said that she had important business to take care of in the city.

However, given her status, why did she need to be there herself?

“Was the person in my dream Dongfang Jingyue and not Shui Yueting? No, I’ve never met Dongfang Jingyue before so this doesn’t make sense.”

He thought that he might be overthinking it since the two looked too familiar.

“Maybe I’ll see her again if I return to Sixth Central.”

Despite all these questions, he didn’t wish to force the issue. He was sure that the answers would come in time.

In fact, he felt better after realizing that his previous life might not be real. This was akin to being afraid during a nightmare. However, everything was fine after waking up.

For him, that previous life was a nightmare that has been haunting him for ten years. Now, it might just be a bad dream.

“I need to focus on reaching Heaven’s Emergence first.” He removed unnecessary thoughts and meditated above the peak.

Back at the ridge, the woman in black opened her eyes and murmured: “His mind is calm again.”

Grandpa Yu nodded in response: “He has a strong mind and will be able to handle any losses in the future.”

The turtle was laying on an ivory chair. It stared at her and asked: “How do you know his mental state? Do you have a bright dao heart just like that saintess from Aquamoon?”

The old man rubbed the turtle’s head gently and said: “She’s a spirit from this mountain, nothing here can elude her eyes.”

A very long time ago, Bamboo Spirit Mountain birthed two trees - a lotus and a bamboo.

The lotus was the first to reach the dao while the bamboo lagged behind.

One was naturally Lotus Saintess while the bamboo became this woman.

“No wonder why you knew everything that had happened but couldn't help. You were just a bamboo tree then. Miss, where is your true body, may I take a look?” The turtle understood.

The woman ignored him and only conversed with Grandpa Yu about the next several days: “Feng Feiyun’s sacred energy is growing, his upper and middle dantians have fused together, the only thing left is the lower dantian.”

“If he fails, death awaits him, but if he can somehow create an inner core of the sacred level, it will start a phenomenon. This power is above his control so someone will notice and come to kill him.” She added.

He nodded: “Makes sense, we must be cautious. I have deep ties with his parents so I must help.”f𝗿e𝙚𝙬ℯ𝚋n𝚘ν𝗲l. 𝐜𝐨𝗺

The turtle felt bad about not being involved in the conversation: “Fine, ignore me then. I’ll go find your true body, that’s not bad at all.”

He smirked nefariously before entering the forest.

“Rumble!” A while later, lightning bolts descended and caused the mountain to shake violently.

The fruit ran in and shouted: “Grandpa Yu! Grandpa Yu! Come, my grandpa almost got killed.”

“It’s that serious?”

“He only has one breath left and wants to see you.” The fruit said.

“He wants me to save him, that’s all, let him wait, he won’t die.” The old man stroked his beard and said.

***

Three days passed in no time at all.

Feiyun became one with the mountain as all of his pores were open to absorb energy.

He had transformed his spirit energy into saint energy. Though the quantity decreased, there was a monumental change.

Normal cultivators opened their lower dantian during Heaven’s Emergence, changing spirit energy into ascended energy. In order to reach the next realm, they would have to transform this ascended energy into saint energy.

Feiyun walked a different road - skipping one step at Nirvana. Of course, he couldn’t become a saint right after. There was still a long way to go.

“The lunar eclipse is here, the laws of the world will become weaker. This is my time.” He said as his white hair fluttered in the wind.

He broke the sky and the ground beneath him.

Loud quakes could be heard from a distance and disturbed other cultivators.

With the sky split apart, people could see space and the celestial rays. They illuminated Lotus Spirit Mountain and made it look more mysterious.

Meanwhile, howls from evil creatures could be heard. Black ghosts and specters appeared to absorb the yang energy in the mortal world.

A gigantic corpse broke out of a peak. Its thighs were as large as pillars. It opened its mouth and roared while corrosive liquid streamed down.

Evil creatures always walked the earth during a lunar eclipse.
