Chapter 1048: Traversing the Void

Lil’ Red chattered non-stop beside Feng Xiang’s ear. It was clear that their relationship was very good.

Feng Xiang seemed to be very patient. He nodded his head gently from time to time.

After talking for a while, Lil’ Red flapped its wings and landed on top of Multi-armed King Kong’s head. It laughed and said, “Brother, let’s go. I want to go home.”

Although the king kong was already a Venerable One, its fear of Lil’ Red did not decrease. On the contrary, it deepened. Simply put, it was terrified when it saw the little red bird. Now that Lil’ Red had jumped onto its head, it did not dare to move at all. Even its breathing slowed down a little.

When Feng Xiang saw this, he let out a long breath. His slender fingers tapped his interspatial bag and immediately, a strong wind blew. A white light spread out, suppressing the sunlight in the sky. Then, a flying boat flew out of thin air. It grew with the wind and in the blink of an eye, it was 333 meters in size. The mast stood tall, shining with jewels. It was divided into 3 levels, and each level had a separate room, emitting a faint mist. The doors and windows were exquisitely carved, and every stroke was just right. They were like drawing marks, and one look at them was enough to tell that they were unordinary.

Especially the flag hanging on the top of the mast on the splint, it had a large “phoenix” word embroidered on it. It danced with the wind and was painted red by the blood of all races. It was awe-inspiring.

Just by looking at it for a moment, one would feel like one was looking at a blood-red world. It was as if one’s mind could be sucked into it.

On the side of the ship, there were many expressionless puppets that were emitting waves of cold air. Each of them had a powerful aura. They could not be compared to that of the Dragons and the Phoenixes, but they were not much weaker than ordinary Venerable Ones.

Upon seeing this, Big Yellow and the goshawk were shocked, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Even Ou Yangming’s pupils shrank. ‘Is this the true foundation of the Dragons and the Phoenixes?’

When Feng Xiang waved his sleeve, the entire flying boat shook and landed on the ground. The ground within 333 meters sank at the same time, and sand and dust flew everywhere.

Feng Xiang took half a step back and made an inviting gesture. He smiled and said, “Brother Ou, please.” In fact, after seeing the strength that Ou Yangming had displayed, he had the intention of befriending him. Otherwise, he would not have lowered his stance so much.

“Brother Feng Xiang, you’re too polite.” Ou Yangming smiled and cupped his hands, but he did not decline. His body moved, and he had stepped on the deck. His eyes revealed a strange look.

Big Yellow, the goshawk, and King Kong flew into the air and stood not far from Ou Yangming, but they did not dare to speak.

The pressure that Feng Xiang brought to them was too strong. In the Great Wide World, a Venerable One seemed insignificant. A feeling of powerlessness rose in their hearts.

The other group of phoenix powerhouses did the same. Their throats moved slightly, but they swallowed their words.

Feng Xiang followed behind Ou Yangming. When he saw the strange look in Ou Yangming’s eyes, he laughed heartily, giving people a comfortable feeling. He introduced, “Brother Ou, the Great Wide World is vast and boundless, and there are countless stars. Even a Ruler would need to use a lot of effort to cross the void. Besides, if one is unlucky, one might even get lost in the starry skies. Under this premise, our ancestors invented flying boats to cross the void. As long as a formation is used, it can block the interspatial disturbance in the void, and it’s incomparably stable.”

There was another thing that he did not say out loud, which was that one would be attacked by ferocious beasts while transcending the void.

Ou Yangming nodded lightly, and his fingers lightly brushed past the edge of the flying boat. He had a plan in his heart, and he asked with a curious look, “Was this flying boat refined by the Phoenixes?” He had also ridden the flying boat from the Seven Stars Sect to Reborn in Paradise but whether it was in terms of quality, workmanship, performance, or practicality, they were incomparable. He would be comparing sand and stars.

“Yes.” Feng Xiang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Lil’ Red stood on top of King Kong’s head and jumped for a moment. It took over and said, “The Phoenixes’ refinement technique for flying boats is first-class in the Great Wide World. Lil’ Ming, if you’re interested, you can learn it.”

Feng Xiang’s eyes brightened, and he asked, “Brother Ou, you also know how to smith weapons?”

“A little.” Ou Yangming smiled innocently.

Lil’ Red pouted and flew to his side, saying, “A little? You’re already the greatest blacksmith in the Spiritual Realm!” During this period, when it was with the goshawk and Big Yellow, it had heard a lot about Ou Yangming’s deeds. There was only one word to describe it—legendary.

Ou Yangming was indeed a legend. In just a few short years, he had reached the border of the Great Wide World. If this was not a legend, what was it?

The young fellow gently tapped between Lil’ Red’s eyebrows with his right finger and scolded with a smile, “You talk too much. The Spiritual Realm is vast. Who knows how many capable people are hiding there? You can’t look down on people, or you’ll end up making a fool of yourself.”

Lil’ Red raised its head to look at the sky and did not speak.

Feng Xiang laughed and raised his hand to beckon, “Brother Ou, come, come. Let’s enter the private room first.”

As he spoke, he gestured to the young fellow.

He had a faint premonition that Ou Yangming’s appearance might bring about an unexpected change to the stagnancy in the Great Wide World. After all, he was the first person to comprehend the power of laws as a Venerable One since the creation of all living things. Even Xu Aoran had not been able to do it back then.

※※※※

After 15 minutes, an explosion was heard. The flying boat emitted white gas and was wrapped by a seven-colored light curtain. It produced a rebounding force and soared into the sky.

In the private room, there was a huge incense burner. It emitted waves of purple smoke and was luxuriously decorated. There was a formation set up to isolate spiritual power, as well as a place for one to cultivate in isolation. All in all, the room was thoroughly designed.

Ou Yangming gently inhaled a mouthful of purple smoke, and the spiritual Qi in the Dantian Lake became more active.

Feng Xiang added some spiritual herbs into the incense burner and sat across from Ou Yangming. He casually asked, “Brother Ou, you still don’t know what the situation in the Great Wide World is like, right?”

Ou Yangming rubbed his chin with his fingers and answered, “Lil’ Red told me a little but didn’t go into details.”

“It’s too young, so it doesn’t know a lot of things,” Feng Xiang noted.

Ou Yangming did not respond. He knew that since Feng Xiang changed the topic, he must have something to say.

Sure enough, before Ou Yangming could stop thinking, Feng Xiang poured a glass of liquor and handed it to him before he said, “The Great Wide World has been in turmoil for hundreds of thousands of years. The Dragons and the Phoenixes have been fighting for hegemony. The spiritual veins of many stars have been broken, where their spiritual Qis have been exhausted, turning them into dangerous lands.”

Ou Yangming took a sip of liquor and asked, “Wars happen for a reason; they don’t happen out of the blue. What are the Dragons and the Phoenixes doing this for?”

“The origin power of the Great Wide World,” Feng Xiang answered as he looked at the clouds flying past the flying boat.

“The origin power?” Ou Yangming raised his voice a little.

“Yes.” Feng Xiang’s expression was grave, and he continued, “After obtaining the origin power, we can reverse the great path and evolve into endless mysteries, getting out of the 3 realms and 5 elements. This curtain that has been hanging over us for a million years can also be lifted. We can destroy the yellow sky and turn it blue, living as long as the universe.” As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the sky.

“But isn’t the price too high? If this continues, the spiritual Qi in the Great Wide World will become inc
