After Huo Feng sighed and finished telling the story, silence lingered within the bamboo building for a long time.
In the end, Lu Heng let out a slow sigh and said, "So that's how it is"
The situation is even more intense than he imagined.
These disciples have indeed grown up; they are no longer fooling around like children playing house.
The differing opinions between them have unexpectedly escalated into a dispute over the orthodox path, reaching an alarming level of life-or-death confrontation, with even the cultivators of the entire Celestial Desolation Realm being drawn into it.
However
"So, is Sun Yan really cultivating dark cultivation?" Lu Heng asked, "Is he truly the current leader of the dark path? Even the Palace Master of the Arctic Skyark Palace submits to his command?"
Lu Heng confirmed once again.
In his memory, Nine Phoenix was undoubtedly an ancient behemoth, on par with Candle Dragon in terms of prestige and power, if not slightly stronger.
Lu Heng still harbored doubts regarding Sun Yan's ability to truly subdue such a formidable creature.
However, Huo Feng bitterly smiled and said, "The rumors are indeed true. Sun Yan has united the dark cultivation forces in the northern domain, and even the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace in the Arctic Skyark Palace has pledged loyalty to him, willingly serving under his leadership. The one calling the shots between the two is Sun Yan, not Nine Phoenix."
The facts presented by Huo Feng sounded so absurd that even after Lu Heng confirmed them once again, he still found them somewhat difficult to accept.
How terrifying Nine Phoenix was in the past, with a reputation that echoed across the seas. Yet now, she has been tamed and devotedly served and the one who tamed her was once a mischievous and lazy monkey frolicking in the mountains
Even with Lu Heng's rich imagination, he simply couldn't picture such a scene.
After all, no matter how one looks at it, such a thing is simply too absurd.
He had only been away for four thousand years, which is not considered too long for a cultivator, but the Celestial Desolation Realm has already undergone such drastic changes. Ancient demons that have lived for millions, even tens of millions of years, beings that could potentially live for an unknown number of millions of years, have been tamed by a monkey with only a cultivation of four thousand years
Lu Heng hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Then what about the lord of the Blue Hill Country? The two great demon saints of the Kingdom of All Demons in the Northern Region have been locked in a fierce rivalry with the lord of the Blue Hill Country and the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace for many years. Since Nine Phoenix has devoted herself to Sun Yan, has the lord of the Blue Hill Country sought refuge with the Heavenly Court?"
Lu Heng cared about the developments in the Demon Realm.
However, Huo Feng's subsequent response once again startled him.
"The lord of the Blue Hill Country adamantly refused to embrace the demonic path and, fifteen hundred years ago, was annihilated by Sun Yan at the peak of the Blue Hill Mountain. Both body and soul were devoured by Sun Yan. There is no longer a lord of the Blue Hill Country in this world, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has nearly faced extinction. It is a rarity in the present world."
"Um well" Lu Heng fell silent once again.
The impact brought by this news is no less than that of Nine Phoenix being tamed by Sun Yan!
The White Dragon Maiden next to her couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my goodness Is Senior Sun Yan really that terrifying? Even scarier than Martial Sister Xiao Ai"
Lu Heng glanced at her and said, "Do you like it that much? How about I send you to embrace the demonic path and join your senior brother in cultivating the demonic arts?"
The White Dragon Maiden hurriedly forced a smile and said, "Master is just joking How could your disciple bear to leave your side? Not to mention, the next time I see Senior Sun Yan, I will be the first to step forward and assist Master in tidying up the faction!"
The girl sensed a hint of anger in Lu Heng's demeanor and quickly expressed her loyalty.
Lu Heng cast a displeased glance at her and retorted, "Just you? Even if you cultivate for another ten thousand years, you won't be able to match up to Sun Yan. As for tidying up the faction I'm afraid Sun Yan will take care of you first before that happens."
The White Dragon Maiden chuckled and said, "Then at that time, I will cheer you on, Master. Master, you possess boundless magical powers. Wherever the heavenly thunder strikes, all the wicked, including the Demon King and Nine Phoenix, will kneel down and beg for mercy. If Master were to take action, it will surely frighten Senior Sun Yan, making him flee in panic and embarrassment."
Lu Heng was rendered speechless, hearing the girl heaping praise upon him.
"You might as well cut off your tongue, with your glib tongue. Instead of shouting slogans here, it would be better for you to focus on cultivating," Lu Heng said silently.
The White Dragon Maiden immediately stood up and said, "Understood! Disciple will go cultivate now! Striving diligently, working hard and being industrious! Striving to achieve invincibility in the world as soon as possible! Resolving difficulties and easing troubles for Master."
With that, the White Dragon Maiden swiftly ran off, leaving the bamboo building behind.
As Huo Feng watched the White Dragon Maiden's departing figure, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Miss Little White is truly amusing Hahaha"
Lu Heng helplessly shook his head and said, "Her identity is rather unique, making it difficult for me to be too strict with her, which leads to her having a lack of understanding of boundaries Sigh It's truly a karmic fate, a karmic fate indeed"
Lu Heng, upon reflection, still feels that he truly should not have gone to Dragon Island.
It was simply a waste of time, and I ended up taking a futile trip for nothing.
Although it was indeed by sheer coincidence that he stumbled upon the Fu Xi Treasure Trove, but the River Map and the Luo Book had long since vanished without a trace. he only became aware of his heritage and gleaned some ancient secrets, but as a result, he had to wander outside for four thousand years before returning, missing out on many significant events.
Looking back now, no matter how he thinks about it, it feels like a loss.
At the very least, if he were still in the Celestial Desolation Realm, the disciples of Hanyu Mountain wouldn't have ended up in their current predicament.
What Demon King Sun Yan, Supreme God Lu Ai In the end, they simply need a good thrashing!
If Lu Heng were here, each person would receive a few heavenly thunder strikes, preventing the current state of chaos.
As Lu Heng sighed and massaged his temples, Huo Feng chuckled and said, "So this young lady here, is she truly the missing Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya? Or perhaps she is the daughter of the Wolf God and the Dragon Emperor?"
Huo Feng chuckled and playfully made a small joke.
Lu Heng shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Huo, you're making a joke. If she really were my daughter, with such an insolent and undisciplined demeanor, I would have no choice but to skin her alive She is indeed the Dragon Emperor, but she no longer remembers her past life's memories."
With that, Lu Heng inadvertently led himself and the Dragon Emperor into the Starry Sky Tomb. He then proceeded to briefly recount the arduous journey back to Huo Feng.
However, he didn't mention the connection between the Earth and the Fu Xi Treasure Trove, as well as the River Map and the Luo Book.
After listening, Huo Feng was momentarily taken aback.
"The infinitely expanding Starry Sky Tomb a world devoid of any spiritual energy? This The world indeed holds such terrifying places?" Huo Feng listened, utterly astonished. "The myriad realms truly hold countless wonders, even encompassing such eerie and dreadful realms."
The two of them sighed in admiration, and then discussed at length the changes that had taken place over the years.
Lu Heng also came to know that Huo Feng's wife and children now hold important positions in the Heavenly Court. Of course, Huo Feng himself had a place within the Heavenly Court before, but he voluntarily left after the upheaval that occurred two thousand years ago.
Four thousand years of time is sufficient to alter many things.
Now, Huo Feng, forlorn and weathered, has become the revered Sword King that everyone fears. After mastering the terrifying ultimate move, "Demon Heart Cuts the Sacred," he is truly deserving of the title of Sword Saint. Even Lu Heng, wielding the formidable Heavenly Thunder Sword, would find it difficult to contend with him. Gone is the resemblance to the young man who once arrived on a rainy night, riding the Bo horse and carrying the fat bird, exuberantly laughing in high spirits.
However, Lu Heng remains the same Lu Heng as he was back then.
Four thousand years of time have not left too many marks on him.
Dressed in a ethereal white robe, he approached with a gentle and amicable smile, displaying a demeanor of humility and courtesy.
In a trance, Huo Feng seemed to return to that past period of time, encountering the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain who had journeyed through the South Sea, challenged the Immortal Kingdom, vanquished Erba God Man, annihilated War Generals, and intimidated the Mermaids of the South Sea.
Gallant gentlemen, unparalleled elegance.
Such a misplaced sentiment made Huo Feng, who had long since turned silver-haired, unable to help but laugh, sighing, "The Wolf God is still the Wolf God, but Huo Feng is no longer the Huo Feng of the past Haha Time is like a sword, leaving its marks on the years. I wonder what kind of reaction Xiao Ai and the others will have when they see the current Wolf God."
Lu Heng poured himself a glass of wine, chuckling, "I am even more curious about Sun Yan's reaction Hehe"
