{45} Space seal legacy of Jade

Feng Jiu appeared in the stillness of the void with a glow of Gunsha Jade. One could say this Jade had played a significant role in Feng Jiu's life. And now it was its turn to receive. With Feng Jiu winning the legacy it could also update. That's why Feng Jiu had a feeling that the jade was really excited. It somehow calmed her down. She couldn't help but be flabbergasted. Just who was the senior to be the former master of this weird multipurpose and strangely helpful jade? Except for the pain from cutting her own tail, Feng Jiu was rather excited and hopeful. A tail to a fox was really precious. It was about beauty but also prestige. Feng Jiu wasn't sure if Ze Yan could heal her. She felt like a bone had been separated from her body. However, she didn't regret it. But whenever she felt overwhelmed with pain the Gunsha jade would send a warm wave through her body as if to comfort her.


Feng Jiu felt a faint calling as a gate appeared into the void. It was more like an illusion. Or maybe the void was an illusion and things became clear now. She instantly became dazed. But the jade shined as if to remind her to be careful. She quickly snapped out of it and was pulled into the gate. 


"Gunsha, if you let her cheat again she won't be receiving any legacy." A voice traveled through space to reach Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu was stunned. What was more, the jade became as obedient as a three-year-old after being scolded severely. It became meek unlike before when it was exciting. 


Feng Jiu moved forward as she reached a silver pagoda. The voice which apparently came from nowhere spoke again.


"I am the spirit of this legacy realm inside Gunsha." The voice was emotionless.


"I want to start the trial." Feng Jiu said confidently. She had always been good at martial arts although she wasn't much knowledgeable in theory. Moreover, she was now a high immortal.


"Don't be in hurry just yet. This pagoda has nine levels. The pagoda seems small but the rules of space here are different. The master of this jade was an amazing space-time master. The master was good friends with the unicorn immortal to whom I and Gunsha belong. He left his heritage pagoda with Gunsha. If you can pass the basic tests and the master's personal test which lies on the ninth level you will inherit the legacy. Moreover, you can retreat. The levels can be life-threatening even if they are to test you. If you lose you can't enter again for a century."


She nodded and without hesitation and entered the silver Pagoda.

Dong Hua was covered in scars. The dark magic wasn't easy to deal with once it touched him he suffered greatly. However, avoiding the constant attacks was difficult. Even though Tang Yin was immobilized she still caused trouble for Dong Hua. He didn't have any opening to start the sealing process again. Moreover, because of its missing piece, the process was hardly efficient. If Dong Hua were to lock her fully he would have to part with some of his life force. He wasn't scared but he was experienced enough not to be reckless.


He observed the pattern of Tang Yin's strange attacks. A red vortex approached from behind him. It was powerful enough to crush anything, but mainly souls. Dong Hua's sword cut the vortex in half and it dispersed. But almost immediately it re immerged more powerful than before. Dong Hua understood that the vortex would only become stronger if he were to attack it again. He clenched his teeth. The vortex absorbed my attacks? It can absorb souls and powerful attacks to make itself powerful. That is a devil. Is it truly unbeatable?


Tang Yin grew reckless and tried to break through from the formation to the outside world. She wasn't interested in Dong Hua's soul and blood since it harmed her once. She just wanted a blood party with the measly cultivators of heaven. After being baptized she would kill gods after gods. One could only imagine the amount of chaos she wanted to make. 


Dong Hua's flowers continuously dispersed the death aura. His black wounds depleted his energy. But resisting the vortex took a lot of energy and intelligence. Dong Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had solutions but no time to apply those. He needed to end the battle decisively. He had to return to Feng Jiu as promised. Plus, he knew this realm had opened for a time period. If he failed to return he might as well be stuck. Tang Yin seemed to know the fact too despite her madness.

Feng Jiu entered a place so serene and peaceful. Something gave her the vibe that it was a primordial place. As she continued the place became more and more real. The people happily walking around her. She couldn't even see through their power level. An ancient phoenix was soaring through the sky. It caught Feng Jiu staring and turned her head away in indifference. The phoenix flower birthmark on Feng Jiu shined in resonance. 


An Ancient flower Phoenix? They are extinct! Even God Zhe Yan can't compare to them. Feng Jiu knew a little because she possessed the Phoenix flower constitution. A flower phoenix was different from an ordinary phoenix. You could say they were of same lineage yet they were more powerful and primitive.


Feng Jiu hadn't expected the bird to notice it. She naturally thought of it as an illusion. She thought the world was fake. But could an illusion be so real? Even the people started to notice her. Few men found her beauty irresistible. They were seduced just by Feng Jiu's walking past them. It wasn't anything new. Feng Jiu hadn't even noticed them before she started to scan the place more seriously.


Maybe that Phoenix is the key to this level? She mused but the bird was already gone. Feng Jiu moved ahead observing the place. The deeper she went, the more details were added to the surroundings. Now it was as if she had returned to the primordial times. The sheer difference between the prosperity of the land and the alarming no. of powerful experts on the streets was stunning.


The cultivators of the Jade lake city. The Space seal legacy world would now open. Young masters who hold the sacred jade enter the pagoda by crushing the jade slip. The rest of the city can see what happens inside through the screen in the city square.


A voice informed and a jade slip appeared in Feng Jiu's hands. Feng Jiu truly wanted to marvel at the place. But she couldn't afford to waste more time. She was hurt still but Gunsha rapidly decreased her pain.


"So this city is the trial location. The master specialized in time and space techniques. Am I truly in primordial times? But how can the legacy be here? Do I have competitors? Never mind. Maybe I truly am back in time. But that doesn't matter." 


She smiled slightly. "Was Di Jun born in this era?" she muttered. She shook her head. I guess not. He's old but not thaaaat old. Plus even if he was here and I could see him he won't recognize me. Moreover, he is from Bihai Cangling. I practically researched everything about him. Those days were exciting too. But who thought one day he'd love me too? I'm so lucky. I just hope he's alright... He's Di Jun after all.


She crushed the jade slip and was transported to the first level. She saw no one beside her. The first level tested her consciousness. She passed it and entered the second. The second and third tested her potential and cultivation progress. She passed that too. 


She almost thought that it would be easy but then arrived at the fourth level. The three levels before were merely qualification levels. The real battle was in front of her.


A true dragon appeared in front of her. She could see that it was still a baby. Nevertheless, dragons were divine beings since birth. They didn't even need to work hard at cultivation.


Feng Jiu almost went deaf when the dragon roared. Oh, My peaches!


Was this the fourth level yet?
