Spirit Vessel-Chapter 1098: Persistence

Chapter 1098: Persistence

Ghosts and evil entities were at their strongest during a lunar eclipse due to an abundance of yin energy.

Feiyun wasn’t the only one who tried to break through. Cultivators of the evil path also came to Heavenly Ghost, hoping to use this opportunity to reach the next realm.

For example, the Evil Woman crossed through the air while holding the soil from Time Immemorial. Her destination was a dark forest.

The trees were large with barks resembling wrinkles. Leaves looked as big as cattail fans.

“This is the resting place of more than ten kings from Time Immemorial, you are not allowed here!” A roar came from underground.

“Rumble!” A corpse towering at eighty meters came out with a black sword and gazed down at the Evil Woman.

“I see. It appears that fate has brought me here, I shall borrow their energy to break through.” She said.

“Ridiculous, you will not do as you please in this sacred ground!” The corpse giant spewed out miasma while gathering energy for a swing.

“Get out of my sight.” The Evil Woman said before slapping the giant away. It flew for several thousand miles deeper into the forest.

She continued inside.

Back at the peak of Lotus Spirit Mountain, Feiyun’s palms exuded the lights of the saints.

One could see this from ten thousand miles away since the peak looked like a heavenly lighthouse.

The alchemy market was nearby and they could sense ripples coming from there.

“Do you feel that? Isn’t that saint energy? Is there a saint at Lotus?”

“Is the saintess returning to life?!”

“Right, it’s the lunar eclipse where the dead might return.”

This caused quite a stir and many factions sent experts there to take a look.

Not long after, someone came back and said: “That half-demon is meditating at the peak, he’s shrouded in this saint energy and is absorbing the energy of the world and the stars.”

An old man with a beard long enough to reach ground calculated with his fingers. He looked up and said: “The laws of the world are at their weakest, he is trying to reach Heaven’s Emergence.”

He was a famous wisdom master who had read the fortune of a saint before. His words couldn’t be doubted.

“Haha, is this a joke? No half-demons can reach Heaven’s Emergence, this is a curse from the high heaven!”

Someone came and told Prince Tyrant as well who was busy cultivating.

He glanced in that direction and sneered: “Half-demons are wretched and weak but some incredible masters have emerged before. These legends have tried only to fail.”

“How suicidal, the curse will kill him tonight. I was going to torture and kill him, it seems I won’t have the opportunity then.” The fourth prince said.

Prince Tyrant glared at him and said: “We are Immemorial Sacred Demons with a great goal, reaching sainthood and obtaining immortality. A half-demon should never be in our sight.”

“You’re right, Brother.” The fourth prince said.𝗳𝒓e𝚎𝙬𝒆𝙗𝚗o𝙫e𝗹. 𝐜𝐨𝙢

Mo Yaoyao and Xuanyuan Yiyi also heard this news since they were staying at the market.

A half-demon causing such a large commotion was rather unprecedented. Thus, everyone became interested and ran toward the mountain.

A crowd began to form. Among them was a fierce draconic creature. It gazed at the peak and opened its mouth, revealing teeth as sharp as swords.

“He has a lot of saint energy and his flesh looks tasty.” It had six legs and rushed for the peak.

However, it only made it halfway before it was sent flying by a red dragon using its tail.

“Well done, Lil’ Cutey.” The turtle patted the dragon’s head while eating a crimson fruit.

“Raa! Who hit me just now?!” The gigantic beast rushed upward again, covered in blood.

The dragon revealed its true form; just its head alone was several times larger than this attacking creature.

The dragon’s red eyes scared the hell of the creature so it ran away.

“Whoosh!” The dragon caught up and swallow the whole thing before opening its bloody mouth to speak: “Gotta make an example out of you.”

“Lil’ Cutey, remember that we have to play nice.” The turtle said.

The dragon became small again and disappeared into the forest after hearing this.

Meanwhile, Feiyun had gathered enough power and continued his plan to break the lower dantian.

He channeled and sent them toward the target at the same time.

“Boom!” He fell backward instantly with blood pouring out from the upper orifices. The aura around him weakened as a result.

This was still not enough to break the lower dantian. Was this curse unbreakable?

Failure?

No, absolutely not!

He gritted his teeth and sat in the meditative pose alone, finally resorting to his special technique - Tribulation Break!

“He has failed but he’s still not giving up.” The girl in black’s eyes were prettier than the stars.

Grandpa Yu became worried and responded: “His path has virtually no chance of success. Some choose the easy way while others prefer the winding road or the dangerous wooden bridge. Alas, there is no ground beneath his feet at all. The majority will stop with despair before this but not him, he wants to create a path if there is none. This requires going against the heaven. Even if he fails today, he will show the world that half-demons will not stay down forever. We have courage as well.”

The spectators outside the mountain had no faith in Feiyun. They were only here to watch his death.

Some started laughing the moment they saw him falling down.

“What an idiot, it is impossible to reach Heaven’s Emergence as a half-demon.”

“Half-demons should know their place. Live obediently as slaves and they can last a bit longer.”

“Wretched creatures will always be wretched yet he wants to go against the high heaven.” The fourth prince laughed and felt amazing as if he was the one knocking Feiyun down.

Xuanyuan Yiyi observed the event as well. Her eyes were filled with sorrow for all living beings.

They were laughing at him for failing but in reality, how many people could reach the limit of cultivation?

Becoming immortal might just be a legend. No one could ever reach this path by breaking the shackles of the high heaven.

Thus, why would they laugh at half-demons? All were lowly in the grand scheme of things.

In fact, she found him admirable and courageous for daring to go against the high heaven.

“Oh? He’s sitting up again. I can feel the power of tribulation coursing inside him, what is going on?” She noticed something while staring at the old man on top of the peak.

He looked like a tree on the verge of death yet it still remained standing despite the gales and termites - seemingly falling but never would.
