In the Ten Miles Inn, Qin Wentian was still hugging Mo Qingcheng. After a long time, Mo Qingcheng actually fainted from the pain. That resplendent light also gradually faded away, leaving behind a pendant hanging around her neck. It was glowing faintly but there was no aura emanating from it. It was as though it was just an ordinary pendant.
"What item is that exactly?" Qin Wentian stared at the pendant. This was a piece of jewelry from the Heaven Immortal Tower. Why would it resonate with Mo Qingcheng? What exactly did she experience earlier?
Also, when that phoenix robe appeared earlier, was it protecting Mo Qingcheng? But what was going on with that resplendent light? He had no idea about all of this. Luckily, everything was over. Mo Qingcheng only fainted and wouldn't have any major problems. After she woke up, she should know what exactly happened.
Qing 'er quietly stood by her side. The two of them continued to protect Mo Qingcheng. Only on the second day did Mo Qingcheng slowly wake up. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light as her entire person seemed to be enveloped by a layer of light.
"Qingcheng." Qin Wentian called out when he saw her opening her beautiful eyes.
Mo Qingcheng gently smiled and spoke in a low voice, "I'm fine."
"Mhm, that's good then." Qin Wentian's worried heart finally relaxed. His hand gently caressed Mo Qingcheng's face as a radiant smile appeared on her face.
"Qingcheng, what happened earlier?" Qing 'er walked over and asked in a light voice.
A strange look flashed in Mo Qingcheng's eyes. She sat up and glanced at the pendant hanging around her neck. With an intention of her will, the pendant directly fused into her skin, leaving behind a mark. A mysterious diagram appeared on her body and her entire person seemed to have changed.
"Kiss of the Demon God."
Mo Qingcheng murmured.
"Kiss of the Demon God?" Qin Wentian started. Mo Qingcheng smiled, "This pendant is named the Kiss of the Demon God."
"You formed a connection with it? What kind of treasure is it?" Qin Wentian was truly curious. This pendant wasn't one of the ultimate treasures of the Heaven Immortal Tower. It was extremely ordinary and inconspicuous among the many treasures in the tower. It was only when Mo Qingcheng activated it that a miraculous transformation happened to it.
Mo Qingcheng closed her beautiful eyes, and in the next instant, the radiance radiating from her grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire room. Countless runic inscriptions appeared, enveloping both Qin Wentian and Qing Er within. The radiance was so resplendent that it caused the heavens and earth to lose their color.
In the center of the formation, a Shadow gradually materialized behind Mo Qingcheng. Or more accurately, it enveloped her entirely.
That was an incomparably resplendent phoenix. Her eyes gleamed with sharpness as though she had a life of her own. This was a true phoenix. Disdain could be seen in her eyes as she stared at Qin Wentian and Qing Er. She was like a true demon god.
"This …" Qin Wentian's heart pounded. The feeling this phoenix gave him was extremely powerful. That pendant was actually able to summon such a powerful ancient phoenix.
"Who are you guys?" The ancient phoenix spoke, speaking in the voice of a human. Qin Wentian, Mo Qingcheng and the others felt their bodies trembling as great waves rose in their hearts.
This phoenix truly had a life of its own. Clearly, it could think. If not, it wouldn't have asked them who they were.
"What treasure is this pendant? Why would it be activated by my wife?" Qin Wentian counter-asked. His eyes gleamed with sharpness as he stared at the Shadow of the phoenix.
"Your wife?" The phoenix glanced at the beautiful woman she was protecting. "The robes she is wearing are woven from the power of my bloodline. Hence, it can summon me and form a resonance with me. Where did you guys obtain this robe from?"
Qin Wentian's heart trembled again. So it turned out that the summoning was really triggered by the robe.
"My mother gave it to me." Qin Wentian spoke.
The phoenix coldly glanced at Qin Wentian. A powerful pressure radiated from her, enveloping the entire room. Her pressure similarly landed on Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian frowned. He released his powerful world heart as well, causing the entire space to be locked down. He stared at the phoenix and coldly spoke, "I have no need to lie."
"You don't have a bloodline." The phoenix was similarly domineering. She coldly stared at Qin Wentian. Her words might be a little vague, but Qin Wentian instantly thought of his bloodline. Could it be that all of this had something to do with his mother whom he had never met before?
"I've died once before and my soul was almost shattered. I even lost my bloodline." Qin Wentian spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, he released his astral soul. The phoenix stared at his astral soul and after that, the aura radiating from her weakened a little. She started to believe Qin Wentian. If he didn't die once, it was impossible for him to have such an astral soul. It was impossible even if he reincarnated.
"Where is your mother? Who is she?" The phoenix asked again.
"I don't know, I've never met her before. I grew up in a particle world and initially thought that I was an orphan. Only after that did I learn that I have parents. I also don't know where she is, whether she is alive or dead. Now that I'm already in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, I will investigate this matter clearly in the future." If it was someone else asking him, he wouldn't have answered so clearly. But this phoenix's matter concerned his mother. Hence, he replied.
"Seems like your wife got lucky." The phoenix spoke in a low voice, gradually believing Qin Wentian. Sadly, the spirit lord of this generation was a little weak.
Qin Wentian frowned. His tone was cold, "If you are unwilling, I won't force you. I can sever the connection between you and my wife."
"What do you mean by this?" The phoenix stared at Qin Wentian.
At this moment, a beam of light flashed as the figure of the Skybreak Heavenly Deity appeared. This caused the phoenix to glance at the Skybreak Heavenly Deity. She could sense an indescribable pressure from the Skybreak Heavenly Deity.
"Just a mere weapon spirit, what is there to be arrogant about? It's your fortune that she became your spirit lord. What qualifications do you have to say that she got lucky?" The Skybreak Heavenly Deity coldly spoke.
"Who are you?" The phoenix stared at the Skybreak Heavenly Deity.
"Skybreak Heavenly Deity." The Skybreak Heavenly Deity coldly spoke. "Pay attention to your attitude when you speak."
The phoenix suddenly laughed. She stared at Qin Wentian, "Seems like you aren't simple as well. You must have had extraordinary good fortune."
"Are you willing to stay or not? If you aren't, I've already said that I won't force you. You can sever the connection between you and my wife." Qin Wentian spoke. He didn't wish for a spirit to be disrespectful to Qingcheng. Not even the slightest bit of disrespect could be tolerated.
"How arrogant, as expected of a descendant of that clan. Fine, I'm willing to stay and serve her as my spirit lord, listening to her summons."
A smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. "Since this is the case, many thanks to senior."
This was how he was. If the other party was disrespectful, he wouldn't fear it. If the other party was polite, he would naturally return the favor, no matter who the other party was.
"Senior, what I said earlier was the truth. I truly have no idea who my mother is. Earlier, when senior said that you are a descendant of that clan, which clan are you referring to?" Qin Wentian asked. He didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence when he ransacked the Heaven Immortal Tower this time around. He actually encountered a treasure of his mother's clan and coincidentally formed a connection with Qingcheng.
He felt that the distance between him and his mother's clan should be very close.
"There's no need for me to tell you this. Not long in the future, you will know for yourself." The phoenix calmly spoke. "Earlier, you weren't polite at all. Although I serve your wife as my spirit lord, I don't have to listen to your words."
Qin Wentian awkwardly smiled. Mo Qingcheng then asked, "In that case, senior, can I ask on his behalf?"
"No, you are clearly trying to trick me. Hmph." The phoenix spoke. "I'm leaving now. If there's any need, just summon me again."
As the sound of her voice faded, the Shadow gradually dissipated. The shadow transformed into motes of light that flowed into the pendant on Mo Qingcheng's neck. After that, the light sank back into her skin, leaving behind only a mark.
"There's actually such a mystical treasure." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice.
"Seems like your background isn't simple." Although the Skybreak Heavenly Deity was very domineering earlier, when he stared at Qin Wentian now, he was also somewhat surprised.
"Even now, I have no idea about my background. I only know that I have a blood feud with my father's clan. I have to take revenge for this." Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with a dazzling light.
"If you can become an existence like the Imperishable Heaven Lord, what grudge can't you take revenge for?" The Skybreak Heavenly Deity calmly spoke. "I'm going to sleep now. If there's a need, just wake me up again."
"Right." Qin Wentian nodded. The will of the Skybreak Heavenly Deity also vanished.
In the room, only Qin Wentian, Mo Qingcheng and Qing 'er were left.
"Qingcheng, do you feel anything different?" He kept feeling that there was something different about Mo Qingcheng.
"Mhm, there seems to be a mysterious energy constantly tempering my body." Mo Qingcheng nodded. This is especially so for the location of her heart. My heartbeat has quickened.
Qin Wentian stretched out his hand and placed it on Mo Qingcheng's chest to feel it. As expected, her heart was pounding unceasingly. There seemed to be a mysterious energy circulating within it.
"It should be the effect of the 'Kiss of the Demon God'. This treasure is extraordinary, it might not be as simple as summoning that spirit body." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. However, he had no way to verify it now.
"Mhm." Mo Qingcheng nodded. She had the same feeling as well.
"Seems like this is an opportunity bestowed to me by mother. Wentian, do you think mother is watching you grow up?" Qingcheng suddenly asked. Qin Wentian's gaze turned misty. Mother, is she still alive?
Father, what about him? He cultivated for two lifetimes. This is his second life, is he still doing well?
"If she is watching, mother would definitely be proud of me when she sees the two of you." Qin Wentian stretched his hands out and embraced Qing 'er and Qingcheng as he spoke gently.
…
The commotion caused by the robbery of the Heaven Immortal Pavilion still persisted. Days passed by but the bandits seemed to have evaporated into thin air. There was no way to find them at all. Most probably, the Dragon Pool Manor would never have imagined that one of the bandits was none other than Qin Wentian who took away the golden branch from their Heaven Immortal Pavilion. They wanted to use a treasure as a price to capture him.
But now, the treasure in Qin Wentian's hands wasn't merely a treasure from the Heaven Immortal Pavilion.
As time flowed by, the date of the Convention of the Myriad Realms got closer and closer. The atmosphere in Time City also grew increasingly intense!
