"What I'm searching for is a feather." The light of hope shone in Gu Yanying's eyes.
Li Qingshan thought back. "In the battle against the Corpse King on Burial Mound mountain, you once used a feather to make space extremely fragile, which was how I managed to kill the Corpse King successfully."
"That was a feather of a Space-splitting Bird. Although it's extremely rare, it's not particularly difficult to obtain."
"Yeah. With the Protector Hawk God taking action, what can't we obtain?"
"As a father, he's not as benevolent as you."
Gu Yanying smiled. The gentle way he carried the tiger girl had truly taken her by surprise.
"What's wrong with that? Heartless might not necessarily be a true hero. How can a man not pity his child?"
Li Qingshan said. After all, she was his own flesh and blood. How could he not feel anything? Since he had feelings, there was no need to pretend.
"Heartless might not necessarily be a true hero. How can a man not pity his child?" Gu Yanying repeated. "Unfortunately, that's not the case in the cultivation community. Everyone uses their feelings as a burden. There are countless people who want to become heartless and emotionless."
"Like you?"
"I'm not. In the eyes of the world, you're actually very heartless."
"That's true."
The two of them were speechless for a moment. They flew through the boundless sky again, passing through countless clouds and mountains.
"We're almost there," Gu Yanying said.
"The City Amongst the Clouds?" Li Qingshan gazed into the distance.
"No."
"Hmm?"
"Look up!" Gu Yanying pointed upwards.
Li Qingshan raised his head. All he saw was a haze extremely high up in the sky. It was rather difficult to make out what it was against the pure blue background. However, he could clearly sense that the space was rather strange, but it was not ripped apart like the demon cavern or the Gate of Hungry Ghosts. It was more like it had been stirred into chaos.
As a result, he waved his hand and unleashed the Profound Light Illuminates All, pulling the chaos closer to him. In that moment, a strange power seemed to extend over. The Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell twisted and deformed.
However, Just Just Now, Li Qingshan had already discovered that the chaos was much larger than it seemed. It enveloped a radius of a hundred kilometers, and its depth was immeasurable.
He could not help but ask, "What is that?"
"About ten years before you were born, a feather fell from the sky. It pierced through the barrier of this world, and here are the traces left behind. "
Gu Yanying gazed at the chaotic void with an expression of reverence.
"A feather!?"
Li Qingshan was astounded. If the world was like an egg, then this barrier would be the eggshell. It was practically indestructible. Even though he had the Tremors of the Ox Demon. Moreover, the higher one went, the stronger the astral winds would be. It would be difficult to even approach it.
Regardless of whether it was the Demon's Den, the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, or the blood-colored vortex in the Asura Field, the reason why they could create a hole and connect to this world was because the Demon's Domain, Hungry Ghost Realm, and Asura Realm were countless times larger than the Nine Provinces. It was equivalent to borrowing the power of the world. Even so, it was extremely difficult to expand.
Even Fiendcelestial Qiongqi had to pass through the Demon Cavern in order to descend, and he had to pay a considerable price. It was unimaginable for an individual to fight against the world, because the energy possessed by the two was on a completely different order of magnitude.
Because of this, the scene before him was completely beyond common sense.
"It's very powerful, isn't it? Just the fall of a feather easily pierced through the barrier of the world, and it might not even have been intentional. And the residual effects caused the world to be unable to repair even now. It's just a feather! Can you imagine what kind of existence its owner is? "
Gu Yanying kept sighing, a complete change from her usual carefree and calm demeanor. She was like a child describing a toy that she liked to the extreme but could not obtain.
Li Qingshan pondered. It was not completely unimaginable. Brother Ox's power was probably not below that of the feather's owner. Thinking of this, his heart suddenly stirred.
"Ten years before I was born?"
If he counted it, Brother Ox had appeared in his cowshed at that time. Could there be some connection between the two?
"This feather is now in the City Amongst the Clouds?"
"To be more precise, it's with the King of Feather Humans, Bai Chen. At that time, there was a battle, and all the Feather Demon Kings in the world sensed it. My father also tried to snatch it, but in the end, Bai Chen was the first to get it. The truth is really hard to predict. Perhaps the Feather Humans are also considered Feather Humans? I'm not sure, but if it hadn't fallen into his hands, even if my father got this feather, he would have had a lot of trouble. "
"You said that all the Feather Demon Kings sensed it?"
"Yes, it's like a summoning. My father speculated that there might be an inheritance in it. Even if there is no true inheritance, just the power contained in this feather and the information stored is enough for a Feather to step into the realm of Extraordinary. Speaking of this, I really envy your godson. He was born a Divine Bird Phoenix, and his talent and bloodline are unparalleled. Ascension is just a matter of time. Even if he goes to a higher world, he will still have a great advantage. "
"And I still have some backing in the Nine Regions, but once I ascend, I will no longer have any advantage. My half-human, half-demon bloodline will even become a disadvantage. Whether I go to the Human Path or the Beast Path, it will be somewhat awkward. If I want to go further, I must establish a greater advantage before I lose my advantage. I seem to have said too much. You can understand my feelings, right? Maybe you can't understand. After all, the inheritance you have is also beyond imagination. I hope to get help from you. "
"Alright, I can understand, and I will do my best to help you. Even without you, I would still fight with you, the Feather Demon King."
Li Qingshan looked at Gu Yanying, who had become a little long-winded, and felt a little embarrassed. He had such a great advantage that he really did not have the right to call himself the 'Daughter of the Eagle God'. Moreover, she was constantly fighting to change her fate.
"Thank you!" Gu Yanying nodded slightly and returned to normal. "But you still don't understand. The reason why I brought you here is to tell you that this matter can't be solved with pure power. After so many years, even if the Feather Demon King has not completely refined that feather and accepted the inheritance, as long as he can exert a little of its power, it will be very terrifying. I even suspect that he is already the strongest in the world. "
"Then how did you originally plan to deal with him?"
"I didn't plan to deal with him. According to the lifespan of the Feather Demon King, he has long reached the limit, and all the methods to prolong his life have been used up. I originally planned to outlive him to death. All the people hiding in the dark who covet him will take the opportunity to make a move. Although the forces in the City Amongst the Clouds are strong, they will definitely fall into chaos, and I will be able to take advantage of the situation! "
Gu Yanying stretched out her hand and grabbed at the air. Like a hunting eagle, she seemed to have already caught the magical feather in her hand.
At that time, even the Eagle God would be her opponent, and they might have to fight for it with their own methods. She had already prepared many methods, and Li Qingshan would be her strongest helper.
However, when she opened her hand, she found that it was empty. She could not help but smile helplessly. She had originally hoped that the Feather Demon King would be able to endure for a few more years, giving her enough time to grow. Only then would she be more confident in the future. Who would have thought that there would be such a change? The Feather Demon God, who had disappeared for many years, would actually appear in the Nine Prefectures again.
The power that the Phoenix possessed was the symbol of eternal life.
The Feather Demon King must have taken Li Fengyuan away to prolong his life. If he was left alone, no one could estimate how long he would last this time. It could be a hundred years, a thousand years, or even longer!
