Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1286 - 1271: Mysterious Light Holy Land Ruins
After hearing Shi Feng's words, the Sacred Flame said, "I didn't sense anything!"
Ever since the Sacred Flame's betrayal and its subsequent subjugation by Shi Feng, it had become more and more silent, seldom speaking.
In truth, it had already come to realize that it would be nearly impossible to escape this person's control in this lifetime.
Originally, it thought that as long as it endured until returning to its former Peak Realm, it could completely rid itself of this person, perhaps even kill him to avenge past humiliations.
But the result was the same! And now, this person had reached a level even higher than it could during its peak.
Shi Feng and the Sacred Flame were one, and now with his Soul Power entering the Demigod Realm, it was extremely sharp, and he swiftly sensed the Sacred Flame's current emotions, communicating with it through the soul:
"Actually, you don't need to feel that way. Following me, I have never abused you for no reason. You have witnessed my growth from the weakest to the strength I possess today, so you must know my future achievements will certainly not be limited to this.
Since we are one, your achievements naturally will not be limited to this either. You should feel honored to become my Dantian!"
"Honored?" The Sacred Flame within Shi Feng's body gave a slight tremble, as if it coldly laughed after hearing Shi Feng's words, and then said:
"Yes, your talent is one in billions, you are an unparalleled Evil Demon. I have never seen anyone's talent that can match yours. But I have lost the most important thing, which is freedom!
Without freedom, what does strength matter? The feeling of losing freedom is something you can never understand." Before the Sacred Flame became Shi Feng's Dantian, it was suppressed by Tianmu Ice Soul Peak for endless years, and that longing for freedom, that intensity, is something few Living Beings could comprehend.
"You want freedom? Actually, it's simple!" Shi Feng said.
"Oh?" Upon hearing Shi Feng's words, the Sacred Flame suddenly let out a surprised "Oh", then said, "You can let me go?" But after saying this, the Sacred Flame did not believe it at all. This person's Dantian and itself were fused, and if separated again, he would become a waste.
Would he become a waste for its freedom?
The Sacred Flame knew this martial arts fanatic's craving for power, and knew he naturally wouldn't be that magnanimous!
Shi Feng said, "You know I'm proficient in the Soul Dao. If you really want freedom, I can try to separate your consciousness from your main body. How about it?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Hearing Shi Feng's words, the Sacred Flame resolutely rejected it, saying, "If I leave my main body, what will I become? What's the difference from those wandering ghosts!"
"This can be resolved. I can find a body for you to reside in!" Shi Feng said.
"Forget it, you don't need to say anymore. Don't bother yourself, I will not covet that so-called freedom!" the Sacred Flame said.
After saying this, the Sacred Flame fell completely silent, no longer making a sound.
Sensing the silent Sacred Flame, Shi Feng suddenly smirked, thinking to himself: "This guy, let's see if he stays obedient. If he doesn't, I will truly separate his consciousness, hmph hmph!"
...
"Hmm? This is already the fifth group of people moving swiftly in this southwest direction."
Shi Feng and Huo Yu were still rapidly traversing the airspace of the Heavenly Tower Desert. Suddenly, they saw another group of about twenty people moving swiftly in the southwest direction, then soon disappearing at the edge of the Void.
Just a moment ago, with such groups rapidly moving southwest, he had already encountered the fifth wave by now.
Moreover, the faces of these people showed some signs of anticipation and excitement.
"Something must be happening in that direction. Boss, shall I go and inquire?" Huo Yu also noticed these crowds and spoke to Shi Feng.
"Alright!" Shi Feng nodded.
Then, Shi Feng and Huo Yu's rapidly moving figures suddenly came to a halt.
To attract so many Martial Artists to head there, there must be something extraordinary, whether it be an item, event, or person in that direction.
Very quickly, Huo Yu's form flashed toward that southwest direction, chasing after the previously seen group to make inquiries.
"Could it be that some Treasure has emerged in Heavenly Tower Desert? Even Jiangg Ning, the Divine Refiner of Jiangg Family, has appeared in Sand Wasteland Ancient City." Shi Feng recalled the bronze chariot he saw earlier in the Sand Wasteland Ancient City and murmured lightly.
And Jiangg Ning's bronze chariot indeed rushed out of the South City gate swiftly at that time.
In the faint sensation, Shi Feng increasingly felt there was something alluring in the southwest direction of the Heavenly Tower Desert!
Shi Feng stood proudly in mid-air, facing the scorching heat, his eyes continually fixed on the southwest, waiting for Huo Yu's return.
About thirty minutes later, that red flame of Huo Yu's form appeared in Shi Feng's gaze. "Boss, I've found out!" Huo Yu quickly arrived before Shi Feng and said to him.
"Oh, you've found out? What's there?" Shi Feng opened his mouth and asked.
Huo Yu said, "Three days ago, there have been constant disturbances in this southwest direction, and people eventually realized that the area was once the site of the Mysterious Light Holy Land two thousand years ago."
The Mysterious Light Holy Land, rooted in ancient legacy, was an extraordinarily powerful Sacred Land over two thousand years ago. Yet no one knew what happened, as the Holy Land suddenly vanished overnight, including the Sacred Lord, all the powerful figures, and tens of thousands of disciples within!
It's as if overnight, this Mysterious Light Holy Land evaporated from this world! For two thousand years, many tried excavations to uncover the vanished Mysterious Light Holy Land, but all resulted in nothing."
"So, some suspect the disturbance indicates the emergence of the Mysterious Light Holy Land's ruins, which have been lost for two thousand years? Hence, those people are heading to that area." Combining Huo Yu's words, Shi Feng spoke again.
"Yes, correct!" Huo Yu nodded and said, "The formidable Mysterious Light Holy Land included countless powerful Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, but most enticing is the rumored True God Battle Artifact of the Mysterious Light Holy Land!"
"A True God Battle Artifact is truly captivating!" Shi Feng nodded and said. The powerful True God Battle Artifact made even him slightly move with excitement.
Then, Huo Yu added to Shi Feng, "That area has already attracted various forces these days, and it's said that geniuses from various places are converging. Boss, you might as well go and meet them."
This "Demon", with such Battle Power at a young age, may cause these geniuses to feel ashamed in comparison!
At least, Flame Saint Son Huo Yu, once hailed as a genius, increasingly felt the gap with this "Demon" growing larger the more he interacted with him!
