Phoenix Destroyer
10. Enlightenments

After passing through the tension, Feng Mo's body suddenly became relaxed so he fell asleep for the entire night.

Waking up the next day, Feng Mo began to feel pain all over his body resulting from the overdraft of spiritual power.

He began to meditate. The aura in the air flocked into the body. Refilling the empty dantian.

After meditating for an entire day, Feng Mo felt his body light as if it had been washed back.

When Feng Mo went down to the restaurant, he happened to see Kong Li was eating.

"Brother Mo, you've come out."

"Brother Kong, are you okay?"

"No problem, just a momentary weakness from overusing spiritual power. This isn't my first time."

"Good."

"By the way I've ordered food for you, I'm afraid you're not out of the room."

"I'm fine, thank you Brother Kong."

Feng Mo sat next to Kong Li. Kong Li continued to complain about yesterday's incident.

"What happened yesterday still makes me wonder, we don't know what happened, the beast suddenly appeared and attacked us. Wasn't he not there before?"

Feng Mo was also not in a state of mind. The giant octopus had to traverse the entire waters to be able to appear there.

"How did Brother Kong find the anomaly yesterday?"

"I have met many Jindan level cultivators. Also before my cultivation jammed, I had touched the third level barrier, it was only a matter of time to break through the barrier. So my consciousness has long been at the peak of the second level. And yesterday we did not find another wild beast attack, I was just idly checking the sea under the boat. Who knew that the beast had been lurking down there."

Frowning, Feng Mo felt that the events of yesterday were not as simple as he thought. Something crossed his mind.

"Brother Kong, I have a guess, but I can't say it here."

"Then let's talk about it after returning to the room."

Feng Mo and Kong Li ate satisfactorily. And rushed back to the room to continue the analysis.

But it turned out that someone had been waiting in front of his second room.

"Master Kong, Mr. Mo, please take a moment." A middle-aged man stopped the two in front of the room door.

"This man, is there something wrong?" Kong Li came forward to speak.

"My family name is Xia. I am a housekeeper in the mansion of the City Lord, The city lord entrusted me to send a gift to both." A box suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Gift?" Kong Li was surprised. "Is the city lord not mistaken in sending a gift? Even though we were there, we did not participate in the battle. We're just lucky to see the incident in person."

Maid Xia shook his head. "This is what the city lord said. The city lord appreciated the appreciation of the two for not leading the beast to the pier."

Wouldn't it be that if we did, even if we weren't directly expelled, we would be put on Haicheng's blacklist?

Black lines appeared on Feng Mo and Kong Li's faces.

It is not usual that both have the same thought.

Seeing the two speechless, Maid Xia stuffed the gift box into Kong Li's arms.

"Then I say goodbye first. Also the mansion The city lord held a banquet to entertain the cultivators participating in the battle tonight, if both of them want to come, both of them are welcome." The middle-aged man immediately left after finishing his speech.

Kong Li had yet to say thank you when the man had already disappeared. "What about this gift?"

"Because it's been given, we take it."

The two of them entered Feng Mo's room.

"What guess does Brother Mo want to talk about?"

"Have you ever thought that the giant octopus was really us?"

Kong Li was stunned. "Sister Mo means that the Octopus crossed the ocean just to kill us?"

"It's more to eat you guys."

A voice interrupted Feng Mo who wanted to say his thoughts. The two were startled, immediately jumping away from the source of the sound.

Another middle-aged man did not know when he had been inside the room.

Feng Mo and Kong Li were immediately on guard. Both of them had a fighting attitude at any time.

"You little demons dare to leave the house without knowing the common sense of the world." One sentence reveals their identity.

The alarm went off in the minds of the two, and immediately raised the highest level of alertness.

"No idea what Senior is doing here?" Feng Mo asked cautiously.

The middle-aged man snorted. "No need to be careful, we've met before."

"Where is that?"

"In the market."

A demon pill seller appeared in Feng Mo's mind, even if the senior was an acquaintance, Feng Mo still did not lower his guard.

Seeing that they had recognized him, but remained vigilant, the middle-aged man showed his appreciation. But his face remained unchanged.

"Come on."

Kong Li pulled Feng Mo to the back of his body. "Senior doesn't know what to say?"

"Come and sit down, let's have a chat."

With a wave of hands, a set of tables appeared along with teapots and snacks.

If there is no tense atmosphere between them, it is definitely a good time for afternoon tea and chat.

Feng Mo and Kong Li looked at each other, both of them walking around vigilantly if at any time the senior attacked them all of a sudden.

The middle-aged man pretended not to see their vigilance towards him.

"Nobody told you to hide your demonic breath when you walked among humans?" That simple question silenced both of them.

Kong Li frowned unhappily.

It reminded him of the betrayal of his little servant. "Senior, actually we've been lost in human territory, we have no way of returning home."

"How did you get lost?"

"Some enemies hit us down the abyss, when we realized, we were already in human territory."

"You guys used a teleportation formation?."

"Something like that."

The man's mouth twitched. "This means you haven't learned how to hide the devil's breath."

"Not yet, but it looks like someone has taught me."

"What about you?"

The silent Feng Mo let Kong Li speak. "I have no parents, no one taught me."

Two points of light flew towards Feng Mo and Kong Li, then entered into their heads.

Feng Mo was surprised once a spell appeared in his mind.

"Hum, the reason why the Octopus targeted you earlier, is because he smelled the demonic breath you emitted. Ferocious beasts always act with instinct, they are eyeing little demon cultivators like you because by eating demon cultivators, their strength and wisdom will be higher and higher. That way they would be able to follow the path of cultivation and live long."

"Thank you Senior for the lead."

"Hum, practice the spell well."

"Yes Senior."

"If you want to go back inland, ask the city lord. He has a way to get away from Haicheng."

Kong Li was surprised. "How does senior know?"

"With your original form, will you stay at sea?" One more sentence reveals the truth.

Both of them were more convinced that the man in front of them was a high-level demon cultivator.

"How should we ask?"

"Find out yourself."

"Why didn't Senior take us out on his own?"

"What's in it for me?!" Seeing the quarrel of the two, Feng Mo simply lowered his head to drink the tea in the cup.

"Come-ayo! I don't have anything left to tell you anymore." The old man took back his tea table set.

Replace it with two mysterious boxes.

"This box is for you, quickly cultivate so as not to waste your little lives."

"Thank you Senior."

The man nodded and walked towards the window, but before he left he had a chance to look towards Feng Mo.

"And you little Phoenix, I don't know how Feng Tian let you roam outside. Be careful with your cultivation, let the past remain in the past, the future is still in your own hands." The old man disappeared after saying something shocking.

The old man's mysterious words surprised Feng Mo.

Feng Mo's cultivation suddenly fluctuated, he held his breath suppressing the leaking spiritual energy.

"Brother Mo?"

"Brother Kong, can you come out for a moment? I will stabilize my cultivation first."

"It's okay, you have to be careful."

After Kong Li came out of the room, Feng Mo sat in meditation on the bed.

When Feng Mo opened his eyes again, the day had darkened. The moonlight came in from the window and fought a part of the room.

Feng Mo's dark eyes stared blankly.

The middle-aged man's words made Feng Mo realize that in fact deep in his heart, he still had a fear of the past.

Feelings of ridicule, humiliation, abandonment, even if Feng Mo had left the clan, he still kept it in his heart.

As long as Feng Mo could not let go, it would become a heart demon and become an obstacle to his cultivation in the future.

If the heart demon continued to grow unbeknownst to him, his cultivation would be hampered gradually, and all of his future behavior would be dominated by feelings.

Feng Mo naturally did not want that to happen.

He wanted strength because he didn't want to be looked down upon, but if it made him cultivate a heart demon, Feng Mo didn't even want it.

But strength is the main goal.

Revenge still needs to be done. But the cultivation goal must be rearranged.

The lifespan of cultivators was very long, if the cultivation goal was not set from the start then it would be easy to get lost and not be able to return.

Feng Mo had yet to discover the purpose of his cultivation, cultivators possessed varying abilities and different talents.

If a cultivator had low talent, even if he used his entire life to search for a path of cultivation, he would not be able to achieve it.

Unless he had an adventure that could refine his talent.

For cultivators with high talent, they usually had a higher purpose.

In addition to longevity, they seek a path to immortality.

Of eternity!

Feng Mo jumped out of bed excitedly.

How could he forget. What is revenge, what is humiliation, they are nothing in front of immortality!

Feng Mo was so happy that he wanted to jump, but his face still did not change in the slightest.

The road of eternity is long.

As long as Feng Mo set his goal and worked hard. Even if it took him thousands or tens of thousands of years to fly to the upper realms, Feng Mo could afford it.

On a quiet night, Feng Mo did not want to sleep anymore due to being too excited. He wanted to go out in search of the wind and calm down.

When Feng Mo opened the door, he saw someone sitting in front of his room.

The sleepy Kong Li gasped awake, his clothes falling apart from sitting carelessly.

"Brother Mo, you're finally out."

"Brother Kong, what are you doing on the doorstep? Didn't you go back to your room? "

Kong Li smiled shyly. "Aren't I worried about you?" At first he was completely shocked to learn that Feng Mo was actually a Phoenix.

But then when he realized that Feng Mo's spiritual fluctuations were caused by emotional feelings. He understood a little, maybe something had happened.

He wondered, had Feng Mo ever been emotionally injured before they met?

Out of concern, Kong Li had no interest in returning to his room.

Feng Mo was the only friend he had now. Kong Li did not want him to have any trouble.

Hearing Kong Li's worries, Feng Mo felt touched. "Thank you for worrying about me, Brother Kong. I'm fine, but can't you wait until tomorrow morning to ask again?"

"I just can't wait, by the way let's open a gift from the City Lord." Kong Li did not ask again about what happened.

"Then go in first."

The two went back into the room. Feng Mo immediately placed a restriction inside the room, something given by the city lord was definitely a good thing.

When Kong Li opened the gift box, a strong pressure enveloped the entire room.

Feng Mo immediately built a stronger boundary to prevent pressure from leaking out. They don't want to make a scene at night.

"Tentacle Octopus!"
