The Feng Zun Journey
Untitled

Before Feng Zun could think of anything about the warden, a memory fragment appeared in his head.

This memory fragment contained information about a cultivation faction that his teacher had once established in Wild Orion.

It was referred to as the Fantian Emperor Faction, within which were nine of his master disciples in the past, and among those who were the most powerful was his first disciple, Xuanwu Yang, his third disciple Luo Yao, and his little disciple Ling Tang.

Unfortunately after Long Shangdi disappeared and was considered dead, the three strongest disciples actually betrayed him.

After obtaining a tempting offer, they even agreed to collude with Demon Emperor Damballa in search of the existence of a Chosen Human.

Upon learning of this, his seventh disciple, Yin Guan, went to the Little Western Heaven to meet the Great Buddha Heart Stone to beg for guidance.

The Great Buddha Heart Stone could not give any clues, yet he asked for a drop of blood from Yin Guan.

However, Yin Guan's actions were known to his seniors, and he was considered a traitor.

And it was also one of the causes of the Qilin world he led to get an invasion, from the forces of Demon Emperor Damballa led by Xuanwu Yang, Luo Hao, and Ling Tang.

The great Buddha Heart Stone secretly saved the soul fragment Yin Guan through the drop of blood he once gave, not only that, he also saved the last Qilin Race, Yin Ying.

Then he threw the two into another world, and made the two of them arrive at the Luo Mainland, albeit separately.

Feng Zun sighed, his gaze growing more and more mysterious as if harboring an extremely deep hatred.

....

This was not the first time Feng Zun had heard of the nickname about the warden.

The Nine-Headed Bird King had been captured by someone who called himself the warden of the prison in the Sixth Star Ruins. 

The warden imprisoned him in a place called the Blood Cave God Prison, where his cultivation base and his worse life were gnawed day and night.

In addition, Yuan Xu had also met the other prison guards in the Devil Domain Gorge, and he had only been able to escape when he sacrificed his life. Despite surviving, all that was left of him now was a fragment of his soul.

Feng Zun suspected that the prison warden Yuan Xu had encountered was the same terrifying creature confined in the depths of the Meteorite Gorge.

Now, he heard from the prison guards once more, but this time, it had something to do with the pawnshop owner!

"Your Majesty."

Suddenly, a voice came out from the abacus, “Is it... Do you perhaps worry about the safety of our great Mistress?”

Feng Zun froze, stunned.

Before he could answer, another black piece of paper appeared on the scales plate.

The balance sheet swayed, and a voice came out of it, “Your Highness, our Big Lady said that if we feel you are worried about her, we should give this letter to you.”

Feng Zun remained silent, but inwardly, he wanted to shout, How could the teacher be worried about such a crazy woman?

Putting aside how powerful that woman's cultivation base was, the mysterious and unfathomable artifact that was on her, was more than enough for her to do whatever she wanted without the slightest fear.

In fact, he should be worried about those prison guards!

However, Feng Zun had been at odds with the power of the taboo before, and he knew that in the way that the mad woman had, he could completely ignore her threat!

Feng Zun took out a second black paper and unfolded it. 

There, he saw another message:

“Old Dragon, because you opened this letter, so I think you still have a little conscience! I headed to the depths of the starry sky. If I find the higher swordsmanship you are after, I will naturally get it for you."

“However, if you want to hear what I have learned, you should fold ten thousand paper cranes instead!”

Upon seeing this, Feng Zun laughed.

In his previous teacher's life, he once burned this pawnshop. Although he did not destroy the place, he burned some of the highest treasures in the world, as well as thousands of folding paper cranes belonging to its owner.

The mad woman had never cared about the incomparable treasure that had come crashing down at that moment, but she was actually very upset by the burning paper stork, and he had fought with her many times because of that…

When he saw his message, Feng Zun could only sigh.

If the teacher knew that the mad woman was very fond of her paper stork, she would definitely not burn it all down…

Feng Zun flicked his finger, and the letter was shattered into ashes.

He then looked at the Heart-Detecting Bell, “Why did you approve of that sword cultivator earlier?”

“Your Majesty, it is because I feel the heart of his sword is unusually strong. Even in the Nine Prefectures of the Wild Orion Realm, it would be the best.” said the bell spirit. 

He stuttered, “I can't bear to see him destroyed, so I used my strength to bring him back from the brink of mental breakdown.”

Feng Zun nodded, then looked at the old pawnshop, “What is inside that bronze box?”

The old pawnbroker said hurriedly, “Always, not long after the Immortal Sword of the Blood Temple entered the Immortal God Ascension Realm, he pawned the sword that was his grindstone...

"The sword had accompanied him for many years, and thus he was able to temper the tip of his sword and sword qi. To sword cultivators, this was an extremely rare and precious treasure. In addition, the holder of the sword is possible to gain enlightenment from it, and learn from the various insights the Eternal Sword of the Blood Temple had about the Dao of the Sword.”

Feng Zun was shocked.

The Eternal Sword of the Blood Shrine was one of the three legends, the Wild Orion's greatest sword cultivator of the spirit cultivation path. 

His achievements in the Sword Dao were amazing, no matter in which era he appeared.

This grindstone was certainly not an ordinary precious treasure. 

“I didn't expect, but actually you are quite generous.” Feng Zun glanced at the Counting Scale. 

All pawnshop transactions have been through the scales.

A respectful voice sounded from within the scales, “Your Majesty, because that guest is your friend, of course I should not be stingy to him.”

“He's not my friend.” Feng Zun shook his head, but did not explain. 

He again said, “You might think you have suffered a huge loss by giving him the grindstone of the Eternal Sword of the Blood Temple, but by doing so, you might have suffered a huge loss, he had indirectly been bound by the karma of the Blood Shrine's Immortal Sword. If he benefited from it, it would also have implications for him. Don't forget, the Eternal Demon Temple of Blood is not short of enemies.”
