Chapter 66: The Fairy Sparrow Descends Upon the World

  "The Earl bestowed upon me ten clusters of Solar True Fire, and aside from the one I kept for myself, the remaining nine were given to the nine Viscounts who followed me into the Abyss." Feng Xian took out a crystal orb, within which was sealed a cluster of golden flames that danced about. With a flick of her wrist, she tossed the crystal orb at Bai Cangdong: "Before the Eight-eyed Heaven's transformation, simply wearing the Solar True Fire on one's person could resist its Heavenly Eye Technique; now, however, it is useless. The transformed Eight-eyed Heaven's Heavenly Eye Technique has also undergone a change, and the Solar True Fire can no longer counter it."

  "Can those who were killed still keep their true inner fire?" asked Bai Cangdong.

  "If the Eight Trigrams Heavenly King hadn't crushed the crystal bead, the True Sun Fire should still be on the corpse." Feng Xian looked at Bai Cangdong with some curiosity: "What do you want the True Sun Fire for?"

  Bai Cangdong didn't answer, but instead asked: "Can this cluster of true fire from the sun be given to me?"

  "It's useless stuff, you can take it if you want." Feng Xian said indifferently, but was somewhat curious about why Bai Cangdong wanted the Taiyang True Fire.

  Bai Cangdong summoned the Xian Que egg, crushed the crystal bead, and let the true fire of the sun fall on the Xian Que egg, then it was slowly absorbed into the egg.

  "What is an Undead Egg?! What level is it?!" Feng Xian exclaimed in surprise.

  "Baron level, if it can be hatched, it may have some help for our altar of not dying from the impact." Bai Cangdong said with his eyes fixed on the Xianji egg.

  "You're really lucky to have obtained a Viscount-level Undead Egg. As far as I know, our entire Windflower City doesn't even have more than ten Viscount-level Undead Eggs. What kind of Undead Egg is this?"

  "Xian Que, have you heard of it?"

  "Could it be the immortal sparrow from Sparrow Fairy Forest?" asked Feng Xian with some surprise.

  "If there wasn't a second Lin Xian, then it must be that Lin Xian was not wrong."

  "It's really great, hurry up and hatch it. The Solar Flare of the Celestial Bird is even more powerful than the True Sunfire, perhaps it can also counter the mutated Heavenly Eye Technique."

  "I need more solar true fire to hatch the celestial sparrow." Bai Cangdong put away the celestial sparrow egg that had absorbed the solar true fire, with a hatching degree of only seventeen percent.

  "How much more true fire of the sun is needed?" asked Feng Xian.

  "Earlier, with a cluster of suns like that, at least six clusters are still needed."

  "We'll go to Qing Shi Ping first, and if we're lucky, we should be able to get enough Solar True Fire."

  "It's too late, let's just go straight to the Undying Altar." Bai Cangdong shook his head and said.

  "Even if we rush to the Undying Altar now, we'll still have to face the Eight-Eyed Heaven King. If we can't break his Heavenly Eye Technique, we're still doomed. It's better to hatch the Celestial Sparrow first. If the Celestial Sparrow can counter the Heavenly Eye Technique, we might still have a chance to kill the Eight-Eyed Heaven King."

  "What kind of ability is Tianmu Tongshu that makes you so cautious?" asked Bai Cangdong with a frown.

  "A terribly frightening eye technique, as long as you make eye contact with any of the eight eyes of the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King, your eyes will be directly pierced by an invisible and deadly light. If it were another undead creature that possessed the Heavenly Eye Technique, it would be fine, after all, as long as you can see its movements, there is a possibility to avoid eye contact with it. However, the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King possesses the ability to turn invisible, so even if you are walking in an empty space, suddenly eight eyes appear in front of you, and by that time, it's already too late to close your eyes. In the past, wearing the True Fire of the Sun could resist the Heavenly Eye Technique, but now even the True Fire of the Sun is useless. Unless one finds another object that can counter the Heavenly Eye Technique, even if a Knight of the Four Directions were to encounter it, they would undoubtedly meet a tragic end."

  Bai Cang didn't expect that the Eight-eyed Heaven King would be so troublesome, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Are you sure that the Sun Blazing Fire of the Immortal Bird can counter the Heavenly Eye Technique of the Eight-eyed Heaven King?"

  "It's uncertain, but there's always a glimmer of hope, better than us recklessly going to our deaths."

  "What you said makes sense, let's go to Qing Shiping first."

  The two of them changed direction and headed towards Qing Shi Ping. Fortunately, Qing Shi Ping was not far from their current location, so it didn't take much time for the two to arrive at Qing Shi Ping.

  They met a few undead on the road who were unlucky and were dealt with by Feng Xian before Bai Cangdong could even make a move.

  Feng Xian's strength left Bai Cangdong somewhat surprised, her injuries seemed to have fully recovered, and the Benming Shenguang she used was also very powerful, completely unable to see any signs of her previous severe injuries.

  "There are really a lot of dead people." Bai Cangdong saw the corpses all over the ground, at least thirty or forty people, and every now and then he could see several more. Most of the dead bodies had eyes that had turned into two black charcoal-like balls. Without asking Feng Xian, Bai Cangdong could also guess that these people were all victims of Tianmu's Heavenly Eye Technique.

  "Not bad luck, many people's true sun fire is still there, these should be enough, right?" Feng Xian flipped out eight crystal beads that sealed the true sun fire from the corpse and threw them to Bai Cangdong.

  "That should be enough." Bai Canghai summoned the Xian Que egg once more, crushing a crystal orb and letting it absorb all of the Taiyang True Fire.

  When the Fairy Bird's egg absorbed seven clusters of true solar fire, it began to turn red and heat up, then the entire egg ignited, enveloped in scarlet flames.

  A clear and crisp cry echoed from the flames, a firebird flew out of the flames, those red flames gradually decreased, and finally turned into the firebird's plumage.

  "This doesn't look like a phoenix at all!" Feng Xian looked at the firebird with an odd expression, because of the flames' obstruction, she hadn't seen the crest mark on the phoenix's body.

  Bai Cangdong looked at Xian Que, also with some surprise in his heart. The current appearance of Xian Que was almost the same as when it was promoting to viscount, except that its body size had shrunk a lot, only as big as an ordinary crow.

  The phoenix flew around the white-haired old man three times, and suddenly the flames on its body shook, turning into fireworks that shattered and disappeared. A scarlet-plumed bird of paradise landed in his palm.

  After obtaining the information of the immortal sparrow from the fate plate, Bai Cangdong's expression became even more bizarre. This immortal sparrow was only in its juvenile form, but in the information on the fate plate, it possessed the potential to advance to the rank of earl.

  "It looks like there are more fairy sparrows now." Feng Xian looked at the little fairy sparrow and asked, "But it's only this small, how can its solar flare power be so strong?"

  "Give it a try." Bai Cangdong gave the command to Xian Que, and Xian Que instantly flew out, spewing out scarlet red light like flames from its mouth.

  A boulder half the height of a man lasted less than three seconds under the solar flares of the Phoenix, turning into a pool of magma.

  "It's no wonder it's a Viscount-level Fairy Bird, and its power is not inferior to the Ten-Grid White Silver Divine Light of the Undead just after hatching. I don't know if it can withstand the Heavenly Eye Technique." Feng Xian looked at the Fairy Bird with some envy.

  "Help!" Suddenly someone came running from the rocky forest, with several undead creatures desperately chasing behind.

  "It's Lin Pingzhi, and he hasn't died yet."

  Ling Po's clothes were disheveled, and there was almost a wound bleeding on his body. He looked quite wretched. Originally, he was very surprised to see someone, but after seeing it clearly was Feng Xian, he had a look of despair on his face.

  "What's with that expression, do you think I, Feng Xian, would eat you?" Feng Xian let out a cold snort and rushed out like the wind, swinging out his golden Benming Shenguang in his hand, instantly killing all the undead creatures chasing after Ling Bo.

  Lingbo looked at Fengxian in surprise, one reason being that she didn't expect Fengxian to come and save her, the other reason was that Fengxian's strength far exceeded her expectations.

  "How's your injury?" Bai Cangdong looked at Ling Bo, a very delicate woman, but she didn't look too good. If she wasn't capable of fighting, they could only consider leaving her to fend for herself; they couldn't bring a burden with them when charging into the Undying Altar.

  "It's just a superficial wound, apply some medicine and it'll be fine." Ling Bo said as she took out the ointment and applied it to her wound. However, the position on her back was hard for her to reach herself, so she could only look at Feng Xian with pleading eyes.

  "What are you looking at? Don't help apply the medicine to her wound on her back." Feng Xian didn't intend to help Ling Bo, and instead turned to Bai Cangdong and said a sentence.

  Bai Cangdong didn't say anything and walked over to take the medicine from Ling Bo's hand, then turned around to apply it to the wound on his back.

  Her face flushed slightly, but she didn't resist or say anything.

  "The smooth skin of Ling Bo is quite good, isn't it? Her fair and delicate skin is famous in our Feng Hua City, I don't know how many young ladies are jealous of her, even Hua Qian Wu can't help but be envious." Feng Xian said with a hint of a smile as she looked at Bai Cang Dong.

  "Feng Xian you..." Ling Bo's face turned bright red.

  "We can't afford to waste any more time, we must rush to the Undead Altar immediately. Hopefully, the Four Knights are still alive; otherwise, with just the three of us, it's almost impossible to charge up the Undead Altar." Bai Cangdong said solemnly, ignoring Feng Xian after treating his wound.

  "That's not certain." Feng Xian seemed to be completely indifferent as to whether the Four Knights were still alive or not.

  Three people set out on the road together, but Bai Cangdong's gaze at Feng Xian became increasingly strange. If Feng Xian's rapid recovery from his severe injuries had left Bai Cangdong astonished, then Feng Xian's increasingly dominant display now elevated Bai Cangdong's astonishment to an unbelievable level.

  Now Feng Xian's innate divine light has become so strong that even Bai Cangdong is speechless, among the viscounts he has seen, only Sifang Qi and Kongque can be compared to Feng Xian in terms of their innate divine light.

  Moreover, he couldn't tell if it was an illusion or not, but Bai Cangdong felt that Feng Xian's innate divine light was still growing stronger. The faint innate divine light emanating from her body was almost about to condense into a visible aura.

  From a distance, Feng Xian's entire being seemed to be enveloped in golden splendor, as if she were an immortal descending from the heavens, exuding an aura of sacred purity that made one feel ashamed and unworthy to profane.
