Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 1056 - The King's Color

Chapter 1056: The King’s Color

A cool breeze swept across the high platform, and the sunlight also shone down.

Half of Feng Xinxiao’s face was basked in the morning light, and a mocking look appeared on his face. He asked coldly, “Evidence? You’re a Ruler and one of the top people in the Great Wide World. How could you say such a stupid thing? Since you want evidence, fine, I’ll tell you. The Phoenixes have been pa.s.sed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Our flames have the power of rebirth but according to the different intensities of our bloodline, the flames are presented differently.” His voice contained spiritual power, hence it resounded in all directions along with thunder.

Even the Heavenly Phoenix Fire in Ou Yangming and Feng Duxin’s hands dimmed.

As Feng Xinxiao spoke, his Phoenix Fire lit up. It was orange in color and was exceptionally gorgeous.

The terrace fell silent, leaving only the faint sounds of breathing to be heard. Feng Xinxiao squinted his eyes to feel this moment for a while, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He continued, “The colors red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple correspond to the 7 types of flames, but the one in his hands is white. How can you explain that?” His voice was filled with righteousness. As soon as he finished, he raised his hand and pointed at Ou Yangming. His eyes flashed with a dangerous glint.

It was as though as long as Feng Xiang could not come up with a reasonable explanation, Feng Xinxiao would order all the phoenix powerhouses to attack Ou Yangming.

“How do you want me to explain it?” Feng Xiang’s face was calm. He understood that at this point, Feng Xinxiao had completely fallen into his trap.

Nonetheless, it was because of this that he became calmer, and there was even a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

“A bloodline verification,” Feng Xinxiao uttered, his eyes containing a shocking red light.

Feng Yun sat next to Feng Xiang, his middle finger lightly tapping the back of his chair as he spoke, “Since the two of you can’t come to an agreement, let’s carry out a bloodline verification.”

On the terrace, the phoenix powerhouses from the Main Combat Sect exchanged a look.

They lowered their center of gravity at the same time and exhaled, then they shouted in a m.u.f.fled voice, “A bloodline verification!” Their voices were uniform and contained spiritual power. It was as though thunder from the nine heavens were cras.h.i.+ng down from the sky, creating a spiritual Qi storm. When it swept in all directions, it scattered the white clouds in the sky.

Feng Xiao’s eyes flashed with malice. Seeing that the time was right, he walked over with a smile and said softly, “Master Ou, you only need to place your hands on the Phoenixes’ totem and mobilize your fire’s power. After that, the totem will emit light, and you’ll be able to know the intensity of your bloodline.”

At this moment, all the powerhouses were focused on Ou Yangming.

The members of the Peacemaking Sect were worried, whereas the ones from the Main Combat Sect had faint smiles on their faces. Their eyes were filled with ridicule.

Lil’ Red stood on King Kong’s shoulder, his eyes s.h.i.+ning brightly. He thought to himself, ‘Given that it triggered my instinctive fear, the totem should at least emit green light, right?’ He scanned his surroundings and noticed the different expressions from the crowd. He could not stop sneering internally. Those phoenix powerhouses were like clowns to him at the moment. Once the light was released, their true forms would be revealed.

The goshawk and Big Yellow looked at each other and saw the craftiness in each other’s eyes.

They were looking forward to the moment when purple light would cover the sky.

Ou Yangming gave Feng Xiao a meaningful look, which immediately made his heart go cold. He took steady steps on the terrace in his pair of cloth shoes with white lines and black soles, and he slowly moved toward the totem.

His Qi momentum was continuous as he spread his fingers and placed his hand on the totem. It felt soft to the touch. At the same time, the spiritual Qi from his Dantian Lake was poured into it. Instantly, a scorching wave of air flowed into the young fellow’s body through his palm. It was as if he was soaking in a hot spring. Every pore on his body was relaxed.

It would be fine if that was all but in Ou Yangming’s perception, the totem seemed to have gained intelligence. He could clearly feel its excitement. Yes, excitement. It acted like a pet meeting its owner after being lost for a long time.

1 breath, 2 breaths, 3 breaths… After about 8 minutes!

The surrounding phoenix powerhouses had inexplicable looks in their eyes, and a strange atmosphere spread out.

“After such a long time, there isn’t even a single sign from the totem. Hmph, looks like he’s external help indeed,” an old man, who had lowered the brim of his hat, spoke in a deep voice. He was obviously from the Main Combat Sect.

“Mm, that’s indeed the case.” Beside him, a man holding a cherry blossom blade nodded hard.

Above the terrace, many powerhouses gathered in groups of 3 to 5 and began to discuss softly, but the scene quickly became noisy.

Feng Xinxiao turned and looked at Feng Xiang as he mocked, “Looks like you’re going to lose for sure this time?”

Feng Xiang was unperturbed as he raised his eyebrow and replied, “Who can say for sure? Who knows if purple light will linger in the sky? There’s always a glimmer of hope in everything. Doing things too decisively might not be a good thing.” This was his response to Feng Xinxiao indirectly pointing a finger at Feng Lin earlier.

Feng Xinxiao spread out his hands and said, “Then we’ll see.”

Before this voice was gone, red light circulated like fresh blood above the Phoenixes’ totem. Circle after circle, it spread out in all directions like ripples in a lake. The speed at which it spread was very fast and violent. Many of the phoenix powerhouses had yet to react when the clouds in the sky had been reflected by the redness. One by one, they scattered like colorful clouds in the evening.

“This… Red?” Gasps could be heard from above the terrace.

The members of the Peacemaking Sect tilted their necks slightly and exchanged glances with each other. They could see the joy in each other’s eyes.

Earlier on, the 8 minutes that had pa.s.sed felt longer than a century for them. Every moment was torturous. The thoughts in their minds were bizarre, but they kept praying.

Nevertheless, while some people were happy, correspondingly, some people were unhappy. It was as if a layer of dark clouds was hovering above the powerhouses from the Main Combat Sect. There was only one thought in their minds. ‘Is he really a f*cking member of the Phoenixes? Why is his fire white then?’ They could not understand no matter what.

Feng Xinxiao also could not understand and was stunned for a moment.

His sleeves rolled up the mists as he gritted her teeth and remarked, “Hmph, it’s just red light. Given this apt.i.tude, he’s only at the bottom in our ancestral land.” Once he finished, his face paled, and the thoughts in his mind disappeared. He was muddle-headed, and his mind was blank.

The light on the totem changed rapidly.

Red, orange, yellow…

In just an instant, 3 colors had appeared.

It was worth noting that if the totem emitted yellow light, the person being tested could be considered as having great innate ability even in the Phoenixes’ ancestral land.

At this moment, in just an instant, the color from the totem had changed from red to yellow.

The speed was unprecedented even in the history of the Phoenixes throughout hundreds of thousands of years.

All the phoenix powerhouses stared blankly at the slightly weak figure below the totem. 2 words appeared in their spiritual worlds—outstanding talent.

Many powerhouses were so excited that their bodies began to tremble.

Of course, those powerhouses were on Feng Xiang’s side.

As for the Main Combat Sect, it was a bolt from the blue when the red light was released previously but at this time, they had undoubtedly fallen into a bottomless abyss. Their surroundings were pitch black, and there was no light at all.

Feng Xiang s.h.i.+fted his gaze away from Ou Yangming and looked at Feng Xinxiao. He questioned, “Is he qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion now?”

This shook Feng Xinxiao’s eardrums. It made his face turn black like the bottom of a pot being burned countless times on firewood. His voice carried a hint of bloodthirsty madness as he asked, “You tricked me?”

“It was you who wanted the bloodline verification. What does it have to do with me?” As Feng Xiang said this, he had an innocent look on his face.

This made Feng Xinxiao go crazy. After 2 breaths, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

On the other hand, Feng Xiao’s heart thudded, and his expression turned bitter. He had thought that this was a lucrative job. He had used many methods and went through many connections to host this grand event. Now, it looked like this was not a profitable job at all. It was more like the final nail in a coffin for him. Especially when he saw Feng Xinxiao’s expression, even his heart trembled. He looked at Ou Yangming with a complicated expression and felt depressed.

Feng Duxin retreated 333 meters away, and a fighting spirit surged in his eyes.

He thought to himself, ‘This is what makes this interesting.’ He could also see that Ou Yangming’s attainments in refinement were extraordinary.

It was a subconscious feeling that he had as a smithing master.

Lil’ Red’s eyes curved like crescent moons hanging in the sky, pure and clean. He pouted and said, “Nice one, Lil’ Ming. I wonder how far he can go…” He stood on the king kong’s shoulder and spoke at a steady pace.

Big Yellow and the goshawk exchanged glances, and their eyes looked like burning flames.

Without warning, the color around the totem changed again.

“Green…” A Phoenix clan powerhouse cried out in surprise.

“It changed again! Is this green?”

An uproar came from the terrace. Through the green light, everyone stared at the figure under the Phoenixes’ totem, their eyes filled with shock. Green represented unlimited potential. The richness of his bloodline had reached an indescribable level.

“The… The totem’s emitting green light? This hasn’t happened for thousands of years, right?” A man in his thirties asked.

“Yes, this time, with his help, there’s hope for the Peacemaking Sect to rise!!” An old man not far away nodded, his eyes full of surprise and joy.

Feng Xinxiao’s body s.h.i.+vered slightly, and he looked at Ou Yangming with a vicious gaze. His mind was filled with raging waves. It was as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake—one could imagine the waves that were stirred up in his heart at this moment. It was hard for him to imagine that a human had such an intense Phoenix Bloodline that the color from the totem actually turned green. This crushed his understanding.

Feng Xiang exhaled a mouthful of mist with all his might. He was not less surprised than Feng Xinxiao. He looked at the figure below the totem. Ou Yangming was dressed in white, but he appeared to be a cloud of mist. Feng Xiang could not see through him no matter how hard he tried. He thought to himself, ‘Brother Ou, just how many more things are you hiding?’

Suddenly, the light emitted by the totem changed again.

Blue. However, this blue light had just been revealed for a moment when it was quickly suppressed by a touch of n.o.ble purple.

In an instant, purple filled the sky, earth, and stars with a domineering and peerless appearance. As far as one’s eye could see, it was all purple. Under this n.o.ble, stunning, beautiful, graceful, strange, and unique purple color, everything in the world was eclipsed.

This was because the color could only be emitted by the Heavenly Phoenix Fire. This was the king of fire.

Purple ripples rippled in the spiritual Qi one after another, and the surrounding fragrant gra.s.ses swayed along with them.

It was dead silent on the terrace, where only gentle breezes were blowing. Everyone’s eyes were dull, and they were stupefied.

This touch of purple had stunned everyone.
