Chapter 2105: Chapter 2372: Unveiling Heaven’s Secrets! (Second Update)
Inside the room.
Everything was ready.
Ren Feifan shot out over a dozen formation flags, glimmering, with a trace of formation power rippling continuously.
Ren Feifan formed a seal with his fingers and even forced out a drop of essence blood, shooting it onto the ground.
A golden barrier leapt into existence!
“Old man, I’ll protect you! If you can’t decipher it, don’t force it.”
The old man nodded. As a master of destiny, he had deciphered the Heavenly Path many times in his life.
He was long used to it.
This time, however, he was trying to decipher the location of the Ancient Vermilion Bird.
The position of the Ancient Vermilion Bird was such that forcibly deciphering it would definitely cause severe damage to his body.
But he had no choice left.
The fate of his granddaughter might rest on this scenario.
The old man closed his eyes, with a stone table in front of him.
He pulled out three ancient bronze coins from his pocket and tossed them up.
The coins spun continuously on the table, showing no sign of stopping.
The old man bit his finger, shooting out three streams of essence blood!
The essence blood landed on the coins, a faint blue light flickering instantaneously.
The old man chanted incessantly: “The unlucky officer cannot be spoken of; with control, prosperity comes to him. Seven kills controlled turn into power, stepping into clouds and exhaling life. A sole kill makes a name known throughout the world; too many kills uproot stability in the family, many kills lead to solitude and widowhood, when matters of the ox remain stagnant, matters of the horse progress…”
The pace of chanting quickened.
Ren Feifan even noticed golden runes emerging from the old man’s mouth.
The runes floated before him, forming a golden door!
“This is…”
The shock in Ren Feifan’s heart was indescribable.
He could feel the immense restriction behind that door!
“Boom!”
Sky Thunder exploded overhead!
Ren Feifan clearly understood that the old man’s deciphering of heaven’s secret had been detected by the Heavenly Path!
The natural consequence would be Sky Thunder falling as punishment!
“Bang!”
A bolt of Sky Thunder pierced through the roof, thundering clouds overhead.
A celestial phenomenon!
Ren Feifan knew well the consequences if the Sky Thunder struck the old man, leaving no room for hesitation, he pulled out the Ancient Dust Sword, ascending directly to the rooftop!
“Boom!”
The Sky Thunder descended, striking directly on Ren Feifan!
Ren Feifan felt pain coursing through his body, but the thunder clouds in his Dantian seemed to sense something, springing to life, absorbing all the thunder surrounding Ren Feifan!
Not leaving a bit behind!
Bolt after bolt of Sky Thunder descended, but with each fall, the thunder clouds in the Dantian would unhesitatingly absorb them.
In this way, Ren Feifan greatly benefited.
He felt a surge of joy, casting his gaze below, only to see that the golden door had already cracked open slightly.
The old man did not hesitate, shooting out another drop of essence blood!
The essence blood collided with the door, the old man roaring: “Heaven’s Secret Door, open for me! I burn twenty years of my lifespan in exchange for knowledge of the Ancient Vermilion Bird’s whereabouts!”
With those words, the entire room began to tremble.
A mighty aura spilled out from the golden door, crashing in all directions.
“Ugh!”
The old man couldn’t hold back, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The blood dyed the coins on the table, a shocking sight.
Yet the old man persisted, chanting ceaselessly, until the so-called Heaven’s Ultimate Door reopened!
The old man’s face lit up with joy, as he saw a mountain peak.
An enormous mountain peak!
Far surpassing anything within the Hidden Gate!
Critically, the spiritual energy there was immensely dense.
Atop the mountain peak, a young woman hovered in mid-air, darkness spreading behind her.
Within that darkness, the shadow of a Vermilion Bird could be seen!
Countless chains bound the shadow of the Vermilion Bird!
This young woman was evidently the human form of the Vermilion Bird!
Clearly, the Vermilion Bird’s true form resided within that dark space.
The Vermilion Bird’s soul was hidden within that woman’s body!
Ren Feifan’s eyes widened, quickly descending back down.
Both he and the old man wished to glimpse the woman’s appearance, the elder exerting himself once more.
The next moment, the woman atop the mountain peak sensed something, her icy gaze shooting over!
The old man’s face turned pale, spitting out another mouthful of blood, and he fell unconscious!
Exhausted!
The Heaven’s Secret Door slammed shut, plunging the entire room into silence!
“Old man!”
Ren Feifan hurriedly supported the old man, giving him an elixir to swallow, channeling True Qi directly to the old man’s back.
Five minutes later, the old man’s eyes opened, but he looked as though he had aged decades.
“How are you feeling? Any major issues?”
The old man coughed lightly, looking at Ren Feifan: “You saw it just now, that Ancient Vermilion Bird wields the power of space; it can traverse any place, hiding its body in a dark location while possessing a young woman.
To find the Ancient Vermilion Bird, you must find this girl. Although her appearance wasn’t clear, based on the location, she should be atop Pilgrimage Mountain within the Hidden Gate.”
Upon hearing Pilgrimage Mountain, Ren Feifan suddenly recalled the Demon Lord’s instructions.
Was the other party really not deceiving him?
The Ancient Vermilion Bird on Pilgrimage Mountain?
Yet the Heaven’s Ultimate Door provided more specific information.
Though unclear about the person’s appearance, the outline and aura were unmistakable.
“That’s perfect; two tasks can be accomplished simultaneously.”
Ren Feifan thought to himself.
The old man said to Ren Feifan: “Shi Han’s fate might rest in your hands; I’ve used too much power this time, and it will be impossible to divine or decipher heaven’s secrets again anytime soon. I can’t predict the danger ahead; everything depends on you now.”
“However, I’ve calculated your fate before—both Imperial Fate and Ultimate Calamity Fate individuals can’t die prematurely, much less someone possessing both…”
Ren Feifan nodded: “Rest assured, old man, the things that follow are up to me. I won’t let anything happen to Shi Han; and by the way, stay at Double Lotus Sect for now, I’ll talk to Shi Han. Keep an eye on that shadow; although it promised not to harm Shi Han, caution is best, I always sense an unsettling aura.”
“Okay, rest assured. Even if it costs my life, I won’t let that person harm Shi Han one bit.”
Ren Feifan wanted to say more, but suddenly, a powerful anomaly exploded in his mind.
“This is…”
Ren Feifan’s face changed drastically!
Because this anomaly was a formation anomaly!
It was the anomaly of the Sect Protection Array he personally established at Saint Mountain!
Sect Mountain is in danger!
Who could it be?
The Sect Mountain was hidden so well, outsiders would only think it a spiritless waste mountain, why attack suddenly?
Rushing there now would take at least ten days half a month!
What to do!
Ren Feifan’s expression turned extremely tense.
Although the Sect Mountain now had powerful figures stationed.
Sage Spirit Snake, Ming, Body Refinement Man Zi, and others—their strength should be stronger now.
