Dual Sword God Box Set
Page 65
"Eh? This bloodline feels so powerful! What layer strength is this? Could it be in the first layer? Or is it the second layer?" Feng Yu asked surprised as he gripped his fist tightly causing the space before him to ripple.
Bang! A powerful energy filled the air, causing the thunderous flames surrounding the area to shake in disorder. After a short while, the energy soon faded away as it receded into Feng Yu's body.
"What! How could I cause such a fluctuation only by simply clenching my fists? The prestige was no weaker than 7 tier Aura Disciple..." Feng Yu exclaimed as he looked at his fists with shock.
However, he soon shook his head and cleared his surprise as he spoke once more, "Let's not worry about this right now. I can figure out my complete battle power after I figure out the issue regarding my cultivation scripture."
Feng Yu looked around the environment with his half-formed spiritual sense at the terrifying enclosure of thunderous flames that stretched as far as the could see. He nodded his head and spoke, "I should be safe here for a while, going out of this temporary safe zone to travel in this area was already far too risky with my current cultivation. Now then, let's have a look see..."
Upon saying this, he moved his consciousness into his body to inspect the scene of his inner consciousness.
It was a vast space filled with thunderous blazing flames that created a sea that stretched out of sight. If one looked at the center of this space, they would see a large black spheroid that floated and pulsated like a beating heart. It had nine rings circling it each with a different color with a final tenth ring that was now more than 95% formed.
A thunderous blazing energy was dancing around its form, as it gave off a divine prestige that superseded all things. Towards the left side of this spheroid was a hovering sword that was almost 20 inches while to his right was an ancient looking sword manual that floated silently.
Feng Yu looked at the scene within his body with surprise as he spoke, "To think that this space has changed to such a degree as well? Eh? My Aura Pulse is now only one step away from achieving Supreme Tier grade! I wonder what would happen if I truly took that step."
He moved his vision across the sword seed and quietly hovering sword manual and spoke once again, "Hmm, my sword realm is also one step away from true Sword Intent. My only issue here is that I require a stronger class sword technique that can facilitate my soon to rise cultivation base. Since I cannot enter the Dual Sword Pagoda until True Foundation realm, I will have to see which kind can be exchanged at the Ancient Dragon Palace..."
Having inspected these things, Feng Yu then floated towards the vast sea of thunder-flames. Within moments, he arrived at the center of the direct center of this region as he laid his eyes on top of the large box in front of him.
"Pandora's box, right? I want to see whether you can give me the answer I seek. I already have an X Tier fire technique, what I lack is one made for thunder. Maybe, if I can combine my technique with a good enough thunder technique, I will finally be able to walk this new path..." Feng Yu murmured, as he finished his words he moved his hand towards the Pandora's box and sent his half-formed spiritual sense inside of it.
Instantly, a bright light enveloped his entire vision. After a short while, he was brought to the familiar space that was previously filled with endless amounts of multi-colored divine lightning.
However, the scene was different this time around. This space was now a realm of golden-scarlet flames and multi-colored lightning; it was if two ancient wills had together formed a unique entity, or rather, a new will.
Floating at the center of this space was two ancient all-powerful texts on top of a large scroll, this scroll radiated domineering prestige with a hint of sacredness saying - "The Legacy of Nirvana Thunderblaze..."
As Feng Yu saw this, he was stunned once again as he muttered to himself, "This... this changed as well?!" He looked at the hovering scroll before his eyes with a surprise, but soon, his surprise became excitement as he cautiously sent a will towards the box to discover its intent, "Thunderous Will... why did this legacy change?"
The area was silent for a while, but soon, the will of the new bloodline was heard, "There is no longer a thunderous will nor an eternal will, for we are now - the Eternal Ancient Will! As you are now the successor of Supreme Divine Thunder and Nirvanic Sacred Flames, we have taken the liberty of retrofitting it creating the
Feng Yu hearing this became even more excited as he thought to himself, "Nirvana Thunderblaze? Interesting, this saves me a lot of trouble especially in this dangerous situation since I have to power up as fast as I can before a new threat approaches."
While he thought to himself for a moment, his mind couldn't help but wonder for a bit before realizing something. Instantly, his face became pale as he asked, “Wait! If my bloodline has had such drastic changes, then what of my clan?!"
The voice of the Eternal Ancient Will hearing his words once again responded, "We are no longer Phoenix or Dragon, but a new breed... as such, the bloodline of your main clan members will also undergo a significant change..."
"Main clan members? You mean to say..." Feng Yu hearing this was stunned he asked once again but was soon disrupted by a new change.
"Successor of the Nirvana Thunderblaze, accept your new-found destiny..." The voice of the Eternal Ancient Will said.
Immediately following its words, the scroll that was hovering above the sea of 'Thunderblaze' started to glow in a bright golden light.
Swish! It instantly soared through the space traveling to the inside of Feng Yu's body.
A thought soon came to Feng Yu as if it was melded within his soul. Soon, he vanished from the space of Pandora's box and left his sea of consciousness appearing once more in the field of endless thunderblaze that surrounded this region of land.
Feng Yu seeing this spoke once more in a calm tone, "Since they said main clan members, it would be none other than my own Feng Clan. I'll think about the details later now I should begin cultivating this new art..."
As he said this, he started to ponder about the lectures of his old master:
"Cultivation starts with three paths..."
"The mortal, the transcended, and then what exists beyond, the divine..."
"The first is the stage of the body which must be refined to perfection becoming the vessel with which one can condense auras..."
"The second is the stage of aura which one must focus on gathering auras to build their foundations..."
As he recalled up to here, he paused for a bit before a steady light shone in his eyes. He then said in a determined voice, "Since in order for one to advance to the Aura Disciple stage one must first have a body that is capable of containing the most saturated kind of aura. I shall then refine by my body once again with these thunderous flames allowing it to become capable of wielding more Thunderblaze auras..."
With that said, he closed his eyes and willed for the thought from the
"We are the thunder, unhindered by all things including time..."
"We are the flames, that burns through all including the heavens..."
"We are the thunderblaze! Invincible and unparalleled, as we shall exist for all, eternity..."
The moment Feng Yu finished his words, the world around his body began to change.
Fwooosh! As if they were driven insane, the terrifying thunderous flames that blanketed the land for close to a thousand miles started to flow towards his body in large streams. The massive river of thunderous flames threatening to engulf all in its path.
As this power flowed towards Feng Yu's body, they would form a massive dome-like shell around his figure. Soon, the silhouette of Feng Yu was surrounded by a ball of thunderous flames that hovered a few feet from the scorched ground.
His body was now curled into a fetal posture that revolved at a stead
y rate at the center of the ball of thunderous flames.
The continuous streaming energies that flowed towards his figure soon started to revolve around the ball of thunderous flames, creating an odd scene much like that commonly seen of galaxies in the endless void.
After a few moments of time, the body of Feng Yu vanished as if it was burnt away from the universe itself...

A Shocking Change!
Within the Ancient Dragon Battlefield, inside of the Interior Zone. Flying at the limits of the sky was a mansion-like fortress, it soared through the dense misty clouds as it made its way across the vast horizon. If one looked at the horizon's edge, they would notice a strange looking portal that seemed to be connected with the sky itself. It was as if a massive net had enclosed this misty zone leaving its only exit as the portal that rested at the edge of the horizon.
The mansion flew at a steady pace as it calmly traveled towards the distant portal, standing at critical posts of this mansion were a few capable looking individuals each wearing hawk-masks. The gazed around the environment with eyes not different from real 'hawks.'
One of the hawk-masked individuals looked towards the portal and spoke, "Hmm, at this pace it will take us roughly about two to three months to reach the next zone. If that's so, it will probably take another 3 or 4 months to reach the Central Zone."
He then looked towards one of the other hawk-masked men and spoke, "You there! Go and report this news to the Unit Chief, also, let me know that details regarding the surroundings!"
"Understood!" The man replied as he promptly made his way to a command post within the mansion-fortress.
The other hawk-masked man then looked towards a much larger building which had the symbol of phoenix engraved on its surface and spoke in a voice that only he could hear, "I wonder how the main members’ strengths are progressing?"
As he said this, he couldn't help but reveal a pondering expression but soon he was distracted by a sudden change.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Instantly, three individuals soared from misty clouds traveling towards the mansion at full speed. They rode on top of burning disc-like artifacts that formed a small barrier of fire around their figures.
The hawk-masked man seeing these individuals then relaxed his alertness as he commanded, "Let them in, they should be returning from today's 'harvesting'"
Following his words, a barrier that was surrounding the mansion soon after vanished allowing the crimson-masked men to land their flying disk artifacts onto the grounds of a wide courtyard. Upon doing this, they then nodded their heads towards the Hawkeye group and headed directly towards central hall.
The hawk-masked man seeing this nodded his head and spoke, "Un. It looks like today was a great harvest." His words trailing away with the rising wind that blew towards this central hall.
Inside of the Feng Manor central hall, around a central table.
All of the core elders of the family could now be seen seated around the table with serious expressions on their faces, while a few of them were discussing amongst themselves in hushed tones.
"Why is the head calling another emergency meeting? Did they not say we should use the time wisely to recover our previous strengths?" One of the core officials said.
"I have no idea... but, don't you feel kind of different?” Another core official responded in a slightly unusual tone.
"Eh? Different? Now that you mentioned it, I did feel a bit strange earlier today; I feel as if my mind had become sharper and my breath has changed to a certain degree..." The core official replied in a soft tone.
However, a few of the other officials and elders who were not conversing managed to hear their conversation. Soon, one of them looked towards the core official who just spoke and asked, "Is this true? So, I am not the only who've been feeling strange as of late?!"
"I'm also feeling quite different! Strange, do you guys think that today's meeting should be about this issue!" Another core official said.
The other elders and core officials nodded their heads in agreement as they continued to converse with each other, but soon, the door to the hall was opened.
Creak! Step! Step! After the door opened, the footsteps of two individuals were heard as the figures of Feng Junling, and Feng Yunlong soon after appeared walking towards the main seats.
After a moment, they both arrived at their seats and sat down.
"Ahem!" Feng Yunlong coughed and cleared his throat, he looked at the now silent audience before continuing to speak, "I assume you all know why I have called a meeting today..."
The audience of elders and officials looked towards Feng Yunlong and nodded in compliance, as he saw this Feng Yunlong smiled and continued to speak, "Good! Then let me get to the point, as most of you already know there have been some changes occurring within our bodies as of late. These changes are very, uncommon..."
He then paused for a moment and looked towards Feng Junling who nodded after seeing his gaze, seeing this Feng Yunlong then lifted his hand to the audience and gripped his fist slightly.
Bang! A powerful ripple spread out across the room as a towering flaming energy formed around his fist; this flame was strange as the former scarlet flame had changed to a pure scarlet-golden color.
If one looked carefully, they would see a strange spark with this flame, but this spark was a vague almost untraceable and unnoticeable. The surrounding elders seeing this pure scarlet golden flame were stunned as they muttered.
"This... this... half pure sacred fire! How could this be?!" An elder exclaimed.
"What! Isn't this the same level of flames only useable by early awakened True Bloodline Successors?" Another elder question in shock.
"Wait! That's not the only thing that's different! If you carefully observe the energies, you will be able to sense a vague thunderous essence, though it is minute. I am certain that a thunderous essence lays at the core of this half pure, sacred flames." Another official with had a wise appearance said.
Feng Yunlong hearing his words smiled as he responded, "That's correct! It is indeed a small fraction of thunderous essence. This means that not only have we changed with regards to our sacred flames, we may have also undergone an irregular bloodline evolution, one that may be the key to our clan's true rising!"
The clan elders and officials upon hearing Feng Yunlong's words decided to check bloodline flames, quickly they lifted their arms and inspired their bloodline prestige.
Blazzzee! A series of blazing noises soon followed as groups of dazzling scarlet-golden flames rose above their palms illuminating the hall with their brilliance. Majority of the flames were of quarter scarlet-golden standard with only a few approaching half-scarlet-golden which is the base for True Bloodline Successors.
The only difference being the slight thunderous essence that was felt within these flames’ cores.
"Incredible! Isn't this the same as us all being if not comparable, a little bit greater than those 'Quasi-Bloodline Successors' and 'Bloodline Chosens' of our rivals in Sacred Domain."
"Such powerful flames! I feel as if my previous limit at the Second Layer Battle Prestige has now vanished!" An elder said.
Feng Yunlong seeing their reactions felt pleased he then waited for them to calm down before he spoke once again, "Now that you have all seen for yourself the changes! I will move on to the next main topic, as you all know these kinds of changes have never been recorded in the annuals of our Ancestral Phoenix's Clan’s history. Therefore, it can only mean one thing..."
Upon saying this, Feng Yunlong paused for a moment to look at the eyes of each of the elders before speaking again, "It can only mean that Yu'er our True Bloodline Successor, or rather, our previous only True Bloodline Successor had undergone an immense change in complete entirety..."
The elders and core members hearing each drew in a breath of fresh air, while they soon became filled with excitement, but before they could jump for joy, Feng Yunlong interrupted their acti
ons.
"This means, he had either come across a token of good luck! Or, had been forced to evolve due to an unforeseen danger!" As Feng Yunlong said this, the core members and elders became solemn as they knew full well how likely it is for the scenario to be that of the latter.
Feng Yunlong nodded as he saw their change his face became serious as he spoke once more, "We must pick up the speed at which we travel towards the Central Regions, even if it will only allow us to reach a month earlier being exactly about 5 or 6 months rather than 6 and above. All clan's men are to take shifts in channeling their energies into Mansion’s core since we have no more crystals, we must use our own energies to allow for the speed at which we travel to increase."
"As Clan Leader Commands!" The core elders and officials all replied.
"Good You are all dis---" Feng Yunlong seeing this was about to dismiss the meeting but soon, the door the central hall was slammed open.
Slam! The sound of flurried footsteps could be heard as a maid quickly ran into the room her sweat dripping from forehead all the way to her neck as if her life was on the line she frantically ran before the main clan seats and kneeled to the ground before speaking, "Clan leader! The Madam! The Madam is..."
"What!" Feng Junling who was silent for a while yelled in surprise as he heard the word 'Madam,' not bothering to wait for the now shocked maid to explain herself, he vanished from the room like a streak of light that traveled towards another courtyard.
The surrounding elders who saw this became silent as they looked towards the now stunned maid and waited for her to collect her state of emotions. Feng Yunlong seeing this promptly responded, "The meeting is adjourned!"
He then walked towards the maid and tapped her shoulder before saying, "Don't worry, go back and rest!" He then walked outside of the room towards the place Feng Yunlong vanished.
The maid who just now recovered her senses finally bowed and responded, "I... I... yes Clan Leader!"
The officials and members soon after left the room and headed back towards their own courtyards while a few higher tier members went to draft a schedule for the shifts the members will take when empowering the mansions core.
