Chapter 499 Fair Exchange



"Fellow Daoist Feng!"

Hearing Feng Bingwen's murderous words, Xia Yan, who thought his own thoughts were already crazy enough, was shocked. He never expected that this disciple of the Supreme Dao who had stepped into the abyss would want to kill all the demons in the abyss.

This is an ancient battlefield, where the number of corpses accumulated is probably in the hundreds of millions; otherwise, it would not be possible to generate such a terrifying bloodthirsty aura.

How could a mere human immortal possibly wipe out all the ghosts and evil creatures spawned in an ancient battlefield of this scale? It's simply impossible.

"how?"

Feng Bingwen had a smile on his face, but looking at his handsome face, Xia Yan felt a little ashamed. Compared with the idea of ​​slaying all the ghosts and demons in the abyss, the idea of ​​relying on the ancient sages of the human race was far less ambitious.

"Although you possess remarkable supernatural abilities, I'm afraid you are not capable of annihilating the entire Abyss! Please consider this carefully."

At this moment, Xia Yan, just like the friends he had made, advised the young disciple of the Supreme Being before him.

His choice was already a matter of life and death, and although it was somewhat ridiculous, there was still a glimmer of hope. After all, he came down to seek a method of sealing, not to fight monsters and demons. If he deliberately avoided it, he might be able to return to the surface.

But the actions of this fellow Daoist are beyond description; they are a path to certain death, a death sentence.

"This is a decision I made long ago, Fellow Daoist Xia, there's no need to persuade me any further."

Although the rugged Taoist in front of him was considering his best interests, Feng Bingwen wouldn't listen. This was feedback and guidance he had obtained from the Heavenly Book at great cost.

"I...sigh!"

Xia Yan opened her mouth as if to say something, but after pausing for a moment, she could only sigh helplessly.

He dared to step into the abyss and put himself in a life-or-death situation, but that didn't mean he didn't want to live. Although the disciples of the Supreme Dao spoke very boldly, his emotions were not so easily stirred up. With his cultivation level, if he really went along and pursued the goal of killing all the demons, he probably wouldn't have a chance to return to the surface.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, there is no need to worry. This is the path I have chosen. You do not need to walk with me!"

Feng Bingwen could naturally discern the thoughts in the mind of the cultivator before him.

Being willing to take risks is one thing, but being willing to risk one's life is another.

Being willing to help ordinary people is different from being willing to give one's life for the common people.

"Fellow Daoist Feng!"

Seeing Feng Bingwen put away his Dharma image and turn to leave, Xia Yan's face turned pale and then red, and she suddenly spoke up.

"Um?"

Feng Bingwen looked at the Taoist priest in front of him with some doubt. He had already stated the purpose of his trip. Could this guy really be planning to follow him?

"As Fellow Daoist Feng has seen, my swordsmanship is clumsy and hardly worthy of serious attention. However, I am skilled in a sword-escape technique that allows me to appear and disappear without a trace, which is quite exquisite. I am probably not of much help in fighting demons, but I am willing to stand guard for Fellow Daoist Feng!"

"That won't be necessary!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen chuckled and shook his head in refusal. He hadn't realized that this fellow Daoist had such a strong sense of pride. However, he decided against following along, as that scraping sword technique was truly useless.

"If you are truly interested, fellow Daoist, you might as well search for the traces of the demons that have been transformed from the remains of these descendants. If you find any that are alone, please let me know!"

"If it's just a matter of investigation, it's nothing more than a piece of cake for me. I certainly won't let Fellow Daoist Feng down!"

Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's request, Xia Yan immediately patted her chest and agreed. Simply locating these demons, who could wreak havoc and poison the land once they were born, was somewhat risky, but...

It's basically bearable.

"Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist!"

"I dare not, it is my duty!"

Xia Yan saw Feng Bingwen thanking her, but she repeatedly declined, unwilling to accept his thanks.

"But if I discover it, how should I communicate with you, fellow Daoist?"

Immediately, Xia Yan raised a concern: the environment of this ancient battlefield was too unique. With his divine sense, once he went beyond a thousand feet in circumference, he could not continue and could not explore it further.

"This is not difficult!"

For ordinary cultivators, communicating with familiar fellow cultivators in this place is an extremely troublesome matter, but for Feng Bingwen, it is very simple.

After all, he was carrying a spiritual artifact; how could mere bloodlust possibly stop a divine artifact of the highest rank?

The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel is positioned as a jack-of-all-trades; it can hold its own in any situation, and because of its high enough grade, it will always have a good effect.

Combat, escape, and fighting are all within their capabilities; they can even perform divination. At this moment, it's no surprise that Feng Bingwen uses it as a platform for communication and contact with other cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a look!"

As he spoke, Feng Bingwen drew out a wisp of immortal artifact energy from the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel, and then channeled the immortal power within his body to condense it into a jade pendant that shone with five-colored luster.

"As long as you possess this item and find a powerful enough demon to destroy, I can arrive at your location in an instant."

"I see!"

Xia Yan took the five-colored immortal pendant handed to her by Feng Bingwen. After sensing the faint yet powerful aura contained within it, her soul trembled slightly. She glanced thoughtfully at Feng Bingwen and then nodded slightly.

He seemed to underestimate this immortal from the Supreme Dao. He entered the abyss to try his luck, hoping to find a solution left by his predecessors, while this immortal came down declaring that he would wipe out all demons and evil spirits.

This is not arrogance, nor is it ignorance; rather, it reflects the confidence the other party has in doing so. Within this immortal's body, there is likely a powerful immortal artifact of unparalleled might.

Even just sensing this wisp of energy made him tremble involuntarily. He feared that if this immortal were to unleash the immortal artifact he possessed, both he and the giant serpent he had just fought would shatter upon contact, without any surprise.

"In that case, I'll take my leave!"

Realizing that Feng Bingwen had come prepared, rather than acting impulsively, Xia Yan felt much more at ease. If they could wipe out all the evil spirits spawned in this ancient battlefield, then there would be no need to search for the unknown existence of the predecessors' backup plans.

Moreover, if they think about it carefully, the appearance of this Supreme Dao Immortal here at this time is probably not a coincidence, but rather a deliberate act.

Some even receive supreme immortal artifacts from the immortal lords of the Supreme Dao for protection—aren't all the true disciples from major sects treated this way? Whenever they go out to train, who doesn't have three or five items that are enough to save their lives and turn the tide at crucial moments?

However, if they are sent out by their teachers to handle matters that are not in line with their current level of cultivation, there will surely be a way to resolve them.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Yan became even more excited. This Fellow Daoist Feng in front of her was undoubtedly sent here by a powerful figure from the Supreme Dao, which meant that the Supreme Dao had already noticed the changes in this place.

Since what this fellow Daoist Feng said about sweeping this place clean and exterminating all the evil spirits was not a joke, but rather an arrangement made by a powerful being of the Supreme Dao.

"What a kind-hearted monk!"

Seeing the Taoist priest, full of fighting spirit, heading off to find suitable prey, Feng Bingwen couldn't help but admire him as he watched his retreating figure. In today's cultivation world, there are truly few cultivators like him.

"This guy's character is indeed good, but he's not suited to be a cultivator seeking the Dao. He's more suited to practicing martial arts and hanging out with those barbarians!"

The ancient voice of the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel resounded from Feng Bingwen.

Why?

"The path to immortality values ​​life. To venture into dangerous places for matters unrelated to the path of cultivation without sufficient certainty is the act of a reckless fool!"

"There are more brutes, that's a good thing!"

Feng Bingwen smiled nonchalantly, then closed his eyes slightly, sensing the changes occurring in his body.

From the moment his Dharma form took shape, it possessed the characteristic of devouring external objects, and the source of all this was his pulse, the Chaos Egg!

His divine form was able to emerge by devouring the fortune and spiritual energy of one defeated opponent after another. Now, he wants to open up a blessed land, so he naturally needs to accumulate more resources. The path is clear.

Even the targets they had accumulated were selected through the Heavenly Book: a group of evil spirits and ghosts with bloodlines that lingered in the sealed ancient battlefield!

For Feng Bingwen, is there any resource that is easier to acquire than these things?

Those who still live in this world today, and whoever has bloodline, are all prominent figures, with remarkable origins.

If he were to kill three thousand people, who knows how much karma he would incur? Before he could even advance in his cultivation, he would likely perish. The Supreme Dao's background is indeed powerful enough, but not powerful enough for him to act recklessly and wantonly.

However, these corpses that have re-emerged with chaotic will are different. Even in the eyes of the descendants who still exist today, the existence of such demons is a desecration to them. Feng Bingwen killing them is pointless, and those descendants should thank him.

This is simply the most perfect resource, except that Feng Bingwen has to fetch it himself, which is a bit troublesome. Otherwise, it is impeccable.

"Your Dharma image is truly malevolent!"

As Feng Bingwen's consciousness immersed itself in the changes occurring within his body, a hazy, divine figure materialized behind him, exuding a vast and profound aura.

But at this moment, a new change occurred in this strange phenomenon. Behind the deity, a chaotic egg that had split open appeared, accompanied by an angry and unwilling hiss, and a large serpent with tattered scales suddenly appeared.

Even after falling into Feng Bingwen's vision, the giant serpent remained as ferocious as ever, roaring as if it wanted to fight the gods again. However, compared to the gods manifesting in the vision at this moment, the giant serpent was so insignificant.

This deity was too lazy to make any big movements. He simply reached out and gently grabbed it, and in the middle of his hand, he held this giant snake, which in reality would be thousands of feet long and its body would resemble a continuous mountain range.

This giant serpent, which was merely absorbing vital energy, was thrown into the cracked Chaos Egg. It then howled amidst the chaotic light emanating from the egg, and finally gradually vanished, becoming part of the Chaos Egg.

"What I'm doing is a perfectly legitimate and righteous method, how could it be considered evil?"

Hearing the complaints from the immortal artifact within his body, Feng Bingwen retorted dismissively.

He was imitating the divine being in the Chaos Sea, who created the world. Although his ambition was much smaller, his intention was many times grander than that of other immortals.

"Huh, so fast?"

"What's wrong? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Yan has found another great demon?"

"I don't know, but my energy has definitely been affected. Should I take you there?"

What are you waiting for?

Five-colored immortal light suddenly erupted from Feng Bingwen's body, like the Imperial Void Cauldron, teleporting an immortal like Feng Bingwen across continents. The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel could not do this, but it had no problem teleporting within a small secret realm.

roar!

As Feng Bingwen stepped out of the void, he was greeted by a gust of bloody wind that made him slightly dizzy, and a series of crimson figures flying towards him.

"Fellow Daoist Yan!"

Feng Bingwen did not dodge. The Five Directions and Five Elements Supreme Profound Divine Light swept out from behind him, revealing the somewhat disheveled figure, and then looked at him with concern.

In such a short time, they've found him a target; such a useful tool shouldn't be wasted. I wonder how much time and energy it will save him.

Are you alright?

"fine!"

Xia Yan, whose face was pale and ashen, coughed a few times. After recovering, a rosy glow returned to her face.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry about me. Quickly deal with this demon. Its bloodline is extraordinary and should be of some use to you!"

Xia Yan wasn't blind either. He hadn't missed the process of Feng Bingwen devouring the remains of the celestial serpent with his Dharma form. Although he didn't understand exactly what was going on, he could roughly guess what was happening.

Although there were still some unclear points, it didn't matter. All he needed to know was that this Supreme Dao Immortal's goal was to kill all the great demons in the abyss. As for how much benefit this immortal could gain from it, what did that have to do with him?

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen stood up and looked at the demon that had hesitated because of his appearance. It was a giant corpse with a shriveled and stiff body.

With a human body and a dragon's head, and tattered, dark scales, this corpse silently testifies to a glorious past and a noble status.

However, no matter how noble his status or how dazzling his bloodline, it had all been tainted at this moment. In Feng Bingwen's eyes, its only value was to be transformed into resources for him to step into a higher realm.

In return, he will grant these corpses eternal peace—a perfectly fair exchange!
