"What's going on?"
It would be impossible for Feng Bingwen not to be bewildered at this moment.
A qilin led the way, a sleeping dragon circled around, countless mountains and valleys, and auspicious birds and beasts abounded. With so much buildup, what did he get upon arriving at his destination?
A dilapidated thatched hut whose age is unknown, a few oddly shaped rocks, a half-withered gourd vine, and a purple-robed boy sitting cross-legged on the rock, smiling at him.
There's nothing unusual about it!
"Could it be that I, with my mortal eyes, cannot perceive the mysteries of this place?"
Feng Bingwen frowned deeply. He certainly didn't believe that the summit of this sacred mountain was truly as simple as it appeared before him.
Just look at the surrounding environment and you'll know. Clouds and mist swirl around, pure air rises, and auspicious energy abounds. It is a sacred mountain at the core of this world, and its summit could never look like this. It resembles the dwelling of an old farmer in the mountains.
The most likely explanation is that his eyesight is insufficient, and he cannot perceive the wonders of this place. It's like an ordinary person not being able to see the ghostly spirits wandering in the mountains and fields.
As he pondered, Feng Bingwen strode toward the thatched hut. Just as he was about to step inside, the heavens and earth trembled, the wind rose and the clouds surged, and a laugh fell from the sky.
"Hahaha, second brother, stop hiding, this kid really can't see you!"
Hearing the sound coming from above, Feng Bingwen did not look up. Instead, he took a step back several feet and suddenly turned his head to look at a rocky cliff diagonally above.
A handsome young man in blue robes, seemingly formed from the pure energy of heaven and earth, leaned against a rocky outcrop, looking languidly up and down as if he had seen something new and exciting.
Upon seeing this seemingly harmless boy, Feng Bingwen immediately felt a chill rise from his tailbone, and his previously clouded senses began to frantically warn him.
He didn't notice the young man in blue. To be precise, the young man was already sitting on the rock when he reached the top of the mountain, watching his every move.
Feng Bingwen saw his presence, but ignored it, treating him like an ordinary stone. If he hadn't deliberately concealed himself, Feng Bingwen felt he wouldn't have been able to detect the other's presence even now.
It's terrifying!
This is how Feng Bingwen felt at this moment. He clearly saw him, but ignored him. If this young man had murderous intent towards him, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
"Kid, you really can't see me?"
The young man in blue robes had a languid demeanor, but Feng Bingwen noticed the surprise and confusion in his eyes; he was earnestly asking him a question.
"..."
Feng Bingwen pursed his lips but did not answer.
Because all he could see now was the boy, and he noticed something on the rocky cliff that was different from the ordinary things around him.
That was all. He saw it, but he couldn't feel it. In his perception, the boy was as if he didn't exist, seemingly just a mirage that could speak.
"Do you even need to ask? Just look at this kid's expression, he didn't even notice you!"
At this moment, the being that had just laughed descended from the sky, stood in another position, and scrutinized Feng Bingwen from head to toe with a critical gaze.
Compared to the seemingly non-existent scrutiny of the young man in blue, this gaze brought Feng Bingwen a completely different feeling: divine might as a prison, holy might as the sea.
This was an unbearable gaze, causing Feng Bingwen's senses to frantically warn him, and he involuntarily felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Big brother, tone it down a bit. This kid hasn't even started cultivating yet. If you keep staring at him like that, he's going to explode."
The young man in blue had no choice but to speak, his words tinged with helplessness.
"I've already been very restrained!"
The being that had just been laughing, making the whole world respond, now sounded quite helpless.
Although that's what he said, in the next instant, Feng Bingwen also clearly felt that the pressure that was about to crush him had lessened considerably. Only then could he turn his head to look at the figure falling from the sky.
Feng Bingwen didn't not want to look, but he couldn't. He had a feeling that if he dared to turn his head and meet his gaze, he would either lose his eyesight or die on the spot.
It was a golden figure shrouded in immortal divine light. He simply stood there, yet he naturally exuded an unparalleled aura, as if he wanted to trample this entire world under his feet, and all things in the world would have to respect him.
Compared to the young man in blue robes reclining on the mountain rock, this golden figure was the complete opposite.
Undoubtedly, this was an extraordinary being. His strength far exceeded Feng Bingwen's imagination. He was so powerful that he didn't even need to lift a finger; his mere gaze could obliterate everything.
Feng Bingwen felt that he was no weakling. Although he had not yet embarked on cultivation, thanks to that dragon ball, his current combat power was enough to suppress those so-called thousand-year-old demons and hundred-year-old ghosts—provided that they had no background or connections.
Even so, he was as fragile as a mayfly in front of this being, who even had to deliberately restrain his gaze in order not to hurt him.
"Second brother, it's not that I doubt your innate Bagua, but are you really sure that this acquired being is the most suitable protector for Xiao Wu?"
Feng Bingwen dared not speak at this moment. He could only stand there and watch the scene before him, watching the majestic and domineering golden figure complain to the young man in blue in a rather casual tone.
Protectors!
Feng Bingwen noticed the key point, but did not act rashly. Instead, he waited patiently. If things went as expected, his chance to become an immortal was about to arrive.
"You've all seen what this kid has done, haven't you? I have nothing more to say."
The young man in blue waved his hand, looking utterly devastated, as if he had suffered a major setback.
you?
Feng Bingwen noticed the key point again: this blessed land contained far more than just two terrifying beings; there were many more. Just as this thought crossed his mind, he heard another burst of laughter.
"Haha, second brother, did you know we're incredibly bored every day, so you specially pulled this stunt to amuse us? I must say, you were very successful."
His tone remained relaxed and carefree, but with each word, full of laughter, came an aura of supreme power that shook the heavens and the netherworld, demanding that all things in the world submit to him.
"sun!"
As Feng Bingwen sensed the point of that terrifying aura's eruption, he unconsciously looked up and widened his eyes. He saw a scorching wave of solar corona rising from the sun overhead, and then, a divine chariot, dragged by two dragon-like or snake-like scorching sun essences, burst out of the solar corona tide and fell towards the top of the divine mountain.
The sun has fallen!
This was Feng Bingwen's most direct feeling at this moment. His face showed uncontrollable fear. Although the being that descended from the sky on a double dragon chariot had no ill intentions towards him, just the moment it got close, the scorching heat made Feng Bingwen feel as if he was about to be evaporated.
This is not an illusion.
"Third brother, don't be ridiculous! The protector that second brother found for fifth sister can't withstand your antics!"
Silently, the scorching heat that seemed to evaporate him vanished completely, replaced by a cool sensation that made his body and mind relax.
Feng Bingwen turned around and saw a goddess who had appeared beside him at some point. Her otherworldly beauty made his thoughts pause slightly.
His perspective is now far beyond that of ordinary people. He has seen all kinds of women, from the naturally alluring fox spirit to the enchanting snake spirit, and even the dragon spirit that surpasses the nobility of mortal kings and nobles.
Ordinary beauties would no longer stir Feng Bingwen's heart, but this goddess before him was different. Her beauty was in harmony with the Dao, and the more one looked at her, the more intoxicated one became.
She had a slender figure, jet-black hair, and eyes like stars, exuding inner beauty. Every inch of her body, as smooth as mutton fat jade, radiated divine brilliance and shimmered with color. Her magnificent palace attire, unlike anything found in the mortal world, trailed on the ground as she walked gracefully.
Clang~
At that moment, a clear and melodious sword cry, like a dragon's roar, resounded in my heart, accompanied by a Daoist shout as powerful as a great bell.
"You lecherous scoundrel, don't get carried away, wake up at once!"
Feng Bingwen was immediately jolted awake. He quickly looked away from the goddess, lowered his head, and stared at his feet, no longer daring to look around.
No matter what enchanting spells the goddess cast upon him, she attracted him solely with her natural, ethereal beauty, which captivated him and nearly made him fall into a daze.
"How could this be? Second Brother has been calculating for Fifth Sister for a long time, and now he has finally found a satisfactory protector. How could he be so incompetent? He can't even withstand the essence of the blazing sun that is dissipating from my carriage."
At this moment, Feng Bingwen heard a response from above. Upon hearing the voice, a burning sensation rose in his heart. Without a doubt, it was the supreme being who was traveling in a divine chariot, an existence that could not be looked at directly.
"Are you all here to laugh at Second Brother?"
Like a warm spring breeze blowing in his face, the sound he heard made Feng Bingwen, who had learned his lesson and was no longer looking at anything but at his feet, feel a tingling, limp feeling all over his body, and he even felt like he didn't want to move.
There was still no malice intended; however, this voice contained a vigorous vitality that could make all things flourish. Even ordinary mortals who heard it might gain some benefits, such as longevity.
But Feng Bingwen felt terrified at this moment. Putting aside the young man in blue robes whose presence he could not sense at all, the beings that appeared now were more terrifying than the last.
A single glance could kill him on the spot; there was no need for deliberate targeting, even the aftershocks of his journey could endanger his life.
