Chapter 323 - 323 Feng Xia, You Died So Tragically
He gritted his teeth and turned to look at the woman again, while speaking slowly.
“There must be some mistake in this matter. Master showed me the images. That person is a burly man. Even his weapon is two maces. How can that be the number one goddess in the world?”
It could not be that everyone’s aesthetic standards were distorted during Patriarch Chenhaii’s era, right?
That kind of thing was too ridiculous.
“Mace?”
The woman pursed her lips. She raised her hand and drew a line in the air, condensing an image. “Are these the maces you’re talking about?”
Feng Xia looked over instinctively. At this moment, the image showed two thick and long metal rod-like weapons. One end was thick and the other end was thin, and engraved with countless array patterns. The thicker end had sharp spikes with inverted grooves on them. It did not take a genius to know that once one was hit by such a weapon, open flesh wounds would only be considered a minor injury!
“That’s right, it’s these two maces!”
After examining the image again and again, Feng Xia slowly nodded.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the woman pursed her lips and sneered in disdain. “Rubbish, these are not maces. These two are simply Wu Guan’s hairpins!”
Feng Xia: “…?”
Hairpin?
These two maces that were thicker than human thighs were actually hairpins that humans used?!
If that was the case…
How big was the head of this world’s number one goddess?
What a headache… What a big headache!
“Are you stupid? These two hairpins are both Deity Realm magic weapons. After being refined with Wu Guan’s blood, sweat and tears, they can transform into flying swords to kill enemies from afar and slash people’s souls from a thousand miles away. They can also change their forms to resist powerful enemies at close range. What’s so strange about them being able to turn big or small at will?”
Seeing Feng Xia’s reaction, the woman immediately revealed a look of concern that one reserved for imbeciles.
“… Oh, right.”
Feng Xia immediately slapped his forehead and twisted out of his habitual thinking. “Even some Primal Core magic weapons can change their size at will. If it’s a Deity Realm magic weapon, then it really can’t be judged with conventional standards…”
“But something’s still not right. Master said that Wu Guan is a rough man, but you say that Wu Guan is the number one goddess in the world. Is there something lost in translation?”
Feng Xia rubbed his temples as he felt a headache coming on. For a moment, he thought of more things.
For example, he realized a very critical problem.
“Since you say that she’s the number one goddess in the world, why can’t I find any traces of her existence in the dream realm?”
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a person to appear out of nowhere.
Based on the various clues, the “useless” 16th Prince in the dream was very likely Patriarch Chenhai. In real history, Lingyun Kingdom was destroyed overnight because of the appearance of the mastermind. The 16th Prince was lucky not to meet his death. Coupled with various coincidences, he embarked on a unique path of soul cultivation.
In other words…
If Wu Guan was so famous, by right, that person should have appeared in the dream.
However, no matter how hard Feng Xia racked his brains, he could not find any traces of the person’s existence.
Simply put, this did not make sense!
“He can’t have appeared out of thin air, right?”
“But she really appeared out of thin air.”
Feng Xia raised his question, but in the next second, the woman shrugged and confirmed this impossible guess. “Wu Guan was born from the moon after Lingyun Kingdom was destroyed. In a sense, she is actually the Moon Goddess.”
At this point, the woman suddenly waved her hands. Soul power fluctuated and a screen condensed in front of her.
“This jade laurel screen is a legacy treasure from the Lingyun palace. When Goddess Wu Guan was born, countless phenomena appeared in the world. Coincidentally, this screen faced the moon and imprinted that scene completely.”
Swoosh—
Amidst the surging divine light, a figure jumped onto the screen. She was beautiful and outstanding, wearing a white dress with her back facing the screen. Her body seemed a little illusory.
Even then, that figure seemed elegant and noble and had a cold expression. Feng Xia was also able to sense an indescribable divine aura, like she was an otherworldly immortal that people would not even dare to look from afar. It seemed as if a single glance would cause one’s heart to be filled with a sense of inferiority.
“How do you think she got the name ‘Wu Guan’? It means don’t look!”
The Heavenly Stairway spirit crossed her arms in front of her chest and smiled calmly. “After so many years, she’s still so pretty!”
Feng Xia took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Yes, this was a fantasy world. Anything could happen. To be conflicted about whether things made sense or not in such a place… he would only lose thoroughly.
Suddenly, his face trembled slightly. His gaze landed on the woman beside him and he said with a strange expression.
“So the question is… why are you wearing Wu Guan’s clothes?”
“I just have nothing to do. I’m trapped here and can’t get out. Can’t I change my clothes every day?” As she spoke, the woman sat down again, her head turning around as if she was looking for something in all directions.
Before Feng Xia could speak, she suddenly burst out laughing.
“Feng Xia, you died so tragically!”
“Huh?”
At this moment, Feng Xia had an inexplicable thought.
In the last years before Patriarch Chenhaii was suppressed, he did not have with him the extremely powerful secret treasure, the Heavenly Stairway. Could it be that this artifact spirit… was too crazy?
If Patriarch Chenhai had been prepared to fight Wu Guan to the death, he would not have brought this crazy artifact spirit with him.
—Otherwise, what if the weapon in my hand betrays me before the battle even begins, and the reason for the betrayal is because it wants to woo the enemy… That would really be a big joke that would make me laugh for 10,000 years!
At this point, Feng Xia rolled his eyes and asked, “What do you mean I died tragically?”
The woman raised her hand and pointed at the void. The smile on her face became more and more intense. “It’s completely literal. Over the years, I’ve entered the dream so many times that I can’t distinguish between dream and reality. So when I saw you just now, I even thought that I was still dreaming.”
“And then?”
“It was only after you spoke that I realized you’re actually a person in reality. So I’m going back to look at your previous experiences. Tsk, tsk, tsk… How many times have you died? Moreover, the way you died each time was different. It can be said that it’s a miracle that you haven’t collapsed yet. I’m willing to recognize you as the strongest expert!”
Feng Xia: “…”
At this moment, he was even more certain of one thing.
This weapon spirit of the Heavenly Stairway was indeed a complete lunatic!
…
