Spirit Vessel

They were all unfamiliar and not from Crimson Territory. The leader was a youth with fair skin and an intimidating aura. Heavenly momentum and an earth vein followed him.

You Zilin and Mo Hen stopped and leaped apart while staring at this uninvited youth. They were strong enough and sensed considerable pressure.

“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Fang Tongdao, the sixth prince of West Spirit, here to visit the princess of Crimson.” He had a fox fur coat wrapped around his neck, looking as noble as can be.

“The sixth prince of West Spirit?” Those from Crimson became unfriendly after hearing his name.

West Spirit was considered one of the heavy contenders for the promotion.

Though they came with potential malice, the guy was still a prince. The ones here couldn’t shout at him.

“We have two princesses here, who are you trying to meet, Prince?” Mo Hen snorted.

“Two princesses, I see. Both of them together then.” Fang Tongdao smiled.

Feiyun frowned. The first princess was talking with Elder Lin right now so she was busy.

You Ziling also knew this and said: “The first princess has important matters today and can’t meet you, Sixth Prince.”

“Seventh Princess is also busy. She isn’t here right now so please come back later.” Ninth of the Gu said.

Fang Tongdao’s smile disappeared.

“Such impudence!” A girl with crimson hair shouted and unsheathed her sword, pointing it forward.

“Whoosh!” Her slender figure contained considerable power. Just the sword intent alone sent one genius flying.

“How dare you injure someone!?” You Zilin summoned his sword and released sword energies.

The two of them fought in the air with sharp waves shooting everywhere.

“Hmph, didn’t think Crimson has someone like you.” The girl raised a sword that was twice as tall as her, slashing it straight down.

“Boom!” He was forced back by her tiger-like strength and became startled.

“Trigram Seal!” He summoned his tenth-ranked spirit treasure. A trigram appeared above him with a blinding radiance.

She also summoned a tenth-ranked spirit treasure - a hammer as large as the gate of a palace with violet lightning bolts.

“Boom!” Weaker cultivators were sent flying and vomited blood. Cracks appeared on the ground.

You Zilin and Mo Hen held back when fighting each other. This wasn’t the case now.

The two combatants were true experts and had incredible destructive potential. Innocent bystanders could be hurt.

“First Princess, I am here for a visit, haha.” Fang Tongdao started walking towards the first princess’ palace.

“Stop, this is Crimson’s residence, you are intruding!” Ninth and Young Master Yu blocked the way.

A man with eyes where his brows should be walked up from behind Fang Tongyao. The four eyes issued golden rays.

He towered at five meters tall with legs as thick as an elephant’s. Metal plates were tied to his arms. His muscles bulged, seemingly made of gold.

“How dare you stand before the prince, die!” The man punched with his steel-like fist, sending the duo flying along with more than ten geniuses from the immemorial clans.

The sixth prince clearly came to cause trouble. He brought only top geniuses from the young generation.

“Seems like we are unwelcomed but we must still pay our respect to the princess.” Fang Tongdao smiled, completely nonchalant at the battles ensuing around him.

He strolled towards the palace without a care.

“Bam!” The man walked to his left, sending everyone flying with a single punch.

“Hmph, don’t look down on Crimson!” Mo Hen became resplendent and thrust his spear forward. Spirit energy in the area flowed toward him.

The spear managed to contend against the man. The blast sent people flying again.

“How audacious, but not bad at all!” The man shouted.

He punched and released a mountain of golden energy, causing people to run away.

“You’re going down!” Mo Hen activated his black domain and fought evenly against his foe.

He was a top genius in Crimson. Although he wasn’t on the same side as the first princess, he put down this feud to unite against external forces.

Fang Tongdao had other experts with him outside of the crimson-haired girl and four-eyed man.

One youth had white hair; his weapon of choice was a golden wheel. He wore a string of beads on his neck, looking both like a Buddhist. The beads were large, a total of thirty-six beads wrapping around his neck twice.

“Boom!” He waved his hand and released a gray miasma, defeating twenty geniuses in one go.

“Sixth Prince, go ahead and mee the princess. Leave this to me.” Ouyang Wudao showed his confidence, defeating other youths as if they were ants.

This became a chaotic battlefield with techniques ravaging the palace.

The seniors from Crimson naturally took note of this.

“The young generation of West Spirit is quite capable, they should be able to reach the earth level.” One of them frowned.

“That crimson-haired girl with the large sword is from Five-sword Grotto. She’s at the sixth level now and will be quite something once she’s at Heaven’s Emergence.”

“The four-eyed man was purchased by their territory lord from Ninth-Central seventy years ago. Such impressive battle prowess.”

“That Ouyang Wudao is just as brilliant. He has two masters, King Chujiang of the Yin World and a high monk from an immemorial temple, he’s trying to reach the seventh level.”

“He’s the strongest in West Spirit and has killed several Heaven’s Emergence paragons before.”

“Is the prince trying to test our strength?”

A gray-haired old man shook his head and said: “Ouyang Wudao is too strong, even our two princesses together can’t beat him. Should we…”

“No, we can’t be involved. Sixth Prince only brought young cultivators so if we make a move, it’ll be disgraceful. This is not Crimson, we must act with prudence.”

They found this both frustrating and startling.

Sixth-level Nirvana cultivators were rare. Each territory should only have one or two. Crimson had several, hence the desire to become an earth-level territory.

West Spirit was just as prosperous with several of them. They felt immense pressure from this rival.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Wudao was still dominating, rushing forward like a chariot. No one could even get close to him.

“You people from Crimson are too disrespectful. Our prince is here to visit your two princesses yet you dare to refuse him at the gate? If we don’t teach you a lesson today, our prince’s reputation will be besmirched.” Ouyang Wudao declared.

“First Princess, I am here to see you.” Fang Tongdao continued his stroll with a smile.

“Our princess is busy. If we insist on causing trouble, we’ll take you on!” Another ten cultivators attacked in unison.

“Die then.” Ouyang Wudao released a palm strike and sent them flying into a building. It collapsed and buried the ten.

“I’ll stop him.” You Ziling activated her energy. A magical lantern flew out of her forehead.

“Let me.” Feng Feiyun was calm from start to finish. The princess was busy talking with Elder Lin right now so he couldn’t let them interfere.

She knew that he was strong so she grabbed her lantern and then said: “He cultivates both Buddhism and the evil dao, be careful.”

Feiyun nodded with a smile, looking elegant in his white robe.

He walked forward and looked at the chaotic battlefield. He focused on the geniuses from West Spirit then closed his eyes. He raised his palm and chanted: “Cosmic Seal.”

Buddhist energy flowed into his palm. Everyone suddenly felt a massive power gathering. It was as if the sky was falling down.

Sure enough, a great seal appeared above them.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” This sent everyone from West Spirit flying.

The crimson-haired girl, four-eyed man, Ouyang Wudao, and the sixth prince were relatively better, only being sent flying and feeling their blood churning by the unstoppable power.

Their friends, on the other hand, vomited blood and couldn’t get up from the ground.

“Enough.” Feiyun still posed with his palm raised. He glanced at them and then slowly put his hand down to say: “The first princess is indeed busy today and cannot see you, Sixth Prince. We will visit your palace another day… to apologize.”
