Chapter 848: Battle Palace

Feng Wanxia came out of the alliance and called for a beast carriage. She handed one spirit stone over and told it to go towards the battle palace.

“Motherf.u.c.ker, how did you get on?” Feiyun shouted after seeing a certain someone.

“Who is your mother?” Grandpa Yu got on the carriage before these two. He was hiding in a corner with his hands covered by the sleeves. He sincerely asked once more.

Feiyun got tired of the old man and ignored him. He sat down with Feng Wanxia and began talking about the battle palace.

“The battle palace has many locations across Sixth Central. There are more than 700 in Season alone. Of course, the one in this city is where the experts gather. Many ancestors would come to test their might.”

“Its background is frightening, I think a n.o.ble faction is behind it so no one dares to cause trouble.”

She went on: “Fighting there will help one with battle experience on top of winning spirit stones. Many geniuses became renowned for fighting there and were recruited by the top powers with the promise of cultivation methods, spirit stones, treasures, beauties, slaves, and land.”

“It’s actually not that dangerous, the regular battles. The combatants have to stop after a victor is declared but this isn’t the case for the realm of death. If someone is killed there, revenge is forbidden. If any seniors of the victims dare to come, or the experts from the battle palace will kill them. This is a rule there.”

“I see.” Feiyun chuckled.

The carriage quickly stopped in front of the battle palace. It was grander than the half-demon alliance, virtually not on the same architectural level.

The gate was made from spirit stones; the walls were made from seven layers of black steel. The paths were paved with white jade. The whole place exuded extravagance.

Many cultivators were present. Geniuses rode spirit cranes with beauties as their companions. A few transcending old men flew in the air with immense pressure; their gaze resembled two sword rays piercing the heart.

The entrance fee was ten spirit stones. Thus, ordinary people couldn’t enter.

Feiyun paid thirty stones and all three ran towards the realm of death.

“There are ten realms of death in a palace, all created from low-level realms. Inside are reflection mirrors allowing us to see the fights while standing outside.” Feng Wanxia was anxious out of fear for Meng Taiyue and Li Lang’s safety.

When the three got there, they found the place crowded with the half-demons who got here first. The latter nodded their head after seeing the three.

“Brother Li, Brother Meng…” Feng Wanxia took out a jade bottle and poured two third-ranked spirit pills from it. They were precious healing pills.

Meng Taiyue and Li Lang were grievously injured, paled, and bloodied from top to bottom. The wounds were closed because someone had helped them previously. However, it was only to close the wounds.

Meng Taiyue kept his eyes closed, completely dejected. He shook his head and smiled wryly: “Wanxia, don’t waste the pills on us. We’re crippled already.”

Having the dantian destroyed was worse than death for someone who had cultivated for centuries.

Wanxia wiped her tears and continued to get them to eat the pills.

“Let me take a look.” Feiyun grabbed Taiyue’s hand and sent a strand of golden Buddhist light through his fingertip.

The energy channeled throughout the injured cultivator’s body.

“It’s of no use, Brother Feng.” Meng Taiyue said.

Meanwhile, the other half-demons stared curiously. They knew that Feiyun was a first-generation half-demon and might have a few heaven-defying abilities.

Even the crying Wanxia stopped and watched with her eyes wide open.

Feiyun eventually pulled his hand back and smiled: “It’s only the top dantian, still curable.”

Meng Taiyue was startled. Though the top dantian was the first one, it was still an important location for spirit energy. The destruction of this place meant the end of cultivation.

Brother Feng doesn’t seem to be kidding. Maybe he wants to use some legendary pills to save me?

“I’ve lived a wretched life and haven’t long for this world, Brother Feng, don’t use anything precious to save me, I can’t accept this kindness.” He said with determination.

“Haha, others might lack precious pills but not me, I can give you a full plate of them.” Feiyun hid his hand inside his sleeve and gathered energy to create a Buddhist pill the size of a longan fruit.

He took it out and held it with two fingers, revealing its golden glow. It had a layer of golden radiance and one could hear Buddhist chants.

He had learned the entire second diagram of the scripture so his energy reached the next level. This pill was comparable to a seventh-ranked alchemy pill now. Its purity actually exceeded that.

Though Meng Taiyu had lost his cultivation, his vision remained the same. He could see its value and felt his throat becoming dry: “This… this pill is above the fifth rank…”

The other half-demons were shocked. This Brother Feng just casually took out this magnificent pill. Was he trying to show off?

Feng Wanxia’s mouth was wide open. She stared at the golden pill in Feiyun’s hand then back at hers, thinking that she was being too stingy.

In reality, other half-demons couldn’t come up with a third-ranked pill. This wasn’t her fault in the slightest.

Feiyun sighed in his mind, thinking that these half-demons were quite sad. They haven’t seen this level of pills in Central? This place had everything.

“I want this Buddhist pill, name the price.” A cold voice resounded.

They saw a cool young n.o.ble wearing a purple dress walking over. He was unreasonably handsome and became the focus of many girls. However, his voice was filled with arrogance. He walked with one hand behind his back while waving a paper fan with the other. He didn’t bother looking at the girls.

Him again.

Feiyun had seen him before back in Celestial Market.

This time, his entourage was even bigger. The group consisted of top experts.

Even the palace lord of this place came to greet him but he completely ignored the guy. His eyes were fixated on the golden pill in Feiyun’s hand.

“This brat is a big shot, those four old men behind him are extremely strong.” Grandpa Yu whispered to Feiyun.

Feiyun told Wanxia to keep this old man back. If he were to ask the young n.o.ble about his mother, then this would become huge trouble. They would be dragged down too.

Feiyun then cupped his fist and slightly bowed at the young n.o.ble with a smile: “Sir, we’re half-demons. I’m sure given your prestigious status, you don’t need a pill from a half-demon.”

The young n.o.ble closed his paper fan and took another look at Feiyun: “I’ve met you before, the half-demon back at Celestial Market. This Buddhist pill is not bad, where did you get it?”

He didn’t get closer, seemingly afraid of being infected by the ominous half-demon’s aura.

“That’s… my personal business. I’m sure you don’t want to interfere since that’s unbecoming of a man of your stature.” Feiyun said.

“Such impudence! Do you know who you’re speaking to?!” A man wearing white jade armor walked forward and pointed his spear straight at Feiyun’s throat.

He was at the Nirvana realm so his aura frightened the other half-demons. Only Feiyun stood still and said: “No idea.”

“You!” The armored man’s eyes shot out white pulses, furious at this lowly half-demon.

Feiyun remained calm, seemingly ready to deal with any attack.

“Just a half-demon, don’t bother.” The young n.o.ble glanced at Feiyun’s eyes and thought that he was different from other half-demons. Of course, this was no big deal.

The pill was pure but that’s all, not to the point where he wanted to rob it.

The armored man recalled his aura and glared at Feiyun one last time before leaving with the young n.o.ble.

“Brother Meng, eat it.” Feiyun gave the pill to Meng Taiyue.

The latter disagreed due to its value.

“I’ve already taken it out and many saw it, if you don’t eat it now, they’ll try to rob me after I leave this place anyway.” Feiyun said.

This was indeed the case. Many powerful experts were staring at them with greed in their eyes. They would definitely go for it if this wasn’t the battle palace.
