417. Heavenly Pillar Mountain

In the Vermilion Bird noble house, when Shangguan Feiyu heard the news of Feng Ling and Lin Fei becoming Dao companions, his face changed instantly.

"Crack."

He crushed the cup in his hand.

The Shangguan family belongs to the Vermilion Bird lineage, possessing the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird, a creature of myths, rumored to be on par with the Phoenix. Even if slightly inferior, the difference isn't much.

To date, Shangguan Feiyu has cultivated eight of his bloodlines and is not far from the ninth. He initially intended to be Dao companions with Feng Ling. Their mutual fiery bloodlines would mean any offspring they have would be incredibly powerful.

Moreover, he had a gut feeling, rooted in his Vermilion Bird bloodline, that being with Feng Ling would bring immense benefits. The specifics were unclear. However, when he had conveyed his feelings, Feng Ling rejected him, possibly deeming him unworthy.

"This Lin Fei, the Ancient Origin Saber King, what's his background?" Shangguan Feiyu coldly inquired.

One of his subordinates promptly reported Lin Fei's history, detailing his joining the Ancient Origin Sect, which was merely a Martial Sovereign level faction. As the information flowed, Shangguan Feiyu's eyes showed a glint of acknowledgment.

"He might have managed to kill the Peacock King, but how can his various gathered bloodlines compare to the noble Vermilion Bird bloodline of our Shangguan family?" he mused, "Being Dao companions with Feng Ling would only dilute the Phoenix bloodline."

He coldly added, "In three months, I'll personally visit the Phoenix household and see what this Lin Fei is truly like."

Despite his reservations about challenging Lin Fei directly, his interest and curiosity weren't something he could easily suppress. Moreover, he was not the only one coveting the Phoenix bloodline. The challenges Lin Fei would face in three months would not be minor.

...

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the disturbances in the outside world, Lin Fei had arrived at the Heavenly Pillar Mountain Range. Upon entering, he felt a distinct aura. The thick Earth Pulse Qi surrounded him.

"However, only a small part of Heavenly Pillar Mountain is visible above the ground now," the Sovereign continued. "Lord Tai Su wishes to extract the entirety of Heavenly Pillar Mountain from underground. He has specifically invited eight other Nascent Soul Great Beings to form a grand formation, and together, they are attempting to move Heavenly Pillar Mountain."

Hearing this, Lin Fei's eyes narrowed. As he gazed into the distance, he could see the nine Nascent Soul cultivators. Their bodies emanated a powerful surge of Qi, forming a grand matrix. Waves of this spiritual energy flowed toward the underground.

"They wish to move Heavenly Pillar Mountain?" Lin Fei muttered, sensing the upheaval of the earth-pulse energy.

A loud rumbling echoed, and the very ground trembled intensely.

"It has begun! The nine Nascent Soul Great Beings are making their move," someone exclaimed. "Usually, a single Nascent Soul Great Being can move a mountain with ease, let alone nine working together. However, Heavenly Pillar Mountain isn't just any mountain. It stretches for hundreds of miles underground and is an ancient divine mountain. Moving it is no small feat."

"Indeed, even with the combined power of nine Nascent Soul Great Beings, it's an incredible challenge," another added.

"The audacity of Lord Tai Su to attempt to refine Heavenly Pillar Mountain into a magic treasure was truly extraordinary. If successfully transformed, such a treasure would undoubtedly shake the heavens and earth."

"But for countless years, no one had managed to move Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Despite the tremendous force exhibited by the nine Nascent Soul Great Beings, the mountain remained unyielding."

Lin Fei could clearly sense that although the earth-pulse energy was in chaos, Heavenly Pillar Mountain remained steadfast. The combined might of the nine Nascent Soul Great Beings could not budge the ancient divine Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"It seems no one can disturb Heavenly Pillar Mountain," someone commented. "No Martial King or Nascent Soul Great Being can move it. Perhaps only those at the level of Deity Transformation or Martial Gods stand a chance."

Seeing the failure of the nine Nascent Soul Great Beings, many shook their heads, displaying a mix of disappointment and resignation. If Heavenly Pillar Mountain could be so easily moved, would it have remained untouched until now?

"It's over. We cannot move Heavenly Pillar Mountain. My thanks to all. Please, return to your abodes," said a dejected Tai Su.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice echoed in the void, "Lord Tai Su, perhaps I can give it a try. However, in return, you must agree to one condition of mine."
