“This is the authority that will allow you to rule over the Cave Sky!”
Feng Qing’an looked down at the mystic inscription creeping around his left wrist. This was a supremely mysterious kind of writing, each character resembling a divine form. The dragon-shaped characters seemed like small dragons soaring, the phoenix-shaped ones appeared ready to spread their wings and fly, and the tiger-shaped ones seemed poised to pounce… These characters seemed to possess life, radiating divine light, as if wanting to detach from his wrist and metamorphose into independent sanctities.
“From today onward, you will manage this layer. As long as you do not destroy it, whatever you do is up to your own will!”
“Hmm!”
Feng Qing’an responded indifferently, observing the divine glow emitted by the mystic inscription circling his wrist. It formed a halo, and he pondered its mysteries.
The spirit of the Cave Sky had generously conferred the control of this layer to him. Through the authority granted by this mystic inscription, he had the ability to observe the land from a unique perspective. The area of this layer was not very large, it was approximately a hundred miles in diameter.
Of course, while it may not be large, if considered as available storage space, it seemed overwhelmingly vast. The best storage belt that Dong Huang had given him was only a few miles wide. This place, however, was a hundred miles wide and could even contain live creatures. Even if he decided to move the wolf pack from Black Mountain to Green Python Mountain, there wouldn’t be a problem. This place had a unique blessing for the growth of magical creatures.
Yet, these were minor details. What truly intrigued Feng Qing’an was that under the empowerment of the Cave Sky’s authority, he could now see the true form of the Cave Sky’s spirit.
Although aided by the characteristics of Chun Yang, he could sense the presence of the Cave Sky’s spirit. His own body, however, was too small. What he could see was only a portion of it. He had no idea what was beneath the nine skulls.
Now, he could see. Beneath the nine enormous, mountain-like skulls, was nothingness. This being only had nine skulls. However, there was a special connection between them, as if they shared one body.
The spirit of the Cave Sky became aware of Feng Qing’an’s curious gaze almost immediately. It noticed him examining it through his authority, knew his doubts regarding its existence, even without asking.
“Feng Qing’an, I am different from any living thing you have encountered. Within the Cave Sky, I exist everywhere. However, if necessary, I can also condense a body capable of bearing a will.”
Whilst it spoke, seemingly to validate its words and to show off, below its nine massive snake heads suspended in mid-air, one after another, the thick scales larger than humans started to appear. Below those uniformly arranged scales, flesh, fascia, meridians, bones, gradually emerged.
Under Feng Qing’an’s amazed gaze, a colossal serpent gradually appeared, its form resembling the undulating terrain of a mountain range with nine heads. However, this transformation abruptly stopped halfway. Under Feng Qing’an’s somewhat bewildered gaze, the half-formed body of this colossal serpent exploded and dissipated.
“The consumption was too large. The damage to this Cave Sky is severe. It’s not sufficient to support my full manifestation!”
The Cave Sky’s spirit seemed slightly embarrassed in its tone, but explained the reason anyway. It wasn’t that it couldn’t do it, but that the Cave Sky was too damaged.
“I understand!”
Feng Qing’an looked at the Cave Sky’s spirit, which was, at this moment, reduced to nine snake heads, and could only bluff with the help of the cloud mist enveloping this layer. He seemed understanding, but inwardly he couldn’t help but sneer.
Although it looked mighty, this thing was even more deceptive than he had originally thought. It was like a showy but useless ornament. Of course, it wasn’t just decorative. If it were to take action, even Dong Huang would be in trouble. However, its influence was only limited to this broken Cave Sky.
A few giant snake heads stared at the sky, the others surrounded the considerably small body of Feng Qing’an below.
“By the way, Feng Qing’an, the layer you now control, according to your Human Race’s definition, is the fifth layer. However, the Xiao Family has no idea. They only control the first four layers. ”
“Although it’s the fifth layer, it’s small. If you’re not satisfied, you can find mystical objects from heaven and earth to supplement it, expand the area of this layer, and make it bigger!”
“That is unnecessary, I’m quite satisfied with it!”
Hearing the words of the Cave Sky’s spirit, Feng Qing’an laughed. The intentions of this Cave Sky’s spirit were as clear as a bead bouncing in front of him.
He understood very well. On one hand, this spirit coveted his potential, on the other hand, it was wary of his human identity. It did not wish to entrust all the power of the Cave Sky to him.
But it couldn’t give him nothing either. Otherwise, it was afraid of missing out on him as potential life-saving straw. Thus, it gave him some control, hoping he would help restore the Cave Sky. But Feng Qing’an would not be fooled.
Unless this spirit made a contract with him, he would not put any effort into it. He wouldn’t be reduced to doing such thankless tasks.
If he put forth great effort to gather various heavenly and earthly objects capable of restoring the Cave Sky and succeed, only for some random monster with the potential of being a Heavenly Demon or even a Great Saint to appear and take away the Cave Sky he painstakingly restored like plucking a fruit, who would he turn to for justice?
The control he currently had over this layer of the Cave Sky was only granted by the spirit of the Cave Sky. Since it could be granted, it could be taken away. He wouldn’t help unless he had complete control, taking away any chances of his fruit being plucked.
