Chapter 817: Chapter 817: The True Being, Saintess, Thousands Come to Court
Splash!
The Nine Heavens Thunderfire Furnace continuously erupted with Frost and Divine Fire, two extreme forces attempting to crush Princess Hu Feifei.
But, relying on her Undying Body, she easily withstood the pressure and transformed herself using the Upgrade Energy.
One hour later.
Bang!
The Nine Heavens Thunderfire Furnace exploded.
A glowing pink figure slowly stepped out, appearing in everyone’s sight.
It was Princess Hu Feifei!
However, she had undergone a significant change.
Behind her were still ten pink tails, but they had conspicuously grown larger, and her aura has become more domineering, resembling an Empress.
On her forehead, there appeared a pink flame mark resembling her ten tails.
The Hunyuan Staff had grown longer and larger.
Its surface patterns radiated dazzling brilliance, emitting an overwhelming Saintly Might that engulfed the entire area, rendering everyone immobile as if carrying an endless mountain, feeling uneasy all over.
The biggest change was in her demeanor.
Previously, Princess Hu Feifei resembled a clingy kitten.
But now, she was more like a cold and ruthless Empress.
Standing in the void, she exuded a terrifying presence that made many cultivators want to kneel and worship her.
“How… how could she not die?”
“That’s the Nine Heavens Thunderfire Furnace, and its power was increased tenfold! Even a Saint Manifestation could have perished, yet, Princess Hu Feifei emerged unscathed!”
“Moreover, it seems she has undergone some transformation.”
Suspended Mountain.
The Destiny Empress watched the projection images from Shenzhou, clenching her fists tightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Then, her face turned angry.
“Where did it go wrong?”
“Saintly Venerable had already tampered with the Heart of Thunder, so why couldn’t it kill Princess Hu Feifei?”
“Could it be, she really has an Undying Body?”
“No matter what, we must fortify the perimeter of the Thunder Pool Grand Hall. Anyone daring to come close will be executed on the spot!”
Learning from her failure, the Destiny Empress quickly started to arrange a new plan.
…
On the Shenzhou Continent, within the Sumeru Array of Whitefloat City.
Feng Chuan stood on the peak of the Taiyue Mountain Range, trembling with fear, his legs shaking uncontrollably, unable to move a step.
He could never have imagined that Princess Hu Feifei not only survived the Saint Ascension Tribulation but also had transformed, exuding a highly dignified aura.
At a glance, she was terrifying.
“Hey, isn’t that Saint Heir Feng Chuan? What brings you here?” A cultivator recognized him standing on the mountain peak.
“Saint Heir Feng Chuan?”
“Is it Wanzong Holy Lands’ newly promoted top Heavenly Emperor Feng Chuan? I heard he was appointed as the new Saint Heir, holding a revered status.”
“Unexpectedly, he is nearby to observe the tribulation.”
Many cultivators looked toward the peak of Taiyue Mountain Range, seeing the stiff-faced Feng Chuan.
“Damn, I’ve been recognized!”
Feng Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth and hastily took out gifts, saying with a merry smile:
“Fellow Daoists, what a coincidence! I heard Empress Feitian was undergoing tribulation and assumed she would successfully ascend to Saintliness, so I prepared gifts to congratulate her.”
These gifts were originally meant to mourn Princess Hu Feifei and see what Ye Feng’s reaction would be, taking the opportunity to secretly revel in schadenfreude.
But who knew, Princess Hu Feifei didn’t die!
That was truly painful.
The more Feng Chuan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
“It turns out it’s a congratulation.”
“We were too hasty, too hasty indeed!”
“Yes, I was too busy observing the Saint Ascension Tribulation closely and had yet to prepare congratulatory gifts!”
“Ah, Saint Heir Feng Chuan, you’re too thoughtful.”
Prominent figures from various factions praised him.
Hearing this, Feng Chuan felt as if he had eaten feces, trapped within himself.
“Hehe, seniors are too kind.”
Although his heart was in knots, his face could only wear a merry smile. How suffocating it was.
“Yo, since it’s a gift, we thank you!”
Ye Feng could certainly guess Feng Chuan’s petty thoughts. This fellow must have thought that Princess Hu Feifei was done for and deliberately came to irritate others, but on the surface, Ye Feng pretended to know nothing.
He casually waved, accepting Feng Chuan’s gifts.
“Sect Master Ye, Empress Feitian… Saintess, now that the gifts from this Saint Heir have been delivered, I shall take my leave. Farewell!”
Feng Chuan no longer wanted to stay.
After bowing with his hands clasped, he turned and vanished without a trace.
Ye Feng had no desire to engage Feng Chuan.
At this stage, Feng Chuan, the invisible utility person, had not fully played his role yet. It wasn’t the time to reel him in, so maintaining a neither close nor distant relationship was more appropriate.
Feng Chuan’s actions had awakened countless people.
A large number of cultivators flew over, surrounding Ye Feng and Fox Consort Feifei, clasping their hands in salute,
“Congratulations, Sect Master Ye, congratulations, Princess Saint!”
Upon hearing the term “Princess Saint,” a hint of displeasure flashed in Fox Consort Feifei’s eyes.
Her figure flashed, and she stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Feng, her pink lips slightly parting,
“I do not like the name ‘Princess Saint.’ Call me ‘Saintess!'”
The crowd looked at each other momentarily.
But soon, they unanimously said, “Congratulations to the Saintess for overcoming the Saint Ascension Tribulation, achieving the state of Saint Entry.”
“Dispense with the formalities,” Fox Consort Feifei waved her hand.
She looked at Ye Feng beside her, her eyes full of affection.
Ye Feng could see that Fox Consort Feifei had successfully undergone Spiritual Transformation, becoming a true living being with significantly improved spiritual intelligence, no longer the puppet of before, but a real person.
However, she still retained memories from before.
Moreover, Fox Consort Feifei was just outwardly aloof.
In fact, Ye Feng could see a mischievous light flickering in her pupils.
“Back to the sect!”
With a sweep of his big sleeve, Ye Feng brought Fox Consort Feifei to the Misty Sect, entered the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, and closed the great door.
Fox Consort Feifei’s tribulation was successful.
But the fermentation of this event was just beginning.
Within one day.
This news had already spread through the streets and alleys of Shenzhou.
Someone had become a saint!
She was the protector of the Misty Sect, Fox Consort Feifei, self-proclaimed as a Saintess!
Countless people plunged into a heated discussion.
“What do you think, why can the Saintess be immortal?”
“This doesn’t need to be discussed anymore. The Saintess has an Undying Body, which is her unique constitution.”
“Really?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Without an Undying Body, how could the Saintess have endured the power surge of the Saint Ascension Tribulation?”
“Let’s drop this topic. The issue we should care about now is how the Saintess managed to initiate the Saint Ascension Tribulation with the Thunder Pool Grand Hall already sealed?”
“Right, that’s the key.”
“Could it have been Sect Master Ye who helped her?”
“I think it might have to do with the Thunder Palace.”
Numerous people started discussions.
Especially Four-Turn Quasi-Saints like Luo Yu and Xue Yan, who were eager to know the reasons.
After all, they were already at the junction of their own tribulations.
“I’ve decided, I’m going straight to visit Sect Master Ye and the Saintess for answers.”
“I’m going too!”
“Remember to bring a congratulatory gift.”
Various major powers with Quasi-Saints set off.
In the Tianmiao Holy Land.
Yin Rurong, in her room, picked up an object and fiercely smashed it to the ground.
“Even that vixen Fox Consort Feifei has become a saint, what on earth is going on?”
Yin Rurong was utterly baffled.
She pondered back and forth, and finally thought of someone.
“That’s right!”
“I can use Xue Yan, let her visit Ye Feng at the Misty Sect, and inquire about the reason Fox Consort Feifei could trigger the Saint Ascension Tribulation. By then, as my spiritual wounds heal, I shall be able to face my own tribulation.”
Thinking this, Yin Rurong grew more and more delighted.
Soon, she flew toward the Ice and Snow Holy Land to visit Xue Yan.
…
Misty Sect, Sect Leader’s Great Hall.
“This touch, it really is just like a real person!”
Ye Feng sat on his seat, pinching Fox Consort Feifei’s cheek, feeling that the sensation was really too good.
“Sect Leader, I am a real person now,” Fox Consort Feifei moved closer to Ye Feng’s ear, breathing softly like orchids, “And, I can also have babies now!”
At these words, Ye Feng sharply inhaled a breath of cool air.
Was this a hint?
Ye Feng couldn’t help but think.
“Sect Leader, do you desire to consummate with me?” At that moment, Fox Consort Feifei asked tenderly.
These words shocked Ye Feng.
