Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1194: Zhuxian Sheng

Feng Yao and the others stood in the sky, observing every change that occurred in the area below them.

”The arrival of these evil beasts has caused the situation to change rapidly, and they seem to be targeting the talents of the human race.” Feng Jiu softly spoke.

”What exactly is their purpose in capturing those young cultivators, Yao’er?”

”I once said that this realm is experiencing a crisis of new talents, right?” Feng Tian and Feng Jiu nodded to Feng Yao. ”The main cause is these evil beasts. Over the years, they kidnapped all the new talents that emerged, and they stole their talents for themselves.”

”Stealing talents? Can that kind of thing be done?” Both phoenixes asked in shock.

Feng Yao nodded at them. ”Naturally, it cannot be done by everyone, but someone in the evil beast races has the ability to do it, especially since he was born with the Myriad Dao Physique.”

”The Myriad Dao Physique is a fourth-rank special physique, right?”

”Yes.” Feng Yao then explained. ”The physique is one of the most unfathomable physiques under the heavens. It is the embodiment of the dao itself. Every law, element, and principle resonates with the bearer’s body and soul. The owner has perfect compatibility with all cultivation methods, and he can comprehend all dao as easily as turning the palm of his hand. Additionally, it grants him the ability to steal other people’s talents and transfer them to others, enhancing the target’s talents and weakening the source’s talents.”

”Isn’t that physique too overpowered?”

”Actually, it depends on the owner,” Feng Yao’s answer confused them. ”It will be overpowered if it is possessed by the right person, but it will be ineffective if the owner lacks fundamental abilities. The current owner of the physique is a useless person, and he is under the complete control of the four evil beasts. In fact, that person is no different from a puppet.”

”A puppet?”

Feng Yao nodded. ”He was born with that physique, but his cultivation veins were born fragile. If he cultivated too fast, his veins would rupture instantly, and he would become a cripple. He has cultivated for quite a long time, but his cultivation was stuck in the Divine Transformation Realm. Qiongqi accidentally discovered his physique and managed to capture him, and he turned him into a soulless puppet. Since then, the evil beasts began to capture all the outstanding talents, and none of them can stop them, including Long Wuzhao.”

”What happened to the victims?”

Feng Yao let out a soft sigh. ”They will never be able to advance further on their path of cultivation, and most of them will turn into idiots for the rest of their lives.”

Feng Jiu remembered something. ”Come to think of it, Zhang Fei doesn’t have that physique, but he managed to walk multiple cultivation paths simultaneously. He managed to master so many techniques, and he also has so many elements. What would happen if he had the Myriad Dao Physique?”

”Haha.” Feng Yao laughed softly. ”Unlike the owner of the Myriad Dao Physique, Zhang Fei managed to achieve all of that thanks to his persistence and seriousness in learning new things, supported by his already high talent. If he had that physique, he would have mastered far more things, and he would likely become the embodiment of the living Dao. Unfortunately, there are no ifs in life, and he is not destined to have that physique.”

Feng Tian’s expression suddenly turned serious. ”Why didn’t you stop those evil beasts, Yao’er? You and Huo Ling had the ability to stop them, but you both let them do as they pleased, resulting in countless casualties.”

”That’s—”

Feng Yao stopped Huo Ling. ”Father, we do have the ability to stop those evil beasts, but there are many things we cannot interfere with, and that matter is one of them. If I make a move, that higher power will not like it, and it will immediately stop me. The current me is indeed powerful, but that power is far beyond your imagination, and I am just a speck of dust in front of it. My main reason for reincarnating over and over again is to free myself from its shackles; only then will I no longer be under its control, and I can be myself.”

”What—”

”Wait for the right time, okay? At that time, I will tell you both the truth, and I will help you to be free.” Feng Tian and Feng Jiu sighed softly before nodding to Feng Yao.

”Master.” Huo Ling pointed to a man. ”Isn’t he—”

”Yes.” Feng Yao nodded at her. ”He possesses the Ancestral Battle Saint Physique, and he also possesses the most terrifying element, the Time Element.”

”The Time Element!” Feng Tian and Feng Jiu screamed in shock as they observed the man. They could see that the demons and evil beasts surrounding him were moving extremely slowly, and they would sometimes stop in midair, allowing him to kill them without using any techniques. ”That man is truly terrifying, Yao’er!”

Feng Yao nodded at them. ”Unfortunately, the time element isn’t that simple, and it’s difficult to master. He can control time, but his control over it is still too weak, and he can only use it for a few seconds. Fortunately, he is also a speed cultivator, and his movement techniques give him an advantage over his enemies, especially when combined with his time control.”

”If he’s a speed cultivator, how can his attacks be so powerful and deadly? He attacked them with ordinary attacks, yet their bodies shattered instantly.” Feng Jiu asked in confusion.

”Haha.” Feng Yao softly laughed. ”Mother, as I said just now, he possesses the Ancestral Battle Saint Physique, and it was born from the spirit of ancient war gods. It embodies the essence of battle itself—unyielding spirit, unstoppable force, and the might to shake heaven and earth through combat alone. His attacks appear ordinary to others, but they are deadly due to his battle intent.”

”Battle intent?”

”Battle intent is akin to a battle spirit, but the possessor of that physique can manifest his spirit into something tangible, just like sword cultivators manifest their sword intent. The more he is involved in a battle, the stronger his battle intent will be. The physique also strengthens his entire body, be it inside or out. The disadvantage is that he becomes thirsty for battle, and he often acts rashly because his battle spirit continues to overflow.” Feng Yao immediately enveloped them with her aura. ”Let’s meet him.

”Who are you guys?” The man was tall and young, with long, straight red hair. His eyes were sharp and piercing, with a cold and indifferent expression. There was a black, sword-like mark on his forehead. He wore a dark robe lined with red cloth, decorated with black sword patterns.

”Zhuxian Sheng, we didn’t come here to look for trouble with you.” He was surprised that Feng Yao knew his name, even though he had never known her before. However, he realized that he and Huo Ling were much stronger than him, even though they suppressed their aura as neatly as possible. ”I came to you because I needed your help, especially your ability to control time.”

Zhuxian Sheng raised an eyebrow. ”I don’t have such an ability.”

”Is that so?” Feng Yao created a qi screen, displaying Zuxian Sheng’s previous battle against the demons and evil beasts. ”Like I said, I don’t want to look for trouble with you; instead, I need your help.”

”What do you need from me?” Feng Yao changed the qi screen and displayed Zhang Fei [5], who was picking up several disciples from the Moonlit Passion Sect, confusing Zhuxian Sheng. ”Do you want me to attack them?”

”His name is Zhang Fei, an elder of the Moonlit Passion Sect, and he is an acquaintance of mine.” Feng Yao’s answer increasingly perplexed Zhuxian Sheng. ”You two have similarities, and you both thirst for battle. I need him to help me, but he’s still too weak. I need someone to train him, and I want you to be his sparring partner.”

”I don’t have time for that, so you can find someone else to help you.” Feng Yao immediately threw a storage ring to Zhuxian Sheng and asked him to check its contents, which shocked him. ”How—”

”If you are willing to help me to train Zhang Fei, you can have that item.” Feng Yao then told Zhuxian Sheng a few things. ”What do you think? Are you willing to accept my request?”

Zhuxian Sheng nodded. ”Alright, I’ll accept your request, but don’t blame me if he gets injured, because I often can’t control my thirst for battle, especially when facing someone worthy.”

”You don’t need to worry about him because he has excellent recovery abilities.” Feng Yao gave him another thing. ”I want you to use your full strength when you spar with him, and you don’t need to hold back your killing intent when facing him.”

Zhuxian Sheng frowned at that. ”If you believe in his abilities so much, why don’t you train him yourself? After all, you and the woman beside you are much stronger than me.”

”I have my reasons.” Feng Yao immediately led the others away. ”Remember! Don’t hold back and fight him with all your might.”

Zhuxian Sheng let out a soft sigh and took out an item inside the storage ring, which was a black spear brimming with powerful killing intent. ”How did this spear end up in her hand?”
