Chapter 574: Chapter 575: Wall Slam!
After hearing the introduction from the Peacock, Feng Qingluan’s interest waned and she said, “Not all Phoenixes belong to one family. I have my own life, so why should I go to the Original World? I won’t go.”
Peacock must have felt a headache coming on, “Miss, do you know the difference between the Original World and the New World?”
“What difference? Doesn’t everyone practice martial arts and cultivate?”
“The difference is huge! In the Original World, Dark Energy is abundant, and cultivation will be much more effective. The environment there is especially challenging, with heavy gravity and immense pressure on the continents. The martial artists there are powerful too. Miss, you must admit that my current strength in the New World would definitely count as a powerful figure among the Star System Stage, right?”
Feng Qingluan slightly nodded her head. If she were to compare only the Star System Stage, Peacock’s strength should be extremely powerful. Before her Nirvana, her own strength was far inferior to that of Peacock’s.
However, Feng Qingluan’s rebirth after her Nirvana allowed her strength to surge, enabling her not only to enter the Star Domain Stage directly but also to awaken her potential and slay Luo Gou right after his promotion. This was a rare case and not easily compared to Peacock’s.
“But with my current strength, in the Star System Stage of the Original World, I would be far inferior. Just within the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, my strength would not rank highly, let alone in the outside world. That would be a vast difference.”
“Could the gap be that big?” Lin Zhen found it hard to believe.
“Hehe! Absolutely! In the Original World, a Star System Term Expert with Star Power exceeding 30,000 can only be considered a genius!”
Lin Zhen and Feng Qingluan exchanged a glance, both feeling the terror of the Original World.
“Miss, if you go to the Original World, your strength and cultivation will undoubtedly be brought to the next level. With the abundant resources from the Phoenix Clan, I believe you will rise in the Original World someday.”
Feng Qingluan shook her head, “No, I want to stay here with Lin Zhen.”
As she spoke, Feng Qingluan hooked her arm around Lin Zhen’s, resting her head gently against his shoulder, and a smile of contentment spread across her face. She seemed quite different from her usual gangster queen demeanor.
Lin Zhen also smiled, not wanting to leave Little Phoenix either.
However, Peacock didn’t give up and continued, “Miss, permit me to remind you, if you refuse to go to the Original World with me, do you really want to stay here in the Chaotic Star River and be with your lover forever?”
Feng Qingluan said, “Why should I stay in the Chaotic Star River forever? Although I like this planet, I want to travel around the vast world with him. It’s impossible for us to stay in one place forever.”
“That’s right. I’ve done my research before coming here. To leave the Chaotic Star River, one can only go through either the Light Tunnel or the Dark Tunnel. However, you mustn’t forget that those places cannot accommodate the power of a Domain King. Miss, now that you have advanced to the Star Domain Stage, if you want to leave, you can only traverse the Endless Meteorite Belt, which stretches across tens of thousands of light-years.”
At this point, Peacock chuckled coldly, “The Meteorite Belt is filled with spatial turbulence. Miss, if you want to pass through it safely, I’m afraid it would take you at least 20,000 years, if not more. Can you really make it with your lover? I highly doubt it!”
Hearing this, Feng Qingluan’s face turned pale!
Her rebirth from the flames had allowed her strength to skyrocket into the Star Domain Stage, but it also eliminated the possibility of her leaving the Chaotic Star River.
Of course, it was impossible for her and Lin Zhen to spend tens of thousands of years together to traverse the Meteorite Belt, but she couldn’t go through the Light Tunnel either. What should she do?
Would she have to remain on the Phoenix Habitat Star forever, or would she and Lin Zhen be separated by great distance from now on?
Such an outcome was definitely not what Feng Qingluan wanted.
Peacock continued relentlessly, “Miss, you need to think clearly. If you follow me to the Original World now, as long as you obtain another Wormhole Egg, you can change your coordinates and return to the New World. That would be the fastest way for you to see him again. There is no other way.”
Feng Qingluan’s breathing became heavier, and her grip on Lin Zhen’s hand tightened, her knuckles turning white. It was obvious she was extremely anxious.
After hearing Peacock’s introduction, Lin Zhen comforted Feng Qingluan by gently stroking her hand and asked, “Is obtaining a Wormhole Egg easy?”
Peacock hesitated for a moment, seeming evasive. Lin Zhen’s face darkened, “I want the truth.”
Peacock couldn’t keep hiding, and admitted reluctantly, “It’s not easy to obtain one. It is very expensive, and we wouldn’t have used it this time if the matter wasn’t of great importance. Our clan is out of them now, and without a fortune, we cannot afford Wormhole Eggs. Otherwise, the Original World would have long dominated the New World.”
“As expected. So, what other methods can take us to the Original World?”
“Yes! I know a place called the Tianhe Empire, located within the Sagittarius Star Nebula. Every ten thousand years, a Life Pillar appears for a thousand years. At the top of the Life Pillar, there’s a Heavenly Gate, which is the only way for New World Warriors to enter the Original World. To successfully enter the upper realms, one must leap through the Heavenly Gate…”
As Peacock said this, he snapped his fingers, “Just like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, those who succeed will have boundless potential.”
“You mean the Tianhe Empire? In the Sagittarius Star Nebula?”
“Yes, the Life Pillar in the Sagittarius Star Nebula has just appeared recently. I won’t hide it from you, but many New World Warriors with World King Powerhouses have gone there to leap through the Heavenly Gate. Haven’t you noticed that you haven’t seen many World Kings recently?”
Lin Zhen nodded; he was aware of this. Little Phoenix’s Master, the Mixed World King, had gone there, along with Ye Hua’s father, the Mechanical World King, and even the Emperor of the Fire Kirin, Tian Haoyu.
“You have to be careful though. I estimate that more and more people will get wind of the news about the Life Pillar, and some Domain Kings may go there as well. This is a rare opportunity that countless people in the New World are vying for.”
Feng Qingluan raised her head, “Is it difficult to pass the Heavenly Gate?”
“Of course it is, but those people must try. As far as I know, in the New World’s cultivation, the peak is the World King Peak, and one cannot progress any further. Thus, going to the Original World is inevitable. Miss, don’t hesitate any longer, as this is the only way you have.”
He pointed at Lin Zhen and said, “If you want to see your little lover again and truly be together for the rest of your lives, this is the quickest way. Whether you obtain the Wormhole Egg and return, or he crosses the Heavenly Gate and enters the Original World, it is far easier and safer than traversing the Endless Meteorite Belt. Besides, going to the Original World earlier will also help you improve sooner.”
“Today’s temporary separation is for a better future together. Miss, I’ve said all there is to say. You two can decide for yourselves. However, I must remind you that this wormhole is unstable and can last for less than half an hour at most. Once this opportunity passes, there won’t be another one like it, so you should make your decision.”
After saying this, Peacock sat to one side to wait, leaving space for the two of them.
Feng Qingluan tightly held Lin Zhen’s hand, and after a while, she said, “Let’s sit on the tree.”
The two leaped up and arrived at the crown of the Wutong tree the next moment.
Sitting on a tree branch, Feng Qingluan gently rested her head on Lin Zhen’s shoulder.
“Lin Zhen, you must have gone through a lot to resurrect me, right?”
“It’s nothing, isn’t this what I’m supposed to do?”
“Well, I knew you would succeed when I died, but I didn’t expect you to do even better than I thought. The pale blue Flame was enough to revive me, but you achieved a deep blue Flame, which has made my strength even more impressive after my resurrection. Otherwise, I might not have been able to beat Luo Gou.”
“I was worried too, worried that you would be resurrected by the Peacock and my efforts all these years would be in vain.”
Feng Qingluan suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, “Why? Are you jealous?”
Lin Zhen’s face turned red, admitting by default.
A pair of jade arms wrapped around Lin Zhen’s neck, her exquisite face gently rubbing against his cheek, “In fact, they almost succeeded. I was aware of their resurrection attempts, but the bloodline of that Jun Mo and mine aren’t completely the same. Although we are both Phoenixes, my blood also contains yours. Only we are connected by blood, so no one else can succeed but you.”
Feeling a little restless by Feng Qingluan’s affection, Lin Zhen thought that even a stone couldn’t resist her charms, let alone himself.
Seeing Lin Zhen’s slightly heavy breathing, Feng Qingluan smiled with her eyes curved, “You’re so embarrassing.”
“Hmph! It’s already difficult enough for me to have done this, and you’re still making fun of me.”
“Yeah, yeah, you’re the most heroic. Luan’er admires you. Why don’t you marry me and make me your wife?”
“What?” Lin Zhen suddenly looked at Feng Qingluan.
“What? Don’t tell me you don’t want to marry me. Although I, Feng Qingluan, have grown up in a gang, I have been chaste and pure. Am I not good enough for you?”
Seeing the pouting, little-girl-like Qing Luan in front of him, Lin Zhen immediately nodded, “Of course not, I naturally want Luan’er, but isn’t this too hasty?”
“What’s the rush? This is a matter between you and me, and we don’t need anyone else to witness it. The sky, the universe, and the stars can all bear witness. It’s enough for you and me to recognize each other.”
Feng Qingluan acted swiftly and decisively, tearing off a piece of her fiery red skirt and gently draping it over her head.
“Lin Zhen, let this universe that nurtured us be the witness, marry your Luan’er as your wife.”
Lin Zhen walked over and gently held Feng Qingluan’s delicate white hand.
The two knelt on the tree branch, facing the vast universe and starry sky.
Lin Zhen spoke loudly, “The vast sky bears witness to our vow!”
Feng Qingluan also spoke, her graceful voice still carrying a bold and valiant charm, “The stars are our testament.”
Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a beam of light fell from the sky, illuminating the two. Darkness surrounded them, with only their spot shining brightly.
“Heavenly light transforms into moonlight.”
Feng Qingluan also raised her slender hand, and soft white flames slowly fell from the sky like festive lanterns and candles.
“Divine fire falls like petals.”
“Luan’er is my wife, with no end.”
“Lin Zhen is my husband, and Luan’er will follow him in life and death.”
Lin Zhen gently lifted Feng Qingluan’s red veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face that could bewitch anyone.
“Husband, please kiss your wife.” Feng Qingluan took the initiative to say.
Lin Zhen swallowed his saliva, feeling somewhat surreal. Was he really going to have such an outstanding wife?
Seeing Lin Zhen reluctant to move, Feng Qingluan suddenly broke into a smile. She suddenly stood up and pushed Lin Zhen against the tree trunk. Then her sweet red lips passionately pressed against his!
