Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 1079 – A Bet Between the Big Bosses

Chapter 1079: A Bet Between the Big Bosses

In the Phoenixes’ ancestral land, Feng Tian, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A rare trace of anger flashed in his calm eyes.

“Hmph, trash!” Feng Tian cursed softly. Although the aura on his body did not cause any ripples, the change in his tone was enough to shock one’s mind.

Feng Xinxiao took a step forward and asked in a low voice, “Father, why are you so angry?”

His voice was filled with surprise because he knew very well how shrewd Feng Tian was. It was rare for him to show such an attitude.

Feng Tian glanced at him indifferently and answered, “Feng Yi and Feng Ai failed.”

“What?” Feng Xinxiao’s expression changed slightly. “They actually failed?”

He paused for a moment and said, “That’s impossible. The 2 of them joined hands and are both Rulers. Besides, we notified the Dragons beforehand. Given the ally, how could they fail?”

The corner of Feng Tian’s mouth curled slightly, and he sneered. “The brothers couldn’t distinguish the severity. The mission I gave them was to kill Ou Yangming, but they chose to chase after Long Ting and let Ou Yangming escape.”

“Long Ting…” Feng Xinxiao revealed a helpless expression and said, “Father, the Dragons and the Phoenixes are mortal enemies. Since they met halfway, if they had the chance to kill the other party, they wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.”

Feng Tian looked at him and responded, “There are priorities. What I’m angry about is that they were blinded by hatred and interests and couldn’t see who’s the real threat.”

The corner of Feng Xinxiao’s eyes twitched. “Father, Ou Yangming’s powerful, he’s only a Venerable One, after all.”

“It’s precisely because he’s a Venerable One that he’s so terrifying.” Feng Tian cut him off without holding back.

Feng Xinxiao was stunned. He opened his mouth but felt that he had nothing to say.

After all, he had personally experienced Ou Yangming’s strength and knew how formidable the human with the Imperial Bloodline was. Just as Feng Tian had said, the young fellow was only a Venerable One at the moment. How far could he go if he became a Ruler?

Feng Xinxiao raised his head and could not help but look at his father.

‘Would Ou Yangming be qualified to challenge Feng Tian then?’

Feng Xinxiao immediately shook his head and threw the frightening thought to the back of his mind. A powerhouse like Feng Tian was hard to come by even in the Phoenixes. Feng Xinxiao had never thought that Ou Yangming could be on par with his father.

All of a sudden, Feng Tian’s expression darkened slightly. He slowly turned around, and that pair of sharp eyes was staring in a certain direction.

Feng Xinxiao was startled. He turned and saw a pair of old but wise eyes right away.

Feng Mu, who was the strongest and the most senior powerhouse in the Phoenixes, had come to their side without them knowing.

“Greetings, Elder Mu.” Feng Xinxiao hurriedly took a step back.

Even though Feng Mu’s opinion was different from Feng Tian’s and was somewhat the complete opposite, Feng Xinxiao did not dare to be the slightest bit disrespectful toward Feng Wu. Otherwise, many powerhouses in their race would want to teach him a lesson.

Feng Mu slowly nodded and said, “Feng Xinxiao, I have some matters that I wish to discuss with your father.”

Feng Xinxiao’s expression changed slightly. He stole a glance at Feng Tian and saw Feng Tian nodding slowly. Only then did he bow and take his leave.

It was only after he had left the courtyard far away that his body seemed to have been bathed in a rainstorm. Large amounts of sweat appeared on his body. This was caused by excessive nervousness and worry. Neither Feng Mu nor Feng Tian was an existence that could be ignored.

Within the Phoenixes, everyone understood that the 2 of them represented different wills and were the moderators of their respective wills.

Nonetheless, for the sake of the Phoenixes, the conflict between them was always hidden under the waves and did not bring any real impact to the race. Even so, the 2 kings of the Phoenixes still sat face to face this time.

Feng Xinxiao’s hands were slightly clenched. He suddenly realized that his palms were already covered in sweat.

Looking at that small room, his heart was at his throat. This was because he did not know what the future of the Phoenixes would be like.

Perhaps at this moment, in the deepest part of his heart, he was most afraid that the small room would explode without warning and that the 2 top powerhouses would not be willing to be outdone and decided to fight on the spot. If that was really the case, he really could not think of how far the Phoenixes could go in the future.

After waiting for a long time, Feng Tian’s voice was heard.

“Come in.”

Feng Xinxiao was startled. He quickly flashed and entered the room once again.

He looked around but he did not see Feng Mu’s figure.

Feng Tian said indifferently, “There’s no need to look. Feng Mu has left.”

Feng Xinxiao lowered his head. “Yes.” He had been waiting outside the entire time, but he did not see Feng Mu leave. He could not help but feel aghast. Just like what was said in the rumors, the old man indeed possessed unfathomable powers.

“I’ve talked to Feng Mu. Heh, he really thinks highly of that human fella,” Feng Tian noted.

Feng Xinxiao raised his head and said, “Father, you mean…”

Feng Tian sneered. “Feng Mu’s also dedicated to the Phoenixes, but he’s wrong… The blood feud between the Phoenixes and the Dragons has been accumulated for tens of millions of generations and has long been engraved into our bones. It’s simply impossible to resolve it.”

Feng Xinxiao nodded his head hard. Under the influence of his father, he also had a firm resolve toward this.

Either the Dragons and the Phoenixes could exist in the Great Wide World. The theory of the two coexisting was mentioned in the Phoenixes, but he was certainly the most vehement objector regarding this.

Feng Tian said slowly, “Feng Mu wants to make a bet with me, and the Phoenixes’ attitude in the future is at stake.”

Feng Xinxiao suddenly looked up and cried out in surprise, “Father, why would he do this? Isn’t… Isn’t this too child’s play?”

While Feng Tian did not explain it in detail, one could imagine the content just by listening to his words.

Nevertheless, the Main Combat Sect and the Peacemaking Sect had entirely different attitudes and were the complete opposite. If a bet could solve everything… Feng Xinxiao really did not know how to describe this matter.

Who knew, Feng Tian grinned and said with a smile, “This bet is quite interesting. Heh, I agreed to it.”

The muscles on Feng Xinxiao’s face twitched slightly. At this moment, even he himself did not know how he should face his father.

‘Feng Mu has gone crazy. Despite that, not only did Father not stop him, but he even agreed to the bet.’ Feng Xinxiao shook his head. ‘If I wasn’t certain that the person standing in front of me is Father himself, I might really suspect something.’

Feng Tian glanced at his son and said with a rare smile, “Young fella, don’t think too much.” He paused and continued, “Feng Mu’s bet is that as long as Ou Yangming enters the heart of origins, he’ll find the opportunity and method to resolve the enmity between the Dragons and the Phoenixes.”

Feng Xinxiao’s eyes lit up. He heaved a sigh of relief and remarked with a smile, “That’s really wishful thinking!”

The heart of origins was the most mysterious place in the Great Wide World, but it would be impossible to enter the place and find a solution to deal with the 2 top races.

Feng Tian nodded slightly and said, “I don’t know where Feng Mu’s confidence came from, but I… Don’t believe it.”

Feng Xinxiao expressed, “Father, if that’s the bet, we can simply agree to it.”

The corner of Feng Tian’s mouth twitched, and he said, “Feng Mu isn’t an idiot. That’s the bet, but the wager is very relaxed. He hopes that the person who loses can reconsider his position.”

Feng Xinxiao smiled and said, “I see. No wonder you agreed so readily, Father.”

With a gentle wave of his hand, Feng Tian added, “I don’t think that Ou Yangming will be able to find anything but since Feng Mu said so, he must have something to rely on…”

Feng Xinxiao was moved as he cupped his hands and said, “Father, I’m willing to go.”

Upon hearing what he said, Feng Tian looked at him deeply with admiration in his eyes. “Alright, wear my armor and go.”

Feng Xinxiao raised his head in pleasant surprise. His eyes were filled with excitement.

His father’s armor represented more than just the meaning of inheritance. That armor was an incredibly rare ancient inheritance of the Phoenixes, and it possessed an indescribable power. Once worn and activated by the Phoenixes’ Bloodline, the power it could unleash would be unimaginable.

Having said that, such armor was rare even in the entire Phoenixes.

Feng Tian noted slowly, “You’ve always been my son. I hope that one day, you’ll be able to control the Phoenixes. Don’t disappoint me…”

“Yes.” Feng Xinxiao bowed respectfully and left.

His eyes were bright and full of determination.

Following his heart and confidence, he would not let Feng Tian down no matter what.

On the huge dragon boat, a flame suddenly lit up, enveloping the entire flying boat as if it was daytime.

Inside the fireball was a strange thing formed from different materials. The good things among the relics that were looted from the Dragons and the Phoenixes were piled up by Ou Yangming, and they were slowly fused together. Finally, the equipment was completed in the fireball according to what he had designed in advance.

Under the expectant gazes of Big Yellow and Lil’ Red, the raging flames finally disappeared.

At this moment, in front of them were 3 different armors, a set of flying knives, and several fiery red arrows.

Ou Yangming did not specify who the pieces of equipment were for, but Big Yellow and Lil’ Red’s eyes had locked on to what they wanted. Moreover, it was as if they had discussed it beforehand, they had chosen their targets.

Big Yellow pulled the set of throwing knives to his feet while Lil’ Red held the few arrows and did not want to let them go.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat and said, “Take your armors first. I’ve fused the most precious relics of the Dragons and the Phoenixes into the armors. Not only are they Thunderbolt-resistant Suits, but they also carry exceptionally defensive powers against any physical attack.”
