Chapter 533: Chapter 442: Dream of the Heavenly Lake! Kun Peng Ancient Nest

...

For the Golden Clan, the Kunpeng, and by extension the Kunpeng Treasure Skill, were entities of extraordinary significance.

This was not only because of the Kunpeng Treasure Skill’s unparalleled offensive power, which made it worthy of its reputation as the true legacy of a supreme Saint Venerable.

It was also because the Kunpeng Treasure Skill had been obtained from the Immortal Realm by the Thunder Saint Venerable and had made its way back to the Changkong clan through Longevity Heaven.

Its very existence served as proof that other worlds existed beyond Chaos.

Back in the day, after the Thunder Saint Venerable attained the Dao, He spent His final years carrying the Immortal Thunder Shocking Halberd, exploring the barriers of Chaos, searching for the Immortal Realm, and warring in the great beyond.

One hundred thousand years later, late one night, the Immortal Thunder Shocking Halberd returned on its own.

The body of the halberd was tainted by a bizarre, ethereal shadow. Heaven and earth wailed, and a rain of blood fell without end.

Accompanying the Immortal Thunder Shocking Halberd’s return were the Kunpeng Treasure Skill and other such marvels!

It was easy to imagine, then, the exalted status the Kunpeng Treasure Skill held in the eyes of Longevity Heaven.

Undoubtedly, once Fang Yang obtained such a fortuitous opportunity, he was destined to experience a leap in his very level of existence!

At that very moment, as dawn broke, Fang Yang returned to a familiar place. Accompanied by Thunder Control the Great Saint, he arrived once more at the Changkong Treasure Vault.

In front of the Changkong Treasure Vault, a dense fog of clouds and mist obscured all vision, making it impossible to get one’s bearings.

’This must be my third time here...’

Fang Yang smiled faintly and stepped forward.

In that instant, the clouds parted, revealing a path of light that stretched toward the heavens.

With a powerful and majestic gait, he soared into the passage.

"Fang Yang..." The Saints guarding the treasure vault watched the distant figures of Fang Yang and Thunder Control the Great Saint, their gazes peculiar.

Among them, Chen Kui’s gaze was the most complex.

She stood frozen in place, silently watching Fang Yang’s retreating figure.

’If not for my stubbornness, my sister Chen Ying might have found a good match, right?’

At the same time, from the depths of the vault, another pair of eyes was silently watching Fang Yang, their gaze profound.

The Divine Spirit of the Changkong Treasure Vault!

All things possess a spirit.

Fundamentally, divine spirits possess a degree of sapience, making them quite different from Earth Spirits.

The Divine Spirit of the Changkong Treasure Vault had no specific body or appearance.

He was merely a manifestation of purplish-gold light that resembled the silhouette of a young man.

Now, He had awakened and was staring intently at Fang Yang, muttering the word "Kunpeng."

As Fang Yang approached, the divine light in His eyes grew ever brighter, dazzling like the stars in the sky.

Soon, Thunder Control the Great Saint halted, leaving Fang Yang to proceed alone into the depths of the vault.

The depths of the treasure vault were completely silent.

It was a range of towering mountains, each peak unique.

Some were shaped like celestial dragons, others like rainbow phoenixes, and some rang with the clash of swords... Without exception, all of them were supremely sacred.

Fang Yang fixed his gaze on them and instantly realized they were transformations of various Great Saint artifacts!

Between the peaks, where the mountains met, the Dao-rhythms of various schools—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—crisscrossed to form a great array that emanated a terrifying aura.

Faced with this unique grand array, even a Great Saint would likely not fare well.

Fang Yang, however, simply clasped his hands behind his back and proceeded step by step up the stone path winding through the mountains.

He could even feel the residual aura left behind by Sen Yue on these stone steps.

Indeed, the Profound Domain’s Celestial Destiny Mark was taking effect once more.

In the deepest part of the mountain range, ancient pines stood sentinel beside a sprawling palace.

He had not yet drawn near when a desolate, primordial aura surged over him, as if it had billowed forth from the Immortal Realm itself.

BOOM—

The moment he stepped off the stone path and into the deepest part of the mountains, the sky abruptly darkened and became thick with black clouds.

From within the depths of the dark clouds, wisps of creation energy emerged.

It was a power beyond description, as if an ancient, ferocious beast had appeared, causing the very void to tremble.

[Upper-Intermediate Fortune: Go to the Changkong Treasure Vault. The Kunpeng reappears. Though there will be disturbances, if handled properly, a Tier Seven opportunity can be obtained, with potential for future expansion. Auspicious.]

Fang Yang understood. This must be the ’disturbance’ the fortune had spoken of.

In an instant, the dark clouds shattered, transforming into a boundless ocean.

The ocean was boundless and its waves turbulent. A majestic true intent coalesced, and a massive black fish emerged. It was impossibly long, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, and it roiled the entire ocean with its movements.

True Intent of the Kun Fish!

In the next moment, the Divine Spirit of the vault revealed a look of astonishment.

For the moment Fang Yang’s Kunpeng Dharma Aspect appeared, it devoured the True Intent of the Kun Fish.

Not only that, but it also forcefully devoured the True Intent of the Peng Bird.

This outcome far exceeded the expectations of the vault’s Divine Spirit.

This was because back then, even Sen Yue had to expend considerable effort!

CREAAAK—

The palace doors swung open wide. A great gust of wind rushed in, creating a tremendous roar.

In the blink of an eye, a treasured light shot out from the palace doorway and came to a stop before Fang Yang.

[Dream of the Celestial Lake]

In the North Sea, there is a fish named Kun. The Kun is so large, its size is unknown for how many thousands of miles. It transforms into a bird named Peng. The Peng’s back is so vast, its size is unknown for how many thousands of miles. When it soars in anger, its wings are like clouds that hang from the sky. This bird, when the ocean’s tides shift, migrates to the South Sea. The South Sea is the Celestial Lake.

Clearly, this Dream of the Celestial Lake was an expression of its own vision of the Kunpeng!

Externally, the Dream of the Celestial Lake appeared as a small, jet-black Kun fish, its scales and form startlingly lifelike.

This was a Tier Seven Sacred Material. It was related not only to the Water Dao but also to the Dream Dao.

Refining it would bring immense benefits to any Cultivator of the Kunpeng lineage.

The most immediate benefits would be another enhancement to ongoing abilities like one’s immortal essence and physical constitution!

"Kunpeng Ancestor, you have arrived." An Immortal Sound drifted from within the palace.
