Phoenix Emperor
Chap 77's. Resuming journey.

"Yin Feng, it's time for you to wake up, Ying Huo must be very worried about you."

"But I still want to be with mom." whined Yin Feng, for some reason he just suddenly became very spoiled.

"You can meet your mother at any time."

"REally?!"

Yin Feng looked excited, at first thinking that he would never be able to meet his mother again, which is why he wanted to spend as long as possible with his mother.

Yin Huang nodded, then explained that all this time his soul had been within the silver crystal, but if the energy within the crystal was depleted, then his soul would vanish.

"If you want to be with mom for a little longer, then you have to open your eyes now" Yin Huang said.

"Well, I'll definitely find that thing. Nah! I'll make it myself with my hands!"

"Then, get up. I'll wait until that time comes."

Yin Feng nodded slowly, then closed both of his eyes. Not long after, his body turned into thousands of grains of light and disappeared from Yin Huang's sight.

***

In the cave.

Ying Huo finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Yin Feng's condition begin to improve, yet he was unable to calm down because Yin Feng had yet to also open his eyes.

"It seems that's the only way it can be done."

Since Yin Feng was unconscious, Ying Huo intended to use all of his strength to speed up the absorption process.

But before he could do that, Yin Feng suddenly opened his eyes and stopped his actions. If he was late, then his mother's soul would definitely vanish.

"Uncle, don't do anything that makes me hate you."

"What do you mean?!" ying Huo said annoyedly, instead of thanking her, her nephew instead said something strange to her.

Yin Feng then told him about his encounter with Yin Huang, besides, Yin Feng also explained that his mother's soul was inside that silver crystal.

After hearing Yin Feng's explanation, Ying Huo finally understood why Yin Feng had forbidden him from doing so, because his actions could obliterate Yin Huang's soul.

Moreover, Ying Huo also apologized because he had not known this before, and all he wanted to do back then was save Yin Feng's life.

"It's okay, uncle. I understand why you did this and thank you for helping me."

"Don't think about it, after all, it's my responsibility as your uncle."

Yin Feng smiled, then tried to get up from the bed that was only made of huge stones. But he could not because his body was still very weak.

"You need anything?" ask Ying Huo.

Yin Feng shook his head slowly. "Uncle, how long have I been like this?"

"Almost a year" Ying Huo replied.

After being expelled from the realm of the gods, Ying Huo directly searched for Yin Feng to the entire corner of the Xuanwu continent, yet he found no signs of his existence there.

Not finding Yin Feng there, Ying Huo then searched Yin Feng to another continent and finally, he found Yin Feng in a remote village on the Xianren continent.

"So, the Xianren continent really exists?" asked Yin Feng.

"Of course, why?"

"In my dreams, I live a life on the continent" Yin Feng replied.

"Wait, if the Xianren continent is really real, lest the woman..."

"Continent Xianren is real, but the woman you think of doesn't exist" Ying Huo said.

"Don't you mean that woman who has pure Yin energy?"

"Yes!"

Ying Huo let out a long sigh, then explained that the woman was neither on the Xianren continent, nor on any other continent he had visited while searching for Yin Feng.

If that woman really existed in the Xianren continent, Ying Huo would have already taken her to their place, no matter what her obstacles and obstacles were.

"Thank God, at least that woman is not him" Yin Feng said.

"What kind of woman did you meet in your dream?"

"I don't want to talk about it!"

"Didn't you start it?"

"Uncle, I really don't want to discuss that dream anymore!"

"Alright, I'll go out for food" Ying Huo said, then left the cave.

Not long after Ying Huo left her, Yin Feng then got up from the bed. Now, he was already able to move freely as his strength began to recover.

Yin Feng's gaze was now fixed on the silver crystal not far from him, he showed his best smile as he stared at the crystal that stored his mother's soul.

"I have to make an object that can hold the soul of the mother as soon as possible" he murmured softly.

After storing the silver crystal, Yin Feng then checked the contents of his spatial ring and sure enough, all the resources he had stored within the ring had vanished without a trace.

Not only had all the resources he had accumulated all along, even the meteor rock shards he had obtained from the previous auction had also disappeared.

"Bright..." Yin Feng let out a long sigh, despite feeling extremely upset and angry, yet Yin Feng was aware that he was currently unable to do anything.

Although he was unconscious for a long time, Yin Feng knew very well who was the cause of the loss of all the resources he stored in his spatial ring.

"You guys just wait, someday I will definitely repay you for what you did!"

Not too long ago, Ying Huo finally returned to the cave carrying fruits and soul crystals, then Ying Huo handed everything over to Yin Feng.

"Eat... After that use all these resources to recover your energy."

"Thank you, uncle."

Yin Feng grabbed one of the fruits that Ying Huo had brought, then ate it voraciously like someone who had never eaten a fruit before.

After his energy was filled, Yin Feng then fixed his sitting position, then absorbed the energy contained within all the soul crystals before him at this moment.

As for Ying Huo, he decided to leave Yin Feng alone, not wanting his existence to even interfere with the concentration of Yin Feng who was cultivating.

***

As the days passed, Yin Feng's condition completely recovered, as well as the Dantian point within him that had been filled with spiritual energy.

"Where are you after this?" ask Ying Huo.

"Stay at the original goal, which was to walk through this Xuanwu continent."

"Do you not want to go to the Sky continent?"

"I really want to go there uncle, because there is a grudge that I have to take back there. But not now, because I still want to travel the continent."

"Well, if you're ready you know where to look for me, right?"

Yin Feng nodded slowly. After saying goodbye to his uncle, Yin Feng began to continue his journey which had been delayed because of the actions of the gods.

"Empire Zhong, I'm coming!"
