Chapter 328: A Person Filled with Passion

His androgynous appearance often led others to mistake him for a woman, a misunderstanding he would patiently clarify unless the person approaching was particularly annoying.

Normally, he didn't mind being mistaken, especially not by someone like Feng Chaoyang.

But then, a flash of light in the void, visible only to Chu Liang, connected Luo Xiaoyong and Feng Chaoyang.

It was the Chain of Resentment!

Naturally, it was Chu Liang who did this.

Given Feng Chaoyang's aggressive nature, Chu Liang anticipated that he would be antagonized upon entering the hidden realm. Therefore, Chu Liang decided to test Feng Chaoyang's powers first.

Both Luo Xiaoyong and Feng Chaoyang had reached the peak of the fourth realm. They came here to retrieve the Phoenix Sheep's Fruit of Life, a crucial resource for breaking through to the Realm of the Five Elements.

This level of cultivation was exactly the upper limit that Chu Liang's Chain of Resentment could influence.

If they had reached the fifth realm, they would be at a higher cultivation level than Chu Liang, which meant that the Chain of Resentment would then be rendered ineffective.

As a flicker of light flashed, Feng Chaoyang's words suddenly sounded extremely irritating to Luo Xiaoyong. With a frown, Luo Xiaoyong flew over abruptly, raising his hand to deliver a palm strike!

"Who did you call a woman?" he shouted.

Feng Chaoyang quickly raised his hand and countered the strike. As a divine light flashed, a resounding bang echoed.

He flew backward as anger surged in his heart and he questioned, "So you're a man? If I mistook you, so be it. Why did you have to attack me? Aren't you being too domineering?!"

For reasons they couldn't comprehend, the sight of each other felt extremely repugnant, and they began fighting violently.

Luo Xiaoyong's foundational qi circulated, causing frost to condense in the air around him. As ice crystals fell, he thrust out his palm and a piercing cold instantly enveloped Feng Chaoyang.

For ordinary people, just this one palm strike would be enough to freeze them to death!

But Feng Chaoyang was clearly not an ordinary person. As the invasive cold encircled him, he immediately shook his body and enveloped himself in a layer of golden divine light!

Disciples of the Celestial King Sect mainly cultivated this divine light, which possessed various powers, including the ability to repel cold and heat. He swung a backhand punch, and the divine light shot out like a meteor!

Seeing this, Luo Xiaoyong did not dodge. Instead, he grasped at the air with his right hand, instantly conjuring a sword of ice in the void. The ice sword glittered with a cold light, aiming straight at Feng Chaoyang's fist.

Bang—

The radiant fist was thrust forward bit by bit, shattering the ice sword into fragments that flew in all directions. The shards embedded themselves with impressive force wherever they landed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Three shards of ice whizzed past the young lady Li Shiyi, who blinked in terror.

As the eleventh-generation disciple of the Endless Sword Sect, she had high cultivation aptitude. However, she was too young.

Being at such a young age, her family was too worried to let her venture out for more experiences. And so, she had little exposure to the martial world. Still, she had worked hard to earn the opportunity to venture in the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm.

Although she had mentally prepared herself, she still panicked when she arrived here.

She had heard that the world outside was dangerous and she now realized it to be true! These two individuals started fighting to the death over a disagreement?!

These two both have quite the temper. Is this what the martial world is like? Li Shiyi wondered.

The next second, the two actually unleashed their rage, and Luo Xiaoyong performed a divine technique by pointing to the sky.

Boom—

A thunderous roar filled the surroundings as the world changed!

The clouds above rapidly surged, and in an instant, the clear sky turned into a nightscape! The sun receded, and the moon took its place!

The alternation of the sun and moon happened in a single breath!

This was the Immortal Art: Stealing the Sky and Replacing the Sun!

Chu Liang, the instigator behind the scenes, was secretly startled by Luo Xiaoyong's divine technique.

This was clearly the legendary Immortal Art, Stealing the Sky and Replacing the Sun, capable of changing the celestial phenomena within a certain range. Luo Xiaoyong used this technique to make the sun and moon alternate over Phoenix Sheep Mountain. He did this because the techniques of the Greater-Yin Cult harnessed the power of moonlight, which meant that they would become stronger as the moonlight intensified.

By performing the immortal art, Stealing the Sky and Replacing the Sun, he essentially buffed himself.

Sure enough, as the moonlight shone down, Luo Xiaoyong's aura grew stronger, and the surrounding cold became even sharper. Despite the divine light enveloping Feng Chaoyang's body, frost still formed on his body.

He immediately flew back dozens of zhang, his sharp eyes fixed on the moon in the sky. With a wave of his left hand, he condensed the divine light into a bow. Then, with a stroke of his right hand, he drew a long arrow.

Drawing the bow to shoot the moon!

Feng Chaoyang had fully drawn the bow, but Luo Xiaoyong obviously wouldn't let him shoot. He immediately pointed a finger at Feng Chaoyang from afar!

Whoosh—

Greater-Yin Cult's exclusive secret technique, Lunar Deity's Finger!

Although this was not an immortal art, its power could rival one in certain situations.

As he pointed, the yang energy in Feng Chaoyang's body was violently driven out through his back. A surge of crimson-gold qi expelled from his spine and evaporated.

With the point of a finger, his yang energy was driven out, leaving only the yin energy remaining.

Feng Chaoyang enveloped his entire body with divine light, keeping his qi and blood boiling. However, as more yang energy was driven out, his strength was increasingly affected.

He gritted his teeth and endured the power unleashed by the technique, Lunar Deity's Finger, as he slowly drew the bow!

After a long standoff, he finally drew the bow fully and suddenly released the arrow!

Whoosh—

A golden light like a dragon shot out and struck the moon created by Luo Xiaoyong in mid-air, resulting in a resonant boom!

The moon shattered, revealing the real sky once more.

The rays of sunlight beamed down from the clear sky, causing Luo Xiaoyong's buff achieved through the moonlight to vanish. Yet he remained in peak condition.

However, Feng Chaoyang had been significantly weakened during the standoff. His arms trembled, and he struggled to keep his qi and blood boiling.

Whoosh—

Luo Xiaoyong's figure had already flown over, striking with his palm!

Feng Chaoyang could only raise his divine light in front of his chest, transforming it into a round shield as he prepared to take the palm strike head-on!

At the sudden moment when they were about to clash again, Luo Xiaoyong's palm stopped one chi away from Feng Chaoyang's chest. He frowned and looked at Feng Chaoyang weirdly.

What puzzled him was that he didn't seem to be that angry anymore.

Why did we start fighting? He wondered.

Feng Chaoyang also felt confused.

Huh? What just happened?

The two looked at each other, and Luo Xiaoyong withdrew his hand, saying, "Forget it, I will let it go. Just keep it in mind next time."

Feng Chaoyang scratched his head and responded, "We are good then."

Still, he felt somewhat confused. How did the situation go from him suddenly being beaten up to them being in total harmony?

The two, who had been fighting fiercely just moments ago, suddenly reconciled and stepped back, both looking confused.

Li Shiyi looked at them, appearing even more bewildered.

What's going on? How did they go from fighting to making up so quickly? Is this what it means to be a person filled with passion? The martial world is truly full of uncertainties, she thought.

Question marks seemed to pop out one after another from the young lady's head.

Chu Liang calculated the time. The effect of the Chain of Resentment seemed to last less than a quarter of an hour. It was likely due to both of them being at a high cultivation level, which somewhat weakened the effect.

Still, it was very useful.

This item was almost like a legendary artifact for inciting anger.

Feng Chaoyang looked at Chu Liang, feeling conflicted, then at Li Shiyi with an uncertain expression. Finally, he said, "Once we're in the hidden realm, you two should step aside and let me duel him first."

Chu Liang said with a grin, "I will gladly do so."

Just then, a thunderous explosion echoed, and a golden crack suddenly appeared in the sky above Phoenix Sheep Mountain. Crimson-gold flames then fell from the heavens, like a rain of fire!

However, the falling flames never reached the forest. Four disciples from the immortal sects intercepted them one by one, preventing any damage to the forest and villages below. This was one of the tasks assigned by their sect before they arrived.

Next, a huge golden curved horn emerged from the crack, its brilliance dazzling like a legendary weapon from the heavens!

Then the second horn came into view!

Boom...

A massive sheep's head, engulfed in crimson-gold flames, emerged from the sky. The head alone was as large as the peak of Phoenix Sheep Mountain!

Then the body emerged into view. As its enormous back appeared, it revealed a pair of horizontal wings! From the sheep's head downward, its entire body was covered in fiery feathers!

A sheep's body with phoenix wings!

It took a moment for the giant beast to fully emerge from the crack. Then, it soared into the sky, stretched its body, and let out a clear cry!

"Screech—"

The celestial beast, which was known as the Phoenix Sheep!

The Phoenix Sheep Mountain was reflected in its golden pupils, which burned with flames. Naturally, it noticed the disciples of the four immortal sects. Still, their presence didn't bother it. After all, it had given them permission to take the Phoenix Sheep's Fruit of Life.

Otherwise, who would dare to recklessly enter the hidden realm of a celestial beast?

After a brief pause, the celestial beast Phoenix Sheep spread its wings and flew westward.

Its destination was the West Sea.

As for Chu Liang and the others, their destination was the hidden realm that the beast had left behind. Since the crack would close soon, they had to enter the realm before the crack closed fully.

Although Chu Liang had entered various hidden realms before, this was the first time he came with the purpose of training and treasure hunting.

Before setting off, Chu Liang had specifically asked his esteemed teacher about the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm.

Sixty years ago, the head disciple was Daoist Yan. However, because Di Nufeng was closer to the Divine Phoenix bloodline, she was the one who went for this trial.

This situation was quite similar to the present one.

At that time, Di Nufeng had paused thoughtfully before saying, "The Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm? It's a very comfortable place. It's like going home. It's not an exaggeration to call it a paradise in the mortal realm. When you arrive, just have as much fun as you want like you're on a vacation."
