Spirit Vessel Chapter 1176: Unattainable

Chapter 1176: Unattainable

This scene was shocking since the person sitting on the bright stone must be Grand Saint Nuwa, the strongest during Time Immemorial.
Five-colored Spirit Stone ranked first among the eighteen types, a hundred times more precious than Soul Spirit Stone and several thousand times more so than a drop of grand saint blood.
This was the ultimate treasure in the world, superior to saint artifacts.
It consisted of the five elements - gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It gained their power, brimming with spirit energy, life, and laws.
It was also known as the “heart of the grand dao” and the “root of heaven and earth”.
‘Can the saint be alive? Sealed within the stone?’ Feiyun couldn’t stay calm, hoping that this phenomenon was true.
He thought about Witchcraft Goddess who was frozen for ten thousand years. Could something similar be happening here?
Of course, Time Immemorial was long ago. He would be the first to not believe in her survival. However, it became a different story if she had sealed herself with the five-colored stone.
There was no need to do so for the sake of preserving the body. After all, a grand saint’s body was eternal in the first place.
‘This visual phenomenon proves the existence of a five-colored stone somewhere. That girl might be Grand Saint Nuwa. if she is still alive, she will be able to stop the incoming calamity.’ He clenched his fists.
‘Where is this stone? Space? An abyss? The ocean? No, it must be somewhere the saint had been to before, part of her legends.’ He speculated.
‘Not this temple because other saints would have noticed the stone in the past, it wouldn’t be my turn.’
He frowned, hoping that this was an actual possibility since the future seemed hopeless. Unfortunately, this five-colored stone could be anywhere at this point since the world had changed drastically.
Even a saint wouldn’t be able to find it since it could be hidden anywhere at this point.
A melodious song from a pipa interrupted his rumination, as pleasant as a gentle spring or the chirping of birds.
A woman in white sat nearby for who knows how long? Her delicate fingers seemed to be crafted from jade, dancing on the pipa strings.
“You’ve been here for a while?” Feiyun asked with a smile.
“Yes, I saw that you were comprehending the dao and didn’t want to disturb.” Dongfang Jingyue was only five steps away from him.
Her appearance and aura were virtually identical to Shui Yueting’s. However, he saw no emotion from Shui Yueting; she was as cold as her statues.
Dongfang Jingyue, on the other hand, had a subtle tenderness and an affinity that made people want to get close.
Ever since he knew that his past life might have been fabricated by a powerful cultivator, he felt bad about how he had treated Dongfang Jingyue. He knew that she harbored feelings for him.
Previously, he thought that she was actually Shui Yueting. This was no longer the case after actually meeting the saint.
He had no reason to avoid her now; it was time to treat her better.
“Why are you in Chaos City alone?” He asked.
“Travel is a part of learning, how can one grow stronger without ample experiences?” She responded.
“This doesn’t sound like something you would say. If you told me that you were here for sightseeing, I might have believed you.” He shook his head.
“I... know a secret.” She gritted her teeth and mentioned something.
“What is it?” He thought that this must be the reason for her presence at the temple.
“Grand Saint Nuwa might be a half-demon.” She said.
“How do you know?” He knew about this since Shui Yueting told him.
Nonetheless, he was curious about Dongfang Jingyue’s knowledge regarding this matter.
“Don’t ask, just think about how the curse can be broken.” She said, having no idea that he had broken the curse already and how half-demons could reach Heaven’s Emergence during Time Immemorial.
“I see, you’re here to help me find a way to break the curse, traveling all alone for my sake.” He smiled and said.
“Nonsense, I’m here for the ruins from the saints, it’s for dao comprehension.” Her face was hidden behind a veil but her eyes said it all.
“Okay, it’s because you knew that I’m engaged to Li Suhong so you’ll only be a concubine, that’s why you came here out of anger, wanting to sever ties with the rest of the world and become a nun, but then the temple told you that there is still a bastard in your heart and mind so they didn’t accept you. You didn’t want to accept it so you kept on staying here.” He joked.
“How shameless... if I want to become a nun, the abbot will certainly accept me.” She said, feeling a bit happy about his change of attitude.
In the past, he was always cold regardless of all the things she did for him. Now, he seemed to be actively pursuing her.
“So who’s the bastard?” Feiyun asked.
“I do have someone in my heart, but it’s not you.” She knew a certain principle regarding men - they always cherish what they don’t have. It was best not to agree to his advances so easily or he wouldn’t cherish her.
“Who then?” He was surprised to hear this.
“I’m not telling you.” She became delighted to see his anxious expression, like a mouse that had just stolen some honey.
He didn’t expect Dongfang Jingyue to be telling lies so he answered earnestly: “That’s fine, I don’t mind. But aren’t you curious as to how I know you’re here?”
“A coincidence, I’m sure.” She pretended to be clueless.
“I’ve been searching for you.” He said.
“Oh? Didn’t you always avoid me in the past? You hated me and called me an unlucky star.” This made her happier but she didn’t reveal it.
“That’s all in the past, let’s not dwell on it. I have a question, you had dreams of being called Shui Yueting, right? Not Dongfang Jingyue.” He asked.
Her expression became frozen afterward.
