Chapter 249: Night of the Divine Feast
Back in the house, Qin Feng was in a daze. He thought about the dreams of the past two days and recalled the encounter with the frenzied disciple in the Myriad Sword Sect today.
An uneasy emotion surged within him.
Inside the room, Lan Ningshuang and the other three were all present. The table was set with food, but no one had touched their chopsticks.
They were all waiting.
Young Master, lets eat. Lan Ningshuang said with concern.
Qin Feng nodded, sat down, and picked up his bowl and chopsticks.
His thoughts still wandered elsewhere as he muttered, The mysterious black flames, capable of greatly increasing ones strength and enchanting the mind.
The voice seemed to burn like a raging fire, yet also resembled the cry of a baby.
Recollections of books about demons and ghosts he had read in the past flashed through his mind. Suddenly, he widened his eyes and found relevant records.
In a legendary miscellany, there was a kind of demonic beast described.
Covered in burning black flames, its cries sounded like a babys cry, sending chills down ones spine.
It could enchant the mind, stimulate the deepest desires within a person, amplify them, and then bestow even greater power.
Flame Gu, the source of that black flame is rumored to be the Flame Gu! Qin Feng shouted loudly.
Both Lan Ningshuang and Black Charcoal Head were startled by this sudden revelation.
The black flame. Is Young Master referring to the strange black energy that caused the disciple to go mad today?
But what is this Flame Gu? Why have I never heard of it? Lan Ningshuang asked curiously.
On the side, Xing Sheng also shook his head. Despite his experiences in battles and encounters with various strange phenomena, he had never heard of a demonic beast called Flame Gu.
Moreover, in the Great Qian Hundred Demon there was no mention of the Flame Gu.
Qin Feng explained, I once read in a legendary miscellany that in ancient times, gods and demons descended. With a simple gesture, they could have the power to destroy heaven and earth.
Among them, one particular god and demon was exceptionally powerful. When it opened its eyes, it was day; when it closed its eyes, it was night. His breath could freeze a thousand miles, and when he inhaled, it turned everything into molten gold.
Lan Ningshuang covered her mouth in astonishment. If such power truly exists, who in this world could be its opponent? Could the Flame Gu Young Master mentioned be this god and demon?
Qin Feng shook his head and continued, Although this god and demon was terrifying, in the legends, he ultimately perished at the hands of a sage with unparalleled abilities.
The corpse of the god and demon fell to the ground, and were eaten by demonic beasts who sensed their power until almost nothing remained.
One of the demonic beasts, known as the Flame Gu, was among them.
It gnawed on the hair of gods and demons, covered in unquenchable black flames. Its massive body resembled mountains, and with each step, it seemed as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth shaking.
The other demonic spirits, feasting on the corpses of gods and demons, also gained unparalleled power, bringing calamity to the world.
In that miscellany, the night was also referred to as the Night of the Divine Feast.
As Lan Ningshuang listened, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
Beside her, the old man and the old father quietly raised their wine glasses, their expressions unchanged. However, a subtle hint of gravity passed through their eyes.
Seeing the shocked expressions of Lan Ningshuang and the others, Qin Feng smiled and said, However, ancient legends are often distorted through time. By the time they reach later generations, they are often far from the original truth.
There might indeed be Flame Gu in this world, but its strength is certainly not as exaggerated as described in the book. As for gods and demons, well, they must be impossible to exist; otherwise, how could the human race survive?
Qin Feng turned to the old man and looked at him. The old man also looked back, silent, with a strange expression.
It was as if he was saying, Kid, you know nothing about this world.
Seeing the old mans expression, Qin Fengs smile froze a bit.
He swallowed and asked, Master, do you think the Night of the Divine Feast mentioned in that miscellany really happened?
How can an old man like me know the truth of such ancient matters? The old man took a sip of wine and casually replied.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief at his words. However, what came next made his nerves tense again.
However, the highly renowned Northern Ghost Head did indeed have a battle with one of the demonic spirits said to have a Divine Feast. After that battle, the land is still in ruins, devoid of vitality to this day.
Is it the battle that took place eighteen years ago when Lord Northern Ghost disappeared? Qin Feng exclaimed.
Qin Jianan, holding a wine glass, paused in his movements and looked at the old man.
Thats right. The old man looked calm, poured himself another glass of wine, and took a bite of food.
Qin Feng, shocked, couldnt believe that the Lord Northern Ghosts battle from back then was with one of the demonic spirits rumored to have participated in the Night of the Divine Feast!
In his astonishment, he raised a question, Although the miscellany doesnt provide specific descriptions of those demonic spirits, it is certain that each of them had unparalleled abilities.
But even so, their strength is still below that of gods and demons. If the legend of the Night of the Divine Feast is true, how could the human race have survived under the hands of gods and demons?
The old man dismissed it, Heh, even if the gods and demons in the legends were powerful, they ultimately perished at the hands of saints. Dont underestimate the people of the world.
And dont think that the battle in Jinyang City back then showed the full extent of the strength of Divine General and Northern Ghost.
They have too many things to consider every time they make a move. If they exert their full strength, the small city of Jinyang is not enough for them to play around with.
After taking a sip of wine, the old man spoke again, Do you know why reaching the third rank is also called the confirmation of the hegemony of heaven and earth?
Qin Feng shook his head.
It confirms their transcendence, the moment they touch the extraordinary.
Qin Feng was astonished at these words.
From the words of the old master, he learned two things.
Firstly, the Night of Divine Feasting was indeed true.
In ancient times, gods and demons descended, but they were said to be annihilated by legendary saints, and their bodies were then devoured by other demons.
Secondly, the realms above the third rank are even more formidable than he originally thought. His understanding of these existences is merely scratching the surface!
But no matter what, these things are still too distant for him.
What he cares most about at the moment is the confirmation of the hegemony of heaven and earth for his own wife, whether she can smoothly pass through!
Master, if the rumored Flame Gu Black Flame appears in the Myriad Sword Sect, will it have any impact on my wifes breaking thourgh to the third rank? Qin Feng looked uneasy.
Upon hearing this, both Lan Ningshuang and Black Charcoal Head looked over with worried expressions.
The Purple Thunder Divine Sword is forged from the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and is particularly sensitive to the aura of the sinister.
Its emergence is due to sensing the aura of the Flame Gu Black Flame.
And the Flame Gu Black Flame is a demon beyond the cognition of ordinary people, having feasted on the hair of gods and demons, something not tolerated by heaven and earth.
The red thunder you saw in your dream did not come for Liu Jianli, but most likely because of the Flame Gu Black Flame.
Its just that the red thunder faces too many restrictions to descend. Liu Jianlis confirmation of the hegemony of heaven and earth happens to provide it with an opportunity to manifest in this world. The old man Bai Li said calmly.
