“Black Mountain, you do look dashing!”
In the courtyard, Feng Qing’an greeted Black Mountain as it returned from the mountains. Seeing Black Mountain, whose body retained its ordinary wolfhound shape, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but acclaim.
Because this was a black wolf without a hint of heterochromia. However, its eyes shone in the night with a brilliant blue light, akin to blue gemstones.
Awooo-
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s praise, Black Mountain let out a triumphant howl. It was pleased with its current appearance, but its mood became even more elevated with its master’s praise.
“In this state, my parents might need some time to get used to you!” Feng Qing’an patted Black Mountain’s head, then instructed,
“Go look around in the vicinity. There should be a chasm to the spirit realm.
But it may not be visible now. It will only appear at midnight!”
Awooo-
Black Mountain nodded slightly, understanding Feng Qing’an’s meaning. It then hopped over the wall and began wandering around Feng Family Hill, which stretched nearly ten miles, in search of the possible chasm to the spirit realm.
After the transformation, its pitch-black fur, free of a single speck of impurity, allowed Black Mountain to blend perfectly with the night. When it hid in the shadows with its eyes fully closed, even under the moonlight, it was easy for people to overlook its existence.
However, although its fur could easily deceive mortal eyes, the overwhelming Demon Qi could not fool celestial beings.
Strolling leisurely, Black Mountain, wandering near Feng Family Hill’s ancestral temple, glanced at the temple not far from the dining hall. To its eyes, this structure shone faintly in the night, distinguished from its surroundings.
It thought of the towering Green Mountain deep in the mountains. But compared to the reverence and pressure that mountain bestowed upon it, the building before its eyes was absolutely insignificant.
With curiosity, Black Mountain timidly approached the temple of land. After getting used to the place, he jumped over the wall into the temple. Just as it entered the temple, Black Mountain saw a short old man leaning on a cane, looking at it with a stern expression,
“Black Mountain, what are you planning to do?”
Looking at the land god in front of it, Black Mountain let out a low growl, and drool dripped from its mouth.
“Black Mountain, behave yourself and back off!”
Feng Qing’an’s will descended timely. Seeing the entity Black Mountain was drooling over, he immediately reprimanded it to back off. This elder was too familiar.
Now, even without borrowing Black Mountain’s view, he could see the beings and objects imperceptible to mortals. Therefore, when traveling between home and school in the village, he often saw this cheerful old man gazing at the children.
Even at first sight, anyone would recognize him.
Listening to Feng Qing’an’s reprimand, Black Mountain let out a low whimper, glanced at the land god once more, and then hopped over the wall and left. It knew its limits.
Watching this, Feng Qing’an sighed in relief. Given Black Mountain’s awakened bloodline talent, if it found an unattended ghost and swallowed it, that wouldn’t really matter. But celestial beings were different- they could cause great turmoil.
“Black Mountain, this is the land god worshipped by the village. You must not disrespect him!”
Feng Qing’an taught Black Mountain that it must understand not everything could be swallowed.
Any celestial being who could receive incense offerings was generally a highly respected person or a benefactor while alive. Even if you had the ability to swallow them and weren’t afraid of the ensuing disaster, you still shouldn’t do it.
Hooo-
Black Mountain let out a whimper; it had taken note. Moreover, it wasn’t really trying to swallow the land god earlier, it was just its body’s instinctive reaction from its awakened bloodline. But it could restrain this impulse.
“Alright, it’s almost midnight. The chasm to the spirit realm should be appearing soon. Keep an eye out!”
Awooo-
Black Mountain let out a whimper and lifted its head. With a body size virtually similar to an ordinary wolfhound, it deftly leapt onto a residence’s rooftop, overlooking the village shrouded in the night, looking for the chasm to the spirit realm that Feng Qing’an referred to.
As for the possibility of Feng Qing’an tricking him, it never considered that, even though it learned about the existence of the chasm to the spirit realm through bloodline inheritance.
As midnight quietly approached, the Yin Qi between heaven and earth thickened. Amidst the Yin Qi seeping from the earth, a fissure too tiny for even the patrolling celestial beings to notice silently appeared outside the village.
But despite how feeble this chasm was, the moment it appeared, Black Mountain, who was keenly observing the surrounding changes, noticed it. For Black Mountain, the Yin Qi seeping out of the chasm was too conspicuous.
Huff-
Black Mountain let out an excited growl, jumping down from the housing and sprinting towards the chasm.
“Feng Qing’an, I’ve found you.”
At the Soul Cleansing Spring in the spirit realm, the singing ceased. Looking at the still tranquil and beautiful forest, the girl stomped her feet out of frustration. Suddenly, as if sensing something, her beautiful eyes sparkled. “If you won’t come find me, then I will come find you!”
Having said that, the girl summoned a move. The enchanting forest surrounding the Soul Cleansing Spring turned ethereal. The originally realistic trees now seemed like a painting.
A gust of Yin Wind blew through, and the vast forest flew up, obstructing the sky. Yet when it descended near the girl, within a few breaths, it changed, maintaining a size that fit her stature.
As the purple light flashed, the originally bold and lively girl was now dressed in a dignified and gorgeous purple palace dress. She displayed a magnificent combination of splendid looks, composure, grace, imposing presence, and heavenly demeanor.
“Feng Qing’an, I’m coming to find you!”
The corners of the girl’s eyes curved upwards, indicating her exhilaration. The land under her feet, apart from a spring and the surrounding flowers and grass, was filled with desolate earth and rocks. The luxurious grass and trees from before were nowhere to be found.
However, the girl didn’t seem to mind. Her gaze was fixed on a small mound with subtle undulations not far from her. From there, a different atmosphere was emitted, and she felt a familiar aura from it.
The girl moved lightly, revealing her bare jade feet. The originally dignified and graceful atmosphere was instantly disrupted. At this moment, she was like a girl in her older sister’s clothes, wanting to meet her friend privately.
“It’s so small!”
The girl walked up the small hill. When she found the origin of the faint, almost unnoticeable aura, she showed disappointment. It seemed impossible for her to pass through.
But after pondering for a moment, the girl extended her slender, jade-like finger and touched the almost invisible chasm. Subsequently, an overwhelmingly magnificent aura erupted from the palace dress she wore. The tiny chasm was instantly torn open, forming a wide entrance, several feet high..
