Chapter 2963: The Drunken Old Man

Only the Book of Fate contains records about Luo Fu the Saint, but do they even know what the Book of Fate truly is?

Moreover, what exactly is the situation with the Book of Fate? Naturally, they could not simply give up.

"He wants to use Jieyin and Zhunti?"

"There's a possibility, but Jieyin and Zhunti aren't pure either—could they not realize they're being manipulated? If they don't even know this, they could never have lived this long!"

"That's true!"

Kong Xuan's arrival has nothing to do with the Book of Fate, but it's tied to the Phoenix Flower.

What is it about the Phoenix Flower that holds such allure?

Yaochi herself doesn't know—perhaps the Two Western Saints, if they came, could shed some light.

But this isn't what they themselves suspected; they must still do what needs doing and ask what needs asking, only then can they resolve their doubts.

Yet here, whether they're willing or not is itself a question.

Surely Luo Fu the Saint has his own thoughts—he simply doesn't wish to pursue matters further.

"You should think carefully!"

"If you want to do this, you must first establish yourselves firmly in Honghuang—if Honghuang offers you no foothold, leave at once!"

"Understood!"

Not just Kunpeng, but Yunzhongzi and Zhenyuanzi too have nearly done the same.

Their strength, from initially being extremely weak to now being immensely powerful, was not achieved in an instant—it took thousands of years.

Kunpeng is one such case.

Having left the Demon Clan, Kunpeng had no intention of ever returning.

"I suppose the thing you wish to obtain, Yunzhongzi, will soon be within your grasp—but before you get it, let me advise you: don't make the same mistake again."

"Where have I made a mistake?"

Yunzhongzi hadn't expected Kunpeng to say that—he wasn't foolish at all.

If anyone was foolish, Yunzhongzi thought, it was Kunpeng himself; if not for Kunpeng's actions, no one would ever have found their weaknesses and errors.

But upon arriving at Bombarding Lingshan, they finally realized how truly rich in spiritual energy this place was.

Still, Kunpeng told him not to stay long—once he remained here, his cultivation base might struggle to improve, for even though spiritual power was abundant, constant abundance was not good.

Without external interference, a place overflowing with spiritual energy becomes a soft nest, a grave for heroes.

"I understand this principle—I know it—but why hasn't Changsheng Emperor changed at all, even though he's stayed here the whole time? That makes no sense!"

"I don't understand any of this!" Kunpeng said coolly.

Actually, Kunpeng wasn't unaware—he simply didn't speak, for Changsheng Emperor was extraordinarily unique.

If he revealed anything about Changsheng Emperor, Luo Fu would never let him go—and this time, it wasn't just Changsheng Emperor; others had their own intentions too.

Though the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree was precious, it could not be compared to Changsheng Emperor.

The Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree could be recreated after its destruction, but Changsheng Emperor's existence could never be simply summarized—he was tied to the safety of the entire Honghuang.

"Enough. Once we get the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, we leave immediately—I also feel this place is terribly ominous!"

Yunzhongzi said this aloud, but inwardly he wished to stay—he was merely going along with Kunpeng's words.
