Chapter 997: Shiva

Chapter 998: Shiva

Feiyun suggested: “Why don’t we team up and kill her?”

Grandpa Bi shuddered after hearing this: “Absolutely not, the old woman’s cultivation is scarier than your imagination, she’s also extremely cruel and vile. Falling into her hand is worse than death.”

Why is he so afraid? Was he captured by her before?

“Who is she?” Feiyun was slightly surprised. The old man even stole from Firmaments so he wasn’t cowardly at all.

“Her real name… let’s not mention it, but the heretical faction calls her ‘Shiva’. She’s one of the two territory lords of Godfiend, Shiva and Devil Ancestor.”

“A pair of husband and wife?” Feiyun smiled.

“Non-nonsense! They’re both women. Shiva is Devil Ancestor’s daughter, she’s in charge of that territory right now while her mother has undergone isolated cultivation for ten thousand years now. The latter is one of the three heretical monsters of Sixth Central, no one dares to attack her territory.”

“She’s that busy? She hasn’t married anyone yet? Well, I guess it’s hard to marry when you look like that…”

“Look like that my ass! Shiva used to be the prettiest cultivator in Sixth Central, her suitors can line up from Cloud Island to Galaxy Mansion! You don’t even know, geniuses go to Godfiend just to steal a glance of her… how nostalgic.” The old man recalled wistfully.

Feiyun stared at the old woman again and couldn’t see how she used to be the prettiest in the dynasty. He sighed and said: “Half a lifetime of beauty, half a lifetime of white hair, how pitiable.”

Beauty didn’t last forever. The most charming figure would be hunched one day. The silkiest black hair would turn white and fall.

As one grew old, they would fondly recall their golden days – wearing extravagant robes and dresses, competing with their love rivals…

“Young one, people say that the immortal path is not one for love, beauties are merely ephemeral, the only one thing worth searching for is the grand dao. However, there are things worth valuing. You can wait but can they? Once they grow old, they’ll hide from you even if they still like you.”

Feiyun thought about Dongfang Jingyue’s dejected appearance as she was leaving. Was I too cold to her?

He then thought about Nangong Hongyan who was afraid of becoming old the most. Now, only ashes were left of her.

“Maybe you’re right…” A hint of sadness appeared in his eyes as he realized that he might not be as carefree as he thought.

“Cough.” The old woman relied on her stick to walk toward the meteorite. Her dress and white hair fluttered to the wind.

The other experts all paid attention to her. Several of them retreated, not wanting to stay close. They could see that she wasn’t one to be trifled with.

“Why-why is everyone here… cough… there is a treasure on top of that meteorite, getting it will allow you to reach the grand dao.” She smiled and told those nearby before coming closer.

“Oh? Not bad at all!” When she was several hundred meters away, she crouched down and picked up a large dragonscale from the soil, about as big as a dustpan. It had a blue glow and was rather thick.

It could be refined into a draconic armor far superior to regular Heaven’s Emergence armors.

Many spectators had greed in their eyes because the scale was rather valuable.

“She’s about to dig a pit.” Grandpa Bi furrowed his brows and whispered.

An old daoist walked over, trying to act righteously while holding a green whisk. He said: “Excuse me, I was the one who blew this scale off the evil dragon. It actually belongs to me.”

The old woman stroked the scale then glared at the daoist: “Natural treasures belong to the virtuous, there is not a first-come-first-served issue.”

A different daoist came over and shook his head: “True, but in this case, since we got it off the dragon, it belongs to us.”

“Sounds like you wish to rob this old woman.” She sneered, her face was awfully close to the ground due to her hunchback.

“Of course not, like you said, treasures belong to the virtuous.” The man with the green whisk stroked his beard and said: “I am Green Pine Venerable of Prestige Watch, I’m sure you have heard of it before.”

Green Pine Venerable and Mystical Venerable were laughing at the thought of an old woman keeping the scale. Stating their sect should be enough for her to obediently hand it over.

Prestige Watch was an immemorial sect ranking fifth in Vastsky. Only a few powers such as Firmaments or the territory lord were stronger than them.

“Ah, two venerables from Prestige Watch, it is a pleasure. Fine, I will give this scale to you two under one condition.” She said.

“What?” Green Pine frowned, not wanting to negotiate.

“Lead the way, the treasure on that meteorite will be mine, you may have the scale.” She said.

“You want us to be the vanguard? What a great idea.” Green Pine was livid, thinking that she was playing with them.

“Cough, you can choose not to go but… that will end with death. I advise you to pick the right choice because you only live once, don’t mess it up.” She said.

The two venerables sneered after hearing this.

“I send you on your way then since you’re so suicidal.” Green Pine formed a sword ray with two fingers and slashed it forward, creating a half arc.

The woman simply shook her head and sighed. She raised one finger in the direction of Mystical Venerable, sending a red character print towards him. It had 180 serpent souls coiling around it.

The print destroyed his sword and sent him flying before suppressing him. The serpent souls then crawled around him, some around his neck and others entered his robe…

He was frightened and didn’t dare to move: “Serpent Seal… you’re… you’re Shiva…”

He wanted to cry because he was so unlucky to cross her. Green Pine Venerable tried to escape but he saw the woman suddenly appearing before him.

He nearly fell to the ground and felt a chill coursing through his body. He cupped his fist and stammered: “Gre-greetings, Shiva.”

The spectators in the distance were shaken too, not expecting someone of her level to come. They thought about leaving since they were afraid of Godfiend Territory.

“Didn’t expect you to recognize me.” She coughed.

“I was too blind to see at first, please show mercy and forgive us.” Green Pine had a pained expression.

“Am I that scary? Don’t worry, it’s not like I’ll eat you.” She said.

“I…” Green Pine felt his soul wanting to escape.

She took out two black talismans, seemingly made from iron sheets. The characters were out of control. The moment they showed up, lightning arcs appeared around them.

“Consider these featherguard talismans as gifts.” She said.

Green Pine suddenly became happy. He had heard about these talismans before – they were among the best from Godfiend. Even a Grand Paragon might not be able to break it.

“Thank you, My Lady, Thank you!” He bowed to show his gratitude.

“Not so fast.” She let out a friendly smile and added: “Put it on your forehead and help me get the treasure, you can thank me afterward.”

Green Pine turned pale after hearing this: “Well… My Lady, that meteor is too much for weaklings like us, moreover, moreover there is that evil dragon too…”

He no longer wanted to accept the talismans after hearing her suggestion.
