If Feng Wu hadn't demonstrated her strength as a Semi-Divine medicine refiner, the spider would never have treated her as an equal. Feng Wu suddenly realized why this place seemed familiar. It looked a lot like the city she used to reside in in her previous life. The central area was the city center, and the seven beast kings' territories were seven districts around it.
When the spider asked her if she had remembered the map, she immediately said yes. The spider thought she was bragging, but she really remembered it. The layout was very similar to the city in her previous life. She just needed to travel along the borders of the districts, and she wouldn't offend those beast kings.
She was right. Nothing happened during her trip, and she reached the Peacock King's territory without incident. The Peacock King knew somebody had entered its territory.
However, the Dongsang Kingdom worshiped the Peacock King, and it could live with the Dongsang people walking on its land. Moreover, Feng Wu was giving off the energy of a Dongsang assassin, so the Peacock King ignored her.
It only turned around and went back to sleep. The Peacock King snored, which wasn't graceful at all.
Feng Wu sensed its intimidating energy, but she only smiled. She had already figured out a way to handle the Peacock King. The only thing she needed to take care of was that legendary Mr. Sakiya.
She would run into Dongsang assassins every now and then, but she looked like an assassin, just like them, so they didn't pay her much attention. Moreover, they usually covered their faces with masks, which made them even more unrecognizable. They could only tell one another by the energy they gave off.
All Dongsang people had that unique energy, and a person from the Junwu Empire couldn't fake it. Because of that, they weren't worried about spies. The Dongsang Kingdom was quite relaxed in that aspect. However, they shouldn't have been too confident about that since Feng Wu was an exception.
After entering the Peacock King's territory, she noticed much fewer assassins. The Immortal Spiritual Fruit tree grew somewhere near the crater of the volcano, so Feng Wu slowed down when she was close enough. Mr. Sakiya could be nearby.
She heard noise up ahead, and she concealed her energy. Hiding in the bushes, she looked through a gap in the leaves. A fire burnt violently on a cliff nearby; even the sky seemed to be burning.
The color was magnificent. Dense energy filled the air. Feng Wu could sense that the spiritual essence was much denser here.
On the contrary, the air was much thinner. To cultivate here, she would need to survive first. Cultivation came later. If she could live, it would only take her half the time to cultivate.
Feng Wu already felt light-headed after crouching here for a while. She realized sadly that this place wasn't suitable for cultivators below the Spiritual Overlord stage.
