Am I... still alive?
Fei Jun felt a warm sensation throughout his body amidst the haze. He had heard that after death, one traverses the path of Yin and Yang in a chilling coldness, after all, the aura from the Ghost Army of the Capital City was exactly like that chill. So, why did he, who should have turned into a Yin Spirit, feel an intense heat all over? Could it be due to his own bloodline?
The feeling was indescribably comfortable, like the distant memory of embryonic bliss. Huh? How could he remember that? Which child can recall the sensations from within their mother's womb?
Upon opening his eyes, he was utterly stupefied.
In the midst of those flames, the vast Vermilion Bird seemed to occupy the heavens, and below it, he lay enveloped, as if reborn and reconstructed.
Why?
Fei Jun didn't need to question, he knew he had been chosen by the Vermilion Bird. But wasn't it said that those who failed would be forsaken by the Four Spirits?
