Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Grabbing Little Gold off his head, the little thing was still struggling in his hand, a strong urge and desire spreading out from it.
Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh, knowing that the little fellow was craving the Lightning Phoenix egg.
Although he had absorbed the essence within into his body, the eggshell was still intact with some juices left within. It could be compared to the most top Grade pills.
“Go eat if you want it, it is yours anyways. For us to be able to enter, you had a lot of credit…”
He casually smashed the purple eggshell with a sword, and then threw Little Gold onto the pieces of the eggshell. He heard cracking sounds as the pieces of the Lightning Phoenix egg disappeared into Little Gold’s stomach.
They didn’t have any other Protector Spirit Beasts, and the Dark Chill Tiger was only left with its soul. Thus they could only let this little fellow get all the benefits.
Chuxue’s eyes opened wide, looking over curiously, “Young Master are you okay? The situation just now was so scary. But you have already broken through to the seventh meridian? How did Young Master know that the Lightning Phoenix egg would be here?”
A chain of questions were all tossed out at once, not caring if he missed out on any. Zong Shou shook his head, punching a fist out at the nearby mountain rock, the surrounding area to trembled, stone shrapnel flying around.
This fist had a force of 1,500 kilograms, jumping over the power of a Mythic Master. The toughness of his bones and strength of his body was even stronger than rocks. The skin on his right fist wasn’t hurt at all.
As for that sharp pain when he used his strength, he didn’t pay much attention to it.
The only thing weird was that when he struck out, a purple lightning seemed to appear around his arm. His fist speed was a lot faster, and a lot heavier. What was the reason for that? 1
A bright light shone in his eyes, seeing that Chuxue was staring right at him with no sense of loosening up, he could only helplessly explain, “I just guessed it. Lightning birds loved cold and dark places to lay their eggs, so I guessed that the Lightning Phoenix would be similar. This Blood Valley only had this natural water vein that could make a cold spring..”
Zong Shou’s eyes turned towards the eye of the spring. Although the Lightning Phoenix egg was obtained by him, it was still boiling and rumbling, steam rising up within this small cave.
Only then did Chuxue seemed to understand, but her eyes were still filled with doubts, “But I heard that lightning and fire are born together, which was why in the Desolate Era the Lightning Phoenix loved to hang around the Fire Phoenix…”
While she was speaking, Zong Shou took out a Pine Pattern Wind Sword, digging away at the dirt around him.
He chiselled downwards to around ten feet. A red light shone out from within, dyeing this cave red.
Even Little Gold, who was busy eating the Lightning Phoenix eggshells, contracted in fear.
Chuxue looked over, seeing a red fire bead the size of a dragon’s eye quietly laying in the dirt. It was three inches away from the eye of the spring, making this cold spring water boil and becoming really hot.
The water was also why the surrounding dirt layer didn’t melt.
“This is a Blazing Glass Pearl?”
Chuxue’s eyes constricted. After all, she was a spirit master and knew how precious this item was. It exceeded spirit artifacts and could be used to create mythic treasures. Even the pearl itself could be regarded as a mythic treasure!
Witnessing two rare precious treasures within a day, no matter how slow Chuxue was, she couldn’t help but be shocked.
“This Blood Valley lacked water veins, but where this water vein gathered there was actually a hot spring, didn’t you suspect something? That’s why you must read more books!”
Zong Shou burst out laughing, using the Pine Pattern Wind Sword to fill back in all the dirt that he had dug out.
He was feeling more respectful towards that Day Wandering spirit master who found this item.
The words he used to convince Yin Yang that day weren’t made up by him. The small clues written in the ancient texts were all true.
That Day Wandering spirit master had indeed searched for clues from numerous ancient texts and deduced where the Lightning Phoenix laid its egg. Only then was he able to find it in such a secluded place after ten years of searching, strengthening his sect. Unfortunately, due to a lack of resources and talent, his cultivation was unable to increase, which was why he wasn’t able to make use of the spiritual energy flood to turn his sect one of the nineteen spirit houses, and they were wiped out instead.
Moreover, the reason that they were wiped out was also because of this Blazing Glass Pearl, as well as the half of the Phoenix pills that were left.
Chuxue regained her senses with much difficulty/ Looking at Zong Shou’s actions, she was startled, “Young Master, this Blazing Glass Pearl is a treasure, why are we burying it?”
“Although a treasure is good, our lives are more important. Have you not heard that holding a treasure is a sin? Xue’er, if you are able to take it out without people noticing, then I will allow you to dig it out.”
Smiling slightly, his hands didn’t stop, filling in the dirt while also burying over ten water element beast crystals in a small sealing formation.
Zong Shou made a hand sign, and instantly a blue light shone across and sealed up all the remaining fire energy.
There were ten years before the spiritual energy flood began, and digging this item out a few years from now wasn’t too late. 1

When done, he started meditating, not bothering with the frowning Chuxue.
When he was observing his soul, he noticed something weird within which he was unable to inspect deeply. It made him really curious and uneasy.
In just a breath’s time, Zong Shou’s will once again descended into his soul, outside that giant whirlpool.
Thirteen runes were all rotating outside the soul ocean. However, the most perfect one wasn’t the Luck Word, but the Thunderbolt Word.
It was continuously changing. Apart from Thunder and Thunderclap, sometimes it would turn into a flying bird. It was deep purple, lightning revolving around it, making it look really exquisite and beautiful. Its size was also swelling, directly obtaining the accumulated Xiantian energy in his body to strengthen itself.
When it had just entered the body it was similar in size to the Luck Word, but now it was three times its size.
Luckily this swelling situation was slowing down, but this Thunderbolt Word was slowly drawing closer to the whirlpool.
It was actually showing signs of merging into it!
“Is this talisman the true mental energy core of the Lightning Phoenix?”
Zong Shou was astonished. After all, he was a martial cultivator and had limited understanding towards spirit masters.
At this point he had no idea what he should do.
After hesitating for a short while, the talisman drew close to the center of the whirlpool, the true source of his soul. Zong Shou helplessly sent a thought over to probe it and come into contact with it.
He wanted to use his mind to control it and return it to its original spot. Just as it got close, a sudden explosion broke out by his ear.
Zong Shou was dazzled, the lightning current flashed. His soul was feeling light, like it had broken away from some sort of restraint.
When he regained his senses, he realized that he was flying in the clouds. A vast land was in front of him. Below him was the Blood Valley and the Demon Corpse Mountain.
“I am in the sky? How is that possible, for a martial cultivator to step into the clouds he has to be at least at the Ascended Realm! Am I dreaming? Why does this feel so real?”
Shaking his head vigorously, Zong Shou seemed to have thought about something. At that moment, his heart stopped.
Since he was travelling in the air, there was only one possible explanation.
…His soul was roaming the skies.
Looking down, he didn’t see his body. Instead, there were many feathers made up of soul power, as well as a pair of sharp claws. The sides of his body also had a pair of purple wings, and a thread of lightning was shining around him.
