The Great Wild God - Chapter 170

Chapter 170 Green Flame Lotus Art
“This is the Azure Phoenix egg?”

Chen Xun took out the giant egg that was nurturing the baby bird from his pocket. He knew that this egg that looked no smaller than a basketball contained life essence and was purer than the Dove Roc egg that he and Ah Qing swallowed, but he did not expect it to be the egg of the legendary ancient desolate beast Azure Phoenix. He even thought it was the egg of a two-headed vulture and asked Old Kui Long doubtfully,

“Cang Lan, have you ever produced an Azure Luan in the past few thousand years? This egg has formed a embryo for many years. How could it be an Azure Luan egg? You won’t fool us, will you?”

“What you see is only a corner of the Western Wilderness, and only a tiny portion of the Cloud Continent. Although this Fang Heavenly Domain can’t be considered the Great Thousand Worlds, it can still be considered an outstanding figure in the Middle Thousand Worlds. Azure Phoenix is not uncommon. However, you are limited to Cang Lan and have never seen it before. But then again, before my body died, I only dared to curl up in this corner, not even Tu Shan … Kui Long sighed.

The peak of Tu Shan’s Absolute Mountain Range was covered by the Heavenly Flame Spirit Wind all day long. That was the forbidden region of cultivators. Even if a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert entered the Heavenly Flame Range, he would die in an instant.

It was precisely because of this that the Azure Water Rift Valley became the only passageway connecting the Western Wilderness and Cloud Continent within the Tu Mountain.

If it was said that even the Kui Dragon who was in good health had lingering fears towards Tu Shan, Chen Xun thought to himself that other than the Heavenly Flame Spirit Wind, there might really be some ancient beast hidden within Tu Shan’s Absolute Mountain Ridge.

At that time, Chen Xun took out two eggs from the Twin-Headed Vulture’s nest. One was identified by Su Qingfeng and the others as a Dove Roc’s egg, while the other was concealed in the Void Origin Pearl.

Chen Xun had always thought that the egg of the endopregnant bird was laid by a two-headed vulture, and the two-headed vulture had stolen the Dove Roc egg from elsewhere because it intended to nourish the life essence of the young bird after it was born. Who would have thought that he had guessed wrongly from beginning to end.

The egg that gave birth to the baby bird was actually the Azure Phoenix egg!

Kui Long had lived for more than twenty thousand years, so he naturally could not be mistaken.

Thinking about it carefully, Su Qingfeng once said that two-headed vultures liked to steal eggs of the same kind to hatch, and the life essence leaked out from this egg was even purer and more exuberant than that of the Dove Roc egg. How could it be a low-grade spirit egg like the Scaled Vulture?

Chen Xun had heard Old Kui explain in detail the wondrous uses of the Imperial Spirit Talisman and the Protector Spirit Beast. Chen Xun knew that the Imperial Spirit Talisman looked ordinary, but if it could really be refined into the spirit of the Azure Phoenix Fetal Bird, it would not be inferior to, or even much stronger than, an Earth-ranked magical artifact.

Chen Xun cultivated the Kui Long Yang Refining Technique, and he didn’t need to communicate with the Azure Phoenix Soul Breath in the future to comprehend the Azure Phoenix Dharma Form.

Kui Long had been hibernating in Azure Water for tens of thousands of years. Although he was not known to the world, he could be said to be as familiar with this land as the palm of his hand.

Regardless of whether it was Qing Yangzi’s Dragon Binding Art or the Su Clan’s Cave Profound Scripture, they were not very compatible with Su Tang’s divine soul essence. Therefore, Su Tang had not even started to cultivate her bloodline divine ability until now.

The hatching of the Azure Phoenix Fetal Bird was not an easy task.

Back then, when the Kui Dragon’s body was destroyed, a strand of divine soul was separated to conceive the Xuan Leopard. Ah Qing had been pregnant in her mother’s stomach for three to four years, but it was still far from ripe. In the end, Chen Xun had to take it out of the dead leopard’s body by laparotomy.

Ah Qing was born with a weak soul and life force, so her only hobby in the first two years of life was sleepiness. After eating the pigeon roc eggs, she replenished some of her soul and life force, revealing her lofty beast king appearance.

Even so, if he told others that Ah Qing was from the Kui Dragon bloodline, he would probably laugh off the teeth of countless people.

The two-headed monster vulture stole the Azure Luan egg back. It had been hatched for an unknown number of years, and Chen Xun then placed the Azure Luan egg into the Void Origin Pearl to absorb spiritual energy. After the Void Origin Pearl entered the depths of his soul, he threw the Azure Phoenix egg into the Little Cosmos Pouch. However, the Azure Phoenix egg remained motionless and did not look like it was about to hatch.

Chen Xun had planned to use this Azure Phoenix egg to break open his profound aperture in case he failed to refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.

Hearing Old Kui say that the Azure Phoenix was a bird of fierce flames and needed to absorb the Profound Yang Spiritual Qi to hatch it, Chen Xun knew that the two-headed vulture had stolen the Azure Phoenix egg and placed it in the tree nest in the Frost Lake Stone Ground. The reason the Azure Phoenix embryo did not die was because its vitality was strong enough, so there was no chance of hatching it.

Only a handful of Xuanyang Spirit Acupoints could be found in Cang Lan, and the Xuanyang Spirit Acupoint beneath the valley of Jade Pillar Peak had collapsed.

Apart from Su Tang bringing the Azure Phoenix egg back to the Azure Water College and using the Xuanyang Spiritual Cave of the Dragon Binding Mountain to incubate, there was no other better way to call the Azure Phoenix Fetal Bird out.

After the emergence of the Azure Phoenix Fetal Bird, it would still need to expend a lot of energy and resources before it could truly grow into a young couple and let out a phoenix cry. As far as Cang Lan was concerned, only the Cang Lan College had the strength to do so.

*********************

Chen Xun pinched his sweat as he watched Su Tang condense a drop of flashing spiritual light from his fingertips, containing the blood of his divine soul and fate essence, into the Azure Phoenix egg along with the Imperial Spirit Talisman.

If the sacrifice failed, the Imperial Spirit Talisman would not be able to successfully merge into the soul of the embryonic bird, and the power of the backlash would be enough to cause Su Tang to fall back to the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm.

After being nourished by Su Tang’s fate essence blood, the azure phoenix egg, which hadn’t moved for a long time, suddenly burst out with a ball of multicolored light. In the blink of an eye, the multicolored light retracted and a phantom azure bird with a long tail appeared in front of the azure phoenix egg. It stood in the midst of the intense flames and roared towards the sky.

This was an abnormality formed by the Azure Luan Divine Soul, and it was also an Azure Luan Dharma Form.

Although Chen Xun didn’t need to cultivate any other profound Dao techniques after cultivating the Kui Long Yang Refining Technique, the chance to see the Azure Phoenix display its Dao Form in this lifetime was truly limited. Once this opportunity was missed, only Su Tang, who was connected to the Azure Phoenix’s heart, could see the abnormality formed by the Azure Phoenix’s divine soul.

Chen Xun didn’t want to miss this opportunity either. He sat cross-legged and meditated. He meditated quietly and comprehended the profound Dao Insight contained within the Azure Phoenix Divine Soul Alien Form. An enlightenment rose in his chest.

Chen Xun had practiced a limited number of fire-type dao techniques. Apart from the Flame Impact Technique, he had also comprehended a method to convert the Profound Qi of Heaven and Earth into the Profound Yang Fire from the Nine Beasts Yang Refining Furnace.

He should carve these two Dao Spiritual Arts on his divine soul, verify and comprehend them with the Azure Phoenix Divine Soul, and try to evolve a new Fire Spiritual Arts.

Only then did Chen Xun deeply realize the value of the Heavenly Diagram Form. As long as he evolved a new spirit art in the right direction, the enlightenment that the Azure Phoenix Divine Soul Form gave him would become clearer and more throbbing …

Su Tang completely fused the Imperial Spirit Talisman into the Soul of the Embryonic Bird. The abnormality formed by the Azure Phoenix Divine Soul also disappeared, and the new spirit art Chen Xun had evolved stopped.

He then formed a Kui Dragon Form between his divine souls and swallowed the newly formed Spiritual Arts in one mouthful. A moment later, a new secret talisman dragon scale appeared in the right axil of the Kui Dragon Form, like a cyan flame sapling carved on the dragon scale.

Chen Xun opened his eyes and saw Su Tang looking at him curiously. “What’s wrong?” He asked.

“What did you comprehend?”

Chen Xun stretched out his hand and released a wisp of azure flame for Su Tang to see, and said, “It’s just this small flame.”

“In such a short period of time, you actually managed to comprehend the Cyan Flame Lotus Art. Compared to your aptitude, your perception is really much stronger …” The old Kui Long’s voice was also shocked by Chen Xun’s perception.

“What’s the use of a small flame?” Chen Xun asked with a smile.

Kui Long waved his hand to summon a broken blade from the inner hall and handed it over, “Try the power of the Cyan Flame Lotus Fire …”

The broken blade looked like it was made of a kind of iron similar to the Divine Mark Cold Iron. Chen Xun flicked the green flame onto the broken blade, and in the blink of an eye, the broken blade melted into a small hole, and the unextinguished green flame landed on the ground of the Copper Palace.

The ground of the Copper Palace was protected by Spiritual Light. However, when the green flames landed on it, it seemed as if it wanted to break through the Spiritual Light and directly melt the Copper Palace.

The magic power contained in the strand of azure flame was limited, and it was quickly extinguished. However, this scene shocked Chen Xun and Su Tang endlessly.

Although the Void Origin Secret Hall had only recovered its 10th or 12th restriction, and it was impossible for it to be broken by a strand of azure flame, from the fact that it had melted through the broken blade and was about to break through the phenomenon of protecting spiritual light, it was called Chen Xun. Su Tang realized that the azure flame lotus art was extraordinary.

“The flames produced by the Heaven and Earth Dao Art are divided into ninth grade. The Profound Yang is the last. The Cyan Flame Lotus Flame is not ranked among the upper middle grade, but it is also extraordinary. The secret hall originally had several types of Cyan Flame Lotus Flame Dao Art, but they have already lost their rank. You can only rely on yourself to comprehend them.” Kui Long said emotionally, as if he was still immersed in the glory of the Void Origin Secret Hall.

After Chen Xun entered the Reincarnation Realm, apart from the Lightning Sound Sword Technique, he also lacked other divine abilities. He hadn’t expected that he would be able to comprehend the Cyan Flame Lotus Technique from the Azure Phoenix Divine Soul Alien Phase. This trip was truly worthwhile. However, the Azure Flame Lotus Fire looked a little too small.

Su Tang put the Azure Phoenix egg into her pocket. When she took it back to the Azure Water School to incubate, Chen Xun patted his butt and stood up. He said to Old Kui, “I took in a few disciples on your behalf and inherited your mantle. Do you have any greeting gifts for me to bring out to them?”

After Daoist Greenwood, Zong Tu, and the others entered the Reincarnation Realm, they had the Nine Qi Yang Refining Technique to cultivate, but none of them had any magical artifacts in their hands.

The Azure Water School even priced the worst grade magical artifacts at 20,000 to 30,000 talisman coins. High-grade goods that were slightly purer in quality were often priced at over 100,000 talisman coins.

Even if the black python was squeezed dry, Daoist Greenwood and the others wouldn’t be able to gather a few advanced magic tools.

“You can’t push your luck like this,” Kui Long felt a deep headache. He knew that Chen Xun wouldn’t be able to easily get rid of it. He also spread out his hands and said like Chen Xun, “There are only a few dozen pieces of scrap metal left in the Second Floor of the Reincarnation Palace. If you want to catch your eye, just take them all …”

With Kui Long’s words, Chen Xun was naturally not courteous. He walked into the second floor of the Reincarnation Hall with Su Tang and picked out a dozen magical artifacts that weren’t that damaged. The profound armor was put into the Little Cosmos Sack.

These magical artifacts and profound armor were all incomplete, but the profound talismans and formations carved on them had not been completely destroyed, and injecting spiritual energy could still unleash ten to twenty percent of their magical power. It’s better to have than nothing.

Moreover, if these damaged magic tools were given to Daoist Greenwood and Grandpa Zongtu, they could gather enough materials to repair them.

Otherwise, even if they had sufficient forging materials, they wouldn’t be able to exchange them for real high-grade goods from the Azure Water College.

After finishing these things, Chen Xun saw that Old Kui really didn’t have anything to blackmail him with. He took out the Nine Prime Ministers Spirit Flag and told Old Kui his real plan, “A group of mad dogs surrounded him. If they want the best way out of the encirclement, they will throw a bone out and let them frantically snatch and bite …”

Hearing Chen Xun compare the Su Clan to a mad dog, Su Tang shot him a sideways glance.

Chen Xun rubbed his head and smiled. He asked Old Kui, “What do you think? Su Tang brought the Azure Phoenix egg back to the Azure Water College, and it should be able to let the old fox from the Su Clan settle down for a period of time. The appearance of the Kui Long Tian Tu should also be able to attract the attention of others …”

What Chen Xun lacked right now was time.

Su Tang brought the Azure Luan egg back to the Academy and hatched a spirit beast that was naturally her guardian. To the Azure Water Academy and the Su Clan, they would also treat the Azure Luan as the treasure of the Academy and the Su Clan. This way, they would calm down and help Su Tang hatch the Azure Luan.

Even if the old fox from the Su Clan still had doubts, Chen Xun guessed that he would not think of extending his tentacles into the wilderness for a short period of time. After all, the Su Clan would not be able to digest higher-grade treasures in a short period of time.

After acquiring the Azure Phoenix, the Su Clan might not want to force the Kui Long Tian Tu to stay in Cang Lan anymore.

“Right now, this is the only plan I can try.” Kui Long took over the Nine Phase Spirit Flag and said sadly, “Before the Nine Phase Spirit Flag was destroyed, you can refine our magic into it. The Nine Phase Profound Evolution Grand Formation can even cause fear in the hearts of the Six Armed Demon Sovereign. I never thought that it would be reduced to a prop for others to use tricks today …”
