Chapter 1099: Nine Transformation Nirvana Scripture, Huang Mountain Ruler And Her Sincerity

“So you’re begging me?” Chu Kuangren said.

“I am.” Huang Mountain Ruler nodded.

As a divine beast, why would she beg a mere human? She would never have imagined herself doing this in the past.

Yet now, she had to, and she did it wholeheartedly and willingly. She knew that Sycamore Mountain would be at its weakest after the battle, leaving almost no resources for them to make a comeback.

Even she was heavily injured, and it would at least take her a few thousand years to recover back to her prime. The battle was a fatal blow to Sycamore Mountain, and it would only attract more unwanted challenges from other forces.

Cultivators had always been attracted to divine beasts ever since ancient immortal times as their blood could be used to refine into pills or craft talismans. Moreover, their bones and skin could be used to forge weapons. If one could tame a divine beast into a mount, it would also increase the tamer’s reputation.

Therefore, Sycamore Mountain desperately needed a powerful person to deter challenges and fend off those factions who had their eyes on the divine beasts.

It was the reason she wanted Chu Hong to return to Sycamore Mountain. Other than Chu Hong’s talents and potential, it was also because of Chu Kuangren.

With him as Chu Hong’s support, no one would dare to make a move on Sycamore Mountain.

“I can’t make this decision for her.”

“What’s your thought on this, Lil Red?” Chu Kuangren looked at Chu Hong.

He wanted her to make the decision herself.

“I want to be with you, brother.”

Chu Hong showed no hesitation at all.

“You heard her.”

“Chu Hong, there’s a secret codex passed down from the ancient times back in Sycamore Mountain, and it’s perfect for a pure-blooded Godly Phoenix to cultivate it. No one in Planquilon Immortal World is fit to cultivate the secret codex except you.”

Chu Hong was a little moved by that.

Indeed, she still lacked a set of cultivation techniques for her Godly Phoenix cultivation. Back at the mountain, all she cared about was awakening her bloodline and had completely forgotten about her cultivation.

“On top of that, I promise I won’t make you do anything you don’t like. You can also move around freely,” the Huang Mountain Ruler said when she noticed Chu Hong’s interest.

Move around freely? It would be the same as not going back.

Chu Hong blinked as she thought about it.

Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes slightly as he realized what the Huang Mountain Ruler wanted to achieve with Chu Hong.

She wanted to use his name to protect Sycamore Mountain.

‘Interesting.’

“Um…” Chu Hong was having second thoughts.

Chu Kuangren noticed her hesitation, so he said, “Let’s head back to Sycamore Mountain first.”

The Huang Mountain Ruler’s eyes shone upon hearing his words. There must still be a chance to turn things around.

“Great.”

Huang Yinghong and Qing Feng helped Huang Mountain Ruler up before they prepared to head back to Sycamore Mountain. Those who surrendered to the Dragon Rulers earlier also came back to her side.

The Huang Mountain Ruler did not blame them for abandoning her earlier because Sycamore Mountain took a heavy blow, and it desperately needed manpower to rebuild.

Of course, she remembered every one of them in her heart and swore to never trust them with important matters in the future.

…

The Huang Mountain Ruler and the others were welcomed by the familiar scene of Sycamore Mountain when they returned. It felt like it had been a long time since they were here.

The battle between the dragon and the phoenix had cost them too much.

Some of them even thought of not coming back.

“It’s great to be back,” someone exclaimed.

After settling down, the Huang Mountain Ruler led Chu Hong and Chu Kuangren to a cave. The cave contained a massive amount of fire energy, and any common cultivators would be burnt to a crisp so much as getting close.

Only the phoenixes, a fire-attributed divine beast, could be spared from its fiery might. Since Chu Kuangren mastered the Red Lotus Phoenix Flame, the level of fire energy was nothing but a warm breeze on his face.

They walked into the cave filled with boiling magma.

“This is where the leylines of Sycamore Mountain intersect. Only the Mountain Rulers are granted access to cultivating here,” the Huang Mountain Ruler said.

She then brought Chu Hong and Chu Kuangren to the deepest part of the cave.

Inside stood a red stone tablet with countless mystical scriptures carved onto it.

“Oh, is this the secret tome you mentioned earlier?”

“Yes, it is.”

Chu Kuangren glanced at the tablet while using Lil Ai to analyze it. After a quick scan, the background of the tablet was presented to him

“Nine Transformation Nirvana Scripture!” Chu Kuangren muttered the name softly.

By then, Chu Hong had already gone up to the tablet and unconsciously placed her hand over it. Then, the stone tablet shook and started to resonate with Chu Hong’s bloodline. Countless mystical scriptures surged into her mind.

She quickly sat down with her legs crossed and accepted the inheritance from the secret tome.

A while later, she opened her eyes.

“It’s a very mystical Immortal Scripture. It really does fit me, but unfortunately, it’s incomplete,” Chu Hong said with a sigh and shook her head.

Indeed, the Nine Transformation Nirvana Scripture was not the complete but the fragmented version. Only the contents of the first five lines were available, and the remaining four had nothing on them.

“At least this was created by a powerful Fusion Dao Immortal,” Chu Kuangren lamented.

With his high level of cognizance, he had memorized everything about the Nine Transformation Nirvana Scripture and even started to gain insight into most of it.

It was as mystical as the Tushan Scripture and Jade Pool Immortal’s Scripture.

“All the past Mountain Rulers gained insights from this Nine Transformation Nirvana Scripture. Unfortunately, no matter how much insight they gained from it, they could not cultivate it because this is meant for a pure-blooded Godly Phoenix,” the Huang Mountain Ruler said to Chu Hong.

There were nine transformations written in the scripture, and only the pure-blooded Godly Phoenix could start cultivating the first. The second required the second awakening of the pure-blooded Godly Phoenix bloodline, and so on.

The nine transformations could only be cultivated by a Godly Phoenix who had gone through the ninth awakening, and the conditions for it was extremely harsh.

Sycamore Mountain had failed to produce any pure-blooded Godly Phoenix for many years, let alone one who awoke the bloodline nine times. Even in the complete Immortal World, a divine beast who awoke its bloodline seven times was considered scarce.

“Now that you have seen this Nine Transformation Nirvana Scripture, I wonder if you would reconsider my request, Master Chu,” the Huang Mountain Ruler asked Chu Kuangren.

“Aren’t you afraid that we’ll say no after you give it to us?” Chu Kuangren asked.

“No matter your answer, I am planning to give it to Chu Hong anyway because she’s the one and only pure-blooded Godly Phoenix Sycamore Mountain has after so many years,” the Huang Mountain Ruler said.

“Hah! I’m surprised by your sincerity,” Chu Kuangren said with a chuckle.

Then, he looked at Chu Hong and said, “Lil Hong, do you want to continue to be Sycamore Mountain’s Phoenix Maiden?”

“I’ll follow whatever you say, but I want to be by your side.”

“Mm.” Chu Kuangren nodded.

He turned to the Huang Mountain Ruler and said, “Lil Hong can continue to be the Phoenix Maiden of Sycamore Mountain, but she will be by my side. You have no control over her.

“And of course, you may use my name to protect Sycamore Mountain.”

The last sentence gave the Huang Mountain Ruler a huge relief. It was what she wanted the most for Sycamore Mountain.

A moment later, she regained her composure and realized that Chu Kuangren knew everything she had in mind. He had seen through her thoughts from the start.

“Thank you, Master Chu.” The Huang Mountain Ruler thanked him solemnly.

“No need to thank me. Strictly speaking, this is just a deal. I take the Nine Transformation Nirvana Scripture for Lil Hong, and you can live under my protection,” Chu Kuangren said.

“I truly hope that Chu Hong comes back,” the Huang Mountain Ruler said sincerely.

Chu Kuangren glanced at her and said, “We’ll see about that.”

The Huang Mountain Ruler simply nodded. She knew Chu Kuangren had a bad impression of Sycamore Mountain after the marriage, and it would not just go away with just a few words.
