Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 396 - 396 74 Phoenix Nest_3

396: Chapter 74 Phoenix Nest_3 396: Chapter 74 Phoenix Nest_3 …

Su He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the Sea of Consciousness within his Intention Orifice, where Divine Sense crystallized in the center amidst rolling ocean waves.

The spot where the Tao Palace once resided was now empty.

Now being the Peacock True Body, it was normal not to have the Dragon Turtle’s Tao Palace, but it would be unusual for the Peacock Clan’s heritage site not to appear.

Tao Palace, Dragon Gate, Qilin Mountain, Phoenix Marrow…

Each of the Four Spirits had treasures to suppress their heritage.

The Dragon Turtles had the Tao Palace, the Dragon clan had the Dragon Gate.

The Phoenix Clan had the Phoenix Marrow, also known as the Phoenix Nest.

The Phoenix Marrow, it sounded like it shouldn’t be within the Intention Orifice.

Su He’s consciousness shifted, introspectively examining his spine.

His bones seemed to be cast from pure gold, echoing the sound of iron when touched by Divine Sense.

His consciousness landed on his spinal cord, and a wave of dizziness washed over him as the scene before him drastically changed.

A dark tunnel appeared, and Su He’s consciousness took the form of a peacock, settling within the tunnel.

Phoenix Marrow, Phoenix Tunnel!

How straightforward!

Su He chuckled, following the tunnel inwards.

Just like walking through the Tao Palace and emerging to find the Heritage Sea, after the tunnel lay a vast range of interconnected volcanoes!

However, not all the volcanoes were spewing magma; there were deep blue ice flames, pitch-black dark flames, crimson red flames, and pure white golden flames…

Each flame represented a different attribute of the Phoenix True Fire.

Among the volcanoes was a vast sea of bamboo, interspersed with countless parasol trees.

Each parasol tree radiated its unique glow and aura, bringing corresponding information upon sight:

Soul Locking, Sea Prohibition, No Conflict, Qin Yuan…

Each one represented a different Divine Skill.

From above, a Green Bird descended, chirping overhead, “Newcomer, newcomer!”

This Green Bird bore a seven parts resemblance to Su Huanian’s Soul Beast, and its prattle was even more incoherent.

Su He was astonished—there were living creatures in the heritage site!

Fundamentally speaking, the Divine God Beast Heritage was actually hidden within one’s own bloodline—in other words, inside one’s own body.

Had it been the ancient times, there would have been no such thing as a heritage site.

At the moment of breaking the shell or surpassing the Heavenly Tribulation, one would receive countless heritages.

Then, it would be followed by a slumber of thousands of years.

Later, as one’s Boundary Status and physical strength reached the required level, they would fall asleep multiple times, receiving the heritage in batches.

Even later, even though heritage sites existed, they should only accommodate the inheritor alone, at most along with their Divine God Beast.

Why would there be other living creatures?

“Surprise, surprise, isn’t it unexpected?” The Green Bird chirped as if it was speaking to a junior, “Young man, I am the Second Generation Ancestor of the Green Bird Tribe…”

Before it could finish speaking, phoenix cries suddenly emitted from its mouth, and then its body ignited with ice flames as its feathers turned pale blue.

Its voice became more refined, filled with a mix of joy and a hint of urgency, “You’ve arrived.”

The Green Bird transformed into a small Ice Phoenix!

Feng Si!

“Ancestor…

Ancestor?” Su He asked in confusion.

Seeing the affirmative look in the Ice Phoenix’s eyes, Su He grew even more surprised.

The Phoenix Clan’s heritage allowed for such interactions?

The Ice Phoenix’s eyes twinkled with laughter, “No need to be nervous.

The Green Bird just now was the second of its kind in all the Heavens and Myriad Realms.

After its life ended, its Divine Skills coalesced into a spirit, guarding the heritage site.

Once you Open the Seven-fold Heavens, you can also descend upon it and manifest here in this way.”

Astounding!

Indeed, every family has its own unique characteristics!

The Dragon Turtle might not be the first in all Heavens, but the Dragon Turtle’s heritage could not achieve elder reception.

Ice Phoenix looked at Su He, the smile in its eyes growing deeper, “Not bad, you’ve made rapid progress.

I thought you would have to wait until your mother’s grand ceremony for your flesh body to stabilize enough to accept the heritage.”

Yun Li had passed away for over thirty thousand years, and in twenty-nine more years, the third grand ceremony would take place.

A newly hatched Peacock would need decades to consolidate itself.

But Su He was cultivating a second body, with the Boundary Bead Heaven Made, no need for stabilization.

Simply dining with the Gluttonous Eating Method and strengthening the back-end of the flesh body would suffice, speeding up the process by untold times.

Feng Si flew a circle around him, even more pleased.

“Come on, let me take you to ignite your own True Fire,” Feng Si said cheerily, though with a hint of gravity in its eyes.

All Phoenixes have their own Phoenix True Fire, but since Peacocks are now a sub-tribe, especially Su He being a second-generation Phoenix, whether he could ignite the True Fire was still unknown.

Last minute changes and additions are free:

Sorry, I promised a ten thousand word update today, but I couldn’t achieve it.

I felt pretty good when I got back from the check-up yesterday and even wrote a chapter late into the night, but today, maybe because the anesthesia wore off?

I suffered from stomach pain all day until it got a bit better around seven or eight o’clock, and only then could I barely start writing.

Right now it doesn’t hurt anymore, but I dare not stay up to write.

I’ve written one chapter and am going to bed.

Tomorrow, or the day after, once it stops hurting, I’ll start making up for the owed words.
