Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 397 - 397 75 Your Forbidden Grounds My Treasury_1

397: Chapter 75: Your Forbidden Grounds, My Treasury_1 397: Chapter 75: Your Forbidden Grounds, My Treasury_1 The Dragon Turtle Tribe was endowed with numerous Divine Skills, but pinning down a core Innate Divine Ability was a challenge.

Fu Mountain?

Divine God Might?

However, when it came to the Phoenix Clan, the Phoenix True Fire was undeniably their hallmark!

Feng Si led Su He through the Wutong Forest, across one volcano after another, arriving at an open expanse of land.

“Stand upon the earth, merge with it, perceive!

Raise your own Phoenix Mountain!” Feng Si had a solemn expression, but for some reason, Su He always felt there was a hint of nervousness, even fear, behind her solemnity!

As if she were frightened of something.

Su He glanced back.

Each volcano corresponded to a member of the Phoenix clan, and forty-six in total represented the sum of its types since ancient times.

Yet unlike the Dragon Turtle Tribe, the Phoenix Clan had its sub-species.

Just like Su He.

Thus, among the forty-six, not all were Phoenixes; there were Peacock Rocs, Green Bird Great Winds, and the like.

One volcano, in particular, was completely isolated, enshrouded by an array-like barrier, with iron chains binding it from outside.

It appeared sealed away.

“Is that volcano Phoenix Chao Fei’s?” Su He inquired.

In the entire Phoenix Clan, probably only Phoenix Chao Fei deserved such a treatment.

“Yes!” Feng Si squinted at the volcano, its details obscured by the barrier, only barely discernible were Wutong trees soaring to the sky.

How she wanted to blow up that mountain.

Su He pursed her lips and said no more.

Closing her eyes, she stood firmly on the ground, her consciousness mingling with the earth beneath her as she carefully perceived.

A sense of bloodline connection emanated from the earth.

Gradually, Su He felt as though rising on the wind, her consciousness elevating endlessly—a mistake, not an illusion, but reality!

Her mind was circling, not because she had taken flight by herself, but because the earth below was carrying her aloft.

Her consciousness spread out to observe the earth.

Having pondered the mysteries of Xuanwu Star Lodge for over half a year, Su He was accustomed to observing vast entities.

When her “gaze” fell upon the earth, Su He was stunned.

Beneath her feet was not simply earth!

It was a Phoenix in flight, directionless and without discernible speed, just constantly moving forward.

The Phoenix Clan’s inheritance was carried on the back of this immense Phoenix; to connect with the earth was to engage with this Phoenix.

No wonder there was a sensation of bloodline connection.

Following Su He’s consciousness, an indescribable force surged into her Peacock True Body, that force immense yet gentle, quickly filling her entire being.

Her body became cozy and warm.

The Southern Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Unlike East Cloud Mountain with its endless snow, this place exuded the ambiance of the south, where snow never fell, and the once nurturing ground of Savage King legends showed no sign of its past.

Before her eyes lay an endless succession of mountains.

Suddenly, a clear and beautiful phoenix cry broke the silence, followed by more cries resounding one after another.

“Little Nine from the Sacrifice to the ancestors family is going to ignite the Phoenix True Fire,” a black-as-ink Phoenix opened its eyes, a hint of joy in its gaze.

Further away, a Fire Phoenix shook its head: “Unlikely!”

A second manifestation of a Peacock condensed by a little one, and a second-generation Peacock at that, grew ever farther from the Phoenix bloodline—conjuring Phoenix True Fire was nearly impossible.

Divine God Beasts are special; their bloodlines remain pure and stable generation after generation, but once they diverge, each generation drifts further away.

Yun Li was the first generation Peacock of the Sacrifice to the ancestors lineage, closely related to the Phoenix, yet she never ignited her Phoenix Mountain or awakened the Phoenix True Fire.

For her Peacock offspring birthed by her essence blood, the likelihood was even slimmer.

Unless he could revert to his ancestry, surpassing the quality of his mother’s bloodline, but if he could, he wouldn’t be a Peacock; he would be meant to condense the Phoenix True Body instead.

“What a pity!” another Phoenix sighed: “If only I knew that the Little Dragon Turtle could condense a second Divine God Beast body, I would’ve offered Phoenix essence blood long ago to help him achieve Phoenix status.

Only then could our Phoenix Clan truly gain another member.

Even if just a second form…

as long as Little Nine was introduced to him, in ten thousand or a hundred thousand years, a true Phoenix descendant could finally be born.”

Cooped up within her own volcano and listening to the elders’ casual conversation, Feng Jiu’s head was filled with fiery question marks.

If he becomes a Phoenix, are you going to sell me out?

What kind of elder does that…

Feng Jiu was taken aback, realizing that indeed, this is how Divine God Beast elders behave!

In the eyes of Divine God Beasts, reproducing offspring is paramount.

Besides, if that Dragon Turtle’s second form truly becomes a Phoenix, not just the old folks, she herself would feel it proper to pair them off!

It’s so good that he is just a Peacock!

That Little Golden Dragon told her everything: this Dragon Turtle was no upright being.

Not of age yet but already flanked by lovers, that’s not even the end of it.

Two wives, one human, one Dragon—is this something a proper Dragon would do?

Aren’t you worried your hard shell will scratch the young ladies?

If his second form were a Phoenix, Feng Jiu could be angered to death.

The Peacock is good, very good!

For some unknown reason, Phoenixes can only reproduce with other Phoenixes; it’s completely impossible with other sub-species.

Reproductive isolation!

Now the oldies would never allow him to have any connection with Su He.

Feng Jiu watched the projection of the inheritance site rise among the Hundred Thousand Volcanoes, where a Peacock stood upon the earth, connecting with the heritage Phoenix.

He also felt Su He was indulging in fantasy, something Sacrifice to the ancestors should have told the Dragon Turtle beforehand.

The possibility of a Peacock lighting the Phoenix True Fire was next to none.

As the elders sighed, they heard a loud, clear call from within the inheritance site, and the Peacock spewed out a mouthful of pure golden fire.

In Long Moon Mansion, by the side of Autumn Lake amidst the bamboo forest, a Peacock stood with spread wings, but at this moment its plume feathers began to tremble incessantly.

Su Huanian opened his eyes, his gaze landing on the Peacock; he saw it let out a long cry, its trembling plume feathers suddenly igniting, flames spreading all over its body.

In an instant, the entire Peacock was enveloped in fire.
