Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 398 - 398 75 Your Forbidden Grounds My Treasury_2

398: Chapter 75: Your Forbidden Grounds, My Treasury_2 398: Chapter 75: Your Forbidden Grounds, My Treasury_2 This flame bore no scorching breath, yet the ground the Peacock touched instantly melted away.

Autumn Lake trembled, and the Three Phases Monk soared out, the soul of Qian Qianzi hovering amid the Buddha light behind his head, both gazing toward the Peacock at the same time.

The Three Phases Monk intoned Amitabha Buddha, as a Buddha Bead was thrown, landing before the Peacock.

It emitted rays of light, absorbing all the scattered flames around the Peacock.

“Damn it, such a pity!” the monk lamented with a face full of regret.

This was the first awakening of the Phoenix Clan, the birth of the Phoenix True Fire!

A Phoenix has it but once in its lifetime, making it exceedingly precious.

Even these dispersed flames if refined into pills can have the effect of reviving the dead and turning bones to flesh.

Not being able to collect it all was a true pity.

And the thought that these were someone else’s possessions that would have to be returned after gathering, made it all the more regrettable!

His heart was bleeding.

Within the Heritage Space, the flying Phoenix had come to a halt.

The power that had probed into Su He was also withdrawn.

This force was like flint sparking Su He’s bloodline into flame.

A volcano rose from the ground beneath Su He’s feet, climbing higher and higher.

Golden light erupted from the crater; basking in this radiance, Su He let out a resonant bird call.

In the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the Divine Senses that echoed back and forth fell silent without notice.

This Peacock had ignited the True Fire and raised its own volcano!

There was nothing remotely Divine God Beast-like about this!

How could divine beasts reproduce and strengthen their bloodlines?

Yun Li had not ignited the True Fire or raised a volcano, so by all accounts, it should have been even more unlikely for Su He!

The air was silent for a long while until Black Wind’s voice transmitted, “Did he perhaps receive Phoenix Ancestor Essence Blood?”

Only Phoenix Ancestor Essence Blood could enhance the bloodline of descendants, and even their own Essence Blood wasn’t enough.

This meant improving the bloodline of a Divine God Beast, not just enhancing power.

“Impossible!” a voice transmitted in reply, “If there was Phoenix Ancestor Essence Blood in this world, how could we not sense it?”

“I guess it’s because of Yun Li, right?

Perhaps Yun Li had the chance to go even further?”

Yun Li was supposed to be a Phoenix, but while incubating in the egg, it was during Phoenix Chao Fei’s turmoil that the essence was injured, resulting in hatching as a Peacock instead.

Could it be that as this young Peacock inherited the essence blood, it advanced half a step, recovering some of the Phoenix’s mystical essence?

Upon reflection, this seemed quite plausible!

“Having ignited the Phoenix True Fire and raised Phoenix Mountain, Su He can now plant the Bright Mirror, right?” a Phoenix whispered in query.

In the Heritage Space, Su He fluttered its wings and rose from the volcano crater, wrapped in pure golden flames, soaring toward the Nine Heavens.

At that moment, it felt as if the whole body was imbued with the warmth of the sun, with boundless strength.

Circling above the volcano and crying out, it eventually landed beside Feng Si.

Surrounded by golden flames, only then could Su He sense the terrifying cold of Feng Si’s Ice Flame.

As soon as he got close, it seemed as if it was going to freeze his golden flames through and through.

Feng Si flapped her wings and moved back a few steps, then let out a clear and cheery phoenix cry, her voice undisguised in its joyfulness.

“Good, good, good!” She pronounced ‘good’ thrice in succession.

“Now that we have Phoenix Mountain, we can plant the Wutong Tree,” Feng Si said delightfully.

The legacy of the Phoenix Clan was unlike that of the Dragon Turtle Tribe, where all legacies lay within the eyes of the Dragon Turtle.

The Phoenix Clan has basic legacies such as the Wutong Forest Su He had passed earlier; each Wutong Tree represents a legacy.

Harvesting and consuming the Wutong seeds grants one that legacy.

However, digesting the Wutong seeds is a slow process.

To accelerate the absorption, one needs to build a nest in the Wutong Tree from which the seed was harvested and sleep there, which can greatly increase the speed of inheritance.

Similarly, if one possessed Divine Skills, one could condense a Divine God Power Seed and plant a Wutong Tree on one’s own Phoenix Mountain, allowing other Phoenixes to also gain the legacy.

As for cultivation experiences and various kinds of knowledge, the Phoenix Clan, unlike the Dragon Turtle Tribe, did not have legacy shadows or Talisman Runes.

What the Phoenixes had were these mountains full of Jade Bamboo.

On Su He’s volcano, there was nothing but the erupting golden flames from the crater, not a single blade of grass on the mountain.

As opposed to the other Phoenix Mountains, where Jade Bamboo was abundant.

Each Jade Bamboo corresponded to an experience legacy.

Once the bamboo matured and produced grains, consuming them bestowed the knowledge.

Of course, legacies were not freely given.

Planting the Wutong Tree and Jade Bamboo would allow one to see one’s own strengths and weaknesses through their growth, serving as an important aid for the Phoenix Clan to rectify flaws and advance in Divine Skills.

It had a certain synergistic effect with Su He’s Bright Mirror.

“Have you thought about which Divine Skill to choose first?” Feng Si looked at Su He with a smile, “Based on your current physical strength, in the front part of the Wutong Forest, you can choose one Divine Skill to inherit, two in the middle portion, and five in the back.

Any more and your body won’t bear the strain.”

Inheriting Divine Skills essentially means etching them onto the flesh so that they become instinctive.

The stronger the body, the more Divine Skills it can inherit at once.

There was much Su He desired.

The Phoenix Clan’s Divine Skills for sealing, restraining, and suppressing were unrivaled across the heavens; when battling the White Tiger, Feng Jiu could even limit and slow down the Divine Skills unleashed by the Tiger.

Simply outrageous.

Aside from the attack methods that put the Four Spirits Divine God Beast beyond the reach of all Heavens, the Dragon Turtle excelled in defense, the Phoenix Clan in control, and the Qilin Clan was invincible in blessings.

For synergy with the Dragon Turtle True Form, the Peacock True Body should preferably choose auxiliary Divine Skills.

After a moment of contemplation, Su He turned to Feng Si with a timid tone, “I heard that our Phoenix Clan has a Divine Skill specifically used to refine the Origin World?”

Su He reached the point where he needed to Open Chaos, the stolen Source Stones were now few.

The Origin stored by the Eternal Trigram was still plentiful but rootless, and some had to be saved for emergencies.

Soon it was time to start opening up Chaos.

But Su He was loath to part with Long Moon Mansion, not willing to spend hundreds of years as a turtle submerged in Chaos.

Mastering the technique for Condensing Origin Stones became essential.

The Dragon Turtle Tribe possessed several Formation arts, but what convenience could they offer compared to Divine Skills!
