Chapter 306: Chapter 301: Ice Phoenix Breaks Out of the Shell

"Ice Phoenix Inheritance?"

Li Quanqing was momentarily stunned. A Demon Beast inheritance, although powerful and mysterious, seemed to have little use for him.

In the next moment, the void tore open, and from within, a millstone-sized icy blue...

Giant egg?

An intense coldness hit him, the wind sharp as knives, accompanied by a flourishing life force bursting forth, as if the heartbeat inside the eggshell could be heard.

Li Quanqing’s eyes widened slightly, exclaiming inwardly at the marvel.

Is this what a bloodline inheritance is?

It was as if a whole Demon Beast had been packaged to go!

But in a certain sense, it wasn’t wrong.

Li Quanqing caressed the eggshell, icy blue and transparent, exceptionally smooth, like touching ancient ice, emitting a biting chill.

Streaks of white lines spread across the surface of the eggshell, resembling ice formations that formed into a divine phoenix bird rune, remarkably lifelike.

"This should be... that Third Rank pinnacle Ice Phoenix, reborn through Nirvana after failing the Nascent Soul tribulation?"

Li Quanqing’s heart pounded rapidly.

He had already formed a connection with this Ice Phoenix, having acquired two feathers before, using them to master the Ice Soul Cold Light, becoming invincible in the Foundation Establishment realm.

This Ice Phoenix’s bloodline was extraordinary, capable of cultivating to the peak of the Golden Core on its own, and now, with its innate divine ability, it could at least break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

It’s absolutely the most gifted Demon Beast Li Quanqing currently possesses!

Li Quanqing rubbed the cold, smooth eggshell, feeling both joy and a tinge of worry.

How to tame such a naturally gifted Demon Beast? It’s quite a problem; otherwise, it might be better to sell it.

Just as he hesitated, the void fluctuated once more, tearing open, releasing a Bloodline Soul Contract.

This was an Ancient creation, used to forcibly enslave Demon Beasts, allowing direct control over Demon Clan’s souls and deaths, exceedingly domineering.

This scroll seemed unremarkable, yet it exuded an exceptionally ancient aura, incredibly powerful.

Li Quanqing, surprised at the same time, couldn’t help but think of a long-held suspicion.

There must be an intelligent entity within this Heavenly River Dao relic, akin to an Array Spirit.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so thorough, gifting him not only a Demon Beast egg but also a method to contract it.

Li Quanqing opened the soul contract, and after careful study, released a drop of Lifebound Essence Blood, leaving his original imprint on the scroll.

In the next moment, the entire contract burst into flames, transforming into an invisible blaze, with a blood-red flame heart emitting a circle of red glow, slightly eerie.

More bizarrely, the flame burned fiercely, yet not a wisp of heat was emitted, as cold as ice.

The Blood Contract Soul Flame drilled into the eggshell, illuminating the entire giant egg, faintly revealing within the viscous liquid.

A Phoenix bird curled up, seemingly in slumber, its feathers covering its body, vividly lifelike.

The soul flame burned, finally entering the Phoenix Beast’s Heavenly Spirit Bone, disappearing.

At this moment, Li Quanqing’s body trembled slightly, clearly sensing the formation of an indestructible enslavement contract with the creature inside the egg.

Crack, crack!

His delight was not over yet. Following the successful contract, the surface of the icy blue eggshell began to crack with lines, spreading like a web, making crisp sounds.

Clearly, this Phoenix bird could have broken out long ago, but was suppressed by the entity in the relic.

Only when the blood contract was completed, fully tamed by the Human Clan, did it finally emerge.

The eggshell fell away piece by piece, revealing a small head poking out, icy blue and radiant, exuding an elegant aura, looking curiously at the surrounding environment.

Li Quanqing observed the little Phoenix, which seemed the size of a rooster, entirely azure blue, with only its beak snow-white, and its eyes as clear as glass.

Its whole body exuded a deep blue glow, the icy blue feathers like intricately carved ice crystals, reflecting a dreamlike color in the sunlight, each feather shimmering with a mysterious and cold aura.

Locking eyes with the Phoenix bird, Li Quanqing felt relieved.

That clear yet naive gaze clearly indicated it had lost all memory from before its Nirvana, much like a newborn Demon Beast, curiously observing this world.

[Beautiful Yet Freezing]Xuanming Ice Phoenix: "I flap my wings, leaving behind a sky full of ice and snow, with all things withering! Welcome to the world of ice and snow, blooming for you and me!"

[Cultivation: Golden Core Early Stage (1%)]

Li Quanqing, looking at the words revealed in front of him, when he touched the little Phoenix Demon, his hand suddenly trembled slightly.

Golden Core?

Golden Core!

A newly born Third Rank Demon!

Prophesied with the potential for Divinity Transformation!

In the next moment, boundless spiritual energy howled in, transforming into a surging spiritual tide, spreading outward into the void in all directions, the spiritual energy dense as fog.

The Xuanming Ice Phoenix’s body floated up, hovering in the vast spiritual energy, opening its mouth to utter its first cry upon appearing in the world.

"Screech!!"

Though the Ice Phoenix’s call was tender, it also carried an indescribable sense of majesty, piercing through gold and stone.

It soared on its wings, causing a biting cold wind to rise in the sky, with surging blue Demon Energy unleashing an ice storm.

Clouds and mist condensed into ice as snowflakes flew across the sky, as if the entire world was under its icy power, its strength astonishing.

[Rewarded with a Golden Core Early Stage Xuanming Ice Phoenix, and a Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure Ice Profound Freeze Sky Mirror!]

[Ice Profound Freeze Sky Mirror: Fourth Rank Low Grade Spiritual Treasure, contains an independent icy world, with whistling wind and snow, capable of entrapping enemies within, making escape difficult; when fully mobilized, it can freeze a sea area of thirty thousand miles!]

While Li Quanqing was joyful, he also felt a bit of disappointment.

He had initially thought all the rewards from the Phoenix Demon’s Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stages would be given to him.

Now, it seemed too much like wishful thinking.

Li Quanqing didn’t touch the Light Group, since unknown beings existed deep within the relic, caution was prudent.

He directly took out the Hanhai Bowl, placing the whole Xuanming Ice Phoenix inside, along with the Earth Flame Flood Dragon’s corpse and blood, leaving nothing behind.

This Demon Beast meat contained Dragon Blood, along with abundant Molten Rock Demon Qi, perfect for helping the Dragon Flame Eagle improve its foundation, and attempt to break through to the Golden Core.

This Demon’s Core from the Earth Flame Flood Dragon could even be used to aid a family Foundation Establishment cultivator in becoming a False Core expert.

Breaking through the Golden Core bottleneck was truly difficult.

Within the Li Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators, talent ranged only middle to high, making it challenging to produce another true Golden Core True Master.

It might be more practical to emulate the Shuihua Sword Sect, cultivating a False Core cultivator instead.

He even decided whom he would choose for refinement.

"Now... how to leave this place?"

Li Quanqing looked around, only to see a vast ocean sweeping by, the sea boundless, with no trace of the way he came.

While he was perplexed, new words manifested on the surface of the Heavenly River Token above his head as water flowed.

[Blood sacrifice a Nascent Soul Demon to unlock the second layer of the inheritance trial!]
