Chapter 516: I love you

Near Cao City, which is close to the Demonized Forest, a terrifying sensation of the earth shaking suddenly struck in the middle of the night.

The entire city violently jolted several times, and many who had already gone to bed wrapped themselves in blankets and ran outside in panic.

The originally quiet town was abruptly awakened, with cries and shouts of alarm filling the ears, resounding above the skies of Cao City.

Cao City was a small town where mortals and Cultivators lived together. Compared to the mortals’ terror and cluelessness, the Cultivators, endowed with cultivation, all propelled their Magical Treasures and stood suspended in the air.

Unlike what everyone thought about the turning of the earth dragon or another sudden natural disaster, these Cultivators did not find any abnormalities near Cao City.

Instead, while they were in mid-air, they saw to the west of Cao City a sky-piercing blaze and blinding flashes of lightning, like the apocalypse descending.

That was the location of the Demonized Forest.

All the Cultivators who witnessed this spectacle gasped in shock.

With such a tremendous roar, Cao City was at least a hundred miles away from the Demonized Forest, yet the intensity of that power could still be felt as if one were in its midst, showing the extent of its ferocity.

Ignoring the panicked mortals, all the Cultivators simultaneously activated their Magical Treasures and hastened toward the site of the anomaly.

Such a grand scene indicated either the birth of a magical artifact or a Great Power undergoing a tribulation.

Regardless of the situation, it was enough to attract all Cultivators with ambition.

Fortune favors the bold; perhaps this was the opportunity they were seeking.

Besides Cao City, which was closest to the Demonized Forest, other more distant areas were also affected by this tumult.

In the pitch-black night sky, silhouettes hurriedly flashed by.

Suddenly, a massive shadow loomed overhead; a giant gourd-shaped wine flask, as large as a hill, floated by and vanished into the vast night in the blink of an eye.

"Isn’t that Immortal Jiu’s gourd Magical Treasure? Even he has come...."

The darkness of night was the best cover, and someone murmured softly, causing a small stir.

No one could imagine how many Cultivators were concealed in the seemingly inconspicuous night.

Only because of the minor commotion, which unavoidably caused some to reveal their presence, did they become aware of each other.

Unlike these mutually wary Loose Cultivators and low-level Cultivators, powerful beings of Great Power had already gathered on the outskirts of the Demonized Forest.

It wasn’t until they actually reached the Demonized Forest that they realized what they had seen and guessed before was trivial.

The Demonized Forest had already become a Thunder Pond.

Within the entire forest, tiny bolts of lightning scurried everywhere; such was the might of the lightning that anyone who stepped into it was turned to charred ash.

Everyone stopped at the periphery, their hearts itching to proceed.

Just as they were trying to find a way to penetrate deeper and investigate, a red figure gracefully arrived.

Small and delicate white feet, stepping on flames, entered the Thunder Pond as if it were empty, burning all the lightning that barely touched her ankles to nothingness with the fire on her body.

She was a dazzling and beautiful woman, her gaze gently sweeping over everyone present. Suddenly, the Realm Cultivation of all present showed signs of collapse.

In great alarm, no one dared to lift their heads to look at her.

Just one glance from her wielded such immense power that even Immortal Jiu, who had broken through to the Mahayana Realm, couldn’t withstand it and felt regret.

All the Cultivators’ thoughts melted before the overwhelming strength.

They saw the phantom of a Phoenix behind her, and before they recovered from their shock, the beauty who had made their hearts tremble transformed into a gigantic and magnificent Phoenix, soaring into the sky.

The fast-fading lightning in the sky seemed to be angered by this audacious Exotic Beast.

Within a few breaths, an even larger and more expansive layer of thunderclouds had gathered together, condensing into a massive bolt of purple lightning that struck towards the offender.

The purple lightning split the heavy night, illuminating the space as if it were daylight.

All who were under the cover of the lightning saw it.

A fiery-red Phoenix, like a droplet of water, plunged into the vast Thunder Pond, instantly submerged by the lightning.

No one believed that this suicidal Exotic Beast had any chance of surviving.

But unexpectedly, a cluster of flames broke through the Thunder Pond, causing a commotion within.

In the end, it seemed the lightning could do nothing to this cluster of flames and unwillingly began to fade away.

When everything returned to calm, all could smell the exotic fragrance wafting to their nostrils and could hear the profound chanting that penetrated the soul.

The Guiding Light descended.

Only then did all the Cultivators gathered realise that the one behind this grand spectacle was a Phoenix attempting Ascension.

The Phoenix, a creature of legend.

The first of the Cultivation Continent to ascend, turned out to be an Exotic Bird.

Among the spectators were also Cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect, with considerable cultivation.

At this moment, he was filled with sighs and regrets. If he had known that the Demonized Forest harbored a Phoenix, he would have contracted it before its cultivation matured. Then at the time of its ascension, it could have become his own being.

Regardless of what thoughts others held, Su Li, now facing the Guiding Light, could distinctly feel the pulling force within the beam of light.

Yes, the one who caused such commotion was indeed Su Li.

In the outside world, it had been five years, but she had actually cultivated for a full six thousand years. The drop of Phoenix Bloodline within her veins had been refined to perfection through Phoenix Rebirth, reconstructing her body as that of a Phoenix.

As soon as she stepped out of the pavilion, the illusions she had set up herself, unable to withstand the power emanating from her, shattered one by one.

With no more cover, the Heavenly Dao felt Su Li’s overwhelming presence and immediately descended the Heavenly Tribulation, determined to disperse this greatest anomaly.

However, Su Li’s six thousand years were not lived in vain. Truth be told, her cultivation might be beyond that of Little Gods and Immortals in the Upper Realm.

Since it could not kill her, the Heavenly Dao could only hurriedly send down the Guiding Light.

Su Li could sense Heavenly Dao’s disdain towards her.

But...

You tell me to go, and I just go? Wouldn’t that be much too face-losing?

Nobody could have imagined the next move Su Li made, stunning everyone witnessing it.

They saw her arms transform into the colossal wings of a Phoenix, and, defying gravity, she directly scattered the Guiding Light.

Heavenly Dao Daddy: "....."

Spectators: "....."

By the time everyone reacted, the figure’s trace had long vanished from heaven and earth, leaving only the Demonized Forest burned to ashes as testament that what they had seen was not a figment of their imaginations.

The news of a Phoenix capable of Ascension emerging from the Demonized Forest quickly swept through every corner of the Cultivation Continent.

The Beast Taming Sect naturally learned the news, from the outer disciples up to the Sect Leader Elder, and they discussed it more fervently than other Cultivators. After all, unlike other Cultivators who focused on refining themselves, the main combat power of those from the Beast Taming Sect came from the beasts they contracted.

Mei Gui naturally learned of this too, and she even knew that this Phoenix, which shattered the Guiding Light, might just be the beast that should have become her Contracted Beast.
