Chapter 155: The Ancient Clan Delegation Arrives, Seeking to Marry Xun'er!

"I hope everything goes smoothly!"

Compared to Zhuli's optimism, Gu Fei, who had originally been full of confidence, frowned slightly.

At this moment, he did not dare to relax in the slightest.

He knew clearly that the energy contained within the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was terrifying, comparable to the entire Dou Qi within the body of a Four-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse; it would definitely not be easy for Zi Yan to absorb it.

What Zi Yan was absorbing now was only the outermost layer.

Sure enough, after absorbing some of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit's energy, the overflowing energy not only failed to diminish but instead erupted once again!

"Boom!"

Following a muffled sound that emanated from within Zi Yan's body, her entire person was enveloped by purple and gold energy.

The energy had even turned into a liquid state, seeping out and weaving between Zi Yan's flesh and blood.

Her body could no longer withstand so much energy, which was what caused the overflow.

"The overflowing energy is crystallizing!"

Qing Lin suddenly exclaimed, feeling that Zi Yan's arms had already begun to solidify.

"If she cannot absorb the energy in time, she will eventually be sealed by this energy, just like an insect in amber!"

Gu Fei's expression was incomparably grave.

Zi Yan's complexion shifted between light and shadow; she, who had always worn a smile, now revealed a painful expression, as the churning energy within her body was almost about to burst her body apart.

"The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit has appeared a few times before, but in all of history, it has only been successfully absorbed twice!"

Zhuli locked his brows tightly, feeling extremely worried.

"The success rate for absorbing this thing is so low?!"

Hearing this, Cai'er looked at Zhuli in great surprise, then looked at Zi Yan, her gaze filled with worry.

"The two times the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was used, it was obtained by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan once. They successfully absorbed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and gave birth to a super powerhouse. During that period, our Void Ancient Dragon clan was suppressed by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Fortunately, several hundred years later, our Ancient Dragon clan also successfully obtained a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit."

"Our clan's predecessor successfully absorbed it, which allowed us to turn the disadvantage around. Unfortunately, in a later bloody battle between the two clans, the two powerhouses possessing super bloodlines perished together..."

Thinking of the records in the secret history of the Void Ancient Dragon clan, Zhuli began to doubt himself.

He looked at the agonizingly painful Zi Yan before him, regretting that he should not have let Zi Yan absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit now; absorbing such a supreme treasure was a bit too early for Zi Yan.

Gu Fei saw Zhuli's worry and comforted him: "Elder Zhuli, no need to worry! Since I dared to let Zi Yan refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit now, it means I have absolute confidence!"

After speaking, Gu Fei immediately sat cross-legged behind Zi Yan, pressed his hands against her back, and an Exotic Fire appeared, wrapping Zi Yan within it.

His Exotic Fire, which fused the Green Lotus Core Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, and Three Thousand Burning Flame, was very powerful and already sufficient to refine the Dragon Phoenix Crystal produced by the excess energy.

With him there, there was no need to worry about Zi Yan being enveloped by the crystallized energy.

Nor was there any need to worry about the excess energy causing Zi Yan to burst and die.

He was Zi Yan's final line of defense.

Gu Fei's soul power spread out, highly focused, exerting all his strength to control the temperature of the Exotic Fire.

He ensured the temperature would not harm Zi Yan in the slightest, while also helping her refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin energy that had already solidified into crystals.

This required extreme control over the Exotic Fire; even Gu Fei needed to be fully concentrated.

With Gu Fei's help, the overflowing energy would turn back into liquid after solidifying, and at the appropriate time, flow back into Zi Yan's body to reintegrate into her flesh and blood.

In the process of helping Zi Yan absorb it, the Exotic Fire would naturally refine a portion of the energy for Gu Fei's own use.

Gu Fei was not intentionally plundering Zi Yan's opportunity; it was just that too much energy was overflowing.

If it were all stuffed into Zi Yan's body, it would only make her feel extremely painful.

Gu Fei absorbing some appropriately would not affect Zi Yan and could even share the pressure for her; moreover, for him, the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was also a decent opportunity.

"With Brother Gu Fei's help, Zi Yan's complexion looks much better."

Qing Lin worried for Zi Yan in her heart.

"Mother, will Sister Zi Yan be alright?"

Xiao Xianle lay in Xiao Yixian's arms, and upon hearing the conversation of the few, she was also very worried about Zi Yan.

"Don't worry, Zi Yan will definitely be fine; look, Father is also helping."

"With your father here, any trouble can be solved..."

Xiao Yixian stroked Xiao Xianle's head, telling her to relax a bit.

At this moment, the terrifying and pure energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was constantly churning on Gu Fei's mountain peak.

"Eh? The power of the Void Ancient Dragon clan... No, there is actually Heavenly Demon Phoenix as well!"

Deep within the Ancient Saint Mountain Range, in a palace, Gu Fei's grandfather, the Black Annihilation King Gu Lie, sensed this aura and immediately tracked the source of the aura, only to discover that it was appearing on Gu Fei's mountain peak.

He knew Gu Fei had a friend from the Void Ancient Dragon clan. With doubts in his heart, Gu Lie arrived around the mountain peak and saw the scene of Gu Fei helping Zi Yan refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"Such pure energy... This is a heaven-sent opportunity!"

Gu Lie watched Zi Yan; even a person of his status could not help but exclaim after sensing the terrifying energy within Zi Yan's body, his face revealing surprise.

"Indeed, and this is an opportunity unique to the Magical Beast clan."

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside Gu Lie, and a floating phantom appeared—it was Gu Yuan, who had also sensed the abnormality and descended to this place.

"This little girl's future achievements will surely be extraordinary. Her deep friendship with Gu Fei is also a good thing for our Ancient Clan."

Gu Lie smiled and nodded.

On Gu Fei's mountain peak

Even with Gu Fei's help, the refining process lasted for a long time; even with Gu Fei's ability, he could not withstand such terrifying consumption.

Fortunately, Gu Fei carried many recovery Pills he had refined in advance.

He kept taking pills during the process of helping Zi Yan refine, which was the only way he barely managed to sustain the Exotic Fire.

The entire process lasted for over a month before the wild, surging energy within Zi Yan's body finally stabilized a little.

The pressure on Gu Fei lessened significantly; he had also gained a great deal during the month or so he spent helping Zi Yan refine her energy, and he felt he was only a step away from being a Nine-Star Dou Zun.

As long as he wished, he could even step across that threshold immediately.

"Is it done?"

Seeing that Gu Fei's expression was no longer grave and that Zi Yan's aura had also stabilized significantly, Zhuli spoke up to ask.

"It will still be some time before Zi Yan comes out of seclusion, but there shouldn't be any problems now."

Gu Fei let out a long sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness washed over him; his spirit had been stretched thin over these past few days, and it wasn't just his Dou Qi that had been depleted, but also his energy and mental strength.

Dou Qi could be replenished by taking pills, but recovering energy required natural rest.

……

At the same time, within the Ancient Realm, a delegation from the Lei Clan paid a visit.

There were seven people in total from the Lei Clan, two of whom were Elders of the Lei Clan whose strength had both reached the Dou Sheng level.

The remaining five were young people.

Among the young people, the leader was named Lei Dong; although he was only thirty years old, his cultivation had already reached the Half-Saint level.

It could be said that he crushed the rest of the younger generation!

The purpose of the Lei Clan's visit this time was very simple: to propose a marriage, wanting Lei Dong to marry the daughter of the Ancient Clan's Clan Leader, Xun'er.
