Chapter 1538

Regarding this world, he had already discerned the majority of its secrets.

However, there were still some things worth his acquisition.

After killing Di Shitian, he had obtained the phoenix blood within Di Shitian's body.

The dragon essence had also fallen into his hands previously.

This world possessed four great auspicious beasts: the dragon, phoenix, tortoise, and qilin.

The mysterious tortoise had died long ago, and its power had been obtained by Xiao Sanxiao, a man who hid deeper and was even more terrifying than Di Shitian.

Di Shitian possessed only a thousand years of cultivation, whereas this man had lived for a full three thousand years, possessing three thousand years of terrifying cultivation.

Moreover, this man was different from Di Shitian; Di Shitian's predecessor, Xu Fu, had mediocre martial arts aptitude, and his cultivation was accumulated slowly over a thousand years, whereas Xiao Sanxiao was a supreme martial arts genius himself. The "Ten Thousand Ways of Forest" and the "Four Absolutes of the Mixed Heavens" he created could be called extremely exquisite.

The "Ten Thousand Ways of Forest" could accommodate various different and even mutually exclusive martial arts for one's own use.

The "Four Absolutes of the Mixed Heavens" could extract and refine the essence of the heavens, earth, sun, and moon, creating a natural power that flowed endlessly, elevating one's strength to an ancient and peerless realm.

Su Xuan already possessed the power of the dragon and phoenix in his hands; naturally, he had to find a way to gather all four types of power.

Of course, Xiao Sanxiao was, after all, the most powerful existence in this world, so he would leave him for the time being and resolve the matter at the very end.

Consequently, Su Xuan first took a trip to Leshan.

He entered the Lingyun Grotto.

The Fire Qilin lived within the Lingyun Grotto.

It must be said that the Fire Qilin had a tragic fate; originally one of the four great auspicious beasts, it had lost its auspicious abilities and become incredibly violent due to the demonic energy it absorbed while guarding the Central Plains' dragon vein.

The other three of the four great auspicious beasts could grant others immortality, but it alone could not.

If that were all, it would have been fine, as losing that ability also spared it the danger of being hunted and viewed as a medicine for immortality.

Yet, even so, it still did not escape the crisis of being killed.

Many years ago, after it incinerated a group of Japanese warriors who intended to seize the dragon vein, it was heavily wounded by the Emperor in a single strike of the "Heaven-Shattering Absolute Hand," and was subsequently killed by Nie Feng, who had lost his senses.

However, although it died at Nie Feng's hands, Nie Feng did one good deed: he hid the Fire Qilin's corpse in an ice cave.

Even Nie Feng did not know that all four great auspicious beasts possessed extraordinary abilities.

Although the Qilin could not grant others immortality, it could resurrect itself.

This was thanks to its own special ability.

The Fire Qilin's corpse was constantly absorbing the power between heaven and earth. When Su Xuan found the Fire Qilin in an ice cave within the Lingyun Grotto, its body was already full of vitality; it would likely not be many years before it could fully resurrect.

However, since Su Xuan had arrived here, he naturally had to give the Fire Qilin a hand.

Because the Fire Qilin was alive, Su Xuan did not intend to slaughter it, but rather prepared to turn it into a mount.

Although he already had a demonic dragon mount, having an extra one would not be bad.

Su Xuan raised his hand, and the rich vitality between heaven and earth surged toward him.

This was the method of "bringing the dead back to life," and also a supreme great divine ability.

Under Su Xuan's manipulation, the rich vitality surged toward the Fire Qilin; in an instant, the Fire Qilin's resurrection process was accelerated.

Afterward, raging flames surged from its body, and it immediately melted the ice surrounding it before letting out a roar.

Upon seeing Su Xuan in the ice cave, the Fire Qilin immediately attacked him.

Su Xuan's magic power surged, and the space was locked.

The Fire Qilin's movements were immediately frozen.

Looking at the Fire Qilin, whose eyes were filled with violence and ferocity, Su Xuan sighed.

He knew why the Fire Qilin was so violent.

Hidden within the Lingyun Grotto was the dragon vein of the Divine Land.

The dragon vein was an extremely holy object, but hidden in the place where the dragon vein was sealed was monstrous demonic energy.

Before the Huang Di died, he had been suppressing this demonic energy.

The source of the demonic energy was another old acquaintance of Su Xuan.

It originated from Did Chi You.

It seemed that no matter what world it was, Did Chi You was never a good person.

The Fire Qilin was originally the mount of the Huang Di, the ancient sage king. After the Huang Di died, it had been guarding the dragon vein here, but the demonic energy began to leak. Over the long years, it was constantly being corrupted by the demonic energy; although it still insisted on its duty to guard the dragon vein here, its nature had become violent.

"Let me help you find liberation!"

Su Xuan activated another technique.

He immediately performed the purification technique taught to him by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's incarnation, Xiao Li.

A brilliant white light, like clear moonlight, immediately fell upon the Fire Qilin.

The flames on the Fire Qilin's body dimmed significantly with the fall of this clear light. At the same time, the violence in its eyes also disappeared within the clear light. With the disappearance of the violence, a glimmer of intelligence appeared in the Fire Qilin's eyes. It looked at Su Xuan and did not continue to attack him.

It seemed to be weighing whether Su Xuan was a friend or a foe.

Su Xuan looked at the bewildered Fire Qilin and felt that he should see the good deed through to the end.

Since he had already helped the Fire Qilin twice, he might as well give it another stroke of fortune.

Consequently, just as he had done when facing the demonic dragon, he activated the Enlightenment Technique.

After the violent demonic energy in the Fire Qilin's body was purified, its intelligence began to recover. It already possessed not-insignificant intelligence—otherwise, it could not be called an auspicious beast—but this time, under Su Xuan's Enlightenment Technique, its intelligence climbed once more.

Although it could not speak like the demonic dragon, it was already able to express its thoughts through certain actions. ===== CHAPTER 1540 =====
