Chapter 156

Looking at the remaining liquor inside, she swirled it, and on Nüwa's unflustered jade face, a flash of relief appeared—good, good, there was still a little left.

Then she looked toward Xuan Feng, intending to use magic to help her, but the raised hand was forcibly stopped by herself.

Her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on Xuan Feng's vacant gaze, Nüwa carefully sensed the changes in Xuan Feng's aura, her brows slightly furrowed, and her heart sank even more.

This feeling—wasn't it like what I felt yesterday? Could it be that Feng'er is also about to awaken divine abilities?

The sensation from yesterday is still fresh in her memory; she couldn't help but think more about it.

This Chaos Dwelling is truly not simple—looks like yesterday's divine ability awakening wasn't an accident.

In Nüwa's eyes, a faint glow gathered; if this is the case, then it's a good thing.

Nüwa secretly nodded, her mind eased considerably.

Though it is said that sages are emotionless, as long as there is a human character, one ultimately cannot escape emotion.

After all, Xuan Feng has followed her for many years—how could she not worry at all?

Nüwa examined Xuan Feng with interest, not knowing what divine ability Feng'er might awaken.

Then she summoned a small cup and poured the peach blossom brew into it.

Last time she drank from an entire vat, which was truly unbecoming of a sage's dignity.

This time, with Xuan Feng present, she cannot do that again.

I wonder, if she finishes this crispy fried chicken, can she awaken another divine ability?

Thinking this, Nüwa hesitated no longer—she took a bite of fried chicken, a sip of small wine, and began eating happily.

Xuan Feng felt as if she were in a boundless sea of fire, no matter how she flew, she could not escape.

Xuan Feng's heart was filled with astonishment—wasn't she supposed to be eating with the Lady? How did she end up here?

Before she could think further, the flames beneath her feet, as if alive, surged toward her in waves.

Xuan Feng felt a hint of contempt—just a little fire, trying to hurt her? Gradually, her expression changed; she felt the fire growing hotter and hotter.

It was already exceeding what she could bear.

After all, the phoenixes are naturally fire-attuned—if even they feel scorching, one can imagine how astonishing this fire's temperature must be.

Xuan Feng gritted her teeth and began to resist with magic, but ultimately could not withstand the terrifying surge in temperature.

After the magic barrier was eroded, the flames instantly engulfed Xuan Feng, leaving no time to react.

Hmm?

After being swallowed, the originally startled Xuan Feng suddenly froze—why is there no heat in this fire? Instead, it feels warm—what is going on?

Xuan Feng was utterly bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

She could clearly feel the fire's energy continuously gathering into her body, yet there was no madness—only deep comfort.

As time passed, the originally boundless fire kept shrinking until, finally, it all drilled into Xuan Feng's body.

And around Xuan Feng's form, a shell-like thing formed—fiery red, dazzlingly brilliant.

At this moment, Xuan Feng's body and mind felt an indescribable ease; she felt as if she were fire itself, completely composed of fire.

Wanting to stretch, yet she also felt bound.

She reached out and lightly touched it—her brow lifted—this is... an eggshell.

This scene—how could it so closely resemble the Feng Clan's secret divine ability, Phoenix Nirvana?!

When a phoenix suffers grave injury and nears death, it can burn its essence blood to undergo Phoenix Nirvana, that is, rebirth through fire.

Not only does the injury heal, but strength also increases by a level.

However, this forced method can be used by the phoenix clan only once in a lifetime—never unless absolutely necessary—and she didn't know what this was.

Xuan Feng wondered in her heart,

A gentle push, and the flaming eggshell instantly turned into scattered sparks, this final energy once again surging into Xuan Feng's body.

She clenched her fist, feeling novel—she felt she was now fire itself.

Then, a stream of unfamiliar memory instantly surged into the sea of her mind.

【Ding! Xuan Feng awakened the divine ability Flame Nirvana after consuming Sauce Board Duck—synchronize awakening?】

Hearing the system's prompt, inside Chaos Dwelling, Chen Nuo, who was teaching Sun Wukong to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the back kitchen, suddenly froze.

"What's wrong, Master?" Seeing Chen Nuo suddenly silent while lecturing, Sun Wukong couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chen Nuo shook his head lightly: "Nothing, you keep practicing on your own."

After saying that, he walked out from the back kitchen.

Sun Wukong scratched his head, but said nothing more—his master's words are always right, so whatever he says, he just does.

He then calmed down, following Chen Nuo's previous understanding, and began practicing step by step again.

Chen Nuo casually leaned against a pillar and began reading the divine ability introduction.

Flame Nirvana: Ultimate fire control ability, capable of developing multiple techniques—you are fire itself, able to turn your entire body into fire element. Moreover, upon facing a lethal threat, it will enter Nirvana state, during which it suffers no attack; after Nirvana, all aspects are greatly enhanced, the Nirvana effect lasts fifteen minutes, and the cooldown is one day.

Looking at the introduction, Chen Nuo's mouth twitched—what's the difference between this and that fruit? Just no drawbacks, plus the Nirvana effect, right?

Though similar, it's undeniable that even in the deep waters of the Three Realms, this divine ability is not ordinary power—it's remarkably comprehensive.

"Inheritance." Chen Nuo's lips curled—now Xuan Feng can truly be called a fire-reborn phoenix.

Slowly opening her eyes, Xuan Feng's gaze held a haze mixed with several shocks—what had she just been...

"Awake? What did you awaken?" Nüwa had already finished all the crispy fried chicken, now idly watching Xuan Feng.

The taste of the Chaos Dwelling dishes is truly beyond words—this crispy fried chicken is no less than Flying Dragon Soup, so delicious she almost ate the bones too.

Fortunately, her sage's dignity held her composure, saving a shred of face.

From now on, she must eat this every day, Nüwa thought darkly.

Xuan Feng gradually regained her senses, feeling the newly inherited memories in her mind and the immersive environment, her body trembling slightly, overwhelmed with excitement she could barely contain.

She, awakened divine abilities?!

Xuan Feng found it hard to believe, but the memory in her mind was indeed real, leaving her no choice but to accept it.

She had truly awakened her divine abilities?!!!

Xuan Feng opened her mouth, her face full of astonishment.

"You have awakened your divine abilities?" Nu Wa spoke again.

Now, Xuan Feng fully came to her senses, quickly standing up from her chair, excitedly saying: "Nu Wa! I actually awakened my divine abilities!"

But as soon as the words left her mouth, Xuan Feng realized something was off, a hint of doubt flashing across her face, she hesitated: "Nu Wa, how did you know I awakened my divine abilities?!"

Nu Wa gave a slight nod, speaking calmly: "I awakened yesterday, so I can naturally tell."

"Nu Wa awakened yesterday?" Xuan Feng's heart gave a jolt, she probed: "Is it also because of this shopkeeper Chen's dish?"

"Of course." Nu Wa softly replied.

Besides this, in the Three Realms, it is probably impossible to find anything so miraculous anymore.

Able to awaken divine abilities, I don't even know what method this so-called shopkeeper Chen actually used?

"I ate it yesterday too! Why am I only awakening now?" Xuan Feng couldn't help but blurt out.

Nu Wa pondered for a moment, then said in a soft voice: "Perhaps your fortune is not that good."
