Chapter 424: Obtaining the Immortal Artifact Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, the Nirvana Phoenix
To be honest, Zhou Sui had no intention of using a Gu on Fengxi Daoren.
He rarely did such things anymore.
Even knowing that having relations with more female cultivators would bring more benefits to his cultivation.
But he did not take the initiative.
After all, such things were only pleasurable for a moment, and the aftermath was the real trouble.
If it were not a female cultivator truly worth it, he still would not make a move.
However, he did not expect that the Fengxi Daoren before him would have such a high level of favorability toward him.
It even triggered the power of the Infatuation Gu to activate.
As a result, the power of the Infatuation Gu instantly merged into the body of Fengxi Daoren.
This was simply forcing the issue; even if he wanted to deny it, it was impossible.
The problem was, what kind of proud woman was Fengxi Daoren? Usually, there wasn't a single man she could fancy, so how could she have such high favorability toward him?
Moreover, the two of them had not met many times.
Although he was very confident in his charm, it had not reached that level.
However, favorability would not lie.
"Six Desires Red Dust Qi, could it be the influence of the Six Desires Red Dust Qi?"
In an instant, Zhou Sui's eyes flickered.
Having obtained the Book Gu, he was a very clever person and realized the key to the problem immediately.
That was the Six Desires Red Dust Qi.
This kind of aura could make people fall into an illusion; even a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator could not resist it, let alone an Integration Stage. Although Fengxi Daoren was powerful, it was highly probable that it was difficult for her to see through such an illusion.
In other words, Fengxi Daoren had likely had intimate relations with him within the illusion.
That was why she had such high favorability toward him.
Clearly, Fengxi Daoren could not yet distinguish between the illusion and reality.
After all, the reason Fengxi Daoren was able to wake up was entirely due to the help of the Dream Soul Gu, not because of her own power.
This also caused her to be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion for a moment.
"Sigh, an illusion is always an illusion."
"In the end, it cannot replace reality."
"Although a peaceful life is indeed good, it lacks the protection of power."
"All peace is just an illusion."
"However, this was indeed a good experience; for me, it is indeed enough to temper my Dao Heart."
At this very moment, Fengxi Daoren's beautiful eyes began to firm up.
She indeed longed for such a peaceful life; this was a happiness and tranquility she, who had lived among the precarious Human Race since birth, had never experienced.
If possible, she also hoped to stay with this man forever, living together until they grew old and died.
Sometimes, growing old together with the person you like is not necessarily a bad thing.
Not everyone pursues immortality.
Even if one really attained immortality, so what? After immortality, what else should one do?
Could it be just to sit and watch the clouds go by?!
However, her Dao Heart was very firm. The reason she needed powerful strength was simple: to protect her race and to create a place where the Human Race could safely rest and multiply.
To achieve this goal, she needed invincible power to protect the Human Race and suppress one side.
"Ahem, Fengxi Daoren, could you please put on your clothes first?"
"After all, I am also a person with a Dao Companion."
"Although I know you are not one to stand on ceremony, speaking like this is indeed inconvenient."
At this moment, Zhou Sui coughed to remind Fengxi Daoren.
What?!
Hearing this, Fengxi Daoren's pretty face flushed red. She was shocked to discover that her current state was very wrong; she was actually stark naked, revealing her proud figure.
It seemed as if everything about her was exposed before this man.
Of course, in the illusion, both parties were like an old married couple, and they had done similar things more times than she could count.
So she had long since become accustomed to it.
Not to mention being stark naked like this, even in the countryside, stories had happened in every corner.
In short, in the illusion, she was quite wild, very curious about such things, and brave enough to try.
Perhaps because of the Six Desires Red Dust Qi, it infinitely magnified the Darkness in her heart, making her a bit corrupted.
It was simply no different from a demonic female cultivator.
"Wait, something is wrong. Could it be that I am not currently in an illusion?"
Fengxi Daoren's expression changed.
She seemed to have thought of a more terrifying fact.
That was that she was not currently in an illusion, but had appeared in reality.
Because she had just circulated the cultivation technique in her body and used her divine sense to perceive the surroundings, yet she did not find anything amiss; there was no hazy, illusory feeling like before.
It was as if she had truly left the illusion and appeared in reality.
"Fellow Daoist Fengxi, you are naturally not in an illusion right now."
"The Six Desires Red Dust Qi on your body has all been cleared away by me."
"So now you have already broken free from the Red Dust Illusion."
"As for why I appeared here, it is naturally because after I received your distress signal, I came here to save you."
Zhou Sui said straightforwardly, his eyes looking at Fengxi Daoren with great sincerity.
Boom!
In an instant, Fengxi Daoren's pretty face flushed red; with a wave of her hand, she immediately took out a set of clothes from her body and put them on instantly, covering up her perfect figure.
She now wished she could bury her head in the ground and never come out again.
Because this was truly too embarrassing.
After all, just a moment ago, she had displayed herself stark naked to this man, and had even almost gone into heat.
This was simply losing all the face she had as the Fengxi City Lord.
Fortunately, she hadn't said too much; otherwise, she would have had the heart to kill him to silence him.
However, her Dao Heart was extremely firm and her skin was thick; taking a deep breath, she completely calmed down: "My apologies, Daoist Zhou. Just now I was momentarily confused, thinking I was still in the illusion, and almost caused a misunderstanding. Please forget about what happened before."
"Rest assured, we are all Cultivators who have lived for who knows how long; this kind of thing is just a small matter."
Zhou Sui nodded.
Since Fengxi Daoren did not want to bring up this matter, he naturally would not be tactless.
But it had to be said, Fengxi Daoren's figure was indeed no less than Tao Qili's, and was even more noble and charming, giving one a sense of conquest, like a high and mighty empress.
It felt completely different from his own Dao Companions.
Although he had quite a few Dao Companions, he had indeed never tried this type before.
"Daoist Zhou, how did you find the Phoenix Immortal Mansion?"
"It is not an easy thing to enter the Phoenix Immortal Mansion."
A moment later, Fengxi Daoren calmed down, and to ease the awkwardness, she began to look for other topics.
At the same time, she was indeed very curious about how exactly Zhou Sui had entered the Phoenix Immortal Mansion.
After all, to enter the Phoenix Immortal Mansion, one needed to obtain a Phoenix Order.
The problem was that there were only 666 Phoenix Orders.
Most of them were controlled by the major races.
Only a small number of Phoenix Orders were obtained by Loose Cultivators.
That she was able to obtain one was already considered immense luck.
Never did she expect that Zhou Sui could also obtain one; it was truly inconceivable.
"As for that, it was also a stroke of luck for me."
"I happened to find a fellow Daoist who possessed a Phoenix Order."
"Then that fellow Daoist was also a good friend, so the other party brought me into the Phoenix Immortal Mansion."
"Immediately after, I happened to find Daoist Fengxi."
Zhou Sui smiled slightly.
He explained the sequence of events simply, indicating that he only happened to find Fengxi Daoren by chance, and that everything was an arrangement of heaven's will.
"By chance?"
"It seems my luck is not bad, to have actually been saved by Daoist Zhou by chance."
Fengxi Daoren looked at Zhou Sui deeply with her beautiful eyes.
If it were one coincidence, that would be fine, but with so many coincidences added together, it was no longer a coincidence.
It could only be said that the man before her must have mastered some kind of Secret Technique that allowed him to find her with ease.
Otherwise, this could not be explained.
Of course, since the other party was unwilling to say it, she would not be tactless enough to ask.
After all, the other party had saved her, and if she were to get to the bottom of everything, wouldn't that be returning kindness with ingratitude?
In short, one needs to know how to be muddled; Cultivators who get to the bottom of things too much do not live long.
Not to mention others, just speaking of herself, she also had many secrets that could not be leaked.
These secrets were her trump cards, and even her Dao Companion could not know them.
"Haha, this is also due to your luck, Daoist; your life was not meant to end."
Zhou Sui stood with his hands behind his back; since the other party did not get to the bottom of it, he was naturally happy to play along.
Of course, even if he said it, it wouldn't matter; in any case, Fengxi Daoren was also his prospective Dao Companion.
However, maintaining a sense of mystery seemed to be able to increase Fengxi Daoren's favorability toward him.
So he was happy to see it happen.
"In that case, the reason why the injuries on my body have healed is also due to you, Daoist?"
Fengxi Daoren continued to ask.
She knew that the injuries on her body were Law Injuries; even if she could break free from the Red Dust Illusion, she feared the injuries on her body would not have healed naturally.
The reason they healed must have a great deal to do with this man.
"That's right, I happened to master a divine ability that can heal injuries."
"Of course, this healing divine ability was also mastered only recently."
"So when Daoist Fengxi was injured before, I had no way to cast it."
"By the time I was able to cast it, Daoist Fengxi had already left Fengxi Island."
"But now, I have met Daoist Fengxi again in the Phoenix Immortal Mansion, so I took action to treat you."
"I hope you won't blame me for meddling."
Zhou Sui said.
"You took action to save me, how could that be considered meddling?"
"But I never expected that after working so hard to search for so many opportunities, I would actually be saved by someone from my own family."
"If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn't have needed to run around everywhere."
Fengxi Daoren was filled with emotion.
She didn't know what else to say.
She had originally thought she could only find a way to heal the injuries on her body by going outside to search for opportunities.
Who could have imagined that the man before her actually possessed the method to heal her.
After going around in circles, she had actually returned to the starting point.
This gave her the feeling that she had seemingly wasted her efforts.
However, she once again felt how unfathomable the man before her was; one had to know that this was a Law Injury, not something that could be healed by just any casual healing divine ability.
If it were truly that simple, her injuries would have long since healed, and she would not have waited until this moment.
"I wouldn't say that; if it weren't for Fellow Daoist Fengxi, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come to the Phoenix Immortal Mansion either."
"Moreover, there are still opportunities in the Phoenix Immortal Mansion, and I need your help, Fellow Daoist."
A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.
He sensed that the Luck Gu was now beginning to vibrate, and the golden Luck Golden Dragon above his head was rolling.
Clearly, the time for him to obtain the opportunity had arrived.
If he missed it, he would likely miss it for good, so he had to set off now.
"You found another opportunity in the Phoenix Immortal Mansion? What exactly is this opportunity?"
"Of course, if there is anything you need help with, just say the word."
"Even if it means going through fire and water, I will not refuse."
Fengxi Daoren said straightforwardly; she was also a person who knew how to repay kindness, so naturally, she wanted to repay Zhou Sui's life-saving grace.
"Follow me."
Zhou Sui grabbed Fengxi Daoren and activated the Teleportation Gu.
With a 'whoosh', the figures of the two flashed, and guided by the Luck Gu, they instantly arrived at the deepest part of the Phoenix Immortal Mansion.
"Th-this, what is this place?"
Fengxi Daoren did not yet understand what was happening, nor did she understand why Zhou Sui, a Refining Void Cultivator, could perform Instant Movement, because she was already shocked by the scene before her.
They saw a massive red energy wall appear in front of Zhou Sui and Fengxi Daoren, with dense Phoenix Runes engraved upon it, forming multiple layers of barriers.
Like an egg, it completely enveloped the area before them, with no blind spots in three hundred and sixty degrees.
Even the power of divine sense could not penetrate it.
This area was shrouded by a forbidden Array Formation.
Even a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator would not be able to break into it.
She could sense the terrifying degree of this barrier; it simply exceeded the limits of what the Spirit World could achieve.
"I'm not sure, but this is a place of opportunity I found."
Zhou Sui clenched his fists.
He felt the Luck Gu becoming increasingly excited, frantically urging him to enter inside.
The greatest opportunity of the Phoenix Immortal Mansion was located within this barrier.
If it could be obtained, the benefits would be infinite.
It would definitely be able to greatly enhance his own cultivation and strength.
"This is not as simple as an Eight-Tier Array."
"It should be an Immortal Array that has surpassed an Eight-Tier Array; otherwise, it wouldn't be this terrifying."
"I can't even really understand it."
Zhou Sui's eyes watched this massive red barrier.
He could sense that deep within this energy barrier, lines of laws were emerging, merging with each other to form terrifying killing arrays.
If one dared to trespass, they would surely be suppressed and killed by the Immortal Array.
This was a power that even a Great Vehicle Cultivator could not withstand.
To be honest, he also didn't know how he was supposed to enter the barrier.
"Strange, why do I feel like there is some voice inside calling to me, asking me to enter?"
Just at this moment, Fengxi Daoren seemed to hear something, and her whole person seemed to have encountered a summons.
Even though she was already a Combined Body Late Stage Cultivator, her feet moved forward involuntarily.
One of her hands was placed gently on the barrier just like that.
Boom~~~
Just at this moment, the Phoenix Rune between Fengxi Daoren's brows trembled, blooming with golden light, as if the phantom of a phoenix flew out from her body, flapping its wings and soaring high, letting out a long cry toward the sky.
It seemed that at this moment, the phoenix phantom resonated with this energy barrier.
The next second, a massive vortex appeared in this energy barrier.
Before Zhou Sui and Fengxi Daoren could react, the two were instantly swallowed by the vortex.
Then they appeared inside the barrier.
"No wonder it required the help of Fengxi Daoren."
"Is it impossible to enter the barrier without the power of Fengxi Daoren?"
"Could this place be the core of the Phoenix Immortal Mansion?"
Zhou Sui's eyes flickered.
He was not panicked at all; on the contrary, he was very calm.
Although he was a bit startled to have suddenly entered the barrier, he quickly calmed down.
In any case, there did not seem to be any danger at the moment.
If he were his true body, he would certainly have been a little flustered.
But since he was only a clone, it did not matter, and he felt no fear at all.
At this moment, he began to examine the surrounding environment, and the first thing he saw was a huge Immortal Palace appearing before him, with a plaque above it inscribed with three Immortal World characters: Phoenix Hall.
Although he could not read Immortal World characters, his Heart Eye Identifying Objects could discern their meaning.
Even if he had never seen them before, he knew exactly what the Immortal World characters represented.
"Something here seems to be calling to me."
Fengxi Daoren seemed unable to control her body's instincts at all; she walked toward the inside of Phoenix Hall, without the slightest hesitation, stepping directly through the palace gates.
Of course, Zhou Sui also followed Fengxi Daoren inside without any hesitation.
It seemed the palace had no defensive measures, nor were there any Forbidden Array to stop him from entering.
After entering the palace, he looked closely and saw before him a towering tree, covering ten thousand acres, ten thousand zhang tall, rising into the clouds with no end in sight, its leaves lush and spreading in all directions.
It grew dense red leaves and branches, strange Fazhe Wenlu appeared on its trunk, and the entire tree released raging flames.
It was as if every leaf and every branch on its body was condensed from flame energy.
Moreover, such flames were incomparably sacred.
They seemed to have no lethality.
Any living being that approached this tree would feel incomparably warm.
It was as if any injuries on one's body would heal rapidly.
It also felt as if wisps of flame were seeping into his body, cleansing his marrow and cutting his meridians, causing a rebirth.
Such flames were like the Life Fire, the Rebirth Fire, and the Healing Fire, truly possessing infinite marvelous uses.
Boom~~~
Suddenly, the power of Heart Eye Identifying Objects activated instantly.
A massive amount of information surged like a tide into the depths of his sea of consciousness.
"So that's it, this is the famous Divine Tree, the Wutong Tree, of the Immortal World."
Zhou Sui suddenly realized.
He instantly understood the origin of the divine tree before him; it was indeed the famous Wutong Tree.
It is said that this Wutong Tree is the home of the True Spirit Phoenix.
The Phoenix usually resides on the Wutong Tree.
Legend has it that the Divine Tree Wutong Tree contains incredible abilities and power, with infinite marvelous uses.
To tell the truth, the Wutong Tree is a divine tree that could never be nurtured in the lower realms.
Only the Immortal World could nurture such a Spirit Root of heaven and earth.
He had never expected to encounter a Wutong Tree in this place; it was truly inconceivable.
"I actually saw a Wutong Tree?"
"Could this place be the core of the Phoenix Immortal Mansion?"
"The place where the Phoenix once resided?!"
"Perhaps the Phoenix is not dead, but living here."
Zhou Sui's pupils constricted.
He had not expected to arrive at the core of the Phoenix Immortal Mansion so easily.
One must know that the Phoenix Immortal Mansion has appeared in the Spirit World for hundreds of millions of years, but no one has ever entered its core.
Nor has any Cultivator ever seen the Wutong Tree.
However, this was also a normal occurrence.
After all, the surroundings of Phoenix Hall are protected by an Immortal-grade barrier, and even a Great Vehicle Cultivator could not break in.
He had also relied on the power of the Luck Gu to turn decay into magic, as well as the bloodline power within Fengxi Daoren, to cross the barrier array and enter Phoenix Hall.
It is highly probable that only living beings possessing the Phoenix Bloodline have the opportunity to enter Phoenix Hall.
And Fengxi Daoren is just such a living being.
At the same time, he also suspected that the True Spirit Phoenix was not dead.
If it were not dead, then the existence he was about to face would not just be a simple Great Vehicle Cultivator, but very likely an Immortal-level creature, an extraordinary existence.
However, he sensed the power of the Luck Gu, and there seemed to be no arrival of Tribulation Qi.
On the contrary, the Luck on his body seemed to be growing increasingly intense.
Clearly, this event held no harm for him, only benefits.
Rumble~~
Just at this moment, Fengxi Daoren arrived directly beneath the Wutong Tree, and suddenly, rays of crimson light descended from the Wutong Tree, and wisps of crimson flame instantly merged into her body.
Immediately following this, Phoenix patterns seemed to appear on her body, as if a huge Phoenix had appeared on her back.
The bloodline power within her body received a geometric increase.
A power so vast it was beyond imagination was conceived within her body.
Vaguely, a force of the Phoenix instantly merged into her body, becoming a part of her being.
At this moment, her entire body was wrapped in flames, as if undergoing a rebirth through fire.
"An incredible divine tree."
"No wonder the Phoenix resides on the Wutong Tree."
"This Wutong Tree can not only protect the Phoenix but also heal all injuries on the Phoenix's body."
"Moreover, staying within the Wutong Tree can also help a phoenix's cultivation improve rapidly."
"Of course, for the Wutong Tree, it can also absorb the flames from the phoenix's body, thereby growing rapidly."
"The two are simply the best partners, complementing each other."
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes; he immediately saw the symbiotic relationship between the phoenix and the Wutong Tree.
And Fengxi Daoren, having arrived before the Wutong Tree, also gained tremendous benefits.
Although her body did indeed contain the Phoenix Bloodline, compared to a true phoenix, it was unknown how far behind it lagged.
However, after being baptized by the power of the Wutong Tree, her constitution underwent a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change, and the Phoenix Bloodline within her would also receive a rapid boost.
In the future, when the bloodline becomes rich to a certain degree, perhaps she could truly transform into a real phoenix.
For Fengxi Daoren, this was undoubtedly an unprecedented opportunity, even an opportunity sufficient to become an immortal.
"Fengxi Daoren has found her opportunity, but where is my opportunity?"
Zhou Sui rubbed his chin and began to scan his surroundings, searching for his own opportunity.
Soon, he noticed that on one of the branches of the Wutong Tree, there seemed to be a crimson ball of light perched, burning fiercely like a mass of flames.
But these flames were dim and lusterless, as if they were about to be extinguished.
He could perceive the aura of decay from this mass of flames.
"A phoenix; this is a true phoenix."
A trace of startling brilliance appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.
He activated his Heart Eye Power and instantly perceived that deep inside this ball of light, a young phoenix was resting; it was as if it were a newly born phoenix, and an incredible power permeated its body.
Unfortunately, this young phoenix was about to die.
Having mastered the Golden Cicada Gu, Zhou Sui was extremely sensitive to life force; although the aura of this young phoenix was terrifying, it was indeed gradually stepping toward death.
It would not take long before it completely fell into extinction.
Of course, he did not find this strange.
Even a phoenix, which is touted as immortal and indestructible, could potentially die.
If immortals truly could not die, then the Spirit World would not have so many fallen Immortal Mansions.
And he would not have obtained the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit.
"Human."
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out deep within Zhou Sui's sea of consciousness; it seemed extremely ancient and vicissitudinous, unfathomable, as if it were a creature that had survived for an unknown amount of time.
"Who is it?"
Zhou Sui clenched his fists, his expression very grave; he had not expected that there would be other living beings in this empty Phoenix Hall, though he was not overly nervous, as no murderous intent had appeared.
In other words, this voice that had suddenly appeared perhaps held no malice or murderous intent toward him.
"I am the Wutong Tree before you."
At this very moment, the huge Wutong Tree before his eyes trembled gently, seemingly swaying its massive flames, and vaguely, it felt as if a giant phoenix were waking up.
This power of flames seemed to burn through the Void, causing the laws to vibrate.
But it seemed to have perceived something and retracted the aura on its body.
"Wutong Tree? Then what do you want to do?"
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes; although he was a little surprised, he could understand it.
After all, the Wutong Tree is a Divine Tree, so it is not an incredible thing for it to be born with intelligence.
Moreover, the other party's actions and tone did not seem to want to harm him.
"I can perceive my friend's life force on you."
"So I hope you can save my friend, Feng Jiuyou."
The Wutong Tree did not hide anything, nor did it beat around the bush; it said so straightforwardly.
"Is your friend perhaps this phoenix?"
Zhou Sui raised an eyebrow.
Clearly, a creature that could become a friend of the Wutong Tree was also not simple; besides this phoenix on the verge of death, there was no one else. This was simple logical deduction, nothing strange.
"That is correct."
The Wutong Tree admitted this.
"I am afraid you are overestimating me; this is a True Spirit phoenix, and I have no ability to save her."
Zhou Sui said indifferently.
"No, you can definitely save her."
"My innate divine ability is a Divination Immortal Art, capable of discerning the future and seeing through fate."
"When you arrived, you had already touched fate."
"From the results of the divination, you indeed have the ability to save my friend."
The Wutong Tree said in a deep voice.
In fact, if this were not the case, it would not have opened the gate of the barrier to invite Zhou Sui and Fengxi Daoren over.
Of course, its awakening also had to do with Fengxi Daoren.
It was the aura of the Phoenix Bloodline on Fengxi Daoren that caused it to briefly awaken from its slumber of billions of years, and only then did it notice this mysterious Human Cultivator.
"This."
Hearing this, Zhou Sui fell silent; he had to admit that this Wutong Tree indeed had some ability.
After all, the Golden Cicada Gu on his body possessed the ability to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones.
If there was anyone in the entire Spirit World who could save this phoenix, there was no one else but him.
"It seems my divination was indeed correct; you truly have the ability to save my friend."
The Wutong Tree saw Zhou Sui's expression and was very excited.
Of course, normally speaking, it would be impossible for a mere creature of the lower realm to save an immortal from the upper realm.
It is just like how no matter how capable an ant is, it cannot save a human who is terminally ill.
However, there are no absolutes in this world.
For a Wutong Tree that has lived for countless years, it never underestimates any living creature.
After all, the Human Race is considered a super race in the Immortal World, famous throughout the Immortal World.
Who knows what kind of abilities the human before it possesses.
"You must be immortals from the Immortal World; why have you come to the Spirit World?"
Zhou Sui did not answer, but instead asked a question in return.
He wanted to know the truth about why the Phoenix descended to the mortal world.
"It is to seek refuge."
"My friend was attacked by enemies in the Immortal World and fell into a crisis of death."
"In order to survive, we were forced to fall from the Immortal World into the Spirit World."
"Of course, as members of the Phoenix Clan, our vitality is powerful, and we possess a unique life Immortal Technique—Phoenix Nirvana."
"Normally speaking, no matter how severe the injuries are, they cannot kill a Phoenix."
"But the enemy was truly too cunning; they deliberately used a special Immortal Technique to obstruct the operation of my friend's Immortal Technique, thereby keeping my friend in a state of near-death."
"If this continues, I am afraid my friend will truly perish."
The Wutong Tree was filled with worry.
In fact, it was not just the Phoenix; even it was in a state of severe injury, unable to exert much of its power, and had been in a state of comatose due to severe injury all these years.
If it were not for the aura of Fengxi Daoren's Phoenix Bloodline awakening it, it would not have woken up.
In short, that battle in the Immortal World caused them heavy losses, almost leading to their demise.
"Seeking refuge?"
Hearing this, Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
No wonder the Luck Gu indicated that if he saved this Phoenix, it would not just be a matter of gaining great Luck, but would also bring about a huge catastrophe.
This is what is called fortune and misfortune being interdependent.
Since one has obtained benefits from the Phoenix, one must bear the karma of the Phoenix.
This is also an inevitable matter.
As a human who saved the Phoenix, one would naturally be viewed with hostility by the Phoenix's enemies, and might even be hunted down by the other party; this is also something that cannot be avoided.
"However, looking at the results, the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages."
"After all, the place I am currently in is the Spirit World, and even immortals from the upper realm cannot easily descend."
"Even if they truly descend, they will be suppressed by the Interface Law and can at most exert True Spirit Level combat power."
"If it is only to this extent, then there is nothing to fear."
Zhou Sui was weighing the pros and cons.
If saving the Phoenix yields benefits that outweigh the disadvantages, then this matter is worth doing.
Where in this world is there such a thing as a free lunch?
Everything has a price marked behind fate, it is just a matter of whether the cost is large or small.
"Human, you do not need to worry about anything."
"If you save my friend, as a benefactor of the Phoenix, you will naturally be able to obtain huge benefits."
Seeing that Zhou Sui was still silent, the Wutong Tree decided to increase the stakes.
It felt that the reason this human would not agree to this matter was merely because he was worried that the benefits were not enough.
If the benefits were sufficient, then he would dare to do anything.
Humans in the Immortal World are like this.
And humans in the Spirit World probably would not be any different.
"Oh, tell me in detail, what benefits can I obtain?"
Zhou Sui raised his eyebrows and looked at the Wutong Tree.
"I possess an Immortal Artifact, named Slaying Immortal Flying Knife."
"This Immortal Artifact was obtained by my friend after slaying an immortal."
"Its power is immense; if you can successfully refine it, then you will be invincible in the Spirit World."
"Even if a True Immortal descends, holding this blade, you will be able to kill them with a single strike."
The Wutong Tree thought carefully and spoke.
Boom~~
Suddenly, a golden hole appeared on its body, and from within it flew out a black flying knife, about the size of a palm and three feet long, with dense Immortal World Talismans engraved upon it.
The moment this blade appeared, it immediately permeated with monstrous killing intent, as if it did not know how many living creatures it had slaughtered.
At the same time, it also contained a destructive aura, making one's heart tremble and shudder uncontrollably.
Without a doubt, the power of this blade was beyond imagination.
"Immortal Artifact Slaying Immortal Flying Knife?!"
Seeing this Immortal Artifact, Zhou Sui's pupils constricted; he could immediately sense the power of this Immortal Artifact.
Compared to the Mountain Sea Pearl and Emperor Demon Hammer he had obtained before, it seemed even more powerful.
This seemed to be a pure killing Immortal Artifact, containing unparalleled offensive power.
Daring to use "Slaying Immortal" as its name, one can imagine the ferocity of this Immortal Artifact.
If one could activate this Immortal Artifact, then one's combat power would certainly receive an astonishing boost.
"You are currently only at the Infusion Late Stage, right?"
"But given your aptitude, it is only a matter of time before you ascend to the Great Vehicle Realm in the future."
"It just so happens that I have an Eight-Tier Pill Recipe here, named the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill."
"This type of pill can increase an Integration Stage cultivator's probability of ascending to the Great Vehicle Realm by fifty percent."
"Many cultivators in the Immortal World also consume this type of Eight-Tier pill to ascend to the Great Vehicle Realm."
"More importantly, the main ingredient for this Eight-Tier Pill Recipe is the Zhou Tian Star Soul Fruit, which can be fully found within the Spirit World."
The Wutong Tree took out another Eight-Tier Pill Recipe from its body.
Although there are many pills in the Immortal World that can help Integration Stage cultivators ascend to the Great Vehicle Realm, the vast majority of these pills cannot be refined in the Spirit World because the Spirit World simply lacks such Spirit Medicine.
It searched for a long time before finding an Eight-Tier Pill Recipe suitable for use in the Spirit World.
Clearly, this is also extremely suitable for the Integration Stage cultivators of this world.
"Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill?!"
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes; he had to admit that this Wutong Tree was indeed extraordinary, as every gift it gave hit the mark, being exactly what he needed.
One must know that pills capable of helping Integration Stage cultivators ascend to the Great Vehicle Realm are truly too few, nearly extinct.
Even among the True Spirit Race, there are not many similar pills.
As for the Human Race of the Spirit World, that goes without saying.
Seven-Tier Pill Recipes are already extremely rare, and as for Eight-Tier Pill Recipes, there is likely not a single one.
This is also unavoidable; after all, the foundation of the Human Race is still a bit too weak.
The number of Great Vehicle Cultivators born in the Human Race throughout the generations is also extremely small.
"Why can this type of pill help one ascend from Integration to Great Vehicle?"
Zhou Sui asked.
"I believe you also know that the most difficult point in wanting to ascend from Integration to Great Vehicle is the enhancement of Origin Spirit power."
"Once one ascends to a Great Vehicle Cultivator, the Origin Spirit will undergo a earth-shattering change and condense into an Origin Spirit Dao Seed."
"This is the beginning of becoming a True Immortal."
"Then, as a Great Vehicle Cultivator continuously cultivates and improves their cultivation base, the Origin Spirit Dao Seed will transform and condense into a True Immortal Dao Fruit; this is the cultivation of a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator."
The Wutong Tree smiled slightly, briefly explaining the cultivation principles of Great Vehicle Cultivators.
For it, this matter was child's play; it had long been common knowledge in the Immortal World.
Of course, for the weak races of the Spirit World, this is top-secret knowledge that could never be imparted.
Even within the Human Imperial City, there are no records of such top-secret information.
After all, the number of Great Vehicle Cultivators in the Human Race is scarce; how could they record so many cultivation experiences of Great Vehicle Cultivators?
"In other words, the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill can help an Integration Stage cultivator condense an Origin Spirit Dao Seed?"
Zhou Sui was truly enlightened upon hearing these words; after all, he had previously had no idea how to ascend to a Great Vehicle Cultivator, and even the Scripture Pavilion of Fengxi City had no records of such knowledge.
It could be said that the knowledge in the Scripture Pavilion of Fengxi City topped out at the Seventh Tier.
As for books related to anything above the Great Vehicle, there was not a single one.
This cannot be blamed on Fengxi City; it is truly because the Human Race is too weak.
Very few cultivators can even reach the Great Vehicle realm.
He remained calm and continued to probe for information regarding Great Vehicle Cultivators.
"That's right, wanting to condense an Origin Spirit Dao Seed is not such an easy matter."
"If one's Origin Spirit power is weak, one will fail to condense the Dao Seed, and thus one's soul will scatter."
"The vast majority of Integration Stage cultivators cannot rely on their own strength to condense an Origin Spirit Dao Seed."
"At this time, one needs to borrow the power of pills to make a breakthrough in one go."
The Wutong Tree explained.
It did not mind Zhou Sui's little schemes, nor did it make any attempt to hide anything, directly telling the other party information regarding Great Vehicle Realm Cultivators.
This was also a gesture of goodwill it was releasing.
As long as this Human Cultivator before it could help save its friend, then what did these things matter?
Therefore, it was now telling everything it knew without reservation.
"No wonder there are so many Integration Stage cultivators, yet so few Great Vehicle Cultivators."
"I'm afraid it's not just as simple as the terror of the Great Vehicle Realm's tribulation."
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
In fact, most Integration Stage cultivators are not even qualified to trigger the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation; they often don't even have the chance to break through to the Great Vehicle Realm, let alone attempt to undergo the tribulation.
If one cannot even break through to the Great Vehicle Realm, then one shouldn't even think about what comes after.
Therefore, for an Integration Stage cultivator, the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill is simply an Immortal Pill, worth a fortune.
If such a pill were to appear in the Spirit World, it would definitely drive countless Integration Stage cultivators and Great Vehicle Cultivators crazy.
"How about it? I wonder if this is enough sincerity?"
The Wutong Tree looked at Zhou Sui, wanting to know what choice this Human Cultivator would make.
"The sincerity is not bad."
"But if I save this phoenix, I will also bring upon myself great trouble and karma."
"So, with just this bargaining chip alone, it is far from enough."
Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.
"What else do you need? As long as I can afford it, I will certainly give it."
The Wutong Tree asked with great joy.
It did not care at all about so-called worldly possessions; as long as its friend was still alive, then all these worldly possessions could be retrieved.
Right now, it was not afraid at all that this Human Cultivator before it would make exorbitant demands; it only feared that the other party would not even want to propose any conditions.
If that were the case, it would bury the hope of its friend's resurrection.
At this moment, it looked at Zhou Sui with great anticipation, wanting to know exactly what kind of conditions this Human Cultivator had.
