Chapter 593: Immortal King's Opportunity, the Essence Blood of the Most Ancient Phoenix

True Spirit World, Phoenix Immortal Mansion.

A certain space.

Hidden here are many of Feng Jiuyou's subordinates; they are all extremely powerful immortals from the Immortal World, at the very least Heavenly Immortals.

Some are even Mysterious Immortals and Golden Immortals.

Basically, they are all elites of the True Spirit Alliance.

Otherwise, they would not be qualified to be Feng Jiuyou's subordinates.

It is just that they are currently sealed inside the Phoenix Immortal Mansion and cannot get out at all.

After all, the Phoenix Immortal Mansion possesses a Great Luo Golden Immortal array; mere Golden Immortals cannot run wild in the Immortal Mansion.

More importantly, there is also a Wutong Tree presiding over the Phoenix Immortal Mansion.

Those immortals of the True Spirit Alliance naturally cannot say much.

"Hasn't he already become a Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

"Without a doubt, the Master is afraid that there is a traitor among us."

"After all, the Master's operation last time was very secretive, yet it still encountered an enemy ambush."

In order to avoid any accidents, he did not return to the Phoenix Immortal Mansion.

"Finally back."

Many immortals cursed loudly, feeling that the other party was insulting them.

"You brat, don't sow discord here."

"Don't be nervous, this is just my guess; who knows if it's true."

"Eh? Isn't that the human little guy from a million years ago? How did he come here together?"

At the beginning, this was merely their own guess.

This also means they do not need to continue being trapped inside the Phoenix Immortal Mansion and can finally be freed.

"If it weren't for a traitor leaking information, how could the Master have encountered such a disaster?"

But as it turned out, over the past million years, Feng Jiuyou had no intention of returning to the Phoenix Immortal Mansion at all.

"Shut up, we are loyal to the Master; how could we possibly betray the Master?"

"Doesn't the Master need the many Immortal Medicines inside the Phoenix Immortal Mansion to quickly recover his injuries and cultivation?"

But some immortals had pale faces, their expressions shifting, as if their thoughts had been guessed correctly.

The Wutong Tree, which was originally in a deep slumber, woke up immediately, and then it sensed the auras of Zhou Sui and Feng Jiuyou, feeling very comforted.

It did not care at all that its words would cause huge turmoil among the companions present.

It is a pity that a traitor is always a traitor, hidden very deeply; how could it be so easy to spot?

"Since the Master broke free, more than a million years have passed."

"It's the Master, the Master is back."

"But the Master has been unwilling to return for so long; clearly, he already doubts our loyalty."

They could only stay honestly inside the Phoenix Immortal Mansion, waiting for the opportunity to leave.

"That is to say, once the Master truly returns to the Phoenix Immortal Mansion, it means the Master has recovered his full cultivation, and at the same time, he will definitely know who the traitor is."

"But until now, he has not returned to the Phoenix Immortal Mansion even once; why on earth is this?"

In an instant, the many immortals inside the Phoenix Immortal Mansion were overjoyed; they never expected that the Master would return at this time, which was great news for them.

A Golden Immortal subordinate felt very puzzled.

Originally, it thought that after Feng Jiuyou was resurrected, he would return to the Phoenix Immortal Mansion at the first opportunity to open the treasury inside the Immortal Mansion and obtain the Immortal Medicines and Immortal Pills within, thereby quickly recovering his injuries and cultivation.

But the Master not returning for such a long time has undoubtedly confirmed this point.

Now the Master already suspects that there is a traitor among them.

"Don't you all know the specific reason why the Master does not return to the Phoenix Immortal Mansion?"

"No, something is wrong; how could this human brat's cultivation be terrifying to this extent?"

Another Golden Immortal sneered and swept a glance across the many companions.

It seems as if he doesn't need the Immortal Medicines and Immortal Pills in the treasury at all.

That Golden Immortal said faintly.

"If you are sensible, stand up now and admit your mistake voluntarily; otherwise, if you really wait for the Master to return, I'm afraid you will die without a burial place. Don't think that the figures behind you can protect you."

But when it sensed the tyrannical aura on Zhou Sui, it was instantly stunned; it was simply unbelievable.

This left it completely baffled, not knowing what had happened.

Boom~~

Just at this moment, before this group of immortals could say anything, the entire Phoenix Immortal Mansion suddenly shook, ripples appeared in the Void, and then two figures instantly appeared inside the Phoenix Immortal Mansion.

It swept a glance across the many companions, seemingly wanting to see their expressions and then discern some trickery from them.

"Hehe, once bitten, twice shy."

After all, it clearly remembered that when this human brat was here over a million years ago, he was at most an Integration Stage cultivator.

But now, how much time has passed? It's not just as simple as becoming an immortal.

He has even become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This is simply too exaggerated.

For a moment, it even thought it was having some kind of hallucination.

Because such a thing is simply too absurd.

"Finally arrived at the Phoenix Immortal Mansion again."

Zhou Sui looked at the entire Phoenix Immortal Mansion; at this moment, his divine sense enveloped the Phoenix Immortal Mansion in all directions. As a Sixth-tier Immortal Array master, he could easily discern the mysteries of this Cave Abode's Immortal Array.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a Great Luo Cave Abode; no wonder it could withstand the suppression of the mortal world's laws and thus remain in the mortal world all this time.

The Cave Abode's Sixth-tier Immortal Array is indeed extremely powerful.

It is a pity, however, that this Sixth-tier Immortal Array has already been damaged and is not as powerful as it was in its prime.

Previously, he had also thought about letting the Array Heart Gu infiltrate this Sixth-tier Immortal Array.

But he discovered that this was a damaged Sixth-tier Immortal Array, so even if the infiltration were successful, there would be no great gain.

Therefore, it would be better to infiltrate the Great Luo Array of the Yuhua Sect.

"There truly exists the power of a Curse here."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He sensed that the entire Phoenix Immortal Mansion was shrouded in layers of terrifying Curse power, covering every direction, like bone-eating maggots, merging into the depths of the Immortal Mansion's array patterns.

Even wanting to eliminate the Curse is basically an impossible task.

After all, the Curse and the Immortal Array have long since merged into one.

The two are inseparable.

Fortunately, Feng Jiuyou did not return to the Phoenix Immortal Mansion before; I fear that the moment she entered the Immortal Mansion, the power of the Curse would have been triggered, allowing the enemy to lock onto the aura on Feng Jiuyou once again.

At that time, no matter where she hid, it would have been useless.

"So that's how it is; were Feng Jiuyou's subordinates hiding in the inner space of the Phoenix Immortal Mansion all along?"

At this moment, Zhou Sui sensed that there were immortals existing within the inner space of the Phoenix Immortal Mansion.

The number exceeded a hundred.

In fact, compared to the Phoenix Immortal Mansion in its prime, the number of subordinates was unknown how many times fewer.

These remaining subordinates were merely those who had luckily survived.

If not for Feng Jiuyou driving the power of the Phoenix Immortal Mansion to break through the barriers of the Immortal World and flee into the mortal world, I fear her subordinates would basically have died at the hands of the enemy and could not have survived at all.

"However, even so, there are still traitors among these subordinates."

Zhou Sui moved his mind, and the power of his divine sense gently swept over all the immortals inside the Phoenix Immortal Mansion.

He sensed that among these immortals, there were three auras that were evil and filled with malice.

This is a type of application of the Great Luck Art.

To tell the truth, he does not need any evidence.

As long as there is a backlash of Luck, it proves that the other party is definitely an enemy and harmful to himself.

Such individuals are, with high probability, traitors.

Boom~~~

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui grabbed with his large hand, tearing through space, and instantly snatched these three auras out; they were shockingly three Golden Immortals, all descendants from the Phoenix Clan.

Then they lay on the ground like dead dogs, unable to move.

The power within their bodies was also instantly sealed, unable to exert even the slightest bit of strength.

"These are the traitors who betrayed you last time."

Zhou Sui said straightforwardly.

"Feng Ming, is it actually you who betrayed me?"

"Why on earth is this?"

Although Feng Jiuyou had long since anticipated it, seeing these three figures, she still could not help but be shocked.

After all, these three were old followers who had been with her for a very long time.

One dare not say they were loyal and devoted, but no matter how one looked at it, they did not seem like traitors who would betray her.

But since it was the words of the man before her, then it must be true.

"Master, n-no, it is not us."

"We are not traitors."

"That's right, don't listen to this guy's words; we are all innocent."

"We have followed you for so long, how could we be traitors? There must be some mistake somewhere."

Feng Ming and the other two Golden Immortals cried out in grievance repeatedly, feeling that they had been wronged.

"You dare to quibble when death is at hand."

"I don't need any harsh torture; I will just perform a Soul Search."

"I believe your memories will explain everything."

Zhou Sui watched the performance of these three traitors indifferently; for a Great Luo Golden Immortal of his level, there was no longer any need for low-level interrogation methods like harsh torture.

Thud!

Instantly, he activated the power of the Dream Soul Gu, directly devouring the primordial spirits of the three Golden Immortals, and then their vast memories submerged into the deep interior of the Dream Soul Gu at the first moment.

He also instantly understood the reason for the betrayal of these three Golden Immortals.

"What is going on? Why would they betray me?"

Feng Jiuyou looked at Zhou Sui.

"It cannot exactly be called betrayal; they were never people loyal to you from the very beginning."

"It seems the master behind them is called Feng Qiudao."

"They received orders from Feng Qiudao to lurk by your side."

"All along, they followed you loyally, until the last trip, when they received their master's orders."

"Then they leaked your whereabouts, causing you to be ambushed."

Zhou Sui said straightforwardly.

He sensed that this Feng Qiudao seemed to be an ancient Great Luo Golden Immortal with unfathomable cultivation.

Once its name is spoken, it will be sensed, thereby tracing the cause and effect.

However, he is not an ordinary immortal, but a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

He also has the protection of Luck Gu on his body, covering infinite Luck, capable of isolating and shielding all causal tracking.

Therefore, even if this name is spoken, he does not worry that he will be sensed by Feng Qiudao.

But others cannot speak this name casually.

"To think it is his subordinate?!"

Feng Jiuyou's expression was very ugly; she did not expect that she would actually hear the name of Feng Qiudao.

After all, in the Phoenix race, Feng Qiudao is also a Great Luo Golden Immortal of equal fame to herself.

Even in terms of seniority and strength, he is a cut above her, and he is also highly respected.

He is hailed as the genius of the Phoenix race with the most hope of becoming an Immortal King.

Yet she never imagined that the enemy plotting against her was actually this Feng Qiudao.

"Why does he want to plot against you?"

Zhou Sui asked curiously.

Although he could know from the memories that this mastermind was Feng Qiudao, they were always just pawns, and could not know the deeper reasons.

"If I haven't guessed wrong, perhaps it is for an Immortal King opportunity in the Phoenix Ancestral Land."

Feng Jiuyou took a deep breath and stated her guess: "Although we are all True Spirit Descendants and naturally possess super-strong talent, wanting to become an Immortal King is still fraught with difficulties."

Within the Phoenix race, the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals is not small, but Immortal Kings are few and far between; this is like a natural chasm, preventing countless geniuses from stepping into this supreme Domain.

However, my Phoenix race still has one kind of Immortal King opportunity, which comes from the Phoenix Essence Blood of the ancestor; if one consumes this drop of Essence Blood, then one can increase the concentration of the Phoenix Bloodline in the body, and even gain insight into the opportunity to break through to Immortal King from it.

It is a pity that such an Immortal King opportunity is extremely rare; basically, only the most outstanding Great Luo Golden Immortals in the clan have the chance to obtain it, otherwise, this opportunity would be wasted.

In fact, many Great Luo Golden Immortals of my Phoenix race are competitors; I had thought of many enemies before, but I did not expect that the one who took action against me was actually Feng Qiudao."

She now also understands why the Great Luo Golden Immortals within her clan tried to plot against her.

Everything is for the Immortal King opportunity.

After all, if Feng Qiudao wants to obtain this opportunity, he needs to eliminate every competitor.

Without a doubt, as one of the strongest geniuses of the Phoenix race, Feng Jiuyou is naturally a thorn in his side.

It is precisely because of this that he did not hesitate to collude with the Human Race's Tianjue Daoist, with the goal of eliminating Feng Jiuyou.

If it were not for Feng Jiuyou having many methods, she would have died long ago and would not have lived until today.

Of course, even if he did not kill Feng Jiuyou, merely crippling Feng Jiuyou.

Then for Feng Qiudao, it could also be considered as having achieved his goal.

"Phoenix Essence Blood?"

Zhou Sui looked at Feng Jiuyou curiously, wanting to know what this was.

"You must know that in the Universe, there indeed exist some True Spirit phoenixes."

"But those are just ones gestated by some Small Worlds, and their strength is not particularly powerful."

"However, our Phoenix race's ancestor Phoenix is different; it was gestated from the Immortal World and can be called the most ancient and formidable True Spirit, whose strength had long reached the Immortal King level, and it was also one of the members who founded the True Spirit Alliance."

"The feathers and Essence Blood on its body both contain incredible power."

"Especially for us Phoenix descendants, if we can obtain them, we can gain unimaginable benefits."

"Phoenix descendants with astonishing talent can even trace back to the end of the bloodline based on the power of the ancestor's Essence Blood, thereby obtaining the ancestor Phoenix's insights into the laws."

"Ever since a certain catastrophe, the ancestor Phoenix disappeared, and the Essence Blood left in the Ancestral Land has become increasingly scarce."

"If a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Phoenix race does not have the assistance of Phoenix Essence Blood, it is almost difficult to become an Immortal King."

"So for us descendants of the Phoenix race, this can be called an Immortal King opportunity."

Any Great Luo Golden Immortal would not miss such an opportunity.

Feng Jiuyou explained.

"Why did such a powerful Immortal King suddenly fall?"

Zhou Sui asked curiously.

Many Immortal Kings in the Immortal World seem to often suffer calamities and perish for unknown reasons.

Previously, his strength was weak, so he did not want to investigate such matters too much.

After all, curiosity killed the cat.

Without sufficient strength, knowing the truth of the matter actually has no meaning.

But now it is different.

His cultivation is already strong enough, and he has even become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so he is also qualified to know the truth of the matter.

"The specific reason is not very clear."

"But it is said that it has a great connection with the Eternal Night Land."

"In the past, the ancient Immortal Kings of the Five Great Super Races joined forces, attempting to explore the deepest part of the Eternal Night Land."

"It is a pity that that exploration was basically a one-way trip."

"Many ancient Immortal Kings went missing, and it is unknown whether they are dead or alive."

Feng Jiuyou shook her head.

She also wanted to know what the truth of the matter was.

It is a pity that such secrets can only be known by Immortal Kings.

Previously, she was only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and those Immortal Kings within the clan did not intend to pass this news on.

So she only knew some minor details of the intelligence.

As for more specific and detailed intelligence, she knew absolutely nothing.

"The Eternal Night Land again?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes; there was no doubt that the source of all calamities in the Immortal World originated from the Eternal Night Land.

Even Immortal Kings were curious about what lay at the end of the Eternal Night Land and what secrets it contained.

However, his current strength was not enough, and he could not explore the depths of the Eternal Night Land.

At the very least, he had to become an Immortal King before he could begin exploring the Eternal Night Land.

To know the deepest secrets of the Immortal World.

Rumble~~

Just at this moment, the entire Phoenix Immortal Mansion began to shake once more, roaring with sound.

The boundless power of the Curse hidden deep within the Immortal Mansion actually began to squirm, causing the sky above the Immortal Mansion to be covered in dark clouds, blood-red light to scatter in all directions, and countless wronged souls to roar.

Above the firmament, countless powers of the Curse gathered together, shockingly condensing into black, twisted characters, as if countless Fazhe Wenlu were engraved upon them, branding the Void.

"Oh no, the Immortal Mansion still holds that Tianjue Daoist's Curse."

Feng Jiuyou's expression changed.

Without a doubt, Tianjue Daoist was truly calculating and had long since set up a double Curse.

If Feng Jiuyou came back to life and luckily dodged the first Curse, then the second Curse would be triggered within the Immortal Mansion.

It began to erupt with a second strike.

Being able to dodge the first was one thing, but wanting to dodge the second Curse was almost impossible.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

The next second, countless black, twisted characters tore through the Void, turning into streaks of black light that instantly submerged into Feng Jiuyou's body, causing the power of the Curse within her to erupt once again.

Supreme Curse—the Fate-Seizing Soul-Devouring Curse!

Immediately, the black, twisted power of the Curse coiled around her Soul, attempting to erode Feng Jiuyou's Soul once more, wanting to drag her Soul completely down into the endless Void.

But just at this moment, Feng Jiuyou's Soul instantly erupted with a dazzling golden light, seemingly forming a golden barrier; this was the power coming from the Infatuation Gu.

Without a doubt, the Infatuation Gu was protecting the Soul of every one of Zhou Sui's Dao Companions, ensuring that the Dao Companions' Souls would not encounter any danger, which could be called an absolute defense.

Especially the Infatuation Gu that had reached the Immortal King level; its defensive power was so formidable it was outrageous.

Each and every Curse Talisman attempted to invade Feng Jiuyou's soul, but they were all blocked.

At the same time, the massive power of the Curse, under the vast Luck, dissolved one after another, sizzling as it did so.

Clearly, as Zhou Sui's Dao Companion, Feng Jiuyou also received the protection of vast Luck.

For mere power of the Curse to want to harm Feng Jiuyou was basically impossible.

"I, I'm okay?"

Feng Jiuyou was a bit stunned; she had originally thought that after encountering the Curse again, even if she didn't die, she would definitely be heavily injured. Who could have imagined that she was actually completely unscathed.

It seemed there was an inexplicable power protecting her, thereby allowing her to block the power of the Curse.

"Simply courting death."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sui revealed a trace of a Cold Glow.

Although the second Curse eruption did indeed nearly harm Feng Jiuyou, it also completely exposed the location of Tianjue Daoist; after all, this power of the Curse was inextricably linked to the caster themselves.

It was fundamentally impossible to sever that connection.

Vaguely, he sensed streaks of black Causal Lines extending from the Mortal World, all the way into the Immortal World, and finally to the headquarters of the Tianjue Sect of the Human Race in the Immortal World.

"Found you."

Zhou Sui moved his consciousness, activating the power of the Teleportation Gu; having reached the Fourteenth-tier Low-Grade Teleportation Gu, as long as he could sense the other party's aura, he could instantly arrive at the other party's location.

This was the formidable nature of the Great Luo-level Teleportation Gu; it simply ignored the distance of time and space.

Swish!

The next second, Zhou Sui's figure flashed, and he instantly arrived at the Tianjue Sect in the Immortal World.

He didn't care at all whether Tianjue Daoist would still launch a third Curse.

As long as he killed this Tianjue Daoist, then no matter what the Curse was, it would completely disappear.

…………

At this very moment, in the Immortal World's Tianjue Sect, at Tianjue Peak.

This was the place where the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tianjue Daoist usually went into seclusion to cultivate.

After more than a million years of cultivation, and having spent a large amount of Immortal Medicine and Immortal Pills, Tianjue Daoist had finally recovered from the injuries on his body.

Although he was not at his peak, he would not have any major issues if he were to fight an enemy.

"Who is to say that a misfortune is not a blessing?"

"Although the backlash last time did indeed leave me heavily injured and nearly caused my death."

"But thanks to this, I took the opportunity to glimpse the mysteries of the Death Law and found a way to break through to become an Immortal King."

"If I continue to cultivate like this, perhaps I have a great chance to break through the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and become an Immortal King."

Tianjue Daoist laughed heartily, feeling very satisfied.

Between life and death lies great terror.

This also allowed him to turn a misfortune into a blessing, even producing a sudden enlightenment, feeling and comprehending the Death Law.

Only by comprehending the Death Law could a Great Luo Golden Immortal achieve a breakthrough and become an Immortal King.

However, the Life Law and the Death Law were completely different laws; wanting to comprehend the Death Law was a rather difficult matter for a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

If not for the fear and sudden enlightenment of being on the verge of life and death, he would not have been able to capture such a sliver of an opportunity for a breakthrough.

From a certain perspective, he even had to thank Feng Jiuyou for bringing him that life-and-death crisis.

"Oh, Feng Jiuyou actually returned to the Phoenix Immortal Mansion? Has she finally lost her patience?"

"Since that is the case, then let's test the contingency plan I left behind."

"Let's see if you can still withstand a second Curse."

"With a double Curse erupting, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would have to die."

Tianjue Daoist's heart stirred, and a look of heartfelt joy appeared on his face; he felt that today was truly a double blessing.

Not only had he found the opportunity to break through to Immortal King, but he had even sensed that his great enemy had come to his door to seek death.

If he could resolve Feng Jiuyou, then his becoming an Immortal King would likely be a certainty.
