Chapter 476: The Phoenix Body
Just then, on the ground, a massive white phoenix appeared, three zhang long and five zhang wide! It seemed this was the true form of Huo Lifeng!
Zhang Nuo felt a wave of shock! After the Baijiaowang, this was the second demon beast he had seen that could fully transform into human form, and it was a phoenix body at that! But compared to the legendary divine beast phoenix, why was she white?
Legendary phoenixes were generally golden or deep red! This white phoenix was something he hadn't even heard of, let alone seen!
"You all come up! My flying speed is very fast, even without using divine abilities!"
Zhang Nuo and the others did not stand on ceremony; with a flash of their figures, they jumped onto the phoenix. The giant white phoenix spread its wings, let out a 'whoosh', and soared into the sky, immediately charging in the direction of the Xianhuan Continent!
Huo Lifeng's speed was truly fast, almost on par with Zhang Nuo's own flight light! It seemed that when demon beasts fought, revealing their true forms really could boost their strength by a large margin!
If Huo Lifeng had used her true form during their first encounter, Zhang Nuo would not have been able to break the mask on her head so easily!
"Fairy Huo must have inherited the bloodline of the divine beast phoenix, but why is her true form white?"
After flying for a while, Zhang Nuo still couldn't help but ask about the reason!
"Hehe! Actually, I only possess a tiny bit of phoenix bloodline, but it is precisely this bit of bloodline that allows me to possess the power of a divine beast! Because the bloodline is too sparse, my true form cannot be the same as a true divine beast phoenix!"
Nodding slightly, Zhang Nuo let out a long sigh in his heart; so that was it! However, from the waves of scorching heat radiating from Huo Lifeng, he also discovered that even if she only had a little phoenix bloodline, she likely cultivated extremely formidable fire-attribute divine abilities! It was just that he wasn't very familiar with her yet, and if he asked too much, it might instead cause her annoyance!
Inside Zhang Nuo's body, he possessed the mutated 'Red Glow Fire', but even though this fire had mutated, its power was very weak; apart from the characteristic of being able to burn blood, it basically had nothing else! If he could integrate some phoenix bloodline into this fire, the effect would surely be extremely astonishing!
Thinking this in his heart, Zhang Nuo made up his mind that once there was an opportunity, he must ask Huo Lifeng for some phoenix bloodline! It seemed he would have another significant gain this time without intending to!
A few days later, the group finally appeared on the Great Teleportation Array of Yulong Immortal Mountain! Just as they stepped off the array, Liu Qingshan came to greet them! Seeing the few people who walked off the array with Zhang Nuo, he was stunned for a moment! Clearly, there was only one person when they left, so how did he bring back a few more upon returning? It was obvious these people were not cultivators from the Giant Spirit Pavilion.
Zhang Nuo did not offer much explanation and brought Huo Lifeng and her party to Yulong Hall! Along the way, Huo Lifeng's beautiful eyes flickered, constantly looking at the architecture inside Yulong Immortal Mountain! She was secretly shocked in her heart! No wonder Zhang Nuo's reputation was so resounding on the Xianhuan Continent!
He managed an immortal mountain in such an orderly fashion! In reality, how could Huo Lifeng know that Liu Qingshan had done all of this, and Zhang Nuo hadn't lifted a finger!
Arriving in the main hall, it happened that Yang Huzi was also there. After they sat down as host and guest, Zhang Nuo recounted the events of this trip. Yang Huzi looked at Huo Lifeng opposite him, a look of astonishment appearing on his face! This young girl was actually a demon beast above the Ninth Rank! My god! What kind of existence was that!
Liu Qingshan's mind turned quite quickly; after hearing the ins and outs of the matter, he instantly guessed Zhang Nuo's thoughts! He bowed to Huo Lifeng without changing his expression and said:
"It is truly a great fortune that Senior Huo has joined my Giant Spirit Pavilion! It makes this pavilion shine with splendor! In the future, many matters will still rely on Senior!"
How could Huo Lifeng not understand the flattery Liu Qingshan was heaping on her? No matter how high her cultivation was, that was a matter of the past; now this was the Giant Spirit Pavilion! It was Zhang Nuo's world! To put it nicely, she was just a Guest Elder! To put it bluntly, she was a hired thug raised by Zhang Nuo!
Why would someone give you a good Cave Abode to cultivate in, if not to have you act at a critical moment of danger! However, Liu Qingshan's actions did give her plenty of face! Huo Lifeng smiled happily and said:
"Elder Liu is too kind! Since I have come to the Giant Spirit Pavilion, I am naturally a part of it! If there is anything in the future, just give the order!"
Seeing that Huo Lifeng was very sensible, Zhang Nuo nodded slightly and immediately asked Liu Qingshan to go help her choose a good Cave Abode!
Just at this moment, Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao both entered the hall! They had heard from disciples that Zhang Nuo had brought back another beautiful female cultivator, and her cultivation seemed quite high! The vinegar jars in these two women's hearts were immediately overturned!
They had only been married for a few days, and he had brought back another woman! As soon as they entered the door, the two looked at Huo Lifeng aggressively! Sure enough, as the reporting disciple had said, this female cultivator was quite attractive, and her cultivation was far above theirs!
Seeing his two beloved wives walk in, Zhang Nuo immediately understood and hurriedly stepped forward to explain:
"Fairy Huo, these two are my dual cultivation partners, Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao!"
Huo Lifeng's gaze shifted and landed on the two! These two female cultivators could be described as peerless beauties, untainted by the mortal world! Su Haizhen was dressed in snow-white, carrying an enchanting aura amidst her beauty, while Ye Yuemiao was in purple, so beautiful that even women would drool upon seeing her!
However, the eyes of these two looking at Huo Lifeng were filled with jealousy! With a turn of her thoughts, Huo Lifeng understood what was going on! After a few polite words, she let Liu Qingshan take her to see the Cave Abode prepared for her!
As soon as Yang Huzi saw Liu Qingshan take Huo Lifeng away, he gave Zhang Nuo a strange look and also found an excuse to leave the hall. At this time, only the three of them remained in the hall! Su Haizhen rushed to Zhang Nuo's side in a flash, and two slender jade fingers instantly pinched his ear!
"I really couldn't tell! You're so capable! You just went out once and brought back another beautiful flower!"
At this time, Ye Yuemiao also walked to Zhang Nuo's side! Her lively eyes widened, and she said chidingly:
"Who is that Huo Lifeng? Where did you bring her back from? Did you two have a relationship before?"
The two of them acting like thunder and fire really tortured Zhang Nuo! Ye Yuemiao was fine, just using her mouth, but Su Haizhen used both hands, almost pinching the Great Cultivator Zhang into a pig's head!
"Can you two listen to my explanation? There is a reason for this!"
Zhang Nuo had a hundred mouths but couldn't explain; only when Su Haizhen stopped her hands did he say aggrievedly.
"Speak! What's going on?"
The two beauties kept their faces sullen, their gazes fixed firmly on Zhang Nuo's face; if what he said couldn't convince them, the next wave of torture would start immediately!
"It's like this! Huo Lifeng is not a human at all! She is a demon beast..."
Zhang Nuo told the whole story from beginning to end. After Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao looked at each other, they both felt very surprised! A Ninth Rank demon beast blasted down to the Eighth Rank by the Heavenly Tribulation! This was the first time they had heard of such a thing! However, looking at Zhang Nuo, he didn't seem to be lying!
The jealousy in the two women's hearts finally subsided a little! However, Su Haizhen gently placed her jade hand on Zhang Nuo's shoulder and said with an unkind look:
"I say, husband! After this demon beast transforms, she is the same as a human, you wouldn't... ah!"
"How could that be possible? She is a demon! I am a human! This... this is simply unreliable!"
Zhang Nuo felt like crying; it seemed that what he had brought back were not wives, but two vinegar jars!
A few days later, Huo Lifeng finally found a suitable Cave Abode on Yulong Immortal Mountain, and Xue Meng and the others who came with her were also arranged by Liu Qingshan into the Yulong Workshop!
Ever since entering the Cave Abode, Huo Lifeng had not come out; she had to seize the time to cultivate. However, what made her very depressed was that due to the previous Heavenly Tribulation, she had suffered heavy injuries in many places on her body, and it would be impossible to return to the Ninth Rank level without several hundred years! She had to prepare to stay on Yulong Immortal Mountain for a long time!
After Zhang Nuo returned from the outside world, he began to go into seclusion again! Sitting in the Stone Chamber, he flipped his hand and brought out the 'Heaven Breaking Hammer'! The more he looked at this golden hammer, the more he liked it! As long as he refined it slightly, it would be for his use! Now the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set had been fully collected! A divine ability of immense power was beckoning to him!
"Boy Zhang! Wait a moment before you get happy!"
Chunyangzi's figure flashed, emerging from Zhang Nuo's body, and stood before him as a phantom!
"What is it, Senior?"
Looking at Chunyangzi with some confusion, the matter he had promised him was already in preparation, but this Pure Yang Body was too hard to find! Could it be that he couldn't wait?
"What exactly do you mean by bringing Huo Lifeng to the Immortal Mountain? Although that demon beast has a bit of phoenix bloodline, having her on the Immortal Mountain will always be somewhat inappropriate, right?"
Chunyangzi's face sank slightly; he always felt that Zhang Nuo doing this was not quite right! Bringing a powerful cultivator to the Immortal Mountain, if the other party harbored evil intentions, wouldn't that be like inviting a wolf into the house?
"Senior, rest assured! I have already thought about this! The injuries on Huo Lifeng are not light, and it will take at least several hundred years! Furthermore, what if we find the Pure Yang Body that Senior needs! After borrowing the body to return the soul, don't you also have to start cultivating from scratch? In the meantime, if I ascend to the Immortal World, who will protect you? Huo Lifeng is the best candidate!"
These words of Zhang Nuo actually moved Chunyangzi! After pondering slightly, Chunyangzi felt it made a lot of sense; in case Zhang Nuo ascended to the Immortal World before he grew up, then this Yulong Immortal Mountain would still need a great pillar!
