Chapter 487: True Spirit Phoenix Bloodline

Watching the crowd beneath the great hall with their expressions of astonishment, Zhang Nuo sat steadily in the main seat, his face devoid of any expression! He was no longer on the same level as the cultivators below! There was no need to act like brothers anymore! Especially not with the few factions that had been dissatisfied with Yulong in the past!

"Congratulations to Senior Zhang on your successful advancement! This junior, Hai Wuqing, pays his respects!"

Hai Wuqing looked at Zhang Nuo, who had been his equal back in the day, and now appeared as someone revered by ten thousand; he truly felt a bit sour inside! But since things had reached this point, thinking about those things was futile! So, he had no choice but to be the first to offer his congratulations to Zhang Nuo.

"Brother Hai, why be so polite? You and I don't need to be like this!"

This "Brother Hai" gave Hai Wuqing plenty of face; being able to call a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator "brother" was something others couldn't even beg for!

With Hai Wuqing taking the lead, the leaders of the various factions followed one after another to congratulate Zhang Nuo! Some even immediately brought out gifts, which gave those who had come in a hurry and brought no gifts a massive headache! Some even gave away the Magic Treasures they carried on their persons as congratulatory gifts! Although it pained them, it was far better than offending a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator! In this way, the Giant Spirit Pavilion made a huge windfall, and Liu Qingshan had someone bring over an account book, recording every single item.

This continued until nightfall, and only then did the crowd slowly disperse! Until this moment, some hadn't even had the chance to speak a word to Zhang Nuo! Seeing Zhang Nuo's slightly helpless expression, they tactfully turned to leave.

In the great hall late at night, Zhang Nuo was drinking with Yang Huzi and the others, talking freely about the process of breaking through to the Spirit Severing Stage! For Zhang Nuo, this was a process of venting his grievances, while for Liu Qingshan and the others, it was a process of learning! Not everyone had the opportunity to hear about the experience of breaking through to the Spirit Severing Stage!

The group chatted until dawn before dispersing. After Zhang Nuo returned to his Cave Abode with Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao, he asked in detail about the things that had happened over the past two hundred years! Aside from a few matters that made him feel surprised, the rest could not be considered major events at all.

Holding his two beloved wives in his arms, he felt much more at ease! Compared to the dull and tasteless cultivation, this was simply a life like heaven.

Over the course of several months, Zhang Nuo spent his time consolidating his Spirit Severing Stage cultivation while guiding the two women in their cultivation! When his cultivation was finally stabilized at the Spirit Transformation Initial Stage, he let out a long breath! Only then could he be considered a true Spirit Severing Stage cultivator.

In the time that followed, Zhang Nuo took five years to help Liu Qingshan and the others clear out the hostile forces surrounding Yulong Immortal Mountain! In the end, Yulong's sphere of influence had expanded by more than double!

On this day, Zhang Nuo found Yang Huzi and spoke of a thought hidden deep in his heart!

"What? You want to return to the Tianyuan Continent!"

As soon as he heard this from Zhang Nuo, Yang Huzi nearly jumped off his chair! The current Yulong Immortal Mountain could be said to have everything it desired, lacking nothing; why did Zhang Nuo still want to return to Tianyuan?

"Third Brother! Don't misunderstand; my return to Tianyuan this time is mainly for one person! It is not a permanent return!"

Hearing the explanation, Yang Huzi finally calmed down.

"Who is it? That makes you unable to let go like this?"

Zhang Nuo's expression sank, and immediately, killing intent erupted in his eyes. His green robe moved without wind, and waves of powerful pressure emanated from him!

"Among those who killed my parents and slaughtered my entire village back then, there is still one person alive: Jin Buhuan! So, before I ascend, I must kill him! Otherwise, this knot in my heart will never be untied!"

Seeing the look of rage on Zhang Nuo's face, Yang Huzi fell silent! Hatred was something that, once tainted by it, no matter how high your cultivation was, you could not overcome it; if you weren't careful, it would bring flaws to your state of mind! Take Zhang Nuo for example: before, when he was speaking, everything was calm as usual, but the moment Jin Buhuan was mentioned, he immediately became uncontrollably furious!

It seemed that if this matter were not resolved, even if Zhang Nuo ascended to the Immortal World, his future achievements would be limited!

"Since that is the case, then go! But Fourth Brother, there is one thing you must remember! You are already a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator! You must absolutely not use your full strength, otherwise, if you stir up too much Heaven and Earth Origin Qi and summon the Shengxiantai, it will be troublesome!"

"I know!"

Regarding the matter of the 'Shengxiantai', Chunyangzi had spoken to Zhang Nuo about it more than once! Once the Shengxiantai broke through the boundaries and descended to the Human Realm, even if a cultivator did not want to go up, it was absolutely not allowed! Cultivators who came down from the Immortal World generally had cultivation levels exceeding the Spirit Severing Stage, and they were simply not something a cultivator who had just stepped into the Spirit Severing Stage could resist!

Even if one escaped through clever means, then next time, don't even think about summoning the Shengxiantai; even if you pushed the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi to its peak, what would appear would only be the Heavenly Tribulation, absolutely not the Shengxiantai! As for Huo Fengli, because she was a demon cultivator, there was no such rule in the Demon World!

This meant that human cultivators only had one chance to ride the Shengxiantai into the Immortal World; if they missed it, perhaps they would never have another chance!

"Third Brother! My return to Tianyuan this time will very likely lead to an encounter with the Master of the Great Underworld Mansion. Once I fight him, it will inevitably trigger too much Heaven and Earth Origin Qi. If the Shengxiantai appears, I will have to leave with it! So, whether I can return to the Immortal Illusion is hard to say! After I leave this time, the affairs of the Immortal Mountain will be left to you! It would be best to re-elect a Pavilion Master!"

At this point, there was a clear look of disappointment on Yang Huzi's face! He had finally waited for Zhang Nuo to enter the Spirit Severing Stage, and in the blink of an eye, there was a possibility of him ascending to the Immortal World!

"Fourth Brother! Rest assured! Your brother might be trapped at this realm for the rest of his life, but as long as I, Yang Huzi, have a breath left, the foundation you have built will absolutely not fall into the hands of others!"

Zhang Nuo nodded slightly; this was the answer he was waiting for from Yang Huzi! In another hundred years or so, perhaps Huo Lifeng's injuries would heal, and after recovering to her Nine-Tier strength, her ascension would also be inevitable! As for Chunyangzi and Baji Laomo, they would certainly succeed in their ascension in the near future as well!

"By the way, Third Brother, there are also Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao! Do not tell them about my trip to Tianyuan this time! I am a person who dislikes the sentimental scenes of parting! You must keep it a secret for me!"

Yang Huzi nodded in agreement as well! The two spoke of other things, and then Zhang Nuo stood up and walked toward Huo Lifeng's Cave Abode! Before returning to the Tianyuan Continent, he had to ask Huo Lifeng for something! This was directly related to his chances of success on this trip!

When he arrived at Huo Lifeng's Cave Abode, he saw the cave door tightly shut, with several Restrictions of no small power swirling in front of the door!

"Fellow Daoist Huo! Zhang Nuo wishes to meet with you; could you make it convenient?"

Before Zhang Nuo's voice had even faded, the light of the Restrictions at the entrance of the Cave Abode dissipated, and the stone door opened wide! A woman as white as snow walked out from within!

"Fellow Daoist Zhang has come! How could this concubine not see you?"

Looking at Zhang Nuo with a smile, Huo Lifeng took the initiative to come out and welcome him!

"Fairy, you are too polite!"

The two walked into the Cave Abode, and after sitting down and speaking of other things, Zhang Nuo finally brought up the purpose of his visit!

"Fellow Daoist Huo, Zhang has come this time to ask the Fairy for something? I wonder if the Fairy could part with it?"

Huo Lifeng's face remained expressionless, but in her heart, she was thinking rapidly: Yulong Immortal Mountain is so large, what precious treasures does it lack? Why would Zhang Nuo ask her for something?

"What is it that you require, Fellow Daoist! As long as this concubine has it, I will certainly bring it out!"

"Good! Since Fairy Huo is so straightforward, then Zhang will not say anything else; I want a bit of your True Spirit Phoenix Bloodline, I wonder if that is possible!"

Zhang Nuo said with a smile, but his gaze never left Huo Lifeng's pretty face. He saw the woman's constantly smiling expression suddenly turn cold, her beautiful eyes darted around a few times, and she bit her slightly dry lips!

"What? Is Zhang's condition making things difficult for the Fairy?"

Looking at Huo Lifeng's hesitant appearance, Zhang Nuo knew she didn't want to give it, but for the sake of the Red Glow Fire, he had to get this True Spirit Phoenix bloodline!

Huo Lifeng's thoughts raced; she had been living quite comfortably in Yulong Immortal Mountain all these years, and aside from helping Zhang Nuo resolve the Duanmu Family, she hadn't done a second thing! Given Zhang Nuo's cultivation, even if he used force to take it, she was absolutely certain she wouldn't be able to escape!

Looking at the look of determination on Zhang Nuo's face, Huo Lifeng gave a bitter smile and said:

"This True Spirit Phoenix Bloodline, this concubine only inherited a little! But these past years, I have also been grateful for your hospitality, Fellow Daoist! Since you want it, then I will give you a little!"

Zhang Nuo was overjoyed upon hearing this! The bloodline of a divine beast True Spirit, even if he only obtained a little, would bring a qualitative leap to the Red Glow Fire! Other True Spirit bloodlines were secondary, especially this Phoenix bloodline.

The Phoenix itself was known as the 'Undying Bird!' The reason was none other than that this divine beast True Spirit could be reborn in fire! And the Red Glow Fire happened to be a type of fire; if it could be fused with the True Spirit bloodline, its power would surely increase greatly!

Looking at Zhang Nuo's eager gaze, Huo Lifeng did not delay. She reached out and made a small cut on her slender jade finger, and then silently circulated her Mysterious Technique. A drop of blood as fresh as flame slowly rose from the wound!

This drop of blood was only the size of a sesame seed, but the power released from just this little bit of True Spirit blood opened Zhang Nuo's eyes!

Waves of heat instantly filled the entire Cave Abode! It was like a small sun, making one dare not look directly at it! Huo Lifeng flipped her hand, and a small white jade bottle appeared in her palm! She covered the blood that had appeared, quickly flipped her wrist, and swiftly sealed the mouth of the bottle!

"This concubine can only give you this much, Fellow Daoist!"

Revealing a look of pain, Huo Lifeng handed the small jade bottle to Zhang Nuo!

"This is already enough! Many thanks, Fairy!"

After taking the jade bottle, Zhang Nuo was filled with joy! After exchanging a few more polite words, he stood up to take his leave! Watching Zhang Nuo leave, Huo Lifeng sighed helplessly!
