Chapter 229: Burning Heaven Divine Phoenix
"A Zhuo!" The originally calm heart rippled again.
She roared in shock: "Who told you to come? Go back, this seat orders you to roll back!"
But the man who had always been obedient to her turned a deaf ear to her order.
He couldn't see the tongues of fire rolling onto his own clean white robes, only seeing his beloved woman, so joyful tears welled up in his eyes.
"This time you won't be able to cast me aside again! Even if the road ahead is Wujian Diyu, A Zhuo will accompany you."
"A Zhuo, you... fool..."
"Boom—" Red light soared into the sky, instantly swallowing the figures of the two.
The rolling heat waves soon burned their bodies into ashes.
Just at this moment, a sigh rippled in the dream.
The two wisps of souls that were almost burned to destruction in the fire turned into fine light spots, breaking free from the shackles of the sea of fire, rushing out of Yun Gong, soaring ten thousand miles into the high sky, and falling gently into someone's palm.
As the sea of clouds surged, a man in white with black hair stood in the void, his handsome figure and otherworldly appearance, with ethereal immortal energy surrounding him, as if an immortal had descended into the world.
"Master!"
In the dream, Lin Qingyue, who witnessed all this, shouted out, and her eyes turned red instantly.
The man in the dream raised his eyes and looked over, calling "Yueyue" as gently as before.
"Master, are you really my Master, Immortal Zhuohua? But how could you appear in Dongfang Qi's dream? What is going on with all this?"
Lin Qingyue's eye sockets felt sour, tears rolled out, and her tone was filled with endless grievance: "Since you didn't die, why haven't you come to see me? Do you know... do you know how much I missed you?"
Immortal Zhuohua was full of heartache, but also hid endless helplessness.
"Yueyue, actually Master has never left you. Back then, when the Red Lotus Karmic Fire burned my body, I realized I was the reincarnation of the Burning Heaven Divine Phoenix. Although I had the ability to be reborn through nirvana, I was still too severely injured to support myself, and it took me several years to gather my soul and return to my senses. If not for this, how could Master have let you fall into the demonic path?"
He raised his hand, wanting to touch Lin Qingyue's cheek gently, but his fingertips passed straight through her face—he was now just a wisp of ethereal soul.
Lin Qingyue was greatly surprised, eagerly wanting to grab his hand, but only grasped a handful of nothingness.
"Master, how did you become a wisp of soul? And so weak? Didn't you just say you were some Divine Phoenix reincarnation? Since you have the ability to be reborn through nirvana, how could you become like this?"
"Master, I can't catch you at all... Master, what exactly happened to you?"
Immortal Zhuohua raised his hand and stroked her head virtually, smiling gently: "Don't cry, Yueyue. Master has always been here... Dongfang Qi's dream cannot be maintained for too long, so Master will tell you everything as much as possible."
The Burning Heaven Divine Phoenix belongs to the God Race.
Back then, before the God Race flew away from the human world, they were worried that those humans who could cultivate immortality and peep at the Dao would rely on their own strength to do evil.
But their mission was completed, and they could not continue to interfere too much. So they left behind a Burning Heaven Divine Phoenix, ordering it to supervise the order and good and evil of the human world.
If the sins of the human world were too heavy, the Burning Heaven Divine Phoenix would descend with a disaster of world destruction, letting everything return to the era of the beginning of creation.
But the Burning Heaven Phoenix carried divine fire, and wherever it went, nothing would remain. In order to better integrate into the human world, it could only lower its divine status and reincarnate as a human.
Immortal Zhuohua was the reincarnation of the Burning Heaven Divine Phoenix.
If the human world was peaceful and operated in an orderly manner, his memories and divine power from his past life would be sealed and would never be revealed.
Only when the sins of the human world reached a certain threshold would the Divine Phoenix awaken, bringing the fire of world destruction to burn everything in the human world.
During the years he was Zhuohua, he always thought he was just an immortal cultivator from the human world.
Even because his birth was lowly, he could only be a small instructor in Yun Gong, and couldn't even take in a direct disciple.
Only Lin Qingyue didn't mind his humble birth and insisted on taking him as her master, thus having a master-disciple relationship.
Later, he peeped at the dirty secrets of the Immortal Cultivation World.
He discovered that those hypocrites, in order to satisfy their private desires, first brought disasters to the human world, and then appeared as "saviors," transforming into gods, letting the world worship them.
What gods? What faith?
Would a true god covet human gold and silver? And how could they kill people to seize faith?
That group of immortal-looking immortal cultivators hadn't even cultivated an immortal body yet, but had first cultivated an appetite greedier than a devil, doing despicable things that harmed the world under the guise of saving the world.
Unfortunately, at that time, Immortal Zhuohua's divine power was sealed, and he could not shake the Immortal Cultivation World at all with his mortal body. Instead, he was tied to the execution platform, crowned with the name of a traitor, and burned to death alive.
His human body died under the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and the Burning Heaven Divine Phoenix was reborn through nirvana.
At that time, the sins of the world were approaching the threshold, and it would only take a little more time for the Burning Heaven Divine Phoenix to descend with the disaster of world destruction.
But the years he spent day and night with his disciple also became an indelible warmth in his memory, leaving him with a glimmer of hope for this sinful human world.
His divine soul was also damaged, and it took him several years to gather his soul.
But before he could fully recover, he discovered that his beloved disciple had become a Demon Monarch and fallen into the demonic path.
Zhuohua couldn't bear to see his disciple go completely crazy and become a murderous tyrant, but he hadn't fully recovered yet. In his anxiety, he resolutely split his divine soul into two.
He molded the separated half of his divine soul into the later A Zhuo.
He gave A Zhuo the same appearance and temperament, and even bestowed upon this clone the love for Lin Qingyue that he had never declared.
In the days that followed, A Zhuo accompanied Lin Qingyue, acting as both the scabbard that sealed her sword light and a good medicine that restrained her from continuing to go crazy, and even more so, her final salvation!
Until the end, when they both died in the sea of fire, Immortal Zhuohua took action in time to collect their souls.
No matter the reason for Demon Monarch Qingyue's fall into the demonic path, she was ultimately full of sin and had no chance of reincarnation.
So Immortal Zhuohua used his divine power privately, forcibly sending her soul three thousand years later to borrow a corpse and resurrect.
And A Zhuo also entered reincarnation, reincarnating as the later Dongfang Qi.
"Yueyue, Master cannot follow you into reincarnation, I can only let A Zhuo continue to accompany you."
He was like before, considering his disciple everywhere, even splitting half of his soul. Yet he didn't care about himself at all.
He was originally the Burning Heaven Divine Phoenix, coming with the mission of world destruction.
But Lin Qingyue became a Demon Monarch, stopping killing with killing, and with the tragedy of perishing together, washed the Immortal Cultivation World in blood, and by chance, blocked the disaster of world destruction for the human world. ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
