Chapter 133: She is my mother

Buzz!

Supreme Unity Divine Sword instantly appeared!

It directly severed the black vines.

Although Shen Qingli did not enter with her true form, the Supreme Unity Divine Sword had already been refined by her into her personal divine artifact; a thought summons it, and it effortlessly severs those vines.

Almost at the same moment, a strand of platinum light also wrapped around Shen Qingli.

Buzz!

The Supreme Unity Divine Sword was eager to slash!

But Shen Qingli stopped it; she could sense an aura of the Ancestor Phoenix on it.

The next moment, she indeed arrived before a huge phoenix with splendid plumage, yet its whole body exuded a hazy aura.

She, so tall, was not even as big as one of the phoenix's claws!

"Ancestor Phoenix." Shen Qingli immediately bowed down.

"Supreme Ultimate Diagram." The Ancestor Phoenix instantly perceived the aura surrounding Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli looked up at It, yet still could not see clearly. Even though she had awakened the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, achieving a divine body and divine eyes, she still could not see clearly, so she could not determine the Ancestor Phoenix's condition.

She could only ask directly, "How can I help you?"

"I can't help." The Ancestor Phoenix knew clearly, "I will dissipate."

Shen Qingli's face changed drastically, "Cannot be stopped?"

"Originally just clinging to life, but your coming is good."

The Ancestor Phoenix's voice remained as hoarse and gentle as ever, yet with a hint of ethereality, and a deep fatigue and weakness.

A large platinum bead appeared before Shen Qingli's eyes as Its voice faded.

"I and the Ancestor Dragon, born of heaven and nurtured by heaven, have bred myriad birds and beasts; our inner elixirs must not be taken by them."

The Ancestor Phoenix spoke slowly, and Its illusory massive form also gradually dissipated in this process.

Shen Qingli could not help but redden her eyes, even though it was their first meeting!

But the Ancestor Phoenix was the first to let her feel a mother's warmth, in both lifetimes.

"Don't be sad, you came just in time." The Ancestor Phoenix was already quite satisfied.

"Who are they?" Shen Qingli wanted to avenge the Ancestor Phoenix!

But the Ancestor Phoenix did not tell her; it had her come not to burden her with hatred, but because it did not want the Phoenix Elixir to be taken.

Even in Its view, if the Phoenix Elixir were taken, it would be useless; the most likely outcome is that after leaving this place, the Phoenix Elixir would disintegrate.

Ancestor Phoenix, a primeval living being.

It should have dissipated with the primeval collapse, but instead it happened to remain together with this primeval land.

But upon awakening, It discovered It could not leave this place.

Therefore, over all those long years, It was effectively imprisoned in this ancestral land.

As a divine spirit, It could not commit suicide, and with Its pride, It could not do so either.

Now, the Ancestor Phoenix felt, "Not bad, finally able to leave."

Over hundreds of millions of years, It has been out of step with the world; the long loneliness and decline have almost made It forget It is still alive.

Later, the forefather of the Shen Clan found this place; countless tiny humans came and went in succession.

But no one could communicate with It, until Shen Qingli appeared……

"Child, I will send you out."

"This place, from now on you must not come; it's unsafe."

The Ancestor Phoenix knew well that once It was gone, this place would become even more dangerous; no one must come again.

"But rest assured, that Gold-Copper Door is an era barrier; nothing from this place can leave."

If It cannot get out, much less these flies-scrabbling dogs; they are merely insignificant remnants reigniting, not worth fearing.

"Then can we still enter this time? My brothers are preparing to come in."

"You may, but do not go too deep." After saying this, the Ancestor Phoenix completely dissipated.

Shen Qingli was utterly bewildered, yet her soul was sent back into her body.

"What's wrong?" Di Jin keenly sensed her emotions were off.

Shen Qingli's eyes twitched, and tears fell.

Di Jin's breath caught; his fingertip brushed away the tear on her cheek, "Don't cry."

Shen Qingli lifted her gaze, only then noticing the moisture in her eyes, "Ancestor Phoenix, has fallen."

As soon as she spoke, tears also poured down uncontrollably.

Di Jin held her in his arms, his hand lightly gripping the back of her head, "For her, it is also a release."

"It seems to feel the same way." Shen Qingli's voice muffled, "I quite like It."

"I know." Di Jin naturally could sense it.

Perhaps from childhood lacking maternal affection, unconsciously she had already taken the Ancestor Phoenix, whom she had never met but who had helped and warmed her, as a mother.

Shen Qingli paused a moment, calming from her grief, "Inside I saw some black vines with strong corrosive power; they could even penetrate my Supreme Ultimate Diagram barrier."

"Black vines?" Di Jin frowned slightly; they were just those lowly rabble.

"Yes, do you know them?" Shen Qingli asked; although the Ancestor Phoenix did not tell her, she would not just let it go!

Even if the Ancestor Phoenix willingly "died," this grudge she must avenge!

However, the dissipated Ancestor Phoenix could actually sense that a thread of Its divine soul seemed to be drawn somewhere; but soon It lost consciousness.

However, Shen Qingli noticed something: she discovered that the Phoenix Elixir she had just placed in her space seemed to have been wrapped by the Fusang Divine Tree!

Is this meant to give birth to an Ancestor Phoenix, just like birthing a Little Golden Phoenix!?

Shen Qingli wasn't sure, but she was looking forward!

But she can't get into the space now?

Just as she was stunned, even a bit at a loss——

The space gave her a line of feedback; it turned out to be because it was at a critical moment of its transformation.

"Not sad anymore?" Di Jin had just wiped away the tears on Shen Qingli's face, and her somewhat dazed eyes regained clarity.

Shen Qingli nodded slightly, only then realizing that Di Jin's hands were cupping her face, his body bent over, gazing at her up close.

"I'm fine." Shen Qingli felt a bit embarrassed, reaching out to grasp Di Jin's wrist, trying to pull his hand away.

But Di Jin didn't let go, saying, "Older sister's face is really small."

Shen Qingli: "......"

"Exquisite."

After Di Jin said that, he released his hands before Shen Qingli could exert force.

But then, when she was off guard, he once again placed a kiss on her forehead.

"?"

As soon as Shen Jing appeared, he saw this scene and didn't have time to cover the children's eyes.

Shen Qingmo and the others saw everything clearly; Shen Qinci, the lively one, was the first to shout!

"Who are you!"

"On what grounds do you kiss my sister!"

"I've never even kissed anyone!"

Shen Qinci felt sour inside!

He also wanted to kiss such a pretty sister!

But they're all grown up now, men and women should keep apart, it's embarrassing!

Who is this guy? What gives him the right!

But Di Jin said, "Because I'm the brothers' brother-in-law."

Shen Qinci: "?"

"What the heck, just come out of seclusion and my sister's been stolen!"

"Little sister, where did this shameless person come from?" Shen Qing Tong just wanted to know which family's reckless fool this is! Utterly bold! He even ran to the gate of their Shen clan's ancestral land to kiss their sister!!

Shen Qingli: "...... My father raised him."

"Cough." Shen Kuo really didn't want to admit it, but it's the fact; he just doesn't want to say it.

But that doesn't stop Di Jin from boasting himself, "Father took me in as a child bridegroom to raise for the sister."
