Chapter 1963: Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan and Flame True Spirit

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

On the vast and boundless Cosmic Sea.

The Abyss Clan Elder swung his arm, and several Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level Golden Giant Apes appeared beside him.

"Elder!"

The Golden Giant Apes awaited orders.

"Today, I have discovered a large Dao Stele Shard existing in a lower-ranked universe. You are tasked with leading the army into that universe to destroy it."

The Abyss Clan Elder ordered coldly.

"Understood!"

The Golden Giant Apes nodded, then proceeded to mobilize troops from the surrounding sea, gathering top warriors from various clans across the Cosmic Sea to prepare a mighty army capable of destroying the universe.

An aura of chilling hostility quietly emerged.

...

Ye Feng was unaware of the happenings in the Cosmic Sea.

By now, he had passed through a scorching and vast Star Domain with Xue Rongqing and saw a super-large star surrounded by ninety-nine Bathing Fire Phoenixes.

This was the ancestral land of the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan.

It was also Huo Lingjiao’s hometown.

"Sect Leader, we have arrived."

On the way here, Xue Rongqing conveniently took a super-large map from the Ancient Sky Tribe, which recorded the specific coordinates of the known worlds in the Flame Universe.

The world before them was called the Phoenix Ancient Star.

That was indeed the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan’s ancestral land.

"Sect Leader, it’s said that the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan has a countless history and currently hosts an Immortal Emperor above the ninety-fifth layer overseeing it, but apparently, there is just one above the ninety-layer. Approximately ten Immortal Emperors remain above the eightieth layer, each possessing considerable power."

Xue Rongqing introduced the clan.

Ye Feng remarked, "So, in comparison, Huo Lingjiao’s hometown isn’t that strong!"

Xue Rongqing shook her head, "That’s not entirely accurate!"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

Xue Rongqing chuckled charmingly, "Sect Leader, you may not know, the strongest of the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan is not the ninety-five layers Immortal Emperor, but the Flame True Spirit."

Ye Feng pointed at the ninety-nine Flame Phoenixes encircling the Phoenix Ancient Star, and asked, "So, are they the Flame True Spirit?"

"Indeed, it’s said that the ninety-nine Flame True Spirits can merge into one Bathing Fire Phoenix, also known as Flame True Spirit, achieving a cultivation level of a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm, with combat power reaching around the seven-star king level."

Xue Rongqing nodded.

Ye Feng realized, "Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level, seven-star king battle power, within the Flame Universe, they’re already among the most elite type of warriors."

"Exactly." Xue Rongqing added, "According to the information provided by the Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor, once merged, the Flame True Spirit is nearly undying and indestructible. If a war of attrition occurs, they can stand firm against a Divine King with Nine-star Pinnacle battle power of the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level."

"An Undying Body! Huo Lingjiao possesses such an ultimate body constitution, which indeed presents quite an unsolvable situation under normal circumstances."

Ye Feng nodded.

An Undying Body is formidable, and nearly impossible to be completely erased. However, he practices the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability "Book of Curses", which specializes in defeating undying bodies.

Immediately, the two moved toward the Phoenix Ancient Star.

"Who are you?"

Soon, someone noticed Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing’s presence and hurried over.

Soon, they were astonished.

"It’s the Saint Ancestor of the Ancient Sky Tribe, Xue Rongqing!"

"Is she the Moon Holy Body?"

"Why have she and her Dao partner Ye Feng come to our Phoenix Ancient Star?"

The Immortal Emperors quickly came out to greet them.

A sense of mystery filled their hearts.

A few days ago, Xue Rongqing had forcibly subdued Emperor Liang with malicious intentions, and on top of that, she castrated him a hundred times before killing him in front of the universe’s formidable warriors.

This scene left a deep impression.

Seeing Xue Rongqing, a chill ran through their lower regions, trembling.

"Greetings, we are here to visit."

Xue Rongqing smiled softly, exuding charming allure, causing numerous vigorous men to breathe heavily.

"Welcome Saint Ancestor Xue Rongqing to visit, it truly brings glory to the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan." The ninety-five-layers Phoenix Ancestor quickly welcomed.

She was an old woman.

Dressed in a blood-red long dress, with a head full of red hair, her face appeared old, but her skin was snow-white, giving a strange blend of a young girl and an old woman.

"Are you the Phoenix Ancestor?"

Xue Rongqing asked the elderly lady in the red dress.

"Indeed." Phoenix Ancestor nodded, "Saint Ancestor Xue Rongqing, Friend Ye Feng, please!"

"Please!"

Everyone welcomed them, leading Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing to the guest hall of the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan.

In the splendid hall.

Ye Feng, Xue Rongqing, Phoenix Ancestor, and others sat as hosts and guests, engaging in conversation.

During the conversation, Ye Feng displayed his profound understanding of cultivation, deeply astonishing the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan experts present, enlightening them, and causing them to regard Ye Feng as extraordinary.

"No wonder Friend Ye Feng can become the Dao partner of Saint Ancestor Xue Rongqing. Although your cultivation is low, your understanding of cultivation is so profound."

Phoenix Ancestor marveled.

Hearing her address them as Dao partners over and over, Xue Rongqing felt sweet within. Ye Feng beside her also chose not to explain, after all, he needed to conceal his identity.

In the Flame Universe, traveling under the identity of Xue Rongqing’s Dao partner proved convenient.

After an hour.

Through conversations with the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan experts, Ye Feng learned about the current layout of the Flame Universe and was aware that Outer Realm Evil Spirits occasionally invaded the universe.

Of course, the invaders were not strong.

Mostly, they were slain across various realms.

Except for the recent Golden Giant Ape, whose displayed strength was truly formidable, evoking fear and desperation, while speaking, they were even more grateful to Xue Rongqing.

To those present, she was regarded as the savior of the universe.

"Do you think even stronger Outer Realm Evil Spirits could invade our Flame Universe?"

A Phoenix Clan expert asked out of curiosity.

"Probably not?"

Others shook their heads but suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, realizing it was possible for stronger Outer Realm Evil Spirits to appear, showing concern.

"Rest assured, should there be an Outer Realm Evil Spirit you can’t handle, I’ll personally intervene."

Xue Rongqing confidently proclaimed.

Her confidence derived from the presence of Ye Feng beside her.

"Then we rely on Saint Ancestor Xue Rongqing." The Phoenix Clan Ancestor quickly expressed gratitude with clasped hands.

Soon.

The Phoenix Clan Ancestor spoke about the Misty Holy Sect.

"Oh, it’s an emerging power, established only a decade ago in a distant place; it’s normal for you to be unaware. Consider it as a secluded-level powerful force!"

Xue Rongqing explained on behalf.

This was as per Ye Feng’s directive, unwilling to expose the true origin of the Misty Holy Sect, nor did they want to announce the existence of the Twin Universe just yet.

"An emerging power!"

"No wonder we’re unaware."

The Immortal Emperors of the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan were enlightened.

At this moment, Ye Feng took out a jade pendant and placed it on the table made of flame stone.

"Do any of you recognize this item?"

Upon hearing, the crowd glanced over.

"Oh!"

"Isn’t this our clan’s emblem?"

In attendance, the Immortal Emperors displayed surprise.

"Wait, this is... Jiaojiao’s emblem!"

A woman with a head full of red hair, an explosive figure, wearing a long red dress, full of charm, exclaimed. Beside her, a man in a red robe was similarly shocked.

Ye Feng looked over.

With just one glance, he could tell that these two bore a slight resemblance to Huo Lingjiao, they must be her parents. Their cultivation levels were not low, one was at the eightieth-layered Immortal Emperor, the other at the eighty-first level.

"No wonder Huo Lingjiao is at the sixty-fifth layer of Immortal Emperor at such a young age, it’s inherited,"

Ye Feng thought to himself.

"Daoist Ye Feng, how do you have my daughter Jiaojiao’s personal token? What... what happened to her?" Huo Lingjiao’s mother clutched the jade pendant tightly, hurriedly asking.

"No need to worry," Ye Feng waved his hand, "She previously fell into the world where our Misty Holy Sect is located, I saved her, and now she is fine, her cultivation even broke through to above the eightieth level."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

"Jiaojiao is still alive?"

"She is the strongest genius in the history of our Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan, she broke through to the eightieth-layered Immortal Emperor in just a few years, it seems she is rising."

"In the future, she might achieve Dao!"

The people of the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan all celebrated.

Knowing that Ye Feng and Huo Lingjiao were friends, everyone’s attitude towards him improved, and they talked more freely without much reservation.

The atmosphere at the scene was relaxed.

Not long after.

Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing entered the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan’s largest treasury, obtaining many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures not found in the Twin Universe, much to Ye Feng’s delight.

"Haha, it’s a big gain!"

Ye Feng collected these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, planting them all on the Super Continent of his small universe, arranging for the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree to care for them, promoting growth and transformation.

Moreover, he also learned many Secret Techniques unique to the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan; it was a fruitful trip.

Even obtained three Ancient Scriptures.

"Screech!"

But, the good times didn’t last long. Just as everyone was about to hold a banquet for Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing, the ninety-nine Flame True Spirits surrounding the Phoenix Ancient Star suddenly let out sharp cries, shaking everyone’s souls.

"What’s happening?" Xue Rongqing frowned.

"Not good, why is there a riot at this time?" The face of the Phoenix Ancestor changed dramatically.

"What’s the matter?" Ye Feng asked.

"Daoist Ye Feng, you may not know, our Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan’s Flame True Spirits occasionally go berserk, but the intervals are as long as ten thousand years. This time, it’s less than a thousand years since the last frenzy, it’s strange."

The Phoenix Ancestor explained in a deep voice.

"Do you need help?" Ye Feng asked.

"Thank you for the offer, we can handle it," the Phoenix Ancestor shook his head, then took to the sky with several eighty-layered Immortal Emperors, forming spells in their hands.

Boom!

They all transformed into phoenixes with wingspans of ten thousand meters, spewing out scorching fire origin, trying to calm the ninety-nine Flame True Spirits.

But, contrary to their wishes.

The ninety-nine Flame True Spirits absorbed the fire origin, and their eyes grew even more frenzied, beginning to merge toward the center, in an instant becoming an enormous phoenix with a wingspan of a million meters.

"Screech!"

With just a roar, the soundwave imbued with flame law swept across the Phoenix Ancient Star, incinerating countless creatures to ash instantly.

"Poof!"

Even powerful beings like the Phoenix Ancestor were forced to take huge steps back, their eyes filled with shock.

"Not good, it’s completely berserk."

"What should we do now?"

The people of the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan’s hearts sank to the bottom, trying various methods to suppress the Flame True Spirit, but all failed, falling into utter despair.

"Don’t panic, let me try."

Ye Feng stepped forward, drawing attention.

He, an eighty-eight-layered Immortal Emperor, certainly had unique insights into cultivation, but how could he suppress a berserk Flame True Spirit?

That was a hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level power!

Perhaps, only if Xue Rongqing made a move, there would be hope.

Thinking this, the people of the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan all looked at Xue Rongqing, seeing her calm face, seemingly having absolute confidence in Ye Feng.

Seeing this, everyone could only watch.

In mid-air.

Ye Feng stood there, though the aura he emitted was of an eighty-eight-layered Immortal Emperor level, even when facing the Flame True Spirit with a wingspan of a million meters, he remained calm, unflustered.

"Screech!"

The Flame True Spirit looked at Ye Feng, suddenly opening its mouth to spew a blazing flame, capable of incinerating even a hundred-layered Immortal Emperor to ashes, making people’s hearts tremble.

"Suppress!"

But, as Ye Feng’s hands moved like a Taiji disc, a light wheel appeared in front of him, reversing the Flame True Spirit’s fire back.

Thud!

The Flame True Spirit was hit by its own flame, then stared coldly at Ye Feng, its eyes full of surprise.

"Vile creature, calm down for me!"

Ye Feng said indifferently.

Meanwhile, he activated the Eye of Insight.

[Name: Flame True Spirit]

[Grade: Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Level]

[Introduction: An Ancient Heroic Spirit formed by the fusion of the True Spirits of fallen phoenixes of the Bathing Fire Phoenix Clan, with complex thoughts, hence occasionally going berserk]

[Remark: King-level Seven-star strength]

Seeing this, Ye Feng had a plan in mind.

The reason why the Flame True Spirit went berserk was that it gathered too many True Spirits, making it impure, leading to unclear consciousness and easy madness.

The best way to handle it was fusion.

"Fuse for me!"

Ye Feng formed spells with his hands, using the Eye of Insight and the Eye of Decryption to find the Flame True Spirit’s loopholes, then breaking the restrictions on its body, stabilizing it in place.

"Screech!"

The Flame True Spirit roared, but found it couldn’t control its body, its eyes gradually showing fear.

"Ye Feng actually suppressed the Flame True Spirit!"

"It’s unbelievable."

Everyone was astonished.

Ye Feng ignored their expressions, his hands moving rapidly to form various spells, using his identity as an Ancient Spirit Commander to forcibly purify the Flame True Spirit’s mottled consciousness, gradually bringing it out of its berserk state, making it docile.

"It seems to be working,"

The Phoenix Ancestor watched without blinking, feeling the Flame True Spirit’s aura stabilizing, meaning it was no longer berserk.

Time passed bit by bit.

Half a day later.

Ye Feng had already purified the Flame True Spirit’s Heroic Spirit, perfectly merging all consciousness, forming a super-strong consciousness capable of fully controlling the fusion body.

"Thank you, Daoist!"

As Ye Feng released the restriction, the Flame True Spirit’s massive body gradually shrank, transforming into a two-meter-tall flame person, bowing to Ye Feng in thanks.

"No need for thanks," Ye Feng waved his hand.

"Daoist, you helped me merge the mottled Heroic Spirit body into one, greatly increasing my combat power, reaching the King-level Nine-star Pinnacle, to show my gratitude, I will pass this Cultivation Technique to you, I hope you won’t disdain it."

The Flame True Spirit communicated telepathically.

The next moment, a stream of information entered Ye Feng’s sea of consciousness, transforming into a scarlet scripture.

"Bathing Fire Rebirth!"

Looking at the name of this scripture, Ye Feng could feel its extraordinary nature, and with just a little reading, he knew this Cultivation Technique was no less than Emperor Liang’s Original Luo Ancient Scripture and, after improvement, could be used for Sect members to cultivate.

"Thank you very much then,"

Ye Feng accepted this great gift openly, planning to find a time to analyze and improve it.
