Chapter 237 Phoenix Nirvana

The demon realm is rich in spiritual energy and full of alchemists. Jiaoyu's injuries are serious but not fatal. Just as Qi Huai said, with him around, Yun Fuzhao has nothing to worry about.

Seeing that Jiaoyu's condition had stabilized, Yun Fuzhao returned to her residence, where Qi Huai had already instructed the maid to prepare hot water for her.

Yun Fuzhao took off her clothes and stepped into the bath. The comfortable water temperature relieved her fatigue, and Yun Fuzhao breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her right hand, and the scene of slaying the spirit beast flashed through her mind.

Among the spirit beasts she slew, one even reached the tenth rank, despite her cultivation level being only at the Integration stage...

She suddenly realized something was wrong. Yun Fuzhao probed her dantian and hissed. It had actually reached the early stage of the Returning to the Void realm.

Could it be that he broke through during a battle with a spirit beast?

Therefore, it is reasonable to kill a tenth-rank official.

Yun Fuzhao clenched his fist. He had broken through again. He could now practice the sixth form of the "Phantom Technique".

She quickly washed up, put on her robe, and sat down by the candlelight.

Phantom Technique, Sixth Form: Mist.

Strange, shouldn't the sixth form be related to the earth elemental root? What is the meaning of this mist?

She carefully flipped through the pages, and as she read the explanation, her eyes widened little by little.

This……

“Yun Fuzhao,” Qi Huai said, standing outside the door, “Jiaoyu has woken up.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Fuzhao immediately dispelled the Illusion Technique, opened the door, and asked, "How is he?"

Qi Huai's gaze fell on her face, which was flushed red from the heat, like a ripe peach.

so cute.

He glanced at it a few more times. "It's nothing serious. The dragon bloodline is strong; it will recover in a few days."

Yun Fuzhao breathed a sigh of relief. "In this beast tide, all races suffered heavy losses. Especially Eclipse, they lost almost three-quarters of their people."

"For Gokui, however, it was a good selection process. Those wolves were already disloyal to him. Even without the beast tide, Gokui would have eliminated them sooner or later."

"Indeed."

Yun Fuzhao thought of the wolf clan that had deliberately led her into the teleportation array.

If it really wasn't Que Yu who did it, then it's most likely Qiongqi.

This beast tide might also be caused by his reappearance in the world.

"Qi Huai, who was the ferocious beast that was suppressed in the demon realm back then?"

After hearing Yun Fuzhao recount what had happened, Qi Huai's expression turned serious. "It wasn't Qiongqi, it was Taotie."

"But at that time he clearly said that he was Qiongqi."

"Qiongqi was suppressed in the Demon Realm," Qi Huai said. "The Brahma Palace was built using its beast bones."

"How could that be..."

Yun Fuzhao couldn't understand it; he didn't need to use someone else's name.

Moreover, the four ferocious beasts have been dead for nearly a thousand years, so how could they reappear in the world now?

Could it be related to Jiaoyu's appearance?

Qi Huai: "If what's being suppressed here is Qiongqi, then where is the real Taotie?"

Yun Fuzhao felt a chill run down his spine. "Could it be that he's still alive?"

After these words were spoken, both of them fell silent.

"I will discuss this matter with the other races, but after this beast tide, the demon race has been severely weakened. If someone with ulterior motives wants to take advantage of this to occupy the demon realm, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist."

As they spoke, the two arrived at Jiaoyu's room.

He transformed into a young dragon, curled up on the bed, his crimson eyes dimmer and listless than usual.

Yun Fuzhao was heartbroken; this was the worst injury Jiaoyu had ever suffered since she started following her.

Seeing Yun Fuzhao arrive, Jiaoyu struggled to lift her head and rubbed it against Yun Fuzhao's palm.

"Thanks a lot."

Jiaoyu blinked, and the next second she transformed back into human form, her youthful face held in her hands.

"It's good that you're not hurt."

Qi Huai narrowed his eyes, feeling like this kid was doing it on purpose. He just happened to transform into human form when Yun Fuzhao touched his face.

Jiaoyu lowered her eyes, appearing docile and obedient, and said, "That Qiongqi is not right."

Yun Fuzhao withdrew his hand. "What do you mean?"

“During the fight with him, I could sense that he wasn’t using his full strength. Or rather, he wasn’t at his peak.”

Qi Huai: "Most likely, the animal bones haven't been retrieved yet."

Because the beast bones haven't been retrieved yet, even if she fights the semi-adult Jiaoyu, she won't have the upper hand.

After saying a few more words, Yun Fuzhao and Qi Huai left the room, telling him to rest well.

"The demon realm has suffered heavy losses, so our planned day trip to the demon realm will probably have to be postponed again."

Unexpectedly, Qi Huai shook his head, "No need. It's precisely because those demons are severely weakened that it's easier to discuss cooperation."

This makes sense.

Qi Huai said, "Tomorrow I will summon the demons who will be passing through on their day trip to Qingqiu."

Yun Fuzhao nodded.

Xuantian Sect.

Yu Nian'er invited her parents to watch her spirit beast undergo Nirvana. The Azure Divine Luan was not a phoenix, but with the help of the Ghost Clan, it advanced to the Heavenly Rank. How was it any different from a real phoenix?

Azure wings covered in crimson flames, and the Azure Phoenix let out earth-shaking cries.

The Xuan Tian Sect disciples watching widened their eyes.

"This looks a bit like a phoenix rising from the ashes."

"Perhaps the Azure Divine Phoenix itself is a phoenix and needs to go through this process to truly achieve rebirth."

"You know what, it's actually possible."

"To be honest, throughout the entire history of cultivation, I have never heard of anyone's spirit beast being able to achieve a leap in rank."

"As expected of Senior Sister Yu. If the Azure Divine Luan really does turn into a phoenix, then Yun Fuzhao's contract with the Dragon Clan won't have anything to brag about."

"Great, finally I don't have to watch her show off anymore."

The Yu couple both wore satisfied smiles.

Yu Nian'er smiled slightly, her eyes reflecting the crimson flames of the Azure Phoenix during its rebirth.

She has been waiting for this day for a long time.

Standing beside her, a man dressed in a black robe, completely covered from head to toe, smiled slightly as he watched the Azure Phoenix thrashing about in the raging flames.

An hour later, the Azure Divine Phoenix had completely transformed, its originally red and green feathers turning completely crimson.

The Azure Phoenix spread its wings and took flight, its feathers like flowing rosy clouds, stretching for several feet.

Its call summoned other flocks of birds, which followed behind the Azure Phoenix, obscuring the sky, their calls echoing through the heavens.

The cultivators from the Southern Continent looked up and, upon seeing this scene, were all utterly astonished.

"That's... a phoenix?!"

"A phoenix descending to earth? How is that possible?"

"I'm speechless. Dragons and phoenixes, are they even letting us ordinary people live?"

“Nian’er,” Yu Tianhe smiled with satisfaction, “you are my pride.”

Zhuang Yidan: "As expected of my daughter. The Shangguan family is so arrogant just because they're guarding a broken stone. If they knew our family had a phoenix contract, they'd be green with envy."

Yu Tianhe laughed heartily, "The Shangguan family is used to being arrogant. If they knew that there was a dragon clan contractor in the Southern Continent, they would be furious. What kind of bullshit bloodline is that? It's not as direct as a real dragon."

“Father,” Yu Nian’er reminded him, “Yun Fuzhao, like the Shangguan family, is our enemy.”
