"No wonder." Divine Phoenix immediately understood everything. With Hongyue behind Yun Lintian, he was able to know that she shared a soul with Nantian Fengyu.
"You are still the same after all this time," Hongyue said calmly. "I warn you, don't try to play an idea on him."
Divine Phoenix curled her lips. "If so, what can you do? You are a mere residual soul right now. Do you think you can stop me?"
"It's more than enough. Do you want to try it?" Hongyue said with a faint smile that could chill one's bones.
The two stared at each other for a long time before Divine Phoenix said with a chuckle. "Our Princess Hongyue is still domineering as usual."
She paused briefly and said. "You can rest assured. I'm not interested in him or his power. I just want to see how far he can go… Well, with you behind him, perhaps he can put up a fight."
Hongyue changed the topic. "The Fire Devil comes from the Great Seven Devils?"
"Indeed." Divine Phoenix replied. "This is a piece of its memory."
As her voice fell, a small fireball emerged from her palm.
Hongyue waved her hand, and the fireball flew toward her. A moment later, she said. "Heh. These dogs surely don't give up, huh?"
Divine Phoenix laughed gently. "If I was being suppressed for ten thousand years like them, I wouldn't give up easily, too. What's more? A chance of revenge has appeared."
She pointed at Yun Lintian and said further. "As long as they get him and his power, what's there to be afraid of those old bastards in the Divine Realm?"
On the side, Yun Lintian frowned slightly. From the conversation between the two, it seemed the so-called Great Seven Devils were determined to get him.
"You have been staying outside for a few thousand years. Did you find others?" Hongyue asked.
Divine Phoenix shook her head. "Unfortunately, no. This little fire devil is the first one so far. I haven't heard or seen any trace of them through the years."
"There's another one, but already gone," Hongyue said with a rare frown. "There should be more of them."
"Another one?" Divine Phoenix was surprised.
"A devil fetus," Hongyue replied. "Your vitality has almost recovered now. Have you ever thought of returning to the Divine Realm?"
"Naturally. How could I let them go after what they did to my clansmen?" Divine Phoenix replied. She glanced at Yun Lintian and continued. "Just like you. I'll wait until he can take care of himself."
"I could feel the Azure Dragon's aura a few weeks ago. What happens?" Divine Phoenix asked.
"He's gone," Hongyue said calmly. "His blood origin should be taken away by someone already."
Divine Phoenix frowned and asked. "Is she willing?"
Hongyue nodded. "Surprisingly, yes. I guess he left a message behind, preventing her from interfering."
"That old man…." Divine Phoenix shook her head slightly. "He surely loves testing people, despite knowing that Yun Lintian needs time."
Hongyue said nothing in this regard. The Primordial Azure Dragon God was the head of all divine beasts, and his prestige among them was the highest. No one would ever question his decision that was including Divine Phoenix.
Since he didn't want anyone to interfere, Divine Phoenix and Hongyue would also respect his decision.
Divine Phoenix looked at Yun Lintian and said with a chuckle. "Work hard, little guy."
She curled her lips seductively and said further. "Of course. My offer is still on the table in case you want a shortcut."
Yun Lintian was speechless. Why did he feel like he was about to be taken care of by a rich woman?
Hongyue rolled her eyes at her and said. "Give him a branch of your tree. His attainment in the fire element has almost broken through. He will need it in the near future."
"Sure. But it's not free." Divine Phoenix said with a smile. "Don't worry. I will give a discount."
"Scram!" Hongyue uttered annoyingly.
Divine Phoenix didn't tease her anymore. She waved her hand, and a fiery tree branch appeared in front of her. "Take it."
"I'll take care of it." Hongyue took over the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree's branch and vanished into the Gate of Beyond Heaven. She was going to plant it by herself.
"It's been a long time since I visited the Land of Beyond Heaven. Can I go in?" Divine Phoenix looked at Yun Lintian and asked.
Before Yun Lintian could say anything, he heard Hongyue's voice. "Let her come in. She posts no threat to you."
Yun Lintian hesitated briefly and said. "Go."
Divine Phoenix smiled and walked into the gate.
"Junior brother… Who is she? I can feel that she's very powerful." Seeing the two vanishing, Nantian Fengyu asked curiously.
Yun Lintian replied. "You can think of her as my mentor, though all she does is scold me."
"I see." Nantian Fengyu looked at the Gate of Beyond Heaven curiously, but she didn't ask anything.
Seeing this, Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "Let's go. I will take you to a place."
Afterward, he took Nantian Fengyu into the Land of Beyond Heaven.
***
Inside a dark chamber, the barely alive Weilan Tian was pinned onto a weird-looking pillar carved with complicated patterns. His chest was pinned with a strange wooden needle, and his blood slowly flew out of it, traveling along the patterns on the pillar into a circular, runic pattern on the ground.
Sitting naked in the middle of the circle, Weilan Jian closed his eyes and slowly absorbed the blood that flew along the circular pattern on the ground.
A domineering power ran through his vein and blood vessels as his profound strength gradually increased.
A moment later, he let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his face. "Blood origin is really different. As long as I fully refine it, who else can be my opponent?"
Saying this, he glanced at Weilan Tian and said with a smile. "It all thanks to you. Don't worry. I will remember your contribution well."
"Master, I have something to report." Suddenly, a male voice resounded from the outside, making Weilan Jian frown.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
"The seals on the spatial tunnel are loosening sharply all of a sudden." The male voice resounded, causing Weilan Jian's pupils to shrink slightly.
