Chapter 1064: Chapter 1063: Divine Fire Grotto Heaven
Lu Zheng spent the night at Phoenix Mountain, and the Celestial Fox Wan Yin was quite endearing.
The white tail flirts with a coquettish charm, the Red Pill evokes hidden fragrances of desire.
After calming Liu Qingyan for a night, Lu Zheng followed Si Lingxi into a secret path from the back of Phoenix Mountain, descending several hundred yards, and arrived at a closed underground chamber.
The chamber was dozens of yards in radius, with surrounding walls that appeared crimson, and the ceiling adorned with cloud-pattern skies, where a Phoenix and a Phenomenon circled each other.
Beneath the sky lay the earth, with mountains, rivers, trees, and flowers; though the mural depicted no beasts, only the Phoenix leading a flock of birds in flight.
"This is..."
"This is the scene from the dreams I had in the Divine Fire Grotto Heaven when I was a child." Si Lingxi said.
Lu Zheng’s eyes glimmered, "The Upper Realm?"
"It should be." Si Lingxi nodded.
"So you mentioned that besides named immortals and demons, there are ordinary people in the Upper Realm." Lu Zheng said.
"You could guess so, otherwise wouldn’t the Upper Realm be too lifeless and boring?" Si Lingxi replied, "Not everyone is indifferent to the Dao."
"Indeed." Lu Zheng nodded, then asked Si Lingxi, "Have you recently had dreams of an Upper Realm Phoenix?"
"Not for a long time, probably a thousand years." Si Lingxi shook her head, "The last time was when my mother advised me to cultivate diligently and ascend early."
Lu Zheng was startled, "Your mother?"
"Can’t I have a mother?"
Si Lingxi rolled her eyes, "I didn’t emerge from a crack in the stone."
"No, I mean, is your mother also someone gifted in Dream Transmission Technique?" Lu Zheng exclaimed.
The Phoenix is certainly a race, but it varies in strength, with the powerful able to traverse numerous worlds, while the weak may not.
Lu Zheng had assumed Si Lingxi was just an ordinary Phoenix Bloodline sent to the Lower Realm, not expecting that her mother could also perform Dream Transmission Technique.
"Indeed, are you surprised, or is it unexpected?"
Si Lingxi laughed, "Don’t think only you have miraculous opportunities; I am no less. If you bully me after ascending to the Upper Realm, I’ll have my mother teach you a lesson."
Lu Zheng: (ノ°ο°)ノ
Sister, you can suppress me with a backhand right now. How dare I bully you?
With high cultivation and a strong background, and now an advance warning, isn’t this a form of manipulation?
Lu Zheng didn’t speak, but tightened his grip, decided to tease Si Lingxi once more.
Si Lingxi, who had felt urged after eavesdropping overnight, had phoenix eyes that brimmed with charm, her demeanor was fluid.
And thus...
The phoenix swirled with the melodious cry, composing a song of Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.
...
It was not until noon that Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi rose to dress.
While dressing, Lu Zheng glanced around, "That... Divine Fire Grotto Heaven... where is it?"
Si Lingxi’s eyes twinkled, she smiled gently, and with a wave, a space ripple emerged in the middle of the cave, shimmering and rippling.
"It’s here."
Lu Zheng raised his brow, "So well-hidden, I didn’t notice it at all."
Si Lingxi replied not a word, simply took Lu Zheng by the hand, her figure fleetingly moved, and they flashed into the space ripple.
Upon entry, Lu Zheng sensed the endless Phoenix Rune surrounding the space, flickering and glowing, drifting to and fro, seemingly both unreal and real.
Only then did Lu Zheng realize, "Oh, you set a restriction in the space channel."
Lu Zheng patted his forehead, realizing he had been oblivious, distracted by thoughts.
Si Lingxi apparently understood why Lu Zheng hadn’t considered it, she merely chuckled without speaking.
The space channel was very stable, even more than Yin-Yang Road leading from Tonglin County to the Netherworld; after staying for a brief moment, Lu Zheng found his vision flickering red.
Lu Zheng surveyed all around, above and below, the Four Directions and Baji were aflame, and boundaries were entirely unseen.
The flames were crimson, with some streaked with golden threads adding to their divine mystique.
Moreover, there was no sound; the whole world was silent, as if it was a soundless realm, with flames burning from nothing, seeming quite illogical.
More importantly, with a red vista, Lu Zheng instinctively released his Divine Thought, but as soon as it extended, it began to be eroded by the flames.
Finally... so hot!
Lu Zheng grimaced, how many degrees is this?
Given Lu Zheng’s current cultivation, not to mention ordinary flames, even temperatures of several tens of thousands of degrees could not pierce his Protective True Qi.
But now he felt the heat intensely, and even the intangible Divine Thought was worn down, indicating the flames in this grotto were not only extremely hot but also possessed supernatural qualities.
"How is it?" Si Lingxi asked.
"I’m managing." Lu Zheng nodded, showing he could endure, "You’re...?"
Lu Zheng observed that Si Lingxi was completely unprotected, seamlessly immersed in the world of flames, with numerous flames dancing cheerily around her, resembling blooming fire flowers, blazing spirits.
Truly a Fire Phoenix with millennial Dao Practice.
Si Lingxi held Lu Zheng’s hand, laughing, "Lu Lang also has Phoenix Origin within, though he cannot entirely dismiss the flames like I do, it suffices to explore the sea of flames and aid his cultivation."
Lu Zheng nodded and activated the Phoenix Origin Power, causing golden-red flames to flicker in his pupils, and a soaring phoenix shadow to emerge behind him.
Then the surrounding flames calmed in accordance with his command, orderly and tranquil.
The next instant, strands of mysterious Spiritual Power carrying the fiery aura trickled from his limbs and bones into Lu Zheng’s body.
Lu Zheng felt as though he was soaking in a world of hot springs, lazily sleepy.
"Comfortable..."
Si Lingxi smiled silently, then hovered quietly by Lu Zheng’s side.
Soon after, the hot spring world shifted to a sauna room, then again into a high-temperature steamer.
"Oh no?" Lu Zheng trembled, hurried to cast protective techniques, feeling a surge of energy within.
Si Lingxi watched him by the side, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"You’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you?"
Lu Zheng glared, instinctively swung a palm.
"Slap!"
Lu Zheng swallowed, Si Lingxi gazed with gentle charm, rarely moved with feeling.
"This is..."
"These flames also have a divine coercion effect; you must refine them promptly." Si Lingxi laughed, "Otherwise, flames cramming your body may cause indigestion."
"So that’s it!"
Lu Zheng nodded in understanding, realizing why he had suddenly felt so languid.
Thankfully he realized in time, avoiding embarrassment from Si Lingxi.
"Let’s begin cultivation!" Lu Zheng stated seriously, preparing for Calm Heart and seclusion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Si Lingxi leaned closer, murmuring, "Dual Cultivation is most effective now~"
"Let me assist you~~~"
"Hiss——"
