Chapter 463: Phoenix True Fire
In a moment of inspiration, Lin Huang released her phoenix fire and a large flame bird appeared behind her.
Soon after, she stepped into the flaming fire and stood in the middle.
At the same time, golden sparks began to appear on the outermost edges of the flaming phoenix.
"Phoenix true fire?" Che Xuelo exclaimed and her complexion turned bad.
Ordinary phoenix fire was hotter and purer than most other flames.
However, the most special phoenix fire was the phoenix true fire.
It was special not only because it was golden but because it contained a trace of divine meaning.
In the Ten Thousand Beasts world, there were more than one thousand people in the direct line.
Among the one thousand, about ten were extremely talented and their blood had almost returned to their ancestor.
However, none of them had awakened the phoenix true fire.
Although Lin Huang’s flame was not a fully awakened phoenix true fire, even sparks were extremely precious.
When Che Xuelo saw them, a crazy look appeared in her eyes and her twelve fire pillars blazed a little hotter.
’I want her blood essence. I must get all her blood essence.’ She thought and the speed of the twelve fire pillars increased.
Seeing this, the spectators were shocked.
"Fellow Daoist Che’s control of the twelve fire pillars is really good." Someone sighed.
"I thought she would lose a little control after using the element shift but she didn’t. She is worthy of being a cultivator from a top-grade world."
"After all, she is a descendant of the legendary phoenix. No one can rival the Phoenix family when it comes to flame control."
"Her control is good but why does she look anxious?"
"I also noticed that. Her qi consumption has suddenly increased."
"Have you noticed the golden sparks mixed with fellow Daoist Lin’s fire?"
"Golden sparks..., let me take a look."
A moment later, the spectator gasped and confusion appeared in his eyes.
"I saw the golden sparks but what are they?"
"I don’t know. Anyway, fellow Daoist Che began acting strangely when the sparks appeared."
"Could it be that the golden sparks are very powerful?"
At the same time, several cultivators from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain looked at each other in horror.
"Is her talent so good?" A female cultivator asked, her hands clenched in unwillingness.
"Don’t you know?"
Although phoenix true fire had not appeared in the Ten Thousand Beasts world for a long time, everyone knew about it.
It was said that when a phoenix cultivated to the god realm, its phoenix fire would turn golden.
However, this was only an entry in ancient records and no one had actually seen it.
"She is only at the first level of the reincarnation realm. How can she have the phoenix true fire? I don’t believe it."
"I also don’t believe it. It’s more likely that her cultivation technique can produce golden flames."
"Don’t you know that the Phoenix clan cultivates bloodline techniques? I have never heard of a technique that could refine golden flames."
"Fellow Daoist Lin is not from the Ten Thousand Beasts world. It’s unknown what kind of technique she is practising."
"I believe we are about to find out." One of the people said and pointed to the martial stage.
At this time, Che Xuelo’s twelve fire pillars finally touched Lin Huang’s flaming bird.
A moment later, an explosion resounded in the surroundings and a loud scream echoed in every part of the venue.
"What happened?" Some spectators who were previously watching other fights were attracted by the loud explosion.
"The fight between fellow Daoist Che from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and fellow Daoist Lin has just ended." Someone explained.
"Who won?"
"Let’s wait and see."
Amid extreme anticipation, the dust in the martial stage began to clear.
Five breaths later, the dust settled and the spectators saw the match outcome.
"This..." someone started but stopped midsentence.
He inhaled a cold breath and tightly clenched his hands to suppress their uncontrollable tremble.
"The martial stage has been destroyed." The person finally said.
"Fellow Daoist Che is in a bad state." Another said.
"Bad state?" Someone questioned and subconsciously shuddered.
Although she looked extremely drained, Lin Huang was still standing in her original position.
On the other hand, Che Xuelo looked like a large piece of charcoal.
She was burned badly and barely had a breath left.
Seeing this, Lin Huang couldn’t help but panic a little.
The competition rules were clear and killing was not allowed.
This time, she acted on instinct and produced a force she had never awakened before.
Unexpectedly, her fire was so powerful and attacked Che Xuelo before Lin Huang could control the spread.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, how is your condition?" Someone asked and Lin Huang looked at a group of people who had rushed to her martial stage.
"Help her first." Lin Huang said.
However, she didn’t need to say it.
As soon as the group arrived, a few rushed to help Che Xuelo.
When preparing for the event, Yu Nianzhen anticipated that accidents would happen.
After thinking about it, he juiced a large batch of Tree of Life leaves.
Before the event started, he entrusted the extracted liquid to Chen Qing and Hong Zhu.
With Chen Qing and Hong Zhu as the core, a team of alchemists and physicians was formed.
This team’s responsibility was to take action when accidents happened.
In this way, the Cangxing Mountain would avoid forging too many life and death grudges during the event.
"She will be fine." A physician shouted after treating Che Xuelo.
Hearing this, everyone relaxed.
"I will wait for her to wake up." Lin Huang said and sat cross-legged.
This time, her victory was not cheap.
At a glance, all her qi and soul power were exhausted.
Most importantly, her phoenix blood was sluggish.
Since she began cultivating, her phoenix blood had never been anything but vigorous.
Seeing the current situation, Lin Huang couldn’t help but wonder if her previous action was too impulsive.
During the life-or-death moment, she urged the power of her bloodline and finally awakened a powerful fire.
Because of this, she survived Che Xuelo’s attack without suffering any permanent damage.
’No, I did the right thing.’ She thought.
Although her phoenix blood was sluggish, Lin Huang could tell the effect wasn’t permanent.
As long as she worked hard, she could eliminate the sluggishness and continue moving forward.
Most importantly...
As she thought, Lin Huang looked at Che Xuelo who was slowly waking up.
In exchange for temporary sluggishness, she was about to get a piece of the divine parasol tree.
For that piece, everything was worth it and Lin Huang no longer regretted her actions.
"The stage is damaged and we need to repair it." Someone shouted and Lin Huang turned to see Bei Chengling.
’While the martial stage is being repaired, I will take the time to recover.’ Lin Huang thought with a small smile on her lips.
.....
On the first small martial stage, Jiang Yue was also disturbed by the explosion on Lin Huang’s stage.
Seeing the situation, his eyes narrowed and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
A moment later, he took out his communication token and began reading several reports.
Soon after, his complexion turned bad and a frown dulled his face.
"This is bad." He muttered.
Over the years, Wei Ge’s information network collected a lot of news.
From the news, Jiang Yue learned that cultivators could change nationality.
In fact, it was common practice for higher-level worlds to poach talented cultivators from lower-level worlds.
Although there was a price to be paid for doing this, some worlds felt the trouble was worth it if the poached cultivator was sufficiently talented.
Before the competition, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue made plans to protect the Cangxing Mountain from rampant poaching.
However, some things were out of their control.
In one of the reports sent to his communication token, Jiang Yue learned that Lin Huang had awakened phoenix true fire.
Originally, Lin Huang was a high-risk candidate for poaching.
Now that she had awakened the phoenix true fire, the phoenix clan in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain would never leave her alone.
Although this could be considered an opportunity for Lin Huang, it was also a bad thing.
After all, her awakening of the phoenix true fire showed that her talent was more extraordinary than all the other people from the phoenix clan.
In that case, there were three possibilities.
The first possibility was that she would be assimilated into the clan and allowed to freely develop.
However, Jiang Yue felt that this possibility was too low.
After all, Lin Huang was a foreign cultivator.
Even if she joined the Phoenix clan, she would never be allowed to stand at the top.
If allowing her to develop was not an option, there were only two possibilities and none was good for Lin Huang.
"We have to act swiftly." Jiang Yue muttered and looked at the main stage.
