Chapter 2887: Chapter 933: Divine Fire Ridge, Qing Luan’s Nirvana! (Part 2)
With a light whoosh, a pair of magnificent and splendid wings suddenly unfurled!
These were neither Divine Skills nor Magical Treasures.
But genuine wings—Phoenix Wings!
The pair of Phoenix Wings spread to their utmost, burning with clusters of pure gold flame, fiercely scorching yet giving an unprecedented elegant beauty.
Azure Phoenix True Monarch did not deeply experience this power. Her whole body glowed with divine light, and the wings disappeared. A luxurious robe of pure gold appeared on her jade-like body, then she gazed towards the Fire Lake above, into the Great Void.
She vaguely saw her Spirit Pet Xiao Qing, engaging in combat with a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
This tremendous disturbance was caused by her Nirvana, attracting the Nascent Soul Cultivator to investigate, resulting in a fierce battle with her Spirit Pet.
Azure Phoenix True Monarch raised her hand and made a grasping motion, and a cyan-golden halberd appeared in her hand. She fiercely slashed forward.
"Puchi!"
The void of heaven and earth was instantly torn apart, and an endless Gang Wind roared out.
Meanwhile, the molten flames within the Fire Lake surged into the Great Void.
Soon after, Azure Phoenix True Monarch, like a Valkyrie, charged with the endless molten lake waters towards the Nascent Soul Cultivator fighting her Spirit Pet.
A layer of intense flame burned from her palm, spreading to the cyan-golden halberd, then tore through and burned the Body-Protecting Magic Barrier of the Nascent Soul Cultivator, and the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Daoist, it’s a misunderstanding! I am the Heavenly Fire City Lord, I came to investigate upon hearing the disturbance here, I meant no harm!"
Seeing the killing intent of the approaching Azure Phoenix True Monarch, the Nascent Soul Cultivator’s face changed dramatically.
He did not expect a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator to be here and shouted immediately.
However, Azure Phoenix True Monarch turned a deaf ear to his words, wielding the halberd to form layered attacks with the Green Simurgh.
This Heavenly Fire City Lord was utterly no match for Azure Phoenix True Monarch and the Green Simurgh.
Seeing Azure Phoenix True Monarch attacking him ruthlessly, within a few rounds, he was forced to abandon his body and run away with the Nascent Soul.
However, Azure Phoenix True Monarch was well prepared for this.
Through endless waves of fire and molten lava, she sealed off the void.
Along with her Spirit Pet Qing’er, she used the Heavenly Phoenix Power to jointly seal the void.
The Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline possessed a strong fire attribute affinity and was in harmony with the concept of space.
Now in the Divine Fire Ridge, Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s cultivation and Divine Skills were even stronger than usual.
The Heavenly Fire City Lord, under the hand of her and her Spirit Pet Xiao Qing, failed to escape with the Nascent Soul and was seriously injured, then bound with a Secret Treasure.
"Spare my life, senior! If you let me go, I am willing to offer all my possessions."
The Nascent Soul Cultivator pleaded bitterly, not expecting to encounter such a nemesis when he went out.
"Master!"
Seeing the Heavenly Fire City Lord captured, Xiao Qing immediately shouted with joy towards Azure Phoenix True Monarch.
All these years, her master had been in the Nirvana state of life and death, filling her heart with worry.
Now, her master had successfully undergone Nirvana, and she was naturally overjoyed.
"Xiao Qing, you’ve been through much."
Azure Phoenix True Monarch looked at her Spirit Pet, and a smile appeared on her well-defined face.
Back then, after parting with Lu Changsheng, not long after, cultivators and forces came to trouble her, trying to seize the opportunities she gained in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm.
In the end, even a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Giant made a move against her.
Although she was an outstanding figure in the Nascent Soul Early Stage relying on her Spirit Pet Xiao Qing and five hundred Azure Phoenix Daoist Soldiers, the first echelon of combat power.
Facing a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Giant was utterly out of her league.
To deal with the subsequent crisis, she even had to prematurely birth her daughter Mu Que.
But the enemy was too powerful.
Even after giving birth to Mu Que and restoring her state to its peak through Secret Techniques, she still couldn’t escape the pursuit.
Fortunately, she had the Phoenix Inheritance.
Years ago, she also gained the [Phoenix True Feather] from Lu Changsheng, condensing the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline.
At the last moment, she chose to burn out all her life force, severely injured the opponent, and then let her Spirit Pet Xiao Qing escape with her transformed Phoenix Egg to carry out Nirvana.
All these years, without Xiao Qing’s desperate protection and constant efforts to find her Fire Origin Seeds, she would not have succeeded in Nirvana.
Even having completed Nirvana, she wouldn’t have been able to advance her cultivation and bloodline to the extent that she now has!
"Master, it wasn’t hard work."
The Green Simurgh spoke with a crisp voice, sensing an earth-shaking change in her master’s Qi Mechanism from before.
"Master, shall we now go to fetch Xiao Que’er?"
Although Xiaoqing only took care of Mu Que for a few months.
But she had spent hundreds of years with the Azure Phoenix True Monarch, developing an incredibly deep bond, akin to sisters, and was very fond of Mu Que, who possessed her master’s bloodline.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and her master had no choice but to leave her in a small mountain village. Now that the master has succeeded in Nirvana, she naturally wants to bring her back.
"Xiao Que’er..."
Azure Phoenix True Monarch paused, looking toward the direction of the Southern Wilderness Middle Domain.
But in an instant, she frowned.
In the earlier battle, not only did all five hundred Azure Phoenix Daoist Soldiers perish, but the accumulated Five Virtues Qi was also completely consumed, even overdrawn.
Without the Five Virtues Qi, her divination abilities had severely declined, and she was unable to sense her daughter’s current situation.
"Xiao Que’er’s Heavenly Secrets have been concealed by someone!"
Azure Phoenix True Monarch instantly realized that this was not just her declining divination skills.
Someone was interfering, concealing her daughter’s Heavenly Mechanism Fate.
"Who is it?" Azure Phoenix True Monarch pondered secretly, immediately wondering if her daughter encountered some prominent figure or significant opportunity during her growth.
After all, according to her knowledge of the fundamental heavenly heart, the initial small mountain village held an extraordinary opportunity for her daughter, which greatly aided her growth.
Azure Phoenix True Monarch thought for a moment, a cold expression emerging in her eyes as she said to Spirit Pet Xiaoqing, "Our troubles are not yet resolved, and there are many dangers. We will go find Que’er once we have completely dealt with them."
Although she had gone through the Phoenix Nirvana, absorbing the opportunity gained from the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, and had advanced her cultivation realm and Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the losses were significant.
The five hundred Azure Phoenix Daoist Soldiers, which were her foundation for survival, were almost all dead.
The resources and Five Virtues Qi accumulated over hundreds of years were completely consumed.
Without the Azure Phoenix Daoist Soldiers, her direct combat power had dropped by a level.
Without the Five Virtues Qi, her methods for disaster aversion and divination had decreased by a level.
In comparison to before, although her cultivation realm had improved.
Her direct combat power had not improved significantly.
Even her ability to protect herself and avoid calamity had considerably decreased.
If she encountered Luofu Zi again, she would still not be a match and would be at risk of her life.
"Trouble..."
The Green Simurgh heard this, and its feathers trembled, demon qi surging and filling the air.
The five hundred Azure Phoenix Daoist Soldiers were also its followers and playmates.
Yet, they were all slain by Luofu Zi and others.
Even it and the Azure Phoenix True Monarch barely escaped death at their hands.
Such a deep-seated grievance must be avenged!
"Xiaoqing, you stay here and watch. Below this fire lake, there is a top-level Spirit Fire. I’m going to take a look."
Azure Phoenix True Monarch gazed at the fire lake and spoke to Spirit Pet Xiaoqing.
She followed the subtle heavenly heart’s guidance, letting Xiaoqing bring her to the Divine Fire Ridge for Nirvana, which was not a random choice of location.
Over these years of Nirvana, she had already realized that below the fire lake, there existed a Divine Fire, a top-level Heavenly Spiritual Fire.
If she could subdue and refine this Divine Fire, it would also be beneficial for her.
However, entering the fire lake and continuously diving toward the ground vein bottom, the Azure Phoenix True Monarch felt an overwhelming scorching heat, even though she was immune to various fire techniques.
"Fourth Rank Superior Grade Spirit Fire, this Heavenly Spiritual Fire has already reached the Fourth Rank Superior Grade level. Right now, without any preparation, attempting to subdue it would be difficult."
Azure Phoenix True Monarch knew that the Heavenly Spiritual Fire deep within the earth veins had reached the Fourth Rank Superior Grade level.
Even though she possessed the Phoenix Inheritance and Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline, trying to subdue and refine it was not a simple matter and necessitated considerable preparation.
Reflecting on the great commotion her prior Nirvana had caused, attracting the Heavenly Fire City Lord, a Nascent Soul Cultivator among others who might be arriving, Azure Phoenix True Monarch decided not to continue her investigation.
At this level of Heavenly Spiritual Fire, unless one like her possessed the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline or held a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation, there was no possibility of subduing and refining it.
She was not concerned that others would capture this Heavenly Spiritual Fire.
Situations like those at Divine Fire Ridge were likely already known to cultivators there possessing a top-level Heavenly Spiritual Fire, but no one had the capability to subdue and take it away.
After flying out of the fire lake, the Nascent Soul Spirit Body of the Heavenly Fire City Lord appeared in Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s hand, inquiring about the situation here.
Though during her Nirvana she knew of the general situation here through Spirit Pet Xiaoqing, her understanding was limited.
Seeing Azure Phoenix True Monarch engaging, the Heavenly Fire City Lord immediately explained, pondering whether Azure Phoenix True Monarch was not a local cultivator here.
However, upon reflection, it made sense. Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators were scant in the Southern Wilderness Eastern Domain, and he had never heard of such a person.
She likely came from the Central Domain.
Upon gaining a clear understanding of the current situation at Divine Fire Ridge, Azure Phoenix True Monarch continued to inquire, "Do you have any news from the Southern Wilderness Middle Domain and Northern Territory?"
