After the clumsy bird emitted a multicolored radiance, shortly thereafter, the figures of those Phoenix Tail Wings were completely obscured, replaced entirely by the Phoenix Fire.

The fierce Phoenix Fire began to burn intensely, its aura of life so palpable that Ye Tianfan could feel it without using his Divine Sense. Simultaneously, some hidden injuries on Ye Tianfan's body began to slowly heal, and the same life force gradually repaired the hidden injuries on others as well.

"A phoenix truly lives up to its name! Just the Phoenix Fire alone, from such a distance, can heal the hidden injuries on my body. It's truly powerful."

"Indeed! The old injury on my waist is also starting to slowly heal."

"I really want to raise one!"

Once this was said, everyone suddenly fell into an eerie silence. They weren't fools; they all realized that a moment later, the ownership of the clumsy bird had to be determined. Surely these phoenixes hadn't come all this way just to help the clumsy bird successfully evolve and then leave?

Clearly, this was unrealistic, so after mentioning this topic, everyone astutely avoided discussing it further, as they didn't yet know what Ye Tianfan would decide. For now, it was best not to provoke him.

While everyone remained silent, suddenly, a loud phoenix cry emanated from the blazing Phoenix Fire, and immediately after, the flames rapidly contracted inward, then exploded outward in a shower of sparks.

The once plump phoenix instantly appeared in everyone's sight. It hadn't changed much, except that its feathers had become even more brilliant and colorful, no longer just crimson but rather a mix of yellow and red.

Moreover, its eyes were no longer dim-witted but now possessed a hint of intelligence, appearing cutely naive.

When those phoenixes saw the clumsy bird recover, they let out a cry, then flew to a higher place nearby, standing there to await the clumsy bird's confrontation with the celestial punishment.

The phoenixes perched atop a small hill, immediately transforming it into a utopia, even causing some rare and precious herbs that Ye Tianfan recognized to grow.

No wonder there's a saying that when a phoenix lands, it turns the place into treasure.

It means that wherever a phoenix lands becomes a sacred place; it seems Taihuo Peak has gained an extra medicinal field.

After the clumsy bird let out a cry, its eyes turned serious, though it still looked adorably cute. Then it spread its wings, facing the celestial punishment in the sky with a determined attitude, as if to say, "Bring it on, I'm ready."

The bolt of heavenly punishment in the sky instantly transitioned from a nearly motionless state to a lightning-fast speed, directly striking the clumsy bird, poised with open wings.

It directly shattered the clumsy bird into fragments.

Ye Tianfan watched this scene with a face covered in black lines. He had just seen the clumsy bird's full posture and thought it could withstand the hit, but unexpectedly, it was directly blasted into pieces.

However, Ye Tianfan wasn't too worried. Given that so many phoenixes had purified the clumsy bird's bloodline and healed its injuries before, if it truly ended just like that, there would be no reason for the phoenixes to have come.

The outcome was just as Ye Tianfan expected; the clumsy bird was reborn from the fire, and after it was reborn, its eyes bore an expression that seemed to say, "Come on, hit me again, I can take it."

The clumsy bird even found the previous experience unsatisfying, and it directly spread its wings, flying towards the calamity eye in the sky.

Upon witnessing this, Ye Tianfan didn't know what to say; it was too audacious. He never expected the clumsy bird to be so brazen.

Ye Tianfan glanced at the phoenixes, noticing deep shock in their eyes. He couldn't shake the feeling they were reflecting on whether rescuing such an obviously impulsive phoenix was the right choice.

The end result for the clumsy bird remained the same—blasted into fragments, then reborn from the fire.

Afterwards, the tribulation clouds slowly changed color from pitch black to milky white, and from the calamity eye, a multicolored light shot out, directly illuminating the clumsy bird.

According to what Tian Chu Zhenren had said before, this light was the Light of Evolution. Once the clumsy bird absorbed it, it would truly transform into a phoenix.

As the clumsy bird absorbed the Light of Evolution, those phoenixes began to fly down, circling around the clumsy bird and scattering tiny points of light, which were of unknown nature.

Before long, once the clumsy bird absorbed the Light of Evolution, it then absorbed those tiny points of light, suddenly bursting into blazing flames that engulfed it.

Ye Tianfan and the others, seeing that it wasn't over yet, dared not approach, while the phoenixes began encircling the clumsy bird, as if guarding it.

After waiting for a good while, the flames gradually weakened, and Ye Tianfan prepared to see what the fully evolved clumsy bird had turned into.

To everyone's surprise, the clumsy bird turned into an egg, an egg adorned with a phoenix totem.

"This... how did it turn into an egg?" Ye Tianfan was full of confusion.

"I know, I understand why the clumsy bird turned into an egg!" Tian Chu Zhenren, upon witnessing this, pondered for a moment and suddenly realized something. Then he explained to everyone, "I believe it's because, although the clumsy bird evolved into a phoenix, a phoenix's power begins at the Taichu level. Even if the clumsy bird has evolved into a phoenix, its strength couldn't have instantly risen to the Taichu level, so it transformed into an egg for rebirth. This way, once it hatches, it should have the strength of the Taichu level."

Ye Tianfan found this explanation quite reasonable, but now there was a problem: the ownership of this egg.

Although Ye Tianfan leaned towards leaving it at Taihuo Peak, who knew what conditions were required for hatching a Phoenix Egg? If it required something like Phoenix Flame to incubate, it wouldn't be present. So Ye Tianfan stepped forward to ask those phoenixes.

"Um... excuse me, this clum—ah, no, this Phoenix Egg, are you going to take it away?" Ye Tianfan inquired.

Despite their nobility, phoenixes, after all, were still beasts, not humans. Therefore, the phoenixes couldn't speak, but they nodded at Ye Tianfan and then breathed Phoenix Flame onto the Phoenix Egg.

The Phoenix Egg swiftly absorbed the Phoenix Flame.

Ye Tianfan understood that this was the phoenixes telling him that hatching a Phoenix Egg required Phoenix Flame, and even if they left it with him, he wouldn't be able to hatch it.

Ye Tianfan nodded, and thus had no choice but to let the group of phoenixes take the Phoenix Egg, hoping that once hatched, the clumsy bird would still remember him.
