"Is it really that scary? According to your logic, your strength should not be as good as Ruyan, right?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
"That's true. We are the only two people in Hongye Mountain who possess phoenix bodies. All my attacks are ineffective against Ruyan, but her attacks can completely defeat mine. Of course, this is limited to the restraint between the phoenix bodies. For ordinary people, Ruyan's current peak realm of the Void Refinement Stage is comparable to the early stage of the Fusion Stage. If she successfully overcomes the tribulation and reaches the Fusion Stage, then she will have the strength to fight against Taoist Tongtian." Patriarch Hongye explained.
"I think the reason why Ruyan can restrain you is because your cultivation has not reached its peak. If your flame is strong enough, even the most powerful Ice Phoenix physique can be burned to ashes! Even the Colorful Phoenix can't withstand it." Long Junhai himself does not have a Phoenix body. If he really has a Phoenix body, even if it is the lowest level White Phoenix physique, he can cultivate to the level of competing with the Colorful Phoenix. If he doesn't even have this little confidence, then what's the point of cultivation?
"Master Long, I have practiced the Phoenix Art to the highest level. My Fire Phoenix physique can already exert the power of the Nine Yang Fire Phoenix! But even so, I am still no match for Ruyan." Patriarch Hongye said with a wry smile.
"Or maybe your Fire Phoenix isn't hot enough. Let me show you something. Perhaps you'll gain some insights after seeing it!"
Long Junhai smiled and waved his hand. A red fire phoenix appeared in front of everyone. The air around it was instantly burned clean, and the space began to distort. The terrifying aura made people shudder.
"Master Hongye, which one is stronger, my Fire Phoenix or your Nine Yang Fire Phoenix?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
"This... what kind of martial art is this! It can actually condense such a powerful fire phoenix!" If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Patriarch Hongye would never have believed it was true. She even had a feeling that even if she touched this kind of flame, she would be burned to ashes in an instant!
"This isn't some profound technique. It's just a flame that I manipulated to take shape. Now look at this!"
Long Junhai waved his hand again, and six fire phoenixes flew out in succession. Together with the first fire phoenix, they were exactly the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple!
The seven fire phoenixes are more terrifying than each other, and together they give people a feeling of burning the sky and boiling the earth!
Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless, especially Grandmother Hongye. If she really had a flame with such power, even if Ruyan cultivated to the same level as her, she would be killed!
"Master Long, how did you do it?" asked Patriarch Hongye in a clumsy manner.
"This is the heavenly fire I collected when I was overcoming my tribulation. As long as you work hard and constantly improve your own flame level, you will have the strongest phoenix body! Let me tell you a little story. There was once a little sparrow who envied other birds for being more powerful than him. One day, he saw a phoenix passing through the sky. He decided that he wanted to become a phoenix and be admired by all birds! So he disdained slaves to improve his own strength. He flew farther than the swan and higher than the eagle. Step by step, he reached the pinnacle of bird life and became the emperor of birds! He is the Vermillion Bird, a small red bird. Even the phoenix had to kneel before him. He is one of the four sacred beasts."
As Long Junhai finished speaking, he heard the Red Leaf Patriarch scream in shock, "This is indeed true! Where did you hear this legend? Have you also been to the Phoenix Nest?"
Patriarch Hongye had stumbled upon the ruins of the Phoenix Nest left behind by the Phoenix God and had seen this legend on a mural, but she hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, believing it to be a figment of her imagination. But after Long Junhai's explanation, she suddenly realized it was real! Could she, like that little sparrow, grow into the Supreme Being of the God Realm?
Thinking of this, Master Hongye was overwhelmed with emotion, and her mind suddenly became clear. She felt that Long Junhai had opened a door for her, a door she had never seen before! It allowed her to reach another level of thinking!
"Master Long, I have benefited a lot from your words today. I sincerely thank you for your teachings!" said Patriarch Hongye excitedly.
Long Junhai smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. I only said a few words today because I was happy, and I also wanted you to take good care of my two friends."
"It's natural. Now that they both have obtained the phoenix body, we naturally need to take better care of them. The future prosperity of Hongye Mountain depends on them. You can rest assured." Master Hongye said with a smile.
Long Junhai nodded, and said to Ruyan beside him, "Okay, now it's your turn. Don't just stare at others eating delicious food and worry about it. I have plenty of things like Fengyuan Fruit. I'll give you as much as you want. Now prepare to survive the tribulation. Otherwise, after I'm gone, it will be very dangerous for you to survive alone."
"Ah! I... I don't mean to be envious. I am also very happy that Mr. Long cares about others. As long as Mr. Long has Ruyan in his heart, that's enough." Ruyan was not jealous at all. She was originally a woman of the world. If Long Junhai had not appeared, she might have been someone else's plaything all her life. Now that she can meet Long Junhai, she is already very content in her heart.
Long Junhai smiled and said, "Just release your aura. Eat a few dozen Fengyuan Fruits first to increase your confidence. The thunder will fall later and it will help you refine it."
"Master Long, it might not be appropriate to cross the tribulation in such a hurry. What if..." Patriarch Hongye was a little worried, because crossing the tribulation is not a trivial matter. If it is not done well, the soul will be torn apart. Even if Ruyan has a phoenix body, it is not 100% certain that the tribulation will be successful. Moreover, there are a total of nine thunder tribulations during the tribulation period. Success in the first time does not mean success every time. If you are not fully prepared, you may lose your life in any thunder tribulation!
However, Long Junhai waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "The thunder tribulation is not a big deal. The sooner she gets through it, the sooner she can rest assured. I'm here. If she really can't hold on, I'll help her through the tribulation. There's nothing special to prepare. Just use your body to withstand it. That's the best way."
"What! You don't need a magic weapon? If you use your body to block the thunder for the first time, you will probably be reduced to ashes in an instant!" Patriarch Hongye was very nervous. After all, Ruyan was her most proud disciple, and she didn't dare let anything happen to her!
"Master, I trust Mr. Long. Even if I really die, I will have no regrets!" Ruyan is the kind of person who will go through fire and water without hesitation as long as Long Junhai says so. She doesn't care what Long Junhai says. She is willing to give everything for him. Life is not important at all, because the other party is Long Junhai, a man for whom she is worth giving everything!
