Chapter 90 90 Undercover "You will be the phoenix, and I will be the immortal...

One hour ago, Demiplane: The burial place of the gods.

Ning Changkong leaned his elbows on the windowsill, staring intently at the giant machine called "Tianluo" outside the window.

"Even I probably can't design a machine like that in such a short time... It might be difficult to design even a general framework within a year or two." Chu Qingge stood beside him with his arms folded, and said with emotion, "That machine is very magnificent, really."

Ning Changkong retracted his gaze and left the window: "It's really sad that we were defeated by the indigenous people in terms of technology."

The two of them are fast travelers who have traveled through countless worlds, conducted countless studies, and cracked countless worldviews.

"That can't be helped. Feng Qingwu may have received help from some gods." Chu Qingge shrugged. "Gods are always related to the ultimate concept, the origin of the world, and the will of the world. It's normal that they can't compare."

Ning Changkong thought thoughtfully: "Add to that the artificial idiot over there, Feng Qingwu is really... a master of casting all kinds of rune crafts."

Chu Qingge jokingly said, "It's a family tradition."

"No, he and I have no blood relationship." Ning Changkong retorted unhappily, turning his head to Phoenix who was concentrating on waiting:

"Let me confirm again: Is your job limited to construction, commissioning, and maintenance? Does it not include adjusting this machine?"

Under Baril's orders, he was ordered to connect to the machine, adjust its tentacles, and inject the modified evil spirit into it... Was this an authority that Phoenix originally possessed?

"Not included." Phoenix shook his head. "Connection and modification require a key."

He hesitantly placed his hand on his chest, then seemed to realize that the thing that should have been there had disappeared, so he put his hand down again and looked straight at Ning Changkong.

Ning Changkong sighed heavily.

September 21st, the first year of the spiritual recovery, demiplane Jiuli.

Li Gui tutted his mouth in dissatisfaction, with a hint of annoyance in his tone: "It's still the same words over and over again."

Without theoretical consensus and resonance in life experience, I really don't know how to convince each other. Ning Changkong thought with gritted teeth.

The fact that Li Bo's train of thought was in sync with the other person's and that he wholeheartedly believed Chi You to be the supreme master was also a result of their fate - no wonder he was able to be teleported here from the burial place of the gods in an instant!

"Let me give you another example," Ning Changkong angrily threw the Modern Talisman Science in his hand back on the table with a "slap" sound, and spread out his hands: "Humans have ten fingers, so they developed a counting system based on ten."

"After thousands of years, even if everyone's hands were cut off overnight, the counting system would not suddenly change to a five-base system."

Metaphors and verbal attacks cannot resolve any differences. Ning Changkong felt as if he was punching cotton with a heavy fist. His voice became lower and his thoughts drifted back to the past.

Chi You's words once rang clearly in his ears:

"A future where a cultivator is no different from an ordinary person...really, it's just like your father's."

And, Phoenix's responsibilities:

"Build it, enable it, maintain it."

The heart reassembled from the flesh and blood of the phoenix beats in the chest cavity, the blood hits the eardrum, and the breathing gradually speeds up.

He asked, "Did Feng Qingwu say something similar when he was lobbying?"

Are the gods willing to pay the price of falling just to take weapons away from playful children?

Or do the gods have other intentions?

"You are quite sensitive." Li Gui snorted from his nose:

"He designed energy, forged machines, persuaded the gods, and caused the decline of spiritual energy... He went through so much trouble, retreating to advance, just for this day—"

"——As you said, after the spiritual energy is revived, a world where all people can live in equality regardless of their level of cultivation."

One hour ago, in the demiplane where the gods were buried.

The hanging heart was still dead. Ning Changkong couldn't help but sigh again.

This is what Chu Qingge said, the worse news.

He took a few steps forward, clasped Phoenix's cheeks with both hands, and while carefully examining him with his spiritual power, he complained to Chu Qingge: "You might as well let me go to the top directly."

If they had been more decisive at the time and directly destroyed the phoenix body and used the body of the phoenix to carry out subsequent activities, they would not be so passive now.

Chu Qingge coughed awkwardly twice, but quickly explained in a serious tone: "Under the circumstances at the time, we were not sure whether the body of the Phoenix could be successfully restarted, what its position would be after the restart, and whether it could be used normally... After comprehensive consideration, it was decided that it would be in the best interest of continuing the mission to 'resurrect' you."

Ning Changkong said angrily, "And you used the key to connect to the machine to repair my body? Huh?"

The "key" connecting to the [Tian Luan] machine, or the other half of the Phoenix's heart, is now embedded in his body.

Phoenix, a man-made demon that was forced to house the "Key".

From what we can see now, it is obvious that Baril has done something so that the Phoenix no longer follows the trajectory set by Feng Qingwu and instead works for him.

Even the information on how to open the Kiriyama Illusion and the location of the "key" in the Kiriyama Illusion may have been provided by Phoenix.

Baril didn't ask the Phoenix to work this week, which was lucky for them, but this good luck couldn't last forever. If Phoenix went to work now, he would be exposed in front of Baril because he couldn't successfully connect to [Destiny].

"It's not a bad thing." Chu Qingge held up her chin, with a hint of amusement in her tone, "At least we have the initiative now."

They could easily take Phoenix away and directly deprive Baril of the authority to control the [Destiny] machine, preventing the evil spirit from continuing to spread through this machine.

But the price was to let Baril know that the Phoenix's "Nirvana" and the Undead Bird's rebellion happened at the same time. He already knew that the Undead Bird was Feng Qingwu's creation, so he would not doubt Ning Changkong's rebellion.

Of course, there is another way.

"It's just as I thought. The appearance created by spiritual power is quite similar to the energy structure of the monster's transformation." Ning Changkong exhaled slowly, "It has many similarities with your blue bird image."

He looked up at Chu Qingge: "How are you doing with the transformation technique I mentioned earlier, which was prepared based on my body data?"

"It works." Chu Qingge said concisely.

Modifying Phoenix's face was easier than he thought.

Likewise, it was easier than expected for him to assume Phoenix's appearance.

Ning Changkong sighed, his tone filled with helplessness: "Well, since you can't dig out this dirty heart of mine, then we can only make do with it for now."

He cleared his throat and stood up:

"Phoenix, your master will now give you a new mission."

The main boss Chi You in the East has just been defeated. This victory has had a great shocking effect on all kinds of demons and monsters. The power of the Alien Bureau alone should be enough to maintain the current peace. All Phoenix can do is to plan for long-term development.

However, they still have no idea of ​​the true intentions of Baril and his Order of the Night. Now is the best time to start a deeper investigation.

Perhaps going undercover is a good strategy.

After all, the key and authority to control the machine are in his hands. In addition, he can provide intelligence to the righteous, so even if he replaces Phoenix and releases evil spirits under Baril's instructions, it should not cause too many problems.

"You be the phoenix for me, and I will be the immortal bird."

The first year of the Reiki Recovery, afternoon of September 21st, Jinwuyuan Tea House.

"This kid has been so happy that he has gone crazy." Gu Minghui pulled out a stool and sat down, saying jokingly, "He has been so happy all the way here."

"What is it to you!" Wen Qingsheng's strength had recovered and he was no longer panting like he was after the game, but he still held the sword tightly with a silly smile on his face.

Yan Xiaoling tugged at his sword tassel maliciously, but he did not react.

Maybe Zuo Langning was so happy because she finally praised him seriously? She blinked, turned her head, and smiled at the little fox who still had an awkward expression, "You try it too."

"You performed really well." Bai Xian put snacks and tea on the table and said sincerely.

Wen Qingsheng has made rapid progress in the past six months, surpassing many of the disciples who have been practicing in Yuxu Sword Pavilion since childhood, and his performance is quite impressive. Although he has not been able to take the lead due to his short training time, he has far exceeded his own expectations.

Bai Xian happily sat down at the table and watched the children chatting and eating.

After the sect competition was over, he invited them to go back to Jinwu Garden to rest for a while. After all, Jinwu Garden had a teleportation array that went directly to Penglai, and he would take them back to Longyuan Academy later.

The four little ones could not resist his cordial invitation, and remembering the secret that Feng Huang was Lin Jinsong, they followed him reluctantly.

This place really should be more popular. Bai Xian squinted his eyes comfortably in the rising steam and blew on his hot tea.

Then, he stood up abruptly.

Wen Qingsheng, who was holding the sword, reacted the fastest. He drew the sword out of its sheath reflexively and looked in the direction Bai Xian was looking—

A figure, carrying a coat, stepped over the threshold and walked into the tea room.

Only those with the blood of the Phoenix can advance all the way here without triggering the protective formation of Jinwu Garden.

The young phoenix smiled warmly:

"I'm back."
