Chapter 118 A Quiet Show of Affection
When Song Chi descended, bathed in golden light, she was speechless. Those ascendants were truly a bunch of scoundrels. They made her look like a charlatan.
However, this is part of the extremely difficult dungeon because her protectors, the dragon and phoenix, haven't yet awakened their true bloodlines. Originally, she thought that as long as Su Yu and Ji Minghuang achieved the dragon and phoenix combination, she wouldn't need it, but that didn't work. So, this innate dragon pool and phoenix fire realm was added. The book does mention dragon pools and phoenix fire barriers, but they are clearly small, only large enough for Su Yu and Ji Minghuang to each have a small barrier to consolidate their true bloodline opportunities. Therefore, she can't refuse this task. Secondly, Zuiyun Sanren hinted that if she can complete this task well, the ancestors of the dragon and phoenix clans might bestow upon her an extremely powerful protective magic weapon, especially one that can protect her divine essence. This is crucial for the final battle in the secret realm, so she must work hard to complete it.
The final secret realm can only be opened by slaying the Evil King; this is an ironclad rule. The destined one must defeat the Evil King to open the Ascension Platform. In the book, Mo Shubai and Cui Luoying were seriously injured while helping Cui Xueruo slay the Evil King. Their so-called seclusion was merely a choice to await their deaths; in reality, they both perished.
However, the golden scroll suggests that the Evil King's target this time is likely her, the one destined for the Yin side. This is understandable, as she carries a more important main mission. Eliminating her is far more important to the Evil Spirit Clan than eliminating Cui Xue Ruo.
Therefore, even for the sake of survival, she must strive to restore the ancient immortal essence of the Dragon and Phoenix clans and ensure their prosperity. The golden scroll hints that igniting the true spirit blood of Ji Ningche and Su Xi is only enough to break even; only if the true blood of three to five more Dragon and Phoenix clans can be activated will the ancestors of the Dragon and Phoenix clans bestow immortal treasures upon them.
What else can we say but to give it our all?
But this dazzling entrance, surrounded by auspicious clouds and accompanied by resounding music—if it wasn't orchestrated by an ascended being, Song Chi's name would be reversed. Damn it! Everyone except the Dragon and Phoenix clans is laughing.
"Senior Brother, you're actually smiling too!" Song Chi glanced at him before landing. Mo Shubai's starry eyes were like crystals, his lips slightly pursed, suppressing the smile, but his gaze was incredibly gentle. "Then I'll forgive him."
Originally, Song Chi had decided upon leaving the secret realm to fly north towards the Canghai Kingdom, following the scripted route. She reasoned that Mo Shubai and his protectors, along with Cui Xue Ruo, her destined one, would soon be trapped within a spiritual barrier. For the next twenty years, unless their cultivation reached the late stage of the Flying Immortal Realm, they would have virtually no chance of escaping the barrier. She had originally planned to seize a Daoist temple next to Mo Shubai and join him on the righteous path.
Nowadays.
Sure enough, as soon as her dragon and phoenix barriers rose, the coastline of the Canghai Kingdom to the north was instantly cleaved off from the towering cliffs to just one or two meters above sea level. Then, a pure white barrier radiating celestial energy appeared before everyone. While everyone was still marveling at the sight, Mo Shubai and the others were indeed dragged into that spiritual realm one by one. Of course, her protectors were also included. Whether it was to confuse the evil spirits or to cultivate more talented individuals, in fact, quite a few talented disciples were also sent into this barrier's spiritual realm.
However, Song Chi discovered that Song Yun was not there, nor was Xi Ya inside, and he immediately turned red with anger.
The golden scroll prompted her to turn around. She discovered that Song Yun and Xi Ya were both in the Phoenix Fire Spirit Realm, and each of them had been given a pill-making room rich in spiritual energy. The two of them stood in front of the pill-making room, muttering in disbelief, "The Innate Phoenix Fire Pill-making Room actually exists." Their eyes were now somewhat crazed.
Xie Lanqing was also present in the western part of the Phoenix Fire Spirit Realm. Before him stood a magnificent, golden-glowing weapon-refining room, its celestial light emanating from the roof, clearly extraordinary. Even the Venerables were overjoyed, especially the weapon-refining cultivators, many of whom were ecstatic. But Xie Lanqing was, after all, a divine being. He calmly looked up and glanced at it twice, then smiled faintly, fanned himself with a fan from his sleeve, and leisurely pushed open the door of the weapon-refining room before entering. At that moment, golden light spread out, and a wisp of brilliant phoenix fire almost slipped out through the door. This caused one of the Venerables to secretly click his tongue in amazement. "It really is innate phoenix fire, incredible, truly incredible. It seems that the unsealing of the Flying Immortal Platform will definitely be completed perfectly." For a moment, everyone was overjoyed.
Aside from the Venerables of the Tai Xuan Immortal Dynasty and the Cang Hai Immortal Dynasty, they were extremely busy. Originally, they wanted to try their luck by entering the barrier at this innate spiritual realm to see if they could ignite their true spirit blood, but they were not allowed to enter.
So the Venerables left two Venerables to guard the Dragon Pool and Phoenix Land, while the rest of the Venerables and members of the royal family hurriedly went back to arrest the people.
Before long, the sky was torn open and the flying boat rushed out. It was clear that they were really in a hurry, even using precious teleportation scrolls. Then, the dragon princes and phoenix grandsons were picked up one by one by the Venerables and thrown into the Dragon Pool and Phoenix Land.
Those who successfully enter the barrier will have their elders moved to tears, praising them as good children.
If they couldn't be thrown into the barrier, the Venerables would be heartbroken and kick them aside, scolding them for their poor character. This made these dragon princes and phoenix grandsons blush with shame.
In reality, those who could enter the barrier were mostly young people in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, and even the Dragon Clan had a young person in the Qi Refining stage. Only two people in the Nascent Soul stage had the honor of entering the barrier.
Of course, when Su Yu, Ji Minghuang, Ji Ningche and Su Xi were the last group to rush out of the secret realm, they were thrown into the spirit realm barrier. Su Yu and Su Xi were immersed in a bottomless pool of water with rolling dragon shadows, while Ji Ningche and Ji Minghuang, the uncle and nephew, were thrown into the raging flames.
After a disciple was placed in each of the two spiritual realms, the barrier surged with celestial waves and was officially sealed.
There are roughly thirty Dragon Pools and thirty Phoenix Fire Lands, which means that among these sixty people, hopefully a few exceptionally talented individuals will emerge. She absolutely must obtain the immortal treasures of the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
After inspecting the two spiritual realms, Song Chi returned to her residence on the northern side, near the barrier of the Canghai Kingdom, without doing anything, much to the anticipation of the Dragon and Phoenix Clan Venerables. The ascendants, presumably to demonstrate her extraordinary status as a Holy Spirit Fairy, had built her a magnificent golden mansion.
Pushing open the door, one enters the backyard, which includes a small garden. Opposite the barrier is Mo Shubai's own Spirit Realm Path barrier. The two Spirit Realm barriers are almost touching. The light is dim, there's no moon tonight, and the wind is strong. Mo Shubai, who was taking a walk along the coastline, saw her arrive at the small garden and smiled slightly as he approached.
Before the two could even speak, their master flew over and coughed lightly. He instructed them to take advantage of the abundant spiritual energy of the spiritual realm to calm their minds and contemplate the matter of reaching the Nascent Soul stage. He also gave them some advice on maintaining a calm state of mind, which they naturally listened to attentively. However, by the time their master finished speaking, the night had completely fallen, and the spiritual energy of the strait obstructed divine sense. Therefore, even if one was close enough, one could not clearly see what was on the other side. Song Chi saw Mo Shubai suddenly raise his hand slightly in the wind and place it on the barrier. Although it seemed casual, she couldn't help but feel a sweet warmth in her heart. So, she secretly glanced at her master, who was still pondering what instructions to give, and then quietly reached out and placed her hand on the barrier, but in Mo Shubai's palm. She saw him glance at her slightly, his eyes sparkling like stars, then smile faintly, his fingers slightly curving in a clenching motion. Song Chi immediately felt a slight tingling in her heart and couldn't help but smile and lower her eyes.
However, when she looked up, she saw her master in front of her with a twitching face, clearly not wanting to look at the two of them. She couldn't help but purse her lips and lower her hand, while Mo Shubai naturally withdrew his hand. Only then did her master glance at the two of them, "Focus your mind and meditate properly. This barrier should be able to help you withstand the lightning tribulation. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity should not be missed."
"Yes, Master." The two immediately bowed and accepted the order.
However, before leaving, Venerable Xueqiao, seeing the eager looks in the eyes of the Venerables of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, couldn't help but twitch his face and still gave Song Chi a message: "The mission of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans cannot be delayed."
"I will, Master." Song Chi readily agreed, bowing to him before bowing to the Venerables of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans. The Venerables, however, dared not bow, each yielding only half a bow. Venerable Xue Qiao was somewhat speechless, but upon reflection, it was only natural. At least she would bear the respect of these two clans. As long as Song Chi didn't dare to do anything that would incur the wrath of the entire cultivation world, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans would definitely protect her to the end. In fact, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans were sometimes quite unreasonable; even if it incurred the wrath of the heavens and the people, they would probably still protect her to the end. In a way… it was her good fortune. Moreover, these two clans were incredibly wealthy, and there would naturally be many gifts. That girl loved money; she would probably be happy for a while.
As for the possibility of failing to complete the mission, Venerable Xueqiao hadn't even considered it. After all, since Song Chi had been chosen to become the Holy Yuan Fairy of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, she would naturally be able to complete the mission. That was beyond doubt.
