CHAPTER 469: CHAPTER 339: ONE OF THE THREE SECTS, YAOCHI IMMORTAL PAVILION

Wu Zhong’s figure shuttled through the clouds.

Ye Lingyue was held in his arms; occasionally she looked down to see countless Gang Winds roaring like dragons and tigers.

Below them, there was a Ten Thousand Abyss.

"Unlike the Nine Sects that are detached from the world, the Three Sects are hidden in a place beyond the worldly realm. This Sea of Clouds is usually shrouded in mist, guarded by the Mountain Protection Array. It opens only on the tenth day of each month." Wu Zhong’s voice echoed by her ears.

Just a few moments later, Ye Lingyue and Wu Zhong had already landed inside the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.

Inside the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, the surroundings were filled with orchid and jade trees, and glazed green tiles—truly like a celestial realm in the mortal world.

Wu Zhong seemed quite familiar with the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.

He swiftly took Ye Lingyue towards a certain area of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.

The Mountain Protection Array of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion was intricate; once activated, even Wu Zhong would expend great energy to forcibly enter.

"You haven’t told me, why are we invading the forbidden area of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion?" Ye Lingyue was still somewhat groggy and did not understand Wu Zhong’s intentions.

"The Nine Revolutions Phoenix Body is a Divine Power Martial Art of the Phoenix Clan, and its true value far surpasses the Fifth-tier Martial Arts. It is divided into three levels. The First Layer is the Third-Transformation Phoenix Body, which upon refinement, grants one a body like the Divine Bird Phoenix, impervious to blades and spears, with a physicality reaching the Reincarnation Realm. The Second Layer is the Sixth-Transformation Heavenly Phoenix, which upon refinement allows one to travel a hundred miles a day and withstand Mortal Fire. The Third Layer is the Nine-Turned Divine Phoenix, which upon refinement, can achieve Nirvana Rebirth," Wu Zhong elaborated smoothly.

"Such an incredible Cultivation Technique, and it’s just Fifth-tier Martial Arts? Isn’t the Exchange Centre taking a huge loss?" Ye Lingyue was both shocked and delighted upon hearing this.

The bodies of Spiritual Beasts are inherently stronger than those of the Human Clan, not to mention Divine Beasts.

The hand around her waist suddenly tightened its grip, causing Ye Lingyue pain. She glared at Wu Zhong, only to be met with his cold gaze.

"I haven’t finished yet, don’t interrupt. Although the Nine Revolutions Phoenix Body is powerful, to refine it, besides needing the mnemonic and mental method, one must also obtain Phoenix Divine Breath. Just for the First Layer, the Third-Transformation Phoenix Body, you need to endure nine phoenix breaths. To achieve the subsequent layers, you need thirty-six phoenix breaths and eighty-one phoenix breaths respectively."

At this point, Wu Zhong paused.

"Across the entire mainland, apart from the old lair of the Phoenix Clan and a few special regions, only the Yaochi Pavilion Master of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion has a Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix. That Ancient Phoenix possesses the Phoenix Divine Breath," Wu Zhong explained, and Ye Lingyue then realized that Wu Zhong brought her here specifically to obtain the Phoenix Divine Breath.

"No, Wu Zhong, if we need the Phoenix Divine Breath, Little Wuya is a Phoenix, why should we go far and wide, entering the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion?"

Due to the Invisibility Elixir and Wu Zhong’s Prohibition, they were unseen on their journey here.

"Are you sure your creature counts as a Phoenix?" Wu Zhong scoffed, giving Ye Lingyue a sidelong glance. "What kind of person breeds what kind of Spiritual Beast. With no substance yourself, the phoenix you’ve raised is no more than a scrawny chicken. Only a mature phoenix over five hundred years old can condense Phoenix Breath with a flame essence. Your little one would need another five hundred years to come close."

Ye Lingyue, unable to hold back, kicked Wu Zhong.

This guy, lethal with his tongue.

"Little Wuya is a rare Illusion Phoenix, only deficient innately because it was attacked by a python and had ingested Phoenix Auspicious Light when it was young."

Ye Lingyue argued.

"Silence, we’ve arrived at the forbidden area." Wu Zhong spoke and had already brought Ye Lingyue to the forbidden area of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion—the Phoenix Platform.

As they approached the forbidden area, Ye Lingyue felt a terrifying pressure.

This kind of pressure made people feel awe and made it difficult to proceed.

On the lofty Phoenix Platform, there perched a colorful Phoenix.

Its feathers, more colorful than the most splendid radiance of dawn, with long tail feathers hanging down like a colorful waterfall.

Around the Colorful Phoenix, the Phoenix Auspicious Light turned into a sky full of rainbows, enchantingly beautiful.

Compared to this Phoenix, the Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix couple Ye Lingyue encountered earlier in Yunmeng Swamp seemed slightly inferior.

Wu Zhong put down Ye Lingyue, his expression becoming grave.

"The cultivation of this Phoenix is very high, far beyond the Phoenix couple we encountered earlier. You have absorbed the Nirvana Heart Lotus and are no longer afraid of the Phoenix Divine Breath’s attack. What you need to do is, when I provoke the Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix to anger, and it spits out Phoenix Breath, absorb nine phoenix breaths. Remember, with your current strength, you can only absorb nine phoenix breaths. Once this is done, I will immediately take you away."

Wu Zhong’s tone was like an adult giving instructions to a child, making Ye Lingyue feel rather uncomfortable.

After saying that, he was about to turn around when a voice floated from behind.

"Be careful yourself." Ye Lingyue thought for a moment and finally added that sentence.

After all, he was risking his life for her.

Wu Zhong paused, chuckled deeply a few times, then suddenly extended his long arms, firmly enfolding her in his embrace, and lightly kissed her forehead, like a chick pecking at rice.

Despite the gauze in between, the man’s cool lips made Ye Lingyue’s body tremble slightly.

"Don’t worry, I certainly wouldn’t want to make you a widow."

After saying that, without waiting for Ye Lingyue to come back to her senses, his figure vanished, leaping into the air, heading straight for the Phoenix Platform.

The Phoenix Platform was a special tower built by the Yaochi Pavilion Master for the Ancient Divine Phoenix.

Wu Zhong’s lips curved up, and swiftly next to the Phoenix Platform, he set up a prohibition to prevent the activities within the Phoenix Platform from being noticed by the people in the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.

Once the prohibition was established, from the sleeve of Wu Zhong came the Heavenly Que Eight Swords, flowing smoothly like water, bursting out.

The eight swords, like meteors falling, charged across the sky and bombed towards the Phoenix Platform.

Accompanied by several booming sounds, the Phoenix Platform shook tremendously.

The Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix, which had been in deep sleep, was abruptly awakened.

Ye Lingyue, watching from a hidden spot, was alarmed.

Wu Zhong, this guy, was actually attacking head-on. Who steals like this?

So overbearing, isn’t it!

A thousand-year-old Ancient Phoenix, what a terrifying existence it is on the mainland, it opened its eyes, golden pupils flashing with irritation.

Especially when it saw clearly the person in the sky, small as an ant.

With a screech, the Fire Bathed Ancient Phoenix spouted out a fiery red flame from its mouth.

That was the first Phoenix Divine Breath.

Even too lazy to stand up, it just opened its mouth and spewed.

Opportunity!

Ye Lingyue’s eyes gleamed, controlling the Star Saliva, and with a whoosh, landed right in front of that Phoenix Divine Breath.

Just upon touching the Phoenix Divine Breath, Ye Lingyue felt a warm flow passing through.

The powerful Primordial Power contained in the Phoenix Divine Breath made every cell in her body scream. She could feel her meridians absorbing the Phoenix Divine Breath, continuously strengthening.

This feeling was even more distinct than when Ye Lingyue earlier broke through to a higher Martial Realm.

The Phoenix Breath was quickly absorbed by Ye Lingyue’s body completely.

Wu Zhong saw this, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

The Phoenix Divine Breath was extremely hot, Ye Lingyue, although she absorbed the Nirvana Heart Lotus and was not afraid of the heat, unexpectedly, her speed of absorbing one Phoenix Breath was so fast.
