The Oceanic Mountain Continent. This was an incredibly renowned continent in the Great Thusand World. Naturally, the fame wasn’t due to the continent, but the noble race that resided there.

The Phoenix Clan.

It was the ruler amongst all flying races in the Great Thousand World with a renowned reputation in the Great Thousand World. At the same time, their strength could also be ranked amongst the top in the Great Thousand World.

As the name implied, this continent was covered in mountains and oceans with a million-foot high mountain that stretched on endlessly. The mountain range was also majestic, with every single one of them sizing up to a hundred thousand. It was akin to a giant that covered this continent in a desolate aura.

In the center of the continent, where mist gathered, a luxurious palace could be vaguely seen, along with a crisp cry that echoed throughout the heavens and earth, making this place seem like a celestial realm.

There was a massive palace in the center that was shrouded in a celestial air with stone seats that flowed down, where people sat on them. Every single one of them was emitting spiritual light that formed into all sorts of flying beasts behind them.

If there was someone else here, they would be shocked to realise that all of them were flying beasts of the Great Thousand World.

The strength of these clans wasn’t at all weaker than the supreme forces in the Great Thousand World. Furthermore, due to the long history of the Divine Beasts, the forces behind them were formidable as well.

So when they’re gathered together, they’re considered a massive power in the Great Thousand World.

There was a silhouette seated on the stone seat who looked to be middle-aged, emitting the air of nobility around him with every single one of his movements.

The Patriarch of the Phoenix Clan was shared between the Pure and Real Phoenix Clans that periodically assumed authority. At this moment, this middle-aged held power in the Phoenix Clan, the Real Phoenix King, Huang Jin.

“Everyone, the Deitification Pool will open in a month, and it will depend on your own capabilities if you’re able to find the source of your bloodline.” The Real Phoenix King smiled with a stern expression.

When he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes flickered, revealing their excitement.

The Deitification Pool had treasures that were left behind by the previous generations. It was an agreement that the Phoenix Clan had come to with the other flying Divine Beasts. When the Heavenly Sovereigns of each clan falls, they would enter the Deifitication Pool and melt their body and bloodline to fuse into the pool.

This way, their descendants would be able to make use of the bloodline source left by their ancestors to purify their bloodline and evolve.

That meant that the Deitification Pool was a great gift that the ancestors of the flying Divine Beasts left for their descendants.

Not to mention, the other Divine Beast Clans, even the Phoenix Clan, was tempted by that gift.

But because it was formed by all the ancestors of the various clans, no one could monopolise it. Thus, it would have to depend on their individual talent on how much they could obtain.

While Huang Jin looked at everyone, he smiled before he turned to the two silhouettes on the edge of the stone stage.

One of them was donned in black clothes, he was the Patriarch of the Nine Nether Bird Clan, Tian Huang.

Behind him stood a girl in a black dress as well. She had a towering figure and stunning curves. Her appearance was gorgeous and her lips were pursed together, which gave others the sense of wildness down to their hearts.

She was naturally Nine Nether.

“Patriarch Tian Huang, Miss Nine Nether, have you reached an outcome with my previous suggestion?” Huang Jin looked at the two of them with a smile.

Hearing Huang Jin’s words, Tian Huang’s face was pale, while Nine Nether bit her lip.

Seeing that the two of them kept their silence, Huang Jin smiled. “The two of you should know that my son cultivated the Nine Circulation Saint Art, and he’s on the eighth level. It’s just a nirvana before he reaches the Saint, and this concerns my Phoenix Clan. So I hope that the Nine Nether Bird Clan could fulfill my wish.”

As he spoke, Huang Jin glanced at the silently seated man who had an outstanding appearance. He was donned in golden robes, making him look extremely noble. Looking from afar, he looked like the son of an emperor and was filled with nobility.

He was the son of Huang Jin, also the Young Patriarch of the Real Phoenix Clan, Huang Xuanzhi.

This person had cultivated the supreme Divine Ability of the Phoenix Clan, the Nine Circulation Saint Art. A nirvana required ten years, and when the ninth nirvana was completed, he would reach the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

Thus, one could see how extraordinary this Nine Circulation Saint Art was, since it was one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities.

However, this Divine Ability was exceptionally challenging to practice, since it had a high requirement. Every single nirvana would require them to devour the bloodline of a Divine Beast. With eight completed nirvanas, Huang Xuanzhi had also reached the Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

Along with the eighth nirvana, the difficulty also increased. Evidently, they had their eyes on Nine Nether’s Undying Bird Bloodline.

The Undying Bird was one of the Phoenix Clan, and the rarity even exceeded that of a True Phoenix. In the world, at this moment, Nine Nether might be the only one that possesses the Undying Bird’s Bloodline.

The other Divine Beasts also coldly looked at this. In the world of the Divine Beasts, it was the strong preying upon the weak. The Nine Nether Bird Clan was only considered a Divine Beast Clan, and not a Supreme Divine Beast Clan. So possessing the Undying Bird’s Bloodline would only attract attention upon them.

Tian Huang’s gaze flickered with a dull light. Nine Nether was the only one that managed to awaken the Undying Bird’s Bloodline in the past tens of thousands of years, and she had been treated as the hope of the entire clan. They all hoped that Nine Nether could finish her final evolution one day and reach the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

The reason why they came to the Phoenix Clan was also for the Deitification Pool. However, they never expected that they would attract the attention of Huang Jin due to Undying Bird’s Bloodline...

How could Tian Huang not know that if Huang Xuanzhi really devours Nine Nether’s Undying Bird’s Bloodline, then her cultivation would stop for the rest of her life...? And it would be a massive blow to their entire Nine Nether Bird Clan.

However, the Phoenix Clan was powerful, and Huang Jin was the Real Phoenix King, a Saint Heavenly Sovereign. He was an existence that their Nine Nether Bird Clan couldn’t contend against, so they would only anger the former if they refused.

At this moment, Tian Huang was panicking, since he could only forcefully reply, “It’s my daughter’s fortune that she could enter your majesty’s eyes. But she was rebellious when she was young and formed a Bloodlink Bond with a human...”

His words instantly caused everyone to look over with an unusual light, and even Huang Jin had knitted his brows. The Phoenix Clans were noble, and they liked purity. In their eyes, even the other Supreme Divine Beasts were crude, not to mention humans.

When Tian Huang saw this scene, he sighed in relief. Although this would affect Nine Nether’s reputation, it was nothing as long as he could protect her.

However, Huang Xuanzhi suddenly smiled. “There’s no problem in that. Capture that human. We have all sorts of methods to dissolve that Bloodlink Bond without harming Miss Nine Nether.”

When Nine Nether heard that, her heart sank, since dissolving the Bloodlink Bond would harm a party. If she wasn’t harmed, then that meant that Mu Chen would be harmed.

Hearing that, Tian Huang could only toughen his scalp and respond, “I’m afraid that he won’t be easy to capture.”

“Why?” Huang Jin squinted his eyes as he casually smiled. “There aren’t many people in the Great Thousand World who could be tough for my Phoenix Clan to capture.”

After a brief hesitation, Tian Huang gritted his teeth. “It’s because the other party is the Ruler of the Mu Abode in the Greatlaw Continent, Mu Chen.”

“Mu Chen?” This name did not cause any unfamiliar doubt, some even exclaimed, “Can it be that Mu Chen who flipped the entire Ancient Buddha Clan upside down?”

Tian Huang nodded his head. If it wasn’t for the fact that he knew that Mu Chen held an entirely different status today compared to the past, he would surely not reveal it.

Huang Jin was also shocked, since this name was too resounding in the Great Thousand World. Naturally, he wasn’t bothered about Mu Chen’s Mu Abode, but he was concerned about Mu Chen’s mother, the current Grand Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan...

Even despite the Phoenix Clan’s background, there was nothing they could do to Mu Chen.

Huang Jin knitted his brows. Since that’s the case, then they couldn’t forcefully capture Mu Chen and dissolve the Bloodlink Bond. Otherwise, Qing Yanjing would surely not let them off.

Seeing Huang Jin falling into silence, Tian Huang had a smear of joy on his face.

Before he could bask in his joy, he sensed Haung Xuanzhi’s profound gaze being directed over before the latter smiled. “Since that’s the case, then we will take a step back. I won’t mind the Bloodlink Bond since it wouldn’t affect me, anyway...”

Their Phoenix Clan loved purity, and he was willing to put up with it to obtain the Undying Bird’s Bloodline. Furthermore, how could he not tell that Tian Huang was trying to reject him...?

Hearing those words, Tian Huang’s heart sank.

Sweeping a glance at him, Huang Xuanzhi had instantly seen through Tian Huang’s thoughts, so he continued, “That Mu Chen relies on his mother to back him up, so there’s nothing my Phoenix Clan could do to him. But likewise, don’t think that my Phoenix Clan will be afraid of him. So I can only say that Mu Chen isn’t qualified for our Phoenix Clan to be afraid of him.

“If you’re going to say that Mu Chen will take revenge for Miss Nine Nether, then I, Huang Xuanzhi, would like to see how capable he is to turn the Ancient Buddha Clan upside down.”

As he spoke, he looked at Tian Huang’s pale and Nine Nether’s cold expression before he continued, “Furthermore, I don’t believe that Mu Chen dares to come to my Phoenix Clan. If he comes, I will capture him and let him know that there’s always someone on a higher level. Don’t think that he can fearlessly walk in the Great Thousand World after causing a ruckus in the Ancient Buddha Clan.”

Although Huang Xuanzhi’s tone was calm, there was an arrogance that showed the bearing of a king. It was truly extraordinary.

Huang Jin smiled and nodded his head. He was satisfied with his son. Although Mu Chen was powerful, he still had a gap compared to his own son.

That’s because his son was the true genius.

Thus, he looked at Tian Huang and Nine Nether with a stern expression before his voice resounded, “I have already made my decision that a month from now, the opening of the Deitification Pool will be when my son undergoes nirvana for the ninth time.

“At that time, if you’re unwilling, then my son can only take it by force.”
